Harvard University, says they are.
He 10 not alone In his opinion. This
symposium on the effects of beer
drinking by Germans Is given pub

the Board of Temperance of the
Methodist Church, which quotes from
Prof Days article in Munsey's Mag

lifelong drinking of mild beer has
been one of the most potent
causes for tho amazing brutalitics
Of official Germany. These crimes
have been ordered by men who

Prof. Daily points out that Ger
manic people are the only group who
feed alcohol to babies and very young
children. and that child grown to
manhood Is drinker of alcohol and
Is handicapped in his development of
moral character. Prof. Daily closes
with quotation from Moltke, who
once said that Beer is a far more
dangerous enemy to Germany than
all the allies of France"
German writers have not failed to
warn the people of the danger Of beer
drinking. Prof. Adolphc Stille, of
Leipsic. has made a study OF beer

Germany, and his statements are full

DON'T WANT BOOZERS AS
HUSBANDS

Nebraska is now enrolled as one
of the 20 Prohibition states. Much
of the power of temperance senti-
ment which resulted in making the
state dry came from the attitude of
Bohemian young women who let it
be known, and are still letting it be
known, among the states Bohemian
settlements that they will not marry
young men who drink. If this course
were universal among young women
of all classes in America it would
have tremendous effect.

WHAT BARTENp E RS
THINK OF CHURCHES

loonmen Think of Churches"
the Dallas (Texas) Church
World prints the gist of inter
views with 118 Dallas barkeep-
ers. In view of the fact that
the churches are the leaders in
the fight against the saloon it
would be only natural to con-
clude that bartenders would not
have very much love for the in
stitutions that are fighting them
so hard, and yet the gist of the
opinion of nearly all of the
bartenders is that the churches
are good and there was no bar
tender who would admit that
he would live in Dallas if there
were no churches. there. The
worst thing that any of them
could say about churches was
that they should build up Chris
tianity and keep out of politics.

ALL TICKS FOUND ON ANIMALS

Some siockowners still cling 10 the
belief that ticks cannot all be eradt
Gated because the small animals. such
as rabbits, cite. which harbor ticks,
caunot be treated TO destroy the para
sites iIenc. they conclude that the
methods at present employed IN tick
eradication cannot prove successful
Such reasoning would be- entirely
logical provided all ticks found on all
animals were the same kind Of ticks
True, 10 the casual observer all ticks
have a striking similarity IN appear
ance, or look more or less alike But
~ matter Of fact. there are quite a
number Of different varieties Of ticks
each one being peculiar 10 certain
animals. but do not develop on others
bur So Tar as Texas fever Is concerned,
there Is only one variety Of tick known
In North America that @iii transmit
the germ OF this fever. and that il the
common cattle tick, which develops
only on cattle. horses aud mules The
other ticks which are found on dogs,
rabbits. and other animals. while they
all belong to the tick family. do not
affect cattle TO any extent. and have
mo- connection whatever with Texas
fever, nor are they considered at all
in the campaign Of tick eradication.
The confusion. or miseoneepilon,
eith regard to the possibility Of tick
eradication, seems 60 have arisen from
the idea. or belief therefore, that all
ticks seen, or found, oh all kinds of
animals. are one and the same kind Of
ticks which, fortunately, Is nol the
