THOSE WHO COME BACK

With the coming of mobilization, many families are unnecessarily distressed by exaggerated reports o1 the danger of service in modern war The Star had occasion few weeks ago to recte the actual mortality figures on the western front They are not nearly so bad as most persons suppose.
 There are cities in the United States where half as many persons per thousand of population die each year as are killed in the fighting in Europe There is one large Southern city where the death rate is twothrds that on the battlefield
 These comparisons are not fair, since the population in city includes babies and old persons, while fighting men are of an age with lower death rate But they n dcate that the mortality is nothing like the conception of our maginations.
 Out of very 100 men sent to France ninety-siX or ninetv-seven should come back. The man who goes to war does engage in hazardous occupation But he far from committing suicide.-Kansas City Star.

 But it is not enough to kill off whisky As has been repeatedly pointed out in the campaign against booze there is no actual difference between the alcoholic poison taken in beer or in whisky in brandy in any other form of booze The only difference is that more beer has to be consumed in order to get drunk but the man who wants to get drunk does not 0biec, to that Brewers and disters formerly worked together but the beer makers were naturally willing to leave the whisky makers to their fate so long as the brewees were not stopped In this the brewers had the aid of their newspapers Whisky found guilty of destroying food Beer is equally guilty Now that whisky has been condemned to death, beer

A Great CHANGE
ENTERS into LIFE
OF ST0REKEEPER

A certain unassuming gentleman in
this city who happens to be a. prom
inent dealer and who UP to a few
weeks ago had become a recluse be-
cause of his physical condition tells
this remarkable and most interesting
tale:
For a number of years, he said,
81 have been SO closely confined to
my business working zealously to
make my store representative in every
respect that wear and tear finally got
me, my face became drawn and hag-
gard and my disposition seemed to
urge people to evade me. It was then
that I began to despise my own COM
pany. My bookkeeper who has been
with me 8 long time one day suggested
that I needed q rest and that my
nerves required attention. She told
me that her father had been in the
state of health which I was expert
encing and that he had taken Phos-
phated Iron. Look at him now, she
said. He works ten hours day ana
appears to be the happiest man in the
world which he believes he is, he says.
"All this happened less than a
month ago. I followed the advice and
look at me now. Back in the harness
with a smile all the while. am feel
ing more fit than ever. When I see a
tired looking face the name of Phos-
phated Iron Immediately comes in my
mind. I am convinced that it Is con-
verting many worn out body into a
life rich in thought, ambition and en-
thusiasm".

ENGLAND LEADS WORLD
IN MAKING CHAMPIONS )
AT SCULLING. EVENTS

Since the first sculling match held
in England Sc years ago today, Eng
lishmen have eXce11ed at that sport.
OF course, since the outbreak Of the
war, the great annual matches have
been abandoned. Ernest Barry of
London. who Few years ago defend
ed his title as worlds professional
sculling champion by defeating Harry
Pearce, Nof Australia over the famous
course from Putney to Mortlake, was
considered one of the greatest scull7
ers who ever lived.
From the first sculling match in
1881 until 1876 the championship was
held continuously in England. In the
latter year E. Trickett carried off the
honors to Australia. A. Champion
ship of England Cup was then insti-
tuted, and was held by Boyd, Higgins
and Elliott. In 1879 the latter was
defeated by e. EIanlan of Toronto,
and the Canadian claimed the worlds
title the following year by defeating
Trickett. After defending his title
several times, Hanlan lost in 1884 to
Beach, an Australian. Beach defend
ed his honors against Jake Gaudaur
of st. Louis, Mo-; Wallace Ross, of
ST. Johns, N. B., and twice defeated
Hanlan.
Another Australian, Kemp, then
assumed the leadership, and twice
beat Hanlan before he lost the title
to Searle, Australian. Sear1e died
soon after defeatiDg O'Connor. a Ca
madam, and Stanbury, an Australian,
became his successor. In 1896 the
supremacy was lost to the British
Empire for a brief period when Jake
Gaudaur, of st. Louis, won over Stan
bury. Gaudaur lost the title to Towns
in a match at Rat Portage, Canada,
in 1901.
Stanbury recovered the title for a
short time, but Towns soon won it
back. Webb was his successor and
in 1908 Richard Arnst, a New Zea-
lander, captured the coveted honor.
In 1910 Arnst successfully defended
his championship against Barry, and
in 1911 against Pearce, the South At
| rican champion, but lost to Barry
shortly afterward. After a long
wandering the championship went
back to England, and is likely to stay
| there for many years to come.
