THE REVENUE ARGUMENT.


while some senators want to
make the nation bone dry thruout
the war, others argue that temperance
in drink will not interfere with the Wig
orous prosecution Of the war, and that
the nation ought not to lose the i'm
mense revenue that reasonable pro-
hibition' would yield. They will make
their fight chiefly upon that argument"
- Washington correspondence, New
York Times
In every state where the saloon is
sue has been acute this claim for llq-
uor that it is revenue producer will
come with a familiar sound.
The shrewdest thing liquor ever did
was to associate itself with the public
revenue, national and local License
money has held the saloon Tor years
where but for that public sentiment
would have wiped it out, and internal
revenue tax has protected liquor ma
tionally. long after it was banished
from the local community.
OF course, liquor does not produce
revenue either locally or naturally, 1t
merely collects revenue, generally from
those least entitled to pay. and takes
share for the collection thar would
shame a Turkish tax farmer
1t is to be hoped that the senate
if it decides to continue wine and

DRY NATION NEAR.



National prohibition was brought
within hailing distance, if not within
reaching distance by two amendments
added to the food control bill in the
house of representatives Saturday.
The first liquor amendment offered
by Representative Barley, of Ken
lucky, where the bourbon comes from,
fatty prohibits the use of food material
for the manufacture of alcoholic bever-
ages during the war. This would shut
off the manufacture OF distilled ana
fermented liquors except for other pur-
poses than drinking, but would not OF
itself do away with drinking. There
are large stocks Of liquor on hand,
whisky acknowledgements enough
to meet the dwindling demand after
the Reed amendment becomes effective
July l. The Webb amendment, adopt
ed by the house Saturday, would close
this loophole. 1t gives the president
power to take over and utilize for war
purposes all stocks Of distilled spirits.
Under it the president might seize and
redistill all bonded whisky If the
manufacture Of beer, wine and whisky
were shut off and the present supplies
of spirits Communicated, the whole
country would be brought to a dry
basis within a few months. Beer is a
more or less perishable product and is
not manufactured in advance on such
large scale as whisky.
The senate may or may not accept
the liquor amendments to the house
food control bill. Various prohibition
measures are pending in the upper
house. There is eagerness on the part
Of administration leaders to pass the
food bill within the week if possible:
Haste, combined with the preference
of some Of the prohibition leaders FOR
other prohibition measures may block
this promising start toward national
prohibition. However, if the food bill
should go to a vote in the senate with
both of the amendments adopted by
the house. there is little doubt that it
would carry. National prohibition as
q war measure is just that close.

10 answering the question al the be-
ginning OF this discussion. he mus;
now figure out in dollars and cents
whether the Work of Trucks com.
pared with their Cost exceeds Work
Of his Horse Delivery compared with
its Cost. Ii is apparent that whatever
we may say against that discredited
animal, the horse, we must take off
our hats to him in this one respect:
he is still the standard by which other
means Of city and suburban transpor-
tation are judged, according to cost
and according to results. The ques.
ton then is. how does the cost of
motor delivery compare with that OF
the horse standard?
We can do no more in this review
than indicate the points which will
come up in such comparison. The
cost of his present equipment is no
doubt all too well known to the mer-
chant The feed bills. the stable rent.
the wagon repairs; these appear in
concrete form on his ledgers.
The cost of the new equipment is
not known but may be estimated
closely. The first cost of the trucks
is. of course, to be had to a cent.
This. however, should not be charged
against one years expense, but should
be distributed over the. years which
can confidently be expected as the
term of life Of good truck. The OLD
equipment must be disposed of, per.
haps all at once, perhaps gradually.
Certain expense will be incurred in
making over the shipping room to ac-
this new type of trans
portation service. As to the cost of
operating the trucks. reliable figures
may be obtained from truck agents or
journals which will give
him a pretty close estimate. Certain |
things are already known to him:
such as wages, interest and terms of
payment for the trucks. To these he
must add such factors as garaging |

All the worthwhile records have been won by the
Super-Six. That is, speed records for stock cars.
Records for quick acceleration. The hill-cimbing

Endurance reeords-mOst important of all--have

record was broken by 81 per cent. The transconti-

Complete recovery from the paralysis
is rare When the paralysis persists
the wasting of the muscles is extreme.
Even the growth of the bones of the
affected limb is retarded or arrested.
The joints may be relaxed. Paralysis
is often the first sign. Since the out
look for complete recovery is bad, pre-
vention becomes a bigger factor for
those who are free from the disease.
The prevention of the disease may be
accomplished by general sanitary
means. Cleanliness of a general char
aeter is the biggest factor here in pre-
vention. Recovery is a spontaneous
process which can be greatly assisted
by proper medical care.
Recovery is accomplished by a pro-
cess of immunization which takes place
during the acute stage of the disease,
and by the gradual restoration Of the
affected muscles by proper treatment.
The public is best protected by the
discovery and isolation Of those who
are i'll of the disease. Those who have
associated with the sick should be un-
der sanitary control The virus leaves
the body in the seeretions Of the nose
and throat and in the intestinal dis
charges. The spreaders Of the infec-
ton include persons i'll of infantile
paralysis and contacts. Kissing, spit
ting, sneezing and coughing are the
means by which the virus is spread.
Avoid people who earelessly perform
those acts, whether they manifest par
alysis or other symptoms. Healthy per-
sons may act as carriers of the disease.
If your child has a slight indispOsi-
ton or fever better be on the safe side
and call your physician. Death often
takes place in the acute stage before
there is any paralysis.
The broad ax., 1917-09-22

Infantile paralysis is an acute infee-
tiOus disease, produced by a definite
and specific germ or virus. 1t is known
to the medical fraternity as acute an
terror pOliOmyelitis because it attacks
principally the anterior horns of the
spinal cord and because it is acute.
The brain is also affected. 1t occurs
sometimes in epidemic form. 1t at
taeks children principally, but adults
are often affected.
The tendency of the disease is toward
recovery, but it often proves to be
fatal. When il is fatal it is because
those portions of the brain and spinal
cord that controls breathing and heart
action are affected. There are remark
able abOrtive forms which present
symptoms such as headache, twitehing
of the limbs, vomiting, transient fever
without the subsequent paralysis.
There are a few cases with coma, con-
vulsions, rigidity without local paraly-
sis.
In the majority of eases of the spO-
radio there is merely a slight indispo-
sitiOn and fever is noticed or probably
the first indication of trouble is the
twitehing of a limb an arm or a leg.
One or both arms may be affected, one
arm and one leg or both legs. Fever
is usually present. Commissions may
usher in the trouble, but that is rare.
Pain is often complained of in the
early stages. The pain may be loealiz-
ed in the back or between the shoulders.
Pressure on the paralyzed limbs may be
painful. The paralysis comes on sud
denly and usually reaches its full de
velopment in day or a night. In the
arms the paralysis is rarely complete
