MuNsrEReuRe ON SALOON.

The late Prof. Hugo Munsterburg
of Harvard, recognized authority in
America on German ideals, gave to
the public in 1907 this opinion of the
saloon:
There is nothing more degrading
and no more atrocious insult to civil
lied life than the American saloon. It
has poisoned the social atmosphere
Tor the masses; in 1t the workingman
squanders his savings, and the healthy
man devastates his energies and be-
comes wreck. Political corruption
irradiates from the saloon into the
whole public life and thousand ways
lead from the saloon to the peniten-
tiary. 1t is blessed movement which
now turns with overwhelming energy
against the horrors of this evil and
source Of infection. There may be dis
agreements as to the best ways and
means, disagreement whether strict
prohibition or education towards tenn
perance is the more reliable meth
cd; but there is no disagreement as
to the fact that the saloon has to be
wiped out, and the day seems near
indeed when-thanks to women-the
fight against the saloon will be taken
up in almost every state"

conducted by the National W0man'l
Christian Temperance Union.)

One Of the prize publicity methods
Of the brewery and wine interests Is
to contrast the amount of drunkenness
In one Of our prohibition states, usual
ly Maine, with the amount of drunk
enness In the wine-drinking countries
of France and Italy In an attempt to
show the superiority Of the latter in
the matter of sobriety. So far from
being correct, the statesmen of France
and Italy have long recognized intern
perance as one of the most serious
evils with which they have to contend.
In 1912 the Italian premier, Hon. Luigi
Luzzatti, introduced bill into the
ItaliaR parliament providing measures
for the reduction of intemperance, and
presented great mass of evidence
showing that deaths from alcoholism
In Italy are rapidly increasing, while
the general death rate Is falling. Prof.
Cesare Lombroso, the world-renowned
alienist, recently deceased, published
In the Archive di Psichiatria of which
hC Wuo tlic CultoI, u ctiIIluS dppSdi
from Doctor Antonini, superintendent
Of one Of the largest insane asylums in
Italy, in which he said: 'The Hospi-
tails and insane asylums are filled with
alcoholic patients; consumption pro-
NOTED by alcoholic degeneracy RACES;
pellagra joins itself with alcoholic poi
soning; crime is becoming more fire.
quent among the young; the suicides
are legion; the people are growing
steadily weaker and more morally de-
generate" To this appeal, Lombroso
added his Endorsement, with demand
for stringent legislation. At the Milan
International Congress on Alcoholism,
1918, prominent Italian delegates
spoke strongly of the growing evils
caused by alcohol. Hon. Fl. q. Falci-
oni, Italian secretary of state, report
ed that deaths from alcoholism have
nearly trebled since 1889. Against of
fetal declarations like these the argu-
ments Of brewers and winemen and
their supporters have no weight.

are great help and satisfaction in
clearing up difficulties that frequently

of work to keep them If the work is

very fact that records are kept makes
one careful of details and interested
in making the things of which the

helps one to have a firm grasp on hi

stands in all his work. He knows
whether he Is running his farm or any
branch of his farming at profit or

In no branch of farming are records

VENTILATION OF DAIRY BARN
Where Air is Good, Cows Should Re-
main In Stalls at Night Both In
Summer and Winter.

If ventilation Of the barn is good,
cows should remain in the stall all
night, both in summer and in winter.
If ventilation is imperfect in very hot
weather it would be advisable to turn
them out ia some clean lot or pasture,
but in doing this considerable manure
is lost.
During some Of the colder days of
winter it would be advisable not to
turn cattle out except during short Pc
RODS for watering. Chilly weather has
considerable influence in reducing milk
flow and good COW should not be ex-
posed to too severe climatic changes.

SECOND EMANCIPATION.

In high moments Abraham Lincoln
dreamed of the coming of the hour
when in all the land there should be
found no slave, and he lived to see
the dream come true, and with his own
good hand he unlocked the bar that
held race captive. But that was
not all his dream. He dreamed Of the
coming Of day when in all the land,
the land he loved, and for which he
gave his life, there should be found
no drunkard made by government
sanction. He died and did not see
that half Of his great dream realized,
but his countrymen do not forget, nor
shall they until in the high empire Of
mighty power they commission an
other man from the selfsame room in
the capitol at Washington to write
the emancipation of the land from the
liquor trafiic.-Ex. Gov. J. Frank
