SCAB WHISKY.

(John f. Connelley. Labor Leader.)
Ninety-four per cent of the whisky
made in the United States is made by
the whisky trust. Whisky Is made by
nonunion labor, paid only 500 per
week according to the United States
bureau of census reports. The hours
of labor range from ten to II per day.
Out of 500 paid for whisky at man.
ufacturer's price only SOS goes back
to the wage earners who made the
whisky.
1t costs only II cents to make gal
Ion of whisky.
II at some future time a distillery
would be unionized, 1t would be four
years before whisky made there could
be put on market unless 1t goes out
as rot-gut whisky.
If scab whisky is put into a whisky
bottle made by union bottle blowers
with words "Union Made" blown on
bottle, 1t will not make the whisky In.
side the bottle union-r1ade whisky.
1t will take eight years to use up
all the scab and nonunion-made whisky
now In stock In United States.

Effective snowplow.

making turns. Take another eight
foot plank and saw Off two feet for
brace (C) and spike this brace at
right angles to the longer plank. 1t
may be necessary to let out the reach
so that the outer end of the brace
will not be too far forward on the
moldboard CD. The brace should be
raised an inch or two so that the snow
which falls in the triangle will spill
out readily. When spiked together
the pillow should have a comparatively
small spread, say four feet. A wide
spread means too heavy drag and
unnecessary labor. To hitch the pillow
to the bob use two clevises and ring
attached to the end of the left side of
the plow (point marked b.. In order
to do effective work a man should ride
the pillow.
One distinctive feature Of the plow's
construction lies In the fact that the
left side Of the pillow Is two feet longer
than the right side.
The left side is made so 1t can be
snugly attached to the outside of the
right-hand front runner of an ordinary
pair Of hobs. When travelling, the left
(longer) side parallels the runner and
the right (shorter) side forms the
whole blowing surface.

GOOD

sNoWPLoW IS EASILY MADE
Effective Device for Clearing High
ways In Winter Can Be Put To-
aether by Any Farmer.

A farmer who is firm believer In
good roads In winter as well as in sum-
mer, could not get any satisfaction
from his town superintendent when
snow blocked the six and one-half mile
way to town, writes Laurence w. Girls
void In Farm Journal. So instead Of
going to the town-father and bawling
him out. the farmer knocked together
snowplow and started out. The
work done with the pillow that day
made 1t easy for a team to trot all
the way to town and not get In trouble
when 1t was forced to turn out for an
other rig. And the job was over be-
fore gang of men with shovels could
fairly have started.
Directions for making the plow are
as follows: Take a 2 by 8 inch plank.
eight feet in length "a In the accom-
panying picture), and use 1t for the
side which Is to travel flush against
the side of the bob runner. A ten
inch plank might work, but 12-inch
one would not because 1t could not
swing ahead of the rear bob when

Honest Man.

Annis Burke Of the Claypool hotel
believes that Diogenes did not need a
lantern to find the proverbial honest
man. Burke discovered that individ-
ual when he received letter from a
man in Louisville, who, several days
before, had been a guest at the Clay
pool.
In his letter the man explained that
when he left the hotel he had procured
what he thought was pair of his over
shoes from his checkroom. He did not
notice that they were not his until he
got to Louisville. He then discovered,
he said, that the shoes he had obtained
were not his. but were brand-new
pair, and worth at least so cents more
than his had been.
The guest said that he desired to do
the square thing with the man who
had taken his overshoes, and offered to
send the shoes back on receipt Of the
necessary postage. Burke said he
supposed the other man had never mo-
ticed the Observation-Disclosures News.

MONEY FOR RURAL HIGHWAYS
Bonds for County Roads Should Never
Run Longer Than 80 Years, Say
Agricultural Experts.

Bonds sold for county highway Inn
provement, in the opinion of road spe-
cialists of the department of agricul-
ture, should never run for more than
30 years, and retirement even earlier
is better where this can be accom-
plished without too great an increase
In the tax rate. 1t is dangerous prac-
tice to have bonds run for long pc
Rod, because In such cases the In
debtedness often outlives the estimated
life Of the Improvements made with
the money so raised. Money borrowed
to build roads should be repaid by
those who enjoy the benefit of the Inn
provements thus financed, and not to
be a debt upon those who gain no bene-
at from the expenditure.

ALCOHOL AN ExcRETIoN.

The origin of alcohol is most signi-
fcant of its character.
1t is an excretion of the yeast plant
thrown out because the plant has no
further use for 1t and its retention
would have poisonous effect. Just as
the human body is poisoned by an ac-
emulation of waste matter, so the
yeast plant is injured by its waste
product. When the alcohol has reached
a strength of IA Rer cent it is suffi-
ciently poisonous to the yeast plant to
stop all of its activities.
1t Is an odd thing that any excre-
ton Is poisonous to the living organ
ism which produces 1t and to all higher
forms of life. THE excretion Of a
mammal might serve as food for some
of the lower yertebrates and certainly
for fungi and bacteria, but Inevitably
has toxic action upon any organism
Of higher rank" says DIR. Winfield
Scott Hall. of Northwestern Medical
school. and he continues:
1.-The relation of alcohol to life may
thus be summed: ~ Ethyl alcohol Is
the excretion of fungus; (2) excre-
tons which are toxic (poisonous) to
the organism which excretes them are
also toxic to all higher organisms; (3)
alcohol Is toxic to the yeast plant and
in conformity to laboratory observa-
tons as well as to the logic Of the case
alcohol is toxic to all animal pro-
toplasm."
And the layman's conclusion would
probably be: "The yeast plant, In
common with animals, first consumes
food and then decomposes 1t. Man
drinks the excreted decomposed food
of the yeast plant, called alcohol, and
naturally is poisoned thereby"

FIX ROAD FOR AUTOMOBILES
Radical Change In Treatment Of High
ways That Bear Brunt Of Travel
10 Suggested.

The suggestion made by Francis NJ.
Hugo, secretary Of state Of New York.
that radical change Is called for in
the treatment of the roads that bear
the main brunt of automobile travel,
must strike laymen, at least, as highly
important. He points out that only
small part of the width Of these roads
is actually used by most of the vehi-
clcs which pass over them, and yet
when the road has to be repaired or
renewed the whole width has to be
dealt with, for mere patching in most
cases cannot be regarded as the most
practical method of maintenance" Ac-
cordingly, he proposes the use of pre-
pared tracks made of special ma
terial, continuous and smooth in char
acter, and sufficiently wide,v which
would "bear nearly all the traffic and
would lengthen the life of the road ten
times Its present period" York

DRINK AND WAR coMPAREp.

In a recent published statement DR..
G. w. Saleeby. F. r. G. S.. r. F. s.,
one Of the leading physicians Of Great
Britain, says that every year alcohol
makes 45,445 widows and orphans in
England and Wales alone, or over 124
a day.
"The first year of the great war;" he
says, "cost us about $4,000 lives Of our
soldiers and sailors. But during every
year of peace, alcohol takes at least
10000 lives In this country. On the
most moderate reckoning 1t is respons-
ible for one-seventh, or about IA per
cent, of the whole death rate. This toll
Of over a thousand lives week, year
In and year out. is three-fourths of the
toll exacted by the greatest war in his
