Conducted by the National Womans
TO DRY Towns.

Writing for the Atlantic Monthly.
Ida NJ. Tarbell tells of her experience
on Chautauqua circuit In western
Pennsylvania, central Ohio and Michl-
gan.
ave came to know almost as soon
as we reached a new place whether the
town was dry or not" she says. "A
town that had been dry over period
of dozen years had a trimness about
the streets and buildings, a look OF
freshness and energy about young peO-
pie and old which stood out in almost
incredible contrast TO what we found
in the wet town of the same size. We
went to one town in Ohio which had
been dry for 81 years. so the hotel
keeper told me. He claimed to be n
much-traveled person, and said that in
all the many towns which he had
known intimately. he had never found
one in which there was such fine lot
of young people as here. In health.
in vigor. in initiative he believed that
the young men and women, particular
ly of the working classes, were tremen-
dously ahead of the same group in the
towns where liquor was freely dis
played"

BEER NOT COOLING.

DIR. W. A. Evans, conductor Of the
Chicago Tribune's health column. and
a man of high rank In his profession.
gives the following facts:
All kinds Of beer contain eight
tenths of an ounce Of alcohol, equiva-
lent to nearly tablespoonful OF
whisky.
While cold beer tastes cool and pleas
ant to hot man, it does not cool him
off it heats him up. The alcohol and
solids will bring increased heat.
The effect of alcohol is to induce
an excess Of blood to the skin.
Whenever a large amount Of blood
goes to the skin, 1t causes feeling OF
heat.
When a man drinks beer, he causes
himself to feel hot.
He also actually increases his bodily
heat.
He increases his chance Of sunstrOke
at least a hundred per cent.

GENERAL PERsHlNe's BLOW.

Gen. J. J. Pershing, commander OF
the first United States troops to go to
the battle front in France, is an ardent
advocate of prohibition. Pershing's
punitive expedition into Mexico was.
to quote writer in the New York
tribute, "the drlest body Of troops
that ever marched. It travsbad abso'
lutely on the water wagon, and the
going was hard. Some Of those SOL
diers went into Mexico soft and mod
erately run-soaked. But they came
out lean, clear-eyed and hard as nails.
The sanitary corps reports on that ex-
petition will show some wonderful re-
suits. Despite the hardships Of the
first rush, the sick reports were star
tlingly meager."

MORE IN WET THAN IN DRY.

The liquor interests would have tho
public believe that prohibition In
creases the number Of Illicit stills.
What does the internal revenue office
say about it? The figures for the year
ending June 80, 1916, show that the
number Of moonshine plants seized was
1926, or $40 fewer than in the year
1915-in spite Of the fact that dry ter
ditory has been steadily increasing.
Not a single Illicit still was reported
for seizure in the prohibition states
of Arizona, Dakota, Oregon or Wash
ington. There were only six in Missis-
sippi, four in Arkansas, and six in
West Virginia. More gallons Of Illicit
whisky were seized in any one Of the
wet states of Illinois, Kentucky, Mas
sachusetts, Ohio and Pennsylvania
than in any prohibition state.

With a singing heart Alaire rode
through the night at her husbands
side. The strain of the last few hours

curiously weak, and she kept close to
Dave, comforted by his nearness and
secure in the knowledge of his strength.
Although he was unusually taciturn
and rode with his chin upon his breast,
she attributed his silence to fatigue.
Now and then, therefore, she spurred
to his side and spoke softly, caressing-
Nv. At such times he reached for her
hand and chung to it,
Dave was indeed weary; he was. in
fact, in sort of stupor, and not infre-
0uently he dozed for a moment or two
In his saddle. Some two hours out
from La Feria the riders halted at
point where the road dipped into a
rocky stream-bed; then, as the horses
drank, Dolores voiced thought that
had troubled all Of them
IF that bandit really means to spare
us, why did he send us away in the
night, like this?" she asked. II shall
be surprised if we are not assassinated
before morning"
HE must have meant it," Alaire
spoke with a conviction she did not
entirely feel. Father OMalley aroused
the finer side of his nature"
Perhaps" agreed the priest. Some
where in him there is a fear Of God"
But Dave was skeptical. More like
ly a fear of the gringo government"
said he. "LongoriO is fOurflusher.
When he realized he was licked he
tried to save his face by u grandstand
MAY. He didn't want to let US Co."

fairs of greater moment than this.
But when he heard the outside door
creak shut behind them his indifference
vanished and he halted with head
turned in an effort to catch the last
sounds of their departure. His face
was like tallow now, his lips were
drawn back from his teeth as II in su-
preme agony. A moment and the hOof-
beats had died away. Then LOngorio
slipped his leash.
He uttered cry-a hOarse, half

He plucked the collar from his neck as

finally he sprawled full length upon the
floor, clawing at the cool, smooth tiles
until his nails bled.
Christ! O Christ !" he screamed.
The sound of his blasphemies
reached the little group Of soldiers who
had fingered curiOusly outside, and
they listened open-mOuthed. One by
one they crossed themselves and stole
away into the darkness, muttering.

City's Best Detective
Quits; Pay Too Small

City Detective James Milone of
the Tacoma police department, re-
nowned in police circles as one of
the best Identification men on the
Pacific coast, resigned his position
Friday.
Milone gave as his reason for
quitting the department the low
scale of salaries paid by the Ia
coma department.
He notified Commissioner Pet
tit that he could not support his
family on his police salary. The
former detective will engage in
business for himself, opening a
grocery store at Cosgrove near the
army post.
Detective Milone has been q
member of the police department
for 10 years. During that time
he has made numberless import
ant catches of criminals because of
his remarkable ability to recognize
faces.
ut is no disparagement to the
other officers to say that Milone
is the best detective, for his line
of work, that Tacoma has ever
had" said Commissioner Petit.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June I.
The war department has decid-
ed to reduce its cantonment camps
for the new army and national
guard from 32 to 16 and to place
the national guard under canvas.
The situation is confused and
in some instances orders have
been sent out for men In charge

ed out.
Augusta, Ca, is one of the can

The matter of cost was Off

reason for the shift in the plans
The appropriation now under
consideration of congress calls for

cost of 32 cantonments would be
about $150,000,000.

scription age limit, but do

will be announced as soon as they
have all been compiled by the city
officials. Register between a.
m. and o p. m.
Q.-Do you have to claim
exemption to get it? B.
A.-That depends upon the
case. Men physically unfit will,
no doubt, be exempted, whether
or not they claim it. The govern
ment has provided a blank, and
asked that those who intend to
claim exemption indicate il when
they register June 5. This is large
~ for the purpose of giving the
government some idea of the num-
Der of exemptions that will be
claimed, and ii does not bind or
prove anything.
Q.-Can / volunteer in the
navy after registering?
ANXIOUS.
A.--Anyone can volunteer in
the navy until he is chosen for Sc
lect service, according to interpre-
tatiOns based on instruction now
at hand. IL is possible that all the
vacancies in the army, national
guard, navy and marine corps will
be filled by select service, though.
Q.-My son Is a marine
engineer, with a government
license, and is employed on a.
tug with a dredge. VIII that
give him claim for exemp-
ton? MOTHER.
A.-The registration board will
have to consider his case in the
light of government instructions
yet to be issued concerning exemp-
tons. The select service law per-
mits exemption for men employed
in Industries vital to American
conduct Of the war.
