OUTLOOK For pIsTlLLERs.

Midas Criterion, leading spokespa-
per Of the whisky and wine trade, very
sensibly tells the distillers that pro-
hibition future does not look SO dark
after all--and incidentally deals blow
to the compensation plea. We are glad
to pass on this optimistic view, be-
cause once assure the distillers that
they will lose no money through prohi-
bition and we shall hear no more from
them about personal liberty" Says
Midas:
"In the next five years there will be
an average Of not under 5000, 900 motor
cars In the United States. With eight
miles to the gallon for fuel and 80
miles average per cay would equal
four gallons Of fuel per day per car,
or 100000 gallons per day total, with
a total Of 7,0OO,O00OO0 gallons per
year. Add to this 100000 motor trucks
averaging 10 gallons per day, we would
have 1,750.O00,000 gallons more, or q
total Of $3.50, 100000 gallons of fuel for
the year. This would certainly tax the
capacity of every distillery in the land.
and, besides, denatured alcohol for fuel
does not require $L10 per gallon tax
from the government"

ALCOHOL AND THE SOLDIER.

Does the use of alcohol prevent a
man from being good soldier? Sir
Thomas Anderson Stuart, dean Of the
medical faculty in Sydney, Australia,
thinks that this question is most per-
tinent one, and that 1t Is the angle
from which nations today should dis
cuss the drink problem. He says that
alcohol does prevent man from be-
ing good soldier and that military
men and scientists have proved It. We
quote:
"Alcohol Is subversive of discipline,
and robs man Of his prudence, judg-
ment, conscientlousness and higher
morality. The development of the hui
man brain took countless years. but al
cohol works change quickly, and
brings man to the level of beast in
few minutes. Alcohol has also had a
great influence on the sexual passion,
and the diseases which result are the
shame and bane of the military au-
thorities.
II have seen 400 men In one day In
one place. They all came from one
military camp, and alcohol was the in
direct cause Of all their misery. When
one man asks another, What Is your
poisonT he does not know how cor
rectly in a scientific sense he Is speak

personal LIBERTY"

When Billy Sunday was conducting
meetings In Milwaukee, he, according
to custom, sent invitations to the large
department stores and other industrial
concerns to be present on special eve
nings. Inasmuch as Mr.. Sunday always
has something forceful to say concern
Ing the liquor traffic, the brewers ex-
pressed their dlsapproval of the whole
proceeding by asking Milwaukee bust
ness houses to forbid their employees
attending the meetings. A manager Of
one of the department stores thought
this too good to keep to himself. He
had copies Of the letter printed and on
the reverse side an urgent invitation
to the meetings, with comment on the
brewers particular brand of personal
liberty"

Short With the Bores.

DIR. Charles w. Eliot. who recently
celebrated his eighty-third birthday in
Cambridge. has always had short
way with bores.
In a hotel one day bore tackled
Doctor Eliot and talked straight ahead
for ten minutes about classical litera-
ture, the best hundred books, ten-foot
shelves and so forth.
II tell YOU" Doctor Eliot interrupted
WARMLY tell you, man. there are no
mussels to compare with the abilons
mussels you get in Frisco"

has that got to do with what I was
talking about?"
Doctor Eliot yawned.
'What were you talking about?" he
said ts

The Profteer.

Harold Mccormick of Chitago,y who
has QUILTED the whole YarrOwdale
lcrew at his own expense, is a very
hrich man and very generous man,
0but he does not like to be "done."
A Mr.. Mccormick, on one of his visits
1to Florida, neglected to stipulate his
ihotel rate In advance. The hotel man
took advantage of this oversight, and
the bill he presented was exorbitant.
Mr.. Mccormick, however. paid with
out murmur. Then he said, as he
folded the receipt in his wallet:
"By the way, have you got any two
cent stamps?"
"Yes, sir" said the hotel man. How
many would you like to have"
"Er--," said Mr.. Mccormick, mild
ly, "how much are they apiece?'

BEER AND WINE.

Alcohollzed blood starves and taints
the brain cells and allied nervous sys-
TEN. Psychic brain cells bathed in
toxined blood do not give safety and
logical surety to the movements Of the
mind. Alcoholics should be classed with
the other poisons and their use as bev-
erages discarded. Medical men have had
testimony from laboratory, hospital.
and fatal family pathologic lineage and
sequence testimony against alcohol as
an unsafe drink, forceful for harm
beyond former estimate. Even in their
mildest forms of dilution, as in wines,
beers, and ales, alcoholics are not fit
for the family table, the social club,
or the public bar.-Dr. Charles F.
Hughes, Editor Of the Alienist and
Neurologist.

BETTER JOBS FOR SAL ooNMEN.

More workingmen lose their jobs be-
cause saloons are open than would be
the case were the saloons to be closed.
When liquor puts man out of a job 1t
units him for another Job. When no.
license puts bartender out of job
1t makes him wealth-producing work
ingman. 1t is better that the barteD-
der should lose his Job and get bet
ter one than that dozens of the poor
unfortunate patrons Of the saloon

cure one.
