WORK IN SHADOW OF DEATH
Lives of Those Engaged in Manufac- ture of Explosives Are of Neces-
 sity in Constant Danger.

Explosives are, almost or quite with out exception, composed of substances which are endothermic in character; that is, heat energy is absorbed when they are formed and this heat is lib- erated when they decompose. Heat moreover, accelerates all chemical changes. Hence. writes Henry |. Tal- bot in Atlantic Monthly, if any (even very SmalD part of an explosive mass begins to break down from any cause the heat liberated promotes the rapidlty of the change, and this, lh turn, is communicated to neighborinS portions, until the entire mass may De involved and destroyed.
 So far as it is humanly possible to do so, all exciting causes must be lore seen and fofcstalled, and the lack OI stability during storage has necessl- tated the discardng of many materials otherwise of great promise.
 As an instance of extreme instability the behavior of a substance known as nitrogen iodfde may be cited. This compound explodes with great violence if touched with fcather-a literal in- stance of being "tcked to death"- and often it is exploded by the mere friction of the air when moved from one spot to another, Such sensitive ness as this obviously places a sub stance outside the bounds of practical usefulness; but Gll explosives are, in the very nature of the case, unstable, and their preservation involves the study of factors which differ from this case in degree rather than in kind.

use of whisky when pneumonia has developed, eases off the prejudice against old alcohol for the moment
 not because there Is any less antip- athy toward liquor as beverage put
 because its medicinal value is today separated from it's abuse.
 Simply because liquor is valuable in
 the treatment of these afflictlons is not reason against temperance, pu,
 n is hard argument against abso-
 ute prohibition The argument will not be answered easily by the fanat ics
 The man who takes the position that good liquor should be prohibited aDso1 lutely, and that strychinine and moI e phine should be sold under regula- tion is drawing a distinction that IS as unreasonable as that tho liquor traffic should not have regulation whatever
 Old people and people who have certain illness in which whisky is one of the best recognized aides, should moi have this privilege prohibited by any such rule as had been written into the new constitution
 There was provision drawn in that document against the bringing ln the sale the distribution. or the manu fracture of intoNieants m any foim "as a beverage The provision was re garied as a solid one and sufficient to provide against the abuses of the traf- lie. The convention voted for that provision. Out it was later taken up and rescinded, and ono placed in the as substitute which, 1t was said, met the demands Of a few political mongers who wanted to be leaders of some sort.
 The one physician in the consi- tutional convention raised his voice against the provision that prohibited alchoh0l being used as a meC,c;ne, for scientific purposes, or for sacra- - ment He was a prohibiJionist not a politician, and asserted the financial support he had give prohibition, which is more than the politicians give It. They usually make the prohibition issue an asset But the voice Of the physician was drowned by the voice of the demagogue, and the stricter provision was inserted.
 Today in Arkansas, physicians are treating influenza and the pneumonia That often follows, with whiskey. They are getting 1t for that treatment law or no law Isn't it better to be reas onable in all things, and to strengthen the temperance cause by legislation that is sane, rather than weaken it by that Is so drastic 1t does not receive respect when the issue of life is al stake?

SINK THIS INTO YOU.

Frank Slmonds has become a recog- nixed student of military afrairs. lie is perhaps read after more closely than. any other writer on the war situa- tions. He has carefully followed the movemeats Of all the nations ana all the armies of all the nations
 Germany today is playing upon the spirit of fairness of the American peo~ pie, Germany knows the value of that stake. Germany Is taking chance in havoc and destruction tha she would not dare take unless Amer dca were part of the enemy, and a very important part Here is what Mir Simonds ip his lat- est writing says Of lhe situation as 1etweeen Germ2S4.y-' 24y and the allies. and -I E of vital importance to you as you read this editorial because you are a component part of the American sentiment of the American express ion, of the American spirit, that today the kaiser is trifling with You snouId read this careiuully, and then ueread it, and then make mp your mind that you will be one American the kaiser has not fooled one American the kaiser didn't deceive; one American who will demand an eye for an eve and a tooth for tooth, and who VIII collect his toll from the future gen. erations even though their guilt is only the heritage of forbears Don't be an easy mark American And you change your opinion along these lines, others will also do the same. and within a little while We will have built up spirit that will demand tor every drop of good American blood spilled in France, a like proportion of the blood of the mos. dastardly and most fiendish enemy nation ever found.
 Here is what Mir Simonds says or how your spirit of fairness is being abused so read it. and reshape your views if you believe that it is true and 1t comes from the highest au- thority we can quote:
 'ilt is essential that this whole
 program, and it is a program,
 should be fully appreciated by the
 American people. when he has
 completed his task of devastation.
 The German eXpeCss to make
 peace. He expects to be able to
 explain that such ruin as has
 come to France and Belgium Is
 the natural, is regrettable, conse-
 quence of the war lie will weep
 oyer the ruin as the kaiser Wept
 for Louyain for Rheims and for
 much else, but he means to keep
 up his campaign of arson to the
 very last moment More than all
 this, the very best incentive to
 the German industry ia destruct.
 ion at the present hour is the ever
 insistent declaration in many
 quarters that there must be no
 reprisal at the end of the war, no
 punishment which will hurt Ger
 man feelings and therefore lessen
 the chance for an enduring league
 of nations 10 function. From the
 very outset ef the struggle the
 German has capitalized the hu-
 manity and the civilized instincts
 his foes He is making full use
 of these sentiments now.
 The simple truth is that the
 German thinks that he can lay
 waste northern France and get
 away with il unscathed. even re- waried in his own pocket because
 he relies upon the idealism of his
 foes and particularly of President
 Wilson, 10 protect him from all
 the consequences.
