The Guinness stout brewery earned
millions more last year than ever be-
fore the war because Of the British
Government regulation requiring the
use Of vastly increased volume OF
water" The drinkers OF Guinness are
no less fortunate than the stockhold-
ers. Let the volume Of water per bar
rel increase progressively and Britons
will be cured OF malt beverage drink
ing a. once were all the male lnhabi-
tants in a young mining camp on the
top OF the Sierra Nevadas cured of
whiskey drinking. There was only
one saloonkeeper, and he had only one
barrel Of whiskey and no more to be
purchased with gold dust. Every time
he drew a glass Of whiskey he slyly
poured into the barrel glass of
spring water artfully colored with
brown sugar. When the bewildered
miners were getting only a drop Of fre
water per drink. and a gallon impris-
oned no laughter, they declared that
they didn't seem to relish their likker

THE SANITARY VALUE OF TOBACCO
AT TIKI WAR FRONT.
Opinion Of Smoking Considered As.
tuberculosis

Most Of the serious studies Of smok-
ing have appeared In scientific re-
views. The objections to this method
are twofold. In the FIRST place. the re-
suits do not reach the public In a suit
able form. for few writer's are able to
treat OF highly technical subjects with
simplicity and dlrectness. Tho result
Is that both sides often believe that
they find In these studies evidence for
their own view. Secondly. the merely
prejudiced and partisan accounts OF
tobacco are written by those who have
some special point to prove. Come
may be interested In showing that
smoking Is increasing among school,
boys, or that the cigarette Is more
powerful than pipes and cigars. Still
others try to prove that the physique
Of the nation Is deteriorating and that
nicotine Is the cause. The most conn
mon OF these assumptions In that to-
baeco is not a sedative, as most Of the
human race believe. but an intoxicant,
and that iA effects are greatly In.
creased by inhaling smoke. Any one

tobacco to have so many and incom-
patible effects.
A moot point has been the effect Of
tobacco smoke on the lungs. A care
