THE MAN IN MOST DANGER.

The breadwinner, according to Pro-
fessor DebOve, a noted French Scien-
tist. is in more danger of being in
jured by alcohol than the man in com
Portable circumstances, because. with
less opportunity to know the truth, he
is dragged on by the bad example or
urging of others until he tumbles into
the abyss of alcoholism and its accom-
panying miseries.
I'm my YOUTH" he says, 81 saw many
drunken people in the villages and sa-
looms on holidays. Today drunken
ness is less frequent. but alcoholism
has increased. 1t has become chronic.
This is a worse form. for it results in
diseases Of the stomach. liver. kidneys.
heart, blood vessels and nervous sys-
tem."
A long list of hospital evidence Is
rited to show the damage alcohol does
to the drinker, his family and his coun-
try. "Alcohol wounds" says Professor
Debove, "are very difficult to cure. The
alcohOlzers - liquor dealers there
fore, are guilty of veritable crime
against the country"

REVENUE.

In the debate in the house on the
wartime prohibition amendment 10 the
agriculture appropriation bill. Con-
gresham Rainey of Illinois made
spirited speech on the revenue feature
OF the measure. He said:
'As member of the ways and
means committee. in obtaining reve-
nue. for this government. have always
voted for the highest possible tax upon
alcoholic liquors. l have supported to
the best of my ability at nll times the
movement for the increase of the taxes
on alcoholic liquors of all kinds. But
as a member of that committee, en-.
gagged for six years and even for
longer period than that, in solving
these questions of revenue, | think |
am able to say that we can run this
great government without saloons and
we will find revenue somewhere with
which to carry on this republic without
continuing further this alliance with
saloons. | have seen whole communi-
ties, blasted for years by saloons.

REALLY NOT DINERS FAULT
Persistent Stare That So Annoyed
Young Mrs. Hopkins Due to Cir
cumstanccs Beyond Control.

Young Mrs. Hopkins, glancing cas-
ually from her table into one of the
mirrors that lined the side of the
cafe, met the eye of a stout man. at
the table opposite. fixed intently on
her. \ moment later. on looking
arohnd ugain, she beheld the same i'm.
movable stare.
Mrs. Hopkins, feeling that constant,
searching gaze. began TO grow uneasy.
The first feeling of pleased vanity had
changed to one of annoyance, and
now approached that of apprehension.
There was something mysterious. al
NEST uncanny, in the stout persons
unwavering inspection. All manner
of direful tales Of the Black Hand So
ciety, and escaped maniacs flashed
through her mind. The dinner palled.
She iidgeted so nervously that her
husband finally observed that some
thing was wrong.

solicitously.
THAT horrible man." she replied
faintly, with Il shudder. He never
leaves off staring ut me" Hubby
started up violently.
"Who is the scoundrel:" he fercely
demanded.
THAT fat man to the right"
Hopkins sprang out of his chair,
quickly crossed over, and confronted
the wretch.
He beheld n rotund, placid counte-
nance, one eye of which was content
edly regarding the remains OF a pOr-
ton of roast duck, and the other-the
eye beheld by Mrs. Hopl:ius-still
turned in her direction.
Hopkins looked closely. The left
eye was glass!

THE BIBLE AND WINE.

Ferrar Fenton, an eminent Oriental
scholar Of England. says that errors
made by the English translators of the
Bible have much to do with the addic-
ton to alcoholic drinks of the English
speaking people. He says a correct
translation Of the word given frequent
ly In the Bible as "wine" should be
fruit" For example. the Israelites
were promised Il land of "corn and
fruit" Again in Deuteronomy 12:17,
the people are told not to eat the 1.-THE

WHY NOT QUIT Now7

In the city of New York there is a

prOhibitionists, but feel sure that. es-
pecially during the war. it would be
doing our country n great service II
every person who is now selling liquor
could and would discontinue it. The
writing on the wall reads that al no
distant day the state or national gov.
ernment will stop its sale entirely.
So why not quit now"
In this deliverance there Is little
comfort for the liquor advocate who
delights to maintain that prohibition
does not prohibit. Maybe ii does not,
and maybe it never will. but there Is
abundant proof that the steady agita-

creating dismay among the liquor

BOWMAN BACK FROM TEXAS.
President of Local Oil Go. Predicts
 Big Things for Stockholders.

Stockholders of the Arizona Mexico Oil and Refining com pany have been made happy by the optimistic reports regarding the company's holdings which have been made by Edward Pat tee of Mesa and Wirt G. Bow man. who returned from the Texas oil fields, last Saturday, says Mondays Nogales Herald.
 The 1UO acres owned by the company according to tue report of Bowman and. Pattee to their associates, can be sold for $35O,- 900 at the present time.
 At the present moment, re liable company is endeavoring to negotiate with the Arizona. Mexico Oil & Refining company to sink ten wells on a 45 acre tract owned by tue company It will cost $500, ,OOO to sink the wells. The company making the proposition to the Arizona Mexico company offers to main tain the wells after they begin producing, to assume all the ex penses of maintenance and to give to the stockholders of the company 50 per cent of the gross output.
 From the foregoing facts it can be seen that the Arizona Mexico Oil & Refining company surely have something" in the oil fields of Texas.
 There is no use In me ende- avoring to try to give my friends an idea of the oil fields and in particular our holdings" said w. G. Bowman. You simply have to look over the ground to be able to realize the opportun- ity offered us all to become wealthy. The Arizona Mexico Oil 6 Refining company's hold ings are in the center of proven land. All wells that are coming in are leading toward our prop erty and the closer the wells get to our holdings the bigger is the flow from them. Within 60 days our holdings will be worth mil lions of dollars. I am not boast ing or bragging regarding our holdings. The data and figures of experts and the trend of the oil gushers toward our holdings is what I am basing my state ment on."
 Regarding Wade No. 57, in which number of persons in this section hold stock, MT. Bow man said that as soon as the standard rig is sunk, flow of 1900 barrels daily is estimated by experts now ou the ground It is my opinion that within a short time, dividends will be paid on Wade 57. The secretary of the company has not been able to give out reports on the prop erty as regularly as might have been issued but stockholders can be assured that they will derive a profit upon their investment. It must be remembered that the original Wade acreage was proven dry and the we'll now flowing is so small that stock. holders cannot expect three or four to one on their investment ,
