PROHIBITION HAS NOT

CHICAGO. Oct. 24.-Americans are

wrong" said Mr.. Gardiner "Isknow
we were told that the alcohol starved
system would turn to sweets, but the
expected rush failed to materialize. II
anything business began to fall of. .
Another paradox of the ice cream
trade, Mr.. Gardiner explained. was
that more OF the dainty was consumed
in cold climates than in warm.

GROW OLD MODERATELY

mo one, not even child, likes to
take unnecessary trouble" Therefore,
you and / who are, or believe we are,
in good health do not like the trouble
of doing things which will give us the
greatest assurance of good health. Be
ing lazy, we like the soft things We
dislike chewing tough meats and vege-
tables. 1t is natural for us to prefer
riding to walking.
But life insurance companies, tigur-
ing out their unexpected losses due to
policy holders dying earlier than they
were expected to, find that they are
paying a great increase to the families
of middle-aged men who have died of
heart and kidney diseases and of para
lytic strokes.
The reason is pretty definitely estab-
lshed There is too much nervous and
mental rush on the part of some. For
some, too much physical work crowded
into few years, followed by too much
rest and ill-ftting laziness. Hearts
grown to a size which will meet the
needs of a man who labOrs hard for ten
or twelve hours day can not accom-
modate themselves readily to the les
sened needs of man who "justs sits
around all day"
Coffee, tobacco and alcohol have had
a greatly increased consumption in this
country. They have been used by
tired men to numb their sense of
fatigue and thus enable them to work
harder and go faster. These things,
together with the strain, have hardened
arteries A set of hardened arteries
are about as useful to the owner as a
hardened old garden hose attached to
a high pressure water system.
Now unless one likes the idea of
short life or likes the thought of troub-
ling his family, he has good reason to
take the trouble to give some time and
some thought to his health.
He is foolish, indeed, who overw0rks
and underplays in his youth that he
may loaf in his old age. He is so
likely not to have any old age.

WISCONSIN LEADS IN SHOS

Madison, July Wisconsin farm
ers during 1913 clinched their hold ON
the leadership in the number of silos.
according to an estimate given by
Joseph A. Becker of the Cooperative
Crop Reporting service Gu. S. Bureau
of Crop Estimates and Wisconsin State
Department of Agriculture.
During the year, May 1918 to May
1919, approximately 5000 siIos were
built, and the total number increased
from 64,668 to about 70,500. That this
was done in the face of greatly in
creased cost of labor and materials
shows how well the value of silage as
a feed has impressed itself upon Wis
consin farmers. 1t is estimated that
there is one or more silos on every third
farm in Wisconsin. Estimates for
other leading states are: New York,
5000 : Illinois, $4,000; Iowa, 25,000;
Indiana, $4,000; Ohio, $4,000.
