THAT LOSS OF REVENUE.

Continually we hear the liquor in
terests predicting great loss Of rev
enue to the government as result OF
prohibition. Dr. Harvey w. Wiley,
former head of the federal health bu-
reau, answers them by saying:
Better it would be to raise the
money by a tax on patent nostrums
and stock gambling than to get it
from the wholesale wrecking of lives,
careers, and families. The amount OF
revenue collected by a nation does not
measure its efficiency; but the amount
of revenue collected from fermented
and distilled spirits does measure the
inefficiency of the nation"
Frank A. Vanderlip, former comp
troller of the currency, later presi-
dent of the largest bank in America,
now serving without pay as chairman
of the War Savings committee of the
United States treasury, is also on the
side of prohibition:
'sThe plea that government revenue
will be seriously curtailed by nation
wide prohibition should not influence
action, for prohibition will induce a
national efficiency which will open
new and far richer sources Of rev.
enue."

An open shed will preserve ice, or

inner cover Of sawdust to keep out

1t is quite possible to put cube Of

satisfactory way until wanted during
the summer months. The roof must
be tight because water dropping often
in the same spot will bore. hole

DETROIT UNDER PROHIBITION.


Detroit, the biggest dry city in the
United States, is more prosperous than
ever before" asserts Zach Farmer in a
paper issued by the Detroit Real Els
tate board. "This is the consensus Of
authoritative opinion, deduced from an
analysis Of general conditions existing
at the present time as compared to
the pre-dry period. From all outward
appearances a casual observer would
never suspect that the Motor City had
once been one of the most fOurishing
hangouts of old demon Booze Brief
~, the present situation is as follows:
Seldom does one hear a conversation
In which the absence of liquor is la
mented. Many of the former saloons
have been converted into soft drink
emporiums and restaurants. Most Of
the vacancies created by suspension
of the liquor business have been reoc-
cupied and realtors, almost without
exception, state that the real estate
situation has not been impaired. To
the contrary, in many instances, prop
erty values have been strengthened
through the exit Of illegitimate and
the entrance of legitimate business in
some sections of the city. The old
rule of fear that the elimination of a
saloon in a business block would mean
a loss Of business on both sides, has
been dissipated."

THE PASSING or THE WASHER
WOMAN.


Vote dry and you lose your washer
women. say the householders of In
dianapolis to the householders of wet
states. A sad state of affairs prevails
on wash day in the metropolis of the
Hoosier state and prohibition is re-
sponsible. Under the old order Of aft
fairs whole family washings were done
by the inmates of the wOman's prison.
Since John Barleycorn made his exit
from the state, the number of women
incarcerated has fallen of to such an
extent that this work can no longer be
handled. Since April 1, the day of
the emancipation of Indiana from the
saloons, the new arrivals at the wom-
ans prison have been cut down to one
third the former number; the third
floor of the prison has been closed and
one of the kitchens is no longer need
ed. Strange as it may seem, the resi-
dent Of Indianapolis, notwithstanding
the Inconvenience named, is more than
lreconciled to conditions which enable
women to work in their own homes or
engage in self-respecting labor else
where.
