Jandonment of families.

First Month Not Fair Test
City officials agreed that the first 80
days hardly offers fair test, on ac-
count OF the liquor supplies held over
and still being consumed, and the
after-effects OF the final orgies a
month ago.
Arrests for drunkenness dropped
from 507 in June to 132 for July.
Conditions in June were not normal.
but, going back to July, 1918, 398 ar
rests for drunkenness are found on
municipal court tabs. Harry l..
Moore, municipal court clerk, said
that already there is a decrease ap-
parent i'll arrests for non-support,
disorderly conduct and assault and
battery, but he does not expect the
full benefit of the change to show
until January.
No Deaths From Alcoholism
There were 10 deaths from alco-
holism at the city hospital this year,
prior to July /. Since that date there
has not been a death from alcoholism
at the hospital.
During June so accident cases we're
brought to the city hospital which
were traccable to liquor, according to
DIR. Harry L. Britton, superintendent.
This month there have been only six
such cases.
Dr. Britton reports that since July
he has not received a single case of
delirium tremens, and the cases COM
ing in for treatment OF alcoholism
have been very few, all Stomach
cases" where the digestive organs
have been deranged by overindul-
gence.
Relief of Poor Reduced
Expenses for relief of the poor
have decreased materially, said Rich
ard bakersfield, city superintendent
Of poor relief. Total expenses of his
department for the month were ST.
1876, compared with $l,854.l8 for
July, 1918 complaints and relief
due to nonsupport of families are
showing a decrease" said Mr.. Tat
tersheld, "as compared with June and
with July of last year
Total arrests chronicled by the mu-
nicipal court showed decrease COM
pared with June, but not as COM
pared with last year. Arrests have
been heavier for some time than last
year, attributed by J. F. Walker, su-
perntcndent of police, to the natura
growth of the city and greater eff
ficiency of the police department
There we're many arrests at the be-
ginning of the month, due to the final
June jubilee.
Arrest Records Compared
Comparative figures on arrests
from the municipal court records are
as follows:

Barred Heavy Drinkers

Under conditions as they existed
before Prohibition went into effect.
1t was the practice OF most of the life
insurance companies not to issue pol
icies to men who were regular and
habitual drinkers. These men were
not considered good life insurance
risks. However, life insurance was is
sued in many cases to men who were
moderate drinkers, and these men in
many cases became heavy drinkers.
THE effect was that the total NOR
tality experienced was greater as
result of insurance being issued on
the lives OF men who used intoxicat-
ing liquors in any degree whatever,
and in some cases, Of course. it was
possible that the men who were
heavy drinkers were able to secure
insurance on account OF incomplete
information available to the compa-
nles.

Prohibition to Aid
Business, Asserts
Insurance Head
George Kuhns Sees Longer Lives
And More Money Through
The Dry Law

The effect of Prohibition on the
life insurance business will be entirely
beneficial and will result in more life
insurance protection" says George
kuhns, president of the Bankers
Life Company of Des Moines and one
of the best known life insurance men
of the country.
Mortality statistics covering a
long period of years have demon
strated that the mortality is much
heavier among men who have been
habitual users of Intoxicating liquor
than men who have been occasional
drinkers or total abstainers. 1t has
also been proved by statistics that
the hard drinkers who have reformed
as result of cures or otherwise have
always had a high mortality rate. The
result OF National Prohibition will be
to remove entirely this class of life
insurance risks and to lengthen the
average life of the citizens of this
country.

THOMPSON TOWN TOPICS

The village on the national holiday
seemed almost depopulated, so many
people being away for the day taking
in the celebration at Webster and
other nearby places, this being quite
as noticeable in the evening.
The usual fun for the boys which
is always looked for was in evidence
on the morning of Fourth of July,
when few piazza chairs and table
appeared on the hay scales, and the
''for sale" sign on the Geo Vaughan
property had been removed to the res
idence of Sheriff Bates Such doings,
although harmless, are more or less
provoking.
Mrs. William Knight and son Au-
gustus, relatives of the late Miss
Martha Knight, arrived from Mon
tana on Friday being present at the
burial in West Thompson of Miss
Martha knight on Saturday evening,
which had been deferred awaiting the
coming of Mr. Knight, a nephew and
the nearest relative of the deceased
The Rev. Mr.. Bushnell conducted the
burial service at the grave
Fourth of July week was filled with
events that are worthy of mention
among them the lawn party and play
by the little misses on the beautiful
and attractive lawn of Mr. and Mrs
Frank A. Decker, their daughter
Faith being foremost in arranging the
affair, which consisted principally OF
producing two plays arranged espe-
aiallx fAt. fallrs AIthA,,rrh +l,s
attendance consisted mostly of the
older class of residents of the village
a goodly number of young people was
present.
One of the pleasant Fourth of July
gatherings in this town was that at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs Dalbert
Mackenzie, where a family reunion
was held. A dinner was served out
of doors under the trees, and gener-
al good time was enjoyed by all pres
ent. The gathering included Mrs
MacKenzie's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. c.
L. Adams, and her two sisters, Misses
Louise and Alice Adams, of Putnam
