PICTURE BRIDES DECREASE
(By Associated Press,

HONOLULU, T. H., Aug. 24.-One
hundred and sixty-nine fewer "picture
brides" came to Hawaii from Japan
during the fiscal year ending June
go than during the previous fiscal
year, according to figures of the
United States immigration office
here. The total for 1920 was $40
against 1,017 for 1918-19.
Inspector R. L. Halsey has attrib-
uted the decrease to a strike on the
sugar plantations here which lasted
six months from January 10, and to
the fact that many japanese who did
not strike made big wages on account
of the high price of sugar. This en-
abled them to go to Japan for their
brides instead of sending for them
by the picture system.
Japan's undertaking to stop the
coming if picture brides to the main
land of the United States does not
apply to Hawaii.

The county is substantially COM

of Intoxicating liquor. Occasionally
a case of INVESTIGATION has occurred
from INDUCING in the use of barber
supplies, extracts and jamaica ginger,
but in the main INVESTIGATION has been
reduced apparently to the very mini
mum, to the extent that it is a very
rare occasion indeed when an intoXi-

PRACTICAL TESTIMONY
Men Who Know Condemn Beer
tThe Pioneer)

Mr. T. B. Macauley, president OF
the sun Life Assurance Company,
Canada's largest insurance company,
states a practical business truth when
he says:
Beer drinkers do not have merely
a Fundamentally than total -abttain-
ers, but heavier mortality than
strictly moderate spirit drinkers.
This is we'll realized in life assur-
ance.'
Look at the typical beer dHnker.
He is usually large and fat, but is
this fat sign of health? 1t is not
strength, but non-eliminated waste.
These men succumb to any infection
which seizes them, and if they escape
infection they die from some degen-
erative disease In the moderate beer
drinkers, these symptoms are not SO
pronounced, but it is a difference OF
degree.
Prof. DAILY, in Munsey's. says:
Lifelong drinking OF mild beer has
been one of the most potent causes
for the amazing brutalities of official
Germany. These crimes have been
ordered by men who for decades
have been poisoned by beer
Dr. T. d. Crothers, one of the
greatest experts in the world, says:
In reality, the beer drinker takes
into his stomach compounds OF fer
mented matter which actually pro-
duce a species OF intoxication. This
is confirmed by the slowly diminished
mental and physical activity, the SEN
sorry dullness of beer drinkers

SAME IN ENGLAND
Vets are Strenuously Opposing Civ.
ing Suffrage to Women

In England, as in this country, the
chief opposition to equal suffrage was
found in the liquor camp. Here is 4
quotation from statement made by a
of the British Parliament:
There is no doubt that the ma
jority of the "Pussyfooters' in
England were to be found among
women and could it be imagined
what would happen where women
who were in the majority in voting
power were insisting upon Pro-
hibiton while the male population
were not prepared>to tolerate such
a thing being imposed upon them
against their will.
The drys in England arc calico
"Pussyfooters," which is really com.
pliment to Mr.. W. L. Johnson Il
seems that the English women, like
their American cousins, are antagon
istic to the liquor traffic, and the wet:
oppose suffrage for that reason.
There is something wrong with tht
traffic which fears the votes of wiye:
and mothers.

The Jail board in the city of Balti-

as compared with the year 1913.
Six thousand five hundred ffty-fve
of the o,273 commitments last year
were made during the first six months,
or before wartime Prohibition went
into effect. B. J. Lee, warden OF the
Jail, in his report to the board, said:
A review of our statistics and
a careful study of the conditions
of the outside world convinces
me of the fact that the conditions
at the pail for the year were due
in a large measure to the war
time Prohibition act which went
into effect July /, 1919.

keepers were willing to limit them
selves to that per cent, They sold all
sorts of stuff and then boosted that
Prohibition was a failure.
The good people of Georgia refused
to be fooled. A special session of the
Legislature was called within few
years and drastic law enacted pro-

per cent whatsoever of alcohol That
law is in force today and Georgia
likes it. The appeal for beer and light
wines finds little response in that
state.
