X- : ■ ■ • ■,• Vacation and Efficiency. It is the change really more than th« rest that is of so much value in a vaca tion. Besides the absorption of the fatigue products, there is an opportuni ty given those functions which have remained inactive and sluggish, and even atrophic, to exercise and develop. It is a restoration of balance. For con fined and sedentary workers even hard and coarse country work is restful and invigorating. For indoor workers this sort of a vacation means a new lease en life. Very often a border line case of tuberculosis is maintained a little longer above the line by a proper vaca tion. The increased tendency to arterio sclerosis and other degenerative condi tions, as well as premature senility, nearly all the result of high pressure and efficiency, can be much neutralized by periodic vacations, a vacation free from the grind, of course, but also from the worry Incident thereto. The vacation is a therapeutic measure come to stay.— -New York Medical Journal. ■ffeot of Wind Upon Sound. One of the government scientists gives an Interesting explanation of the action of the wind in preventing the ipread of sound, v \ -It Is, hf.cl^ims^nfitt^ffjyaiAfl^ailCh. that prevents sou ml from traveling against it, but differences in the strength of the wind. If, for instance, the wind is stronger above than below or stronger at one side its effect will be to tilt the sound waves in one direc tion or another. Differences of temper ature in the air also cause deflection of the waves of sound. Other atmos pheric causes exist which deflect sound from a straight course. Some of the sirens in this country, says this scien tist, produce sounds which ought theo retically to be audible at a distance of 1,600 miles; but, in fact, the authori ties are satisfied if they are heard only two miles away. The reason for the discrepancy between calculation and experiment was probably atmospheric deflection of the sound. Too Sore to Bhake.

At a meeting of the Philadelphia Lager Beer Brewers Association held this afternoon the recent newspaper statement that six hundred million bushels of grain were consumed annually by the Liquor Industry was discussed and the figures denounced as be ing grossly exaggerated and without foundation of fact. The % Association went on record as saying that the consumption of grain last year by the Brewing Industry of the entire nation was 48 million bushels of barley, 17 million bushels of corn and 2 million bushels of rice which represents about 1 per cent of the grains produced in the Unit - ' ed States and of this amount fully one half goes back to the farmer for cattle-food in the form of "spent grains" (wet grains) or the dried product of these grains.

Even the Republicans want Germany to go Democratic. I PROCLAMATION! I J i "Facts Versus Fallacies" £ $ Advertising Will Cease 3 $ Until After The War! $ 4 In these times when the country wants every m&n to do his share, each one of us must shoulder some burden—and do it gladly. On the shoulders of the W J Brewery interests of the country will fall added taxations. The PENNSYL* J 4 VANIA STATE BREWERS' ASSOCIATION feel it their duty, no less than * X their privilege, to aid their country in the proper carrying on of the war. W J For some years the advertisements known as Tacts versus Fallacies have been 6 carried in the leading newspapers of Pennsylvania, not as liquor advertisements, 0 T but as a plea for Temperance. Not once, in these years, bas any one successfully T refuted one Fact a& exploited in these advertisements. They were sane, logical, m temperate essays on the Fallacy of Prohibition -that prohibition never did pro- hibit, and never would—and stood for the Fact that Regulation and Temperance T were the real solution of the liquor question! J v In discontinuing the Facts versus Fallacies campaign until after the war, so that the money that would have been expended in advertising can serve this country in a bigger and broader field, we help to prove to the President of the United States and to our fellow citizens, that this country has no more loyal w supporters than the J t Pennsylvania State Brewers' Association $ «I» «|» « • f f 4P « » 4 « » <J» « » «»• « » «» e • «» « • «» « • e » - «e - «I» m w .
