ISLE OF MARKEN FLOODED
GERMAN WINTER HELMETS
FROM A BUSINESS STANDPOINT.
(Ily ItKV. JUKKJ'H IIKNUV CltOOKER.)
Let us Bee how tbo liquor trade
work out aa a bualnesg proposition io
a small village of 3,000 people (count
lug tbe tributary country folk), with
four huloons. Am the average per cap
lta expenditure for drink In tbe United
States Is over twenty dollars a year,
on that basis this village would spent
$60,000 annually for liquor. Hut, to btt
conservative, we will cut this In two
and make It $30,000. Tbat sum, very
large for so small a community, we
may set down as tbe charge against
tbe saloons. The business gains from
them are practically as follows: Kor
licences, $1,000 ($250 being the aver
age village fee); for rent (the keepon
living above their bar-rooms), $2,500;
for household expenses of four fami
lies, $4,000 (a very high estimate);
making $7,500 the amount ef money
which the business spends in the towa
a very liberal calculation. That la.
for every four dollars paid over the
bar, only one comes back to the nnan-
clal interests of the community. An
outgo of four dollars and Income of
one dollar. Surely, not much profit In
that!
Or to put the matter In another war:
'or every four dollars that goes Into
any one of thoso saloons, three dollars
never comes out again to do business In
that town; the grocer on one aide loses
a dollar's trade, the market on the oth
er side, loses a dollar's trade, and the
merchant across the street also loses
a dollar's trade for every hour through
out the year!

GROWTH OF BEACH RESORT.
According to the last census. Long
Deach, Cal., Is the fastest growing city
In the United States. In 1902 the
population was approximately 2,000;
In 1910 it was nearly 20,000 a C85
per cent Increase. Today Its popula
tion Is reckoned at 45,000. Long
Ilcach Is ono of the youngest tourist
resorts In southern California and has
been "dry" many years. "Other coast
cities are as favorably located aa to
climate, environment, and proximity
to Los Angeles," says Mayor Wheal
ton, "and Long Erich Is larger than
any of them, Its banks and bank clear
ings and assessed valuation of prop
erty far surpassing them." The prohi
bition of the liquor traffic, he declares,
has contributed more than anything
else to this phenomenal growth and
prosperity, 60 per cent of the popula
tion coming there, he believes, be
cause it is a saloonless town.

PUBLIC SENTIMENT MAKERS.
Two visitors In Milwaukee, In at-
tndunce at a home missionary con
vention, went on a tour of inspection
of the SchliU brewing company's
plant, relates the Union Signal. In
tho course of their tour, one of them
casually Inquired of the mnn who was
escorting them, "Has the work tho
women (meaning the W. C. T. U.)
have been doing at all affected your
business?" For answer the man
pointed out of tho window to a group
of vacant buildings. "Seo them not a

OPPOSITION TO LIQUOR TRAFFIC.
This from a Pennsylvania hotel
keeper, who for four years was secre
tary of tho Philadelphia Liquor Deal
ers' association and should know
whereof he speaks:
"Liquor men who say that all this
agitation Is being created by temper
ance canks are not awake. The oppo
sition comes from many men who have
liquors In their cellars; It comes from
tho big corporations who are making
this fight on economic grounds; It
comes from big merchants they them
selves may drink and many of them
do, but they don't want their em
ployees to drink."
SUGGESTION FOR PHYSICIANS.
A New York physician prints on the
back of his prescriptions this warning:
"Alcoholism Is one of the most opm-
mon causes of Insanity, epilepsy pap
alysis, diseases of the liver and stom
ach, dropsy and tuberculosis. A fa
ther or mother who drinks, po'sons the
children born to them bo that many die
in Infancy while others grow up as
Idiots and epileptics.
"It Is claimed by some that alcohol
Is fond. If so. It Is a poisoned food.
Tho dally regular use of alcohol even
In moderation often loads to chronic
alcoholism."

NOURISHMENT IN BEER.
It Is now possible to demonstrate
with mathematical certainty that, so
far as enriching the blood Is con
cerned, the flour that will lie on the
point of a knife affords more nourish
ment than four measures of the best
Tlavarlan beer; and that anybody who
drinks a measure of beer dally would
thus Imbibe In one year about as
much nourishment as Is contained In
a pound or Dread. iisron jusius von

THINK ABOUT IT.
Tn a certain town In Massachusetts
a brewery was remodeled Into a shoe
factory. The brewery paid wages ag-
rrrogatlng annually $0,240. The shoe
factory Is paying wages aggregating
per year $65,000. Which Is bettor for
business and for the Individual? How
many families suffered because the
bread winners were "thrown out of
employment?"
