Novel Mesns of Communication.
Wounded Il.itish Boldlcrs In the
hands of the Germans havo hit upon a
novel way of communicating with their
families and friends at home. They
subscribe small sums of money to the
Gorman Red Cross society, but as few
of them have any cash they till up a
draft or sign a check to be sent to
London and honored. On the back of
the draft the banker U requested to
communicate the news of the drawer's
safety to bis homo. Tommy Atkins

A New Jersey inventor has adapted
a phonograph for use with various
kinds of records, such as those In
which the groove is laterally undulat

may be brought Into oporutlve posi
tion and communication with the In

FOUND TWO BILLION D0LLAR8.
A sure way of solving the problem
of tho high cost of living Is forcefully
iudicated by Dan Poling In an appeal
to the voters of the country. "Have
you ever stopped to consider," he
says, "what two billion dollars would
do toward solving that problem?
"Do you think that It would help if
we cculd Qnd two billion dollar some
where? "We havo found two billion dollars!
Two billion dollars worse than lost!
In round numbers, the drink hill of
the United States represents an In
vestment In body, mind and soul de
struction of $91.00 for each family In
the country. When we remembpr that
there nre unnumbered families that
havo no drink bill nt nil, we begin to
form a hnzy conception of the drink
ing families of tho nation. I.lqnor
money Is generally bread monoy, meat
money, shoo money, and money that
ought to be spent for clothing. Som
Htomnrh goes hungry for broad, some
feet go poorly shod, some body goes
Inndcquntoly clothed. In order thnt tho
liipior traffic may gratify the unspenk
itblii appetite it creates for nnnrces
Fary strong drink."
DESTROY THE DESTROYER.
In Ms book, 'fan's Value to Soci
ety," Rev. Dr. Newell Dwlght Hlllla
says: "Statisticians reckon the'aver
nco man's value at $noo a year. Each
worker In wood, Iron or brans stands
for an engine or Industrial plant worth
$10,000, producing at 6 por cent, an
Income of $600. The death of the av
erage workman, therefore, la equiva
lent to the destruction of a $10,000
mill or engine. The economic loss
through tho non-productlvlty of 20.00f
drunkards Is equal to ono Chicago fire,
Involving $200,000,000."
This does not tako Into account the
cost of tho crimo and panperlsm
which 20,000 drunkards entail upon
the public, nor the degeneracy of
drunkards' offspring which adds enor
mously to the economic loss through
nonproductivlty and direct criminal
ity, lly the license system this nation
Is deliberately destroying each year
its chief assets. The tyiuor traffic
must go!
OUT OF A JOB.
The cry is aomet line's made that If
saloons are voted out saloonkeepers
will lose their Jobs and their families
will suffer. Did It ever occur to yon.
pertinently aBks an exchango, that if
the saloons are not voted out, hun
dreds of tho patrons of tho saloons
will lose their Jobs and their families
will suffer?
When a saloonkeeper puts a man
out of a Job, he disgraces the man
and his family, and unfits him for an
other Job. When prohibition puta
a saloonkeeper out of a Job, ho be
comes a more honorable citizen, hlr4
family becomes more honorable and
the community secures a wcalih-pro-ducing
workman Instead of a wealth
destroying workman.
AUTHORITATIVE TESTIMONY.
West Virginia's secretary of state
testifies to the success of prohibition
In that state. In a public address he
said:
"The manufacturers aud mine own
ers, who opposed prohibition so bitter
ly during the campaign, are now en
thusiastically In praise of it The
leaders of organized labor and many
of the rank and filo who were likewise
strongly against prohibition now de
clare thnt it has proved a boon to the
working man. The stato lobor com
missloner after a canvass of all In
dustries says that labor nnd capital
both agree that the efficiency of the
working men has Increased at least 2."

NEW COMMANDMENT.
The voice of science speaks with
greater authority than ever heforo;
and the average man is beginning to
believe that It Is the voice of God
speaking o his children. Science,
industry, philanthropy, pntriotlnm, re
ligion and common sense are today
thundering from a hnndred Slnnis tho
divine command: "Thou shall not use
alcohol in any form, neither thou nor
thy president, nor thy army, nor thy
navy, nor thy physician, nor thy pas
tor, nt tho communion table, nor thy
teacher, nor thy railroad engineer, nor
thy chauffeur, nor nnyono who dwells
within thy borders." Rev. Henry
Staurter in Union Signal.
SELLING PASSWORD FOR DRINK.
Surgeon General Kvatt, speaking in
Iondon. not long ago, dwelt upon tho
deplornbloness of drink among wom
en, adding 'Tor a woman to drink Is
llko selling tho password in tho field
of battle." This Is a nulque and
powerful way of describing the effect
of drink, not only on women, but on
men. Alas, how mnny havo lost iu
the battle of llfo by selling the pass
word of success and happiness for
strong drink! Lillian M. N. Stevens.
INJURIOUS WORK OF BEER.
It la Just this precious beer which
lowers the intellectual capacity nnd
will power of thousands nnd thousands
of people and makes thera old before
their time; ruins stomach, liver, heart
and brain: brings them Into tho poor
house nnd prison, hospital and asylum,
and early puts thorn nnder the earth.

NOT ONE OF GOD'S GIFT8.
Thoro Is one argument I ask you
not to use, and that Is thnt one may
nso all God's gifts and that wine la
one 0 them. We might as well say
that God's gifts are consumption,
cholera, typhoid fever, as to say that
alcohol Is. Dr. Sims Woodhead, pro
fessor of pathology In the University
