Eames, says the Literary Digest The reason for the discrepancy seems to be that women have a smaller propor tion of active tissues than men of the same weight and more Inactive material, such as fat. The Investiga tion disclosed that the average wom an generates only 1,355 heat units in the 24 hours, as against 1,638 pro duced by the man, or about two per cent more for the latter per pound of body weight.

In summing up a complete refuta tion of the statements sent out by tbt National Wholesale Liquor Dealers as sociation In an article on ' Facts About Prohibition In Kansas," Governor Ar thur Capper says: Let us call the witnesses and see what tbey think of prohibition In Kansas. If anyone should know, they should know, for they live with It and under It' The governor of Kansas says pro hibition Is a great success. Every state ofllclal who has apokea out says prohibition succeeds. More than 700 editors and newspa per men of Kansas in state conven tion, unanimously endorsed prohibi tion. Every political party In Kansas fa vors the prohibition law. No minister has ever opened hi mouth in favor of return of license; neither has any schoolteacher. The president of Kansas Retailor says prohibition pays. The president cf the State Bankers' association believes that prohibition is a tremendous asset to Kansas. One hundred and sixty-six banker have filed their testimony In favor of the law with the Temperance society of the Methodist Episcopal church, and only six could be found In all the state who doubted the wisdom of this legislation. The president of the Kansas Medi cal society believes In prohibition. The president of the Commercial clubs of Kansas has Bald that prohibi tion has added real value to every acre of Kansas land. The supreme court has testified in the following strong language to tho benefits of the prohibition law: "The prohibitory law is well en forced throughout the state. It Is as generally well enforced as any other criminal law. The enforcement of tho law distinctly promotes social welfare and reduces to a minimum economic waste consequent upon the liquor traf flce and allied evils. The saloonkeeper and his comrades have been excluded from effective participation in the poll tics of the state." And to completely settle the ques tion for all time the legislature of Kansas, not by a majority, but unan imously passed at its last session a concurrent resolution affirming in no uncertain language Its belief in the ad vantage of prohibition. FOR WHAT OTHER PURPOSET "The moving picture show has be come - powerful factor In arousing the prejudice of thoughtless and weak minded people against the liquor in terests, and particularly against the saloon," says the Liberal Advocate, a liquor dealers' organ. "In virtually every blood and thun der and crime film produced there is sure to be a scene depicting a bunch of lowbrows plotting some villainy from burglary to murder while lick ing up liberal libations of liquor to give them the proper amount of cour age to accomplish their deed. "Each day thousands of these films are portrayed to millions of men. women and children In every part of the country, and those who know no better, and many who ought to know better, soon becoome Imbued with the belief that liquor is only manufactured aud saloons established for the pur pose of increasing lawlessness and crime." PAYS NOTHING BACK. This from Billy Sunday: "The saloon comes as near being a rat hole for a wage earner to dump his wages in as anything you can find. The only interest It pays is red eyes and foul breath and the loss of health. You go In with money and you come out with empty pockets. You go In with character and you come out ru ined. You go in with a good position and you lose It You lose your posi tion In the bank, or in the cab of the locomotive. And the saloon pays noth ing back but disease and damnation and gives an extra dividend In delir ium tremens and a free pass to per dition. And then it will let your wife be burled In the potter's field, and your children go to the asylum, and yet you walk out and say that the saloon Is a good Institution, when it Is the dirtiest thing on earth. It hasn't one leg to stand on and has nothing to commend It to a decent man, not one thing." BILL BOARDS IN LINE. By its action in refusing to accept further advertising contracts for whis ky or distilled and spirituous liquors, the members of the Poster Advertis ing association place themselves In line with the 520 daily newspapers and scored of, magazines in the United States whose columns are closed to all liquor advertising.
