FROM BELGIAN CHILDREN TO MR. WILSON
(Condunti-d by the Nallonnl Woman't
Clirlbiiun Tempcrauca Union.)
PROHIBITION AND PROSPERITY.
Tho city of Wheeling, W. Va., has,
under the first year of state prohibi
tion, experiencetf tho greatest building
boom In its history. Other demonstra
tions of the tsiamese-twlnslike nature
of prohibition and prosperity are Indi
cated In the following Items (many
more might bo cited) :
The Reymann brewery was convert
ed into a packing plant, employing 225
men where the brewery employed 75.
White Front cafe rented for $250 a
month. Now as a confectionery It
rents for $300.
The Senate saloon ws torn down
and on its site a bank Is being built
WitWu a distance of two blocks
buildings (some cf them three-story
structures), formerly occupied by
liquor firms, now bouse a ladies' and
men's furnishings firm, a wall paper
store, a drug store, a butcher shop, a
shoe store, a confectionery a billiard
room and an automobile agency.
There are more restaurants and be
tels In the city than ever before.
The business of one shoe merchant
Increased 35 per cent during the year.
Number of meals served In the
workhouse the last 11 wet months
were 41,832. Nuuber of meals served
the first 11 dry months, 10.018. Sav
Ing to the city at ten cents per meal,
$2,382.
Number of workhouse employees
last wet year, 15. Number of work
house employees the first dry month,
two. This alone cut workhouse ex
penses $780 a month.
FIGHT MODERATE DRINKING.
From an economic viewpoint the
drunkard Is nonexistent. Whut "big
business" Is fighting today is "mod
erate drinking" the ounce-and-a-half-a-day
kind of thing. With the excep
tion of those connected with the trade
In alcoholic drinks and their hangers
on the entire world of business and
Industry Is lined up against alcohol,
and the battle (since drunkenness Is
self-confessed dofent) is being waged
against moderate drinking. It is with
the man who can "drink and be sober,
thank heaven!" that Industry Is pick
ing a quarrel. The physiologist baa
shown that he Is morally defective
poisoned atop; the modico-actuarial
man has shown that he Is physically
depleted, warped, defective and throws
nway from ton to thirteen years of
his Imperfect life; and "big business"
has learned that economically be Is
so bad an Investment that only In
rare cases Is It worth while to bother
with tinkering and repairing him.

Stook of Castor Oil Bean Is Getting
Low, and Importers' Supply
Is Cut Off.
Those youthful days of trouble,
"when a feller Leeds a friend," are
tbom to be ameliorated In one vital
Instance. The castor bean Is getting
scarce. '
Castor oil Is made from the castor
bean, which has Its main habitat
somewhere In the purlieus of Horn bay
Yates & Co.,. who have agreed to sup
ply the municipal departments with
pure castor oil during the present
fiscal year at $1.14 a gallon, notified
the board or supervisors of their In
ability to (III requisitions and asked

DECREASE IN CRIME.
"Five months undor prohibition law
have now elapsed and tho results are
beginning to be very apparent," says
the deputy sheriff of Jefferson coun
ty, Alabama. "The decrease In crime
in Jefferson county Is clearly Indicat
ed by the Jail records, which show a
total number of state prisoners now
In Jail of 160, against 336 December
1, 1914, one year ago today, and this
In the face of the fact that no 'straw
bonds' are being taken, and that ev
ery caro is taken to ascertain the ab
solute sufficiency of every bond ap
proved." The state pays thirty cents a day
for feeding each prisoner In the Jbf
forson county Jail, therefore this de
crease of 176 Inmates means a saving
of $52.80 per day, of $1,684 per month,
and of $19,008 per year.
Presldcn.',' Wilson has Just received a token of the gratitude ot tliu
Belgian children for the relief sent their country by Americans. It came
tn the form of a belated Christmas box delivered at the White House by
Philip Heraenway Chadbourn of New York city, member of the ftolglan
relief committee, who has Just returned from Belgium. The box contained
a variety of presents made by the children themselves They range from
completely dressed s dolls to hand-decorated sofa cushions and represent
many weeks of patient work by the youngsters. This picture of Mr. Chad
bourn and the gifts was taken In the cabinet room of the White House.

PROHIBITION AND PROSPERITY.
State Senator Peterson ot Minne
sota, speaking of the men thrown out
of employment In Moorhead by the
closing of Its saloons, says:
"The election put out ot the liquor
trade probably three hundred men, In
cluding the employers. Those who
were wedded to the business of course
had to seek employment elsewhere,
but many of them elected to stay and
go Into other lines of work. And for
such there has been abundance ot
work at a good wage. There has been
no man in Moorhead able and willing
to work who could not get employ
ment. "The banks have not suffered. The
savings accounts have increased In
number and amount and one ot the
banks Is increasing Its capital from
$25,000 to $60,000."

WAR TEACHES LESSON.
The signal service the present
European conflict has rendered
against alcohol will be named in fu
ture years as a major compensation
for Its awful carnage. The war has
not taught us that alcohol is a curse,
and that traffic in it Is a treason.
This knowlcdgo the world already poa-
sessed, although It had only begun to
take action. The war has taught us
how to deal with alcohol, how to solve
the alcohol problem, how to arrive at
the final prohibition that is our goal
