Tool-Making Peoples.
Are Anglo-Saxons conceited about
their pre-eminence In matters of nn
chlnery? A book, "Kngllsh nnd Amer
ican Tool millders," by Prof. J. W.
Itoo of Yale, answers the question
thus: "rrnctlcnlly all the creative
work In tool building has been done In
K:igland and Amerlcn. . . . The
French have shown an aptitude for re
finements nnd Ingenious novelties . . .
The Swiss ore clever artisans, but
hnve excelled In personal skill . . .
Germany has developed splendid me
chanics, but the principal machine
tools hnd taken shape before 1870,
when the empire beg'in. The history
of Kngllsh nnd American tool building,
therefore, covers substantially the en-
I tire history of the art."

A3 HEALTH OFFICER3 SEE IT.
Dr. Ilnven Kmerson, health eoinml
Kloncr of New York city :
"It Is, as I conceive It, the duty of
departments of health to tench, teuch,
teach, persuade, demonstrate, exhibit,
exhort, prove thnt alcohol as a bfve
age 01 In patent medicines Is a iucb
ace to personal and community health,
Is a common source of slcknesa and
death, Is Morulas the path of preven
tive medicine mid Is a menace to the
physical and social development of tfie
nation."
Ilenlth Cominl:ilsooer Ford of Cleve
land, O.:
"Teaching the effects of alcohol It
a public health function. Titer la
nothing more Important than tUis ques
tion." Dr. J. N. ITurty, secretary JmBun
statu board of health:
"We know Unit alcoholic liquor Is
vile and evil thing. It Is a lxirrlbU
thing from an economic and sot-lul
point of view; It li always and ev
erywhere Injurious from the physical
standpoint. Every drop Is a poison.
Its use Is always Injurious, and If I
had the power I would close every
public saloon as a public Uopo shop.1
Dr. John Dill KoKrtson, bealtti
commlMjloucr of Chicago:
"In the city of Chicago, wlre the
death rate Is approximately 100 a day,
it Is wife to say that at least 23 p
cent of these deaths are caused dirert
ly or Indirectly by alcohol. AlcohoJ
produces aeute Inflammation of the
stomach, hemorrhage of the pancreas,
heart dlsoa.se, cancer of the stomach,
Rright's disease, fatty liver, hardened
liver, Inflammation of the nerves, epi
lepsy, hardening of the arteries Slid
a multitude of other affliction of the
body. Those are known medical facts.
It Is not only a causative factor la tU
diseases and afflictions mentioned, but
it Invades tho mental man and pro
duces Insanity."
The New Jersey Health Officers' as
sociation passed a resolution recom
mending that campaigns of publicity
be Inaugurated by the state and local
departments of health for the purposo
of Informing the public of the danger
attending the use of alcoholle bever
ages. The Vermont stnte board of heelt
Is planning an anti-alcohol crusa
similar to that of New York city.
Other city and state heulth boards
are also Incorporating nntl-nlcohol
work as a regular part of healU de
partment programs.
DOES IT7
"llcer promotes efficiency," says te
advertisement of a certain brewing
comttnnv. Someone replies as fol
lows :
"If yon were about to have a da-
gerous surgical operation irforwed,
would you prefer to have the surgvo
take a few glasses of beer Just tnifor
the operation, to "promote efficiency T
"If you were about to take a trip o
a railroad, would you prefer to huvo
the engineer and the telegraph opera
tors and the switchmen along the lhao
take a few beers while you were aa
your way, to "promote efficiency?
"If you are business man, do y
prefer to have your employees "rusk
the can' occasionally, to "promote effi
ciency.' "Remember, you can get Just a
drunk on beer as you can on whisky."
C0TTLES SCARCE.
A chemist In Chicago, who Is ex
perimenting with a formula for mak
ing catchup nnd other preparations la
tablet form, explained to a friend tht
this change was all "because of pro
hibition." "Second hand bottles are
used to a great extent by nmnufse
Hirers of many of these products,"
said the chemist, "and the sprend of
prohibition Is making It almost Im
possible to secure bottle for this pur
pose." NO REAL OBSTACLE.
Sumptuary legislation? Tes. Car
tallment of the citizen's personal pre
rogative? Yes. We used to halt at
this rock, too. And It Is still thora.
Rut how easy It Is to go around It
and find out what Is on the other side.
How much more Is on the other side
than on the tide which, only, we have
seen up to now. Augusta (Ga.) Chroa
Iclo (oldest newspaper In the Eoata,
which has taken it stand for national
prohibition).
PERSONAL RIGHTS CHAMPION.
Obedient to the conservation IdeaL
society steadily declines to tolerate
humanity's waste of Itself In sensual
ity. This aligns against the drinker
and the liquor maker and vender to
day persons and Institutions thtt
generation ago were also stout cham
pions of "personal right." Christian
Science Monitor.
DRINKERS NOT WANTED.
"If we could, we would keep a
man In our employ who drsnk at U.
S iber men are safer and the better
nlwnys. The totnl abstainer Is decid
edly better thnn the one who drink
even moderately." The Buckeye Roll

VIOLATES LAW.
I Champion of Fair Play J
! "There Is not a licensed saloon keep
er In the stnte who doe not lay bias
self liable to prosecution a daaea
Umes a day."
WORKS BOTH WAYS. .
llenfonl i Wine nnd Spirit Circular;
"I have heard a distiller and Im
porter say that he would fight to Ik
last ditch any attempt to eatabllsk
snloon In tho neighborhood la wbick
he resides. If the people, engaged la.
the business feel this way about It,
they cannot And fault with other of
fering the same objection."
OUTLAWS SALOONS.
Skngway, Alaska, by a vote of 1M
to 1.13, outlawed It saloon at Jna
election.
