Tho Japanese are a hero-worshiping people who treasure their own past. American history has none of the pic turesque atmosphere that adorns feud al Japan, still an actuality In the lives of many of the grandfathers of young people now In school. Through their tales, history Is fresh. No alchemy compounded of modern disillusions can convince the young Japanese that tho glamor of the past Is not nil gold. The rich brocades and gorgeous attire of the feudal lords of tho Tokugawa davs, the beautiful elaboration of tem ple and palace, the exquisite art and craft productions, the ritual of elegant ceremony attached to court life, the onclent Ideal of Bushtdo, or knightly conduct, everywhere encountered In allusions to heroic and loyal deeds,' all lend their vibrancy to old Japan.

"Dry Rockford, HI, has the reputa tion of buying and consuming more groceries than any other city of like population in the United States," says Frank S. Ilegan.'"Vhen we quit drink ing we all went to eating. "Stores that used to rent for $50 per month now rent In best locations for 1200 to f300 per mouth. "Twenty thousand people came to Rockford before the army camp came here and they came from all over the country. The fact Rockford wus dry wus very often stuted as the reason they came. Wet cities In this part of the state saw the handwriting on the wall and went dry themselves. The Nelson hotel which hud a bar and was ' Bore because some $1(5,000 revenue was cut off when we voted prohibition, In stead of going 'busted went 'full' of guests, saw several new hotels go up In Rockford uod Is now building a fire proof addition to double Its capacity. Plans are being drawn for other and better hotels than ull of them. Grocery stores had thousands of dollars on their books as bud debts and dead-beat accounts galore when we had saloons. Now they are selling for cash Instead v. of credit and one grocery collected $11,- 000 worth of dead-beat accounts out of a total of $13,000 without the assist ance of an attorney. Money rolled Into the banks until they built a nice new bank building to bouse a brand-new national bank, and so It goes. "Saloonkeepers have all settled down In other lines of business and are pros pering In their new fields or are llvinir off the lncreuse of real estate values and rents.

It Is difficult to find a beer drinker forty years of age with n normal liver, kidneys or heart. These vital organs, from the excessive burden that Is thrown upon them, wear out prema turely. Tho beer drinker may hove nn abundance of flesh, but It Is of In ferior quality. Surgeons do not care to operate upon him, ' because the chances of recovery are minimized. "Should the beer drinker be strick en down .with pneumonia or eotiio other febrile disease that taxes tho heart and kidneys, he would have but three chances out of ten to make a recovery. Pr. D. II.
