Barnato'c Dilemma.
"Harney" Iiarnato was n member of
the C'mpc Town assembly and wns de
lighted In scandalizing t ho members of
pnrllament. During a debate on the
Cape liquor law, which prohibited the
sale of Intoxicating drinks on Sunday
except as nn accompaniment of a sub
stantial meal, he said :
"A few Sundays ago I walked some
distance from Cape Town, and being
busily engaged In mentally reviewing
the course of business In the honorable
house I went further than I had In
tended. I retraced my steps, and be
ing hot and thirsty went Into n most
respectable hotel for refreshment. I
wanted to quench my thirst, but according-
to law n drink could only be
supplied as nn accompaniment to a
bona fide meal. Mine host set beforo
me n bottle of beer ond a leg of roast
pork, lie had no other eatables. What
was I to do? If I ate the pork I brokj
the law of Muses. If I drank the beer
without eating I broke the law of tho
land. ISetween the chief rabbi nnd the
chief Justice I stood In a very awk
ward position."
Then the lee Formed.

Military railroads have the light of way on the western front, so a
ruined house was not allowed to block this line. The engineers pierced both
walls of the house and arched them over, and now the ears tilled with troops
run right through the house on the way to the front lines.
EXAMINING A CAPTURED GERMAN SOLDIER
Talismans and Amulets.
The truth Is that deep down In the
complex nature of most of us there Is
a certain regard for the occult, of
which, however, our higher Intelligence
may disprove, we find It difficult to rid
ourselves entirely,
While the word mascot has long
been common In Provence and Gas
cony to denote something which
brings good fortune to a person or
household, It Is only within the last
30 years or so that It has pnssed Into
common use In Iliitnlti. It owed Its
Introduction largely to ICdmund Au
drnn's well-known comic opera "Ln
Muscntte."
I'.ut only the word Is modern. The
use of talismans, nmulets and charms,
whlcli were really prototypes of tho
mascot, goes hack to a very remote
nge. The ancient. Egypt Inns woro
nmulets fashioned In the shape of
gods, men, animals, and Insects. The
stones In the shape of beetles often
found In Egyptian tombs gave cpur
age to the wearer. Figures of frogs
were nlso held In particularly high repute.

MANY DRINKERS FOR PR0HIBI.
TI0N.
As on example of liquor-users who
acknowledge the evils of drinking end
re helping to vote out the traffic Is
the millionaire packer, Patrick Cud
uhy. He Is, doing fine antlllquor eda
catlonal work In his packing plant at
Cudahy, Wis. In an open letter pub
lished In the Milwaukee Times he thus
describes some of tho effects of a
world-wide prohibition as be sees
Uiem :
"If some all-powerful person wero
to appear at the present time on earth
nnd perform a miracle, changing all
tle 1)007.0 In tao world back to water,
and Issuing a decree that any person
who attempted to mnke another drop
f It would bo struck Ueud by an elec
tric bolt from heaven, Just Imoglno If
you can tho chonga that would take
place In tho world, snjr ninety days
nfter this event. See the red noses
changing to white; tho fat beer bloats
shrinking to their natural size; tho
man whom alcohol niudo a bruto of,
returning to his normnl condition; his
wife, whose life this alcohol brute sad
dened and almost destroyed, returning
to her normal condition; the wrinkles
nnd tear furrows In her faco being
smoothed out; the color coming back
to her cheeks; her ryes becoming
bright again; her saddened and
wretched ace becoming Joyful and
happy.
"In short, tho homo that alcohol
made wretched Is now Joyful and
happy.
"We also see tho saloons changed ,
Into places of usefulness somo of
them tco cream and sodu water par
lors. A great ninny of thera are used
for bonk stores, for the men who spent
their time ln saloons are now reading
books.
"The saloonkeepers themselves have
gone back to their trades and are now
lseful citizens. And by doing away
with alcohol we do not need nearly
so many policemen. About seventy
per cent of the policemen have been
discharged and are engaged In other
employment In tho shops, nnd on tho
farms, changed from Idle men to use
ful producers. The prisons, such as
our house of correction, are changed
from prison to recreation halls. Tho
grounds about them nro converted
into benutlful parks. People aro now
saving the money formerly spent for
booze. Savings banks nro springing up
all over the country. In short, tho
drunkards nnd crlminnls of the world,
mnde so by alcohol, of nil classes, nro
now Industrious people nnd living
happy lives. What a glorious change.
If this could be brought about, nnd
It may be partially brought about somo
time by prohibition."
Mr. Cudrhy confesses be drinks both
beer nnd whisky, yet seeing tho evils
of lntemprnnce ho uses his Influence
against tli saloons ln his own town.
A friend oMils, Mr. J. P. Iienscher, In
a letter published by the same paper,
says :
"I am nit a prohibitionist. I drink
beer, although I have never touched
whisky, btit I have seen the misery
which It has created, nnd I shall do
everything within my power to wipe
out tho thirty-eight bum factories
which we now have In Cudahy."
Many thinking men, rich and poor,
are taking the same attitude.
EVEN BREWERS HATE THE SA
LOON "No one understands the saloon bet
ter than those engaged In the business.
They live as far from It as their
means will allow; they know that no
saloon can llvo except as It draws
money to the bar that Is needed by
wives and children 'round about. They
know that the saloons In the city can
be traced by the raising death rate
among little children that dlo from
neglect because the money to which
they are entitled Is squandered at a
neighboring bar. They know, too, that
when tho alcoholic habit Is once fast
ened on n man or a, woman, It travels
In tho blood nnd that little children
have the door ot hope shut on them be
foro their eyes havo opened to tho
light of the day.
NINETY PER CENT DROP IN
DRUNKENNESS.
Drunkenness lh Ogden. Utah, during
flvo months of prohibition decreased -approximately
00 per cent. During
the first seven months of 1017 thero
were 010 arrests for drunkenness as
against (12 slnco August 1, 1017, ac
cording to the report of the police de
partment. The Salt Lake City News
records the fact that more of the stock
men than ever beforo brought their
wives and daughters or other members
of tho family with them to the conven
tion held In that city this year, and tho
dryness of the state Is said to bo tho
reason.
WE'RE WORKING FOR JUST THAT.
This is our Ideal a land where you
meet no drunkard staggering on the
rond towards his doom, a land where
you have no slums for humanity to
rot In, a land where you have two
thirds of Its prison cells empty, a
land with Its workhouses vanished, a
land with Its children well fed, well
clothed, well sheltered, well trained,
with their merry laughter ringing
through the 6trccts, a land where the
curso of drink shall be driven from all
hearts. Right Hon. David Lloyd
George.
THE RISING TIDE.
Lost veor. Wavno H. Wheeler tells
us, a church wos built In the United
States about every thrco hours, and
saloon closed or given notice to
leave by the adoption of prohibitory
laws about every 30 minutes. Any
business man con see which way the
tide Is going. The whole nation will
bo In dry dork In the near future.
BEWARE OP BEER!
Deer means bod blood, beer fat, beer
