'<Conducted by the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union.) WOT ALL BEER ADVOCATES. (From address by Misa Anna A. Gor don, president of the National W. C. T. T7., before the Benote Judiciary subcom mittee. May L) One of the speakers at the hearing jon April 25 Btated that all Germans ?re drinkers. We are sorry our Ger man friends do not know that many (hundreds of German women In thia ?country are members of the Woman's .Christian Temperance union, and in Germany we have a splendid following ?bf thousands af total abstainers, band ed together in a national society of ab staining women of Germany affiliated [With the World's Woman's Christian .Temperance union. The white-ribbon jers of Germany have for their presi dent the great-graadniece of the gal pant Gen. von Blucher, who led the allied forces with Wellington in the {famous battle of Waterloo, j We are surprised that our German ?friends did not al hid? to the most con fespicuous figure in the fatherland? Em ?peror Wilhelm, whose good advice to the navsS cadets to let alcohol alone isas everywhere been noted and oom ?nended. Evidently the kaiser believes ES we do, that the naval defenders of a great country muet be total abstain ers if they are to reach the necessary (degree of efficiency tn service. ? Tho gentleman also asserted that fv on Moltke was a drinker. We know that fae was a total abstainer. Von fcioltke said, "Beer lg far more danger ous to Germany than all the ?rcales Of France." Oar German friends Claimed that beer has great food value. Germany's famous chemist and sci entist. Liebig, many years ago de clared "There is more nourishment In ?the amount of flour that can be held on the blade of a knife than there is Sn a quart of the best Bavarian beer." I All Germans do not agree with the ^leaker that beer Should not be assed with aicohollo liquors. It is 0ust this precious beer," writes Dr. Bdax Gruber. president of the Royal institute of Hygiene ai Munich, rwhich lowers the intellectual capacity and willpower of thousands and thou sands of people and makes them old before their time, ruins stomach, Uver, peart and brain; brings them into the poorhouse and prison, hospital and asylum, and early puts them under ?he earth." ?30GU8 AROOWENT. From Noah down, men bave used land abased intoxican ta, but that sig nifies nothing wha teven, From Noah ?down, men have done afi sarta of fool Elinga, and as to some of the things ave gradually learned that they were ironies and so eschewed them. George - ^Cashmgtcn drank na before break ifast There is no more reason for ?ticktag to George*? rtpn than for cup ping and bleeding patients for every ?Enees.

"No place ?or the cahaxarty howler," ?kaya former Lieutenant Governor New lands, speaking of temperance ia iNorth Carolina. "The state ls enjoy ing the greatest prospertbV in erery line of business it bas ever known. If Coxey's army ester crosses its bor ders it will get no further. Manufac turers and farmers in North Carolina need men to turn out their products and to help harvest their crops. There ls no excuse for a single one being ?Idle when every opportunity is pre sented and Inducement held out to la borers, both skilled and unskilled. We are going to have bumper crops in the ata te thiB year, and the people are will lng to pay good wages for help, be cause they have the money to do sa" iBRUBACKER'S OBJECTION. "Jesus made wine." So he did made it out of water-just water, nothing else. And when our big brew ers make their beer out of the sarao Ingredient-and nothing else-they may put my picture and my signature on every bottle. But as long as they ?put In cedar shavings and cannabis in dica blossoms and acetio ether and .sulphuric acid they cant use my pic ture. But my friend says 96 per cent of beer is water. That's true, and If ?fche 96 per cent of water could be drawn off 96 men couldn't make you nrinL' what's left-Wm. A, Bru backer. fr GOOD SHOWING. The census fi^wes for 1910 show that for the whole country the average number of prisoners committed to penal institutions was 552 per 100,000 population. The number committed in prohibition Kansas was liH> per 100, O00, while in license Nebraska the .number was 485 por 100,000. In the av erage commitments per 100,000 for every state in the Union, only two oth er states are lower than Kansas ?North Carolina and North Dakota, froth prohibition states. SALVA?C h?iL'ivi LOST SHIPS Specie in Quantity Has on Occasions Been Recovered From the Victims of the Ocean's Fury. Although the chances of being able to do so are considered doubtful, since she lies in 17 fathoms of water, the Canadian Pacific railway has not abandoned all hope of refloating the Empress of Ireland. At any rate, every effort will be made to recover the ?200,000 worth of silver, in 163 bags, which is still in the specie room of the sunken liner. The most notable salvage of silver during recent years was made after the Oceana sank in the channel in March, 1912, through collision with the Pisegua. The work wes hindered by strong currents and tides, but during the succeeding three months silver worth over ?500,000 was recovered at a very low cost The Oceana was ly ing quite upright; the Empress of Ire land tamed turtle-obviously a very much more difficult position for sal vage work. The ?200,000 worth of silver, how ever, represents but a small portion of the money which went down with the ill-fated vessel; for thousands of pounds belonging to the passengers themselves must have been lost. The average .passenger on one of these liners usually carries a plentiful sup ply of loose cash and bank notes with him, and it is estimated, as in the case of the Titanic, that the loss of paper money belonging to passengers them selves must have been enormous. The banks, it might be mentioned, are the gainers hi such canes. The usual procedure when bank notes are lost is to at once inform tho Bank of England, giving the numbers. Then it is necessary to watt 12 mouthe. If by that time the notes har? not been re turned to the bank, you may obtain the cash on again presenting the num bers and giving the bank a letter of indemnity, guaranteed by your bank ers, to refund the money should the notes ever be presented, in which case the bank ls bound to pay again. If the numbers on the bank notes are unknown, and the notes are never found, tho money goes to the un claimed bank balances, tn which there are always huge amounts of other peo? pie's money.-London Tit-Bits. Light Humor. In the latter half of the eighteenth century one of the members of a little scientific society in Liverpool, Eng land, laid a curious wager. He bet a brother scientist that he would read a newspaper by the light of a farthing dip at a distance of 30 feet The B. S., finding the feat difficult at even a sixth of the distance, cheerfulfcp ac cepted the wager. The layer merely coated the inside ; of a shallow wooden box with sloping pieces of looking glass, so as to form a concave leus, placed it behind his farthing dip, and readily deciphered the small print at the stipulated dis tance. The experiment wes witnessed by a Liverpool dock-master. He was a thinking maa, and saw great possibili ties in this learned jest He straight way adapted the principle to light house requirements, and forthwith the modern reflected light, with its miles of reflected range and untold llfe-s&v I lng powers, sprang into being. Doll Too Much Like Beby. j This is a true story.: There ls a Hfctte girl on the East side of New York to whom a beautiful woman wanted to give a doll The woman brought the little girl tato Tier luxurious home one day and pnt into her arms a doll such a doll aa ls popularly supposed to ; be dear to the hearts of little girls who live on the Seat side. But the little giri drew bacfc with aa ugly ? BCOWL She didn't want the doll, and she said so. The beautiful woman thought her a very ungrateful child. It was not until some time after ward the little girl explained. She'd always had babies to take care of, she Bald. She'd had them to lug around with her almost as soon as she was I able to walk. She loved them, of course, but at play time-when there was such a thing as play time-she really didn't want a doll. It was too much like the babies. Volcanoes Again In Action. Some of the volcanoes in the Sangir islands are in eruption. The streams of lava have burned down woods and cocoa plantations, and a rain of stone has caused damage throughout the whole surrounding country. Above a hundred houses have collapsed.* Sev eral of the Sangir islands, which are almost midway between Mindanao, Philippines, and Celebes, have active volcanoes, the most important being Gukcng Abu, on Great Sangir, by eruption of which many thousands of lives have been lost Its worst re corded outbursts were in 1711, 1812, 1856, 1883 and 1892. In the last men tioned year the northwest portion of tho island entirely disappeared, car rying 2,000 people with it. Worthy of Remembrance.
