HALF THE COUNTRY
PROHIBITION.
Forty Million People Living in Places
Where Saloons Are Forbidden j
?Number Swelling Daily.
Nearly forty million people in the
United States now live in "prohibition
territory." At first glance the
above statement, made bv Dr. P. A.
Baker, general superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League, at Denver, Col.,
may seem extravagant, but Dr. Baker
says it is based upon accurate figures
compiled in the league departments,
and that the number is swelling daily.
Few people realize that the temperance
wave has swept over the country
in the last few years with such
persistent vigor that now nearly onehalf
the population of the United
States is situated in territory where
the saloon is forbidden.
"The temperance people of this
country have been closing saloons in
the United States at the rate of thirty
a day during the year 1908," said Dr.
Baker, "and I believe that it will contine
at that rate during the rest of
the year.' About eight million people
abolished saloons last year, and I am
confident that this year those figures
will be duplicated. It is not fully
realized by the general public that the
temperance movement has been so
universally successful as it has.
"Partly by state abolition of saloons
and to a greater degree by local option
the prohibition territory of the
United States has been increased until
there are now 40,000,000 people living
in places where the saloon is forbidden.
Eight states are in the prohibition
Hot anH wo Virmo t/-? nnf. mrvrp
MVU **W w WUV4 WW w ^ V%v V
there. Last spring people liying in
the State of Illinois abolished 1,500
saloons in one day.
"The Anti-Saloon Leagtje is not interested
in partisan politics. We have
nothing directly to do with the prohibition
party. Our work is carried on
by the members of all parties. We
ha^e a political department, but it is
not concerned with the partisan side
of politics.
"I have just reached here after a
trip to Salt Lake City and other places
in the West. I find conditions there
excellent in our cause. In Wyoming,
Idaho and Utah they are working for
a law that will provide for county
local option and are seeking to elect
men to the legislatures who will
pledge themselves to the passage of
such a measure. The Mormons are in
favor of the county local option movement
and are working diligently for
it. The authorities of the Mormon
church are co-operating splendidly in
this workand \fre are securing good
organization all through the country."
Best Treatment for a Burn.
If for no other reason, Chamberlain's
Salve should be kept in every household
on account of its grea; value in the
treatment of burns. It allays the pain
almost instantly, and unless the injury
is a severe one, heals the parts without
leaving a scar. This salve is almost unequaled
for chapped hands, sore nipples
and diseases of the skin. Price, 25 cents.

A Paying Investment.
Mr. John White, of SS Highland ave.,
Houlton, Me., says: "Have been troubled
with a cough every winter and
spring. Last winter I tried many advertised
remedies, but the cough continued
until I bought a 50c. bottle of
Dr. King's New Discovery; before that
was half gone, the cough was all gone.
This winter the same happy result has
followed; a few doses once more banished
the annual cough. I am now convinced
that Dr. King's New Discovery
is the best of all cough and lung remedies.''

Drug Co., and Derrick's Drug

VALUE 0F~PUBLICITY. '
fcteve Brodie, the Bridge Jumper, as a
Self Advertiser.
Curiously enough, the man who, In
my opinion, had the keenest intuition
of the value of publicity and used it
to the greatest personal advantage,
when we consider his humble beginnings
and the limited sphere of his endeavor,
never really knew how to read
and write. I knew him first as a young
street urchin, making his living by
selling newspapers, blacking boots, run
ning errands and doing such odd jobs
as fell In his way, and it was chiefly
through selling newspapers, whose
headlines alone he was barely able to
decipher, that he gained that knowledge
of what Park row calls "news
values," which one finds in every trained
and efficient city editor.
It was on the strength of this knowledge
that this bootblack went one day
to a well known wholesal^liquor dealer
on the east side and proposed that he
should establish him in a saloon on
lower Bowery. The liquor dealer was
aghast at his presumption until he
learned his scheme; then he capitulated
at once, and within a few days the pa
pers had been signed and twenty-four
hours' option secured on rickety and.
from nearly every imaginable point of
view, undesirable premises near Canal
street and directly under the noisiest
and dustiest and oiliest part of the elevated
railroad. This done, the bootblack
made his way to the very center
of the Brooklyn bridge, climbed hastily
to the top of the parapet and, heedless
of the warning shouts of the horrified
onlookers and the swift rush of a panting
cop, dropped into the seething waters
below.
It was an unknown youth with/an
earning capacity of a few dollars a
week who disappeared beneath the sur
| face of the East river, out it was an
enterprising young man, an east side
celebrity, in fact all ready for the divine
oil of publicity and with an assured
income and possible fortune in
his grasp, whose nose reappeared very
shortly above the muddy surface of
the water and who was helped by willing
and officious hands into a rowboat
where dry clothing awaited him, together
with hearty congratulations on
the fact that he alone, of all .those who
had attempted to jump the bridge, had
escaped with his life. The next day
fVidk noma r?f Slavft "Rrrtflfp WAS flashed
from one end of the country to the other,
and within a very few hours after
his discharge from custody?he was
arrested on the charge of trying to
take his own life?he was standing behind
his own bar, serving drinks to
the crowds who came to gape at Steve
Brodie, the bridge jumper, and to pour
their money into his coffers.?James L.

UNFINISHED BOOKS.
Authors Who Died Leaving Stories
Partly Written;
Many writers. Including the famous
Ouida, have died leaving behind
them unfinished books. One of the
best known is, of course, Dickens'
"The Mystery of Edwin Drood," a remarkably
clever story, and one showing
no signs of diminishing vitality,
although he was actually at work
upon it up to within a few hours of
his deathDickens'
great rival, Thackeray,
again, left behind him not one only,
but two unfinished stories. One of
these, "Denis Duval," promised to
rank with his best work. Unfortunately,
however, he had completed only
seven chapters when he was stricken
down. i
Scott, too, left a tale unended?"The
Siege of Malta"?written while he was
on his last futile journey in search of
health. This work has never been
published,' although' more than twothirds
of it was completed at the time
of his death.
Then there was "St Ives," left unfinished
by R. L. Stevenson, as was
"Zeph," by Helen Jackson, and
I "Blind Love," by Wllkie Collins. Buc
kle never completed his "History of
Civilization," although he toiled at it
for twenty years.
Among famous poems that were
never completed mention may be made
of Byron's "Don Juan," Keats' "Hyperion,"
Coleridge's "Christabel" and
Gray's "Agrippina." Spenser's "Faerie
Queene," too, is no more than a fragment,
although a colossal one.
Lastly, there ought to be included
Ben Jonson's beautiful, unfinished pastoral,
"The Sad Shepherd," found by
hlg literary executors among his papers
after his death and published in
its incompleteness.?Pearson's Weekly.'
No Use For It.
Uncle Zebulon was on a visit to his
nephew In the big city, and the two
had gone to a restaurant for dinner.
They had given their c^der and were
waiting for it to be filled when the
younger man, who had been glancing
at a paper that lay on the table, said:
"By the way, uncle, did you ever
have cerebro-spinal meningitis?"
"No," replied Uncle Zebulon after a
few moments' mental struggle with the
miocHftn "nnd t dnn't want any. I'd
rather have fried liver and bacon any
dar."
