AT THE (By Mao Tinee. ) I've just come back from the war. (Wait a minute until I take off my hat and coat and I'll tell you about it. I've hau them on ever since I started. There!) It's ono thing to read about the war it's quite another to be a spectator. Sitting In your own-home with a pa per in your hand- and a hundred and .me comfy things about you to remind you aa you read how far away you are from the horrors of Eurone, is a dif ferent senaation entirely, believe mu, from being right where things are happening- where with' your own eyes you witness destruction and sor row ; hear the shouts of the victor ious and the moana of the defeated and dying. O, just let me tell pou my experience! When I first saw the beautiful city of Antwerp I exclaimed at Its homey ness, its compactness- its general ap pearance of well being. Through tte well kept streets a thrifty and. ap parently prosperous people moved. Pleasant faced women, laughing child ren, and well built men. Even the hor ses looked comfortable. All bore wit ness bf constant and intelligent .care. A str.ii through the country showed rich * ._s just ready'for the harvest _uu over all smiled a Complacent sun by day and a tender moon by night I said to the one who was with me, TO * TUC nArfnp The docior is first, of course, in sickness1 or injury, but a drug store capable of ?'

Little children ran from their play I I in* tbc streets and clung to the skirts I fl of their motberr/-fearful ot some- fl fl thing,' they knew not what- and I j II found myself listening, trembling, I ll biting a quivering underlip. What I I could it mean? This sudden awful fl fl shadow that had fallen over the hap- I fl py country! In one minute I knew. The Germans'were coming! H It Was war! H There came quickly the time of.fev- I IJjertsh preparation.

I sobbed a little- then stifled thc Hjftntv who rss ? to cry? I And then a little later- Antwerp in flames! The beautiful city of homes H turned into a menacing, fiery furnace, ? from out the bowels of ?Mch rushed IJtho families of the meu who had gone to fight for her.

HJ I saw L a terrified little girl- ? the couldn't havo been more than 8 years old- stumble and fall and so become separated from her mother. "O," I exclaimed, and involuntar ily put out my arms; but the scene had' changed. This little child and probably hundreds of other little help less, homeless little ones had been left behind, and In the open country shellB were bursting all about me, devastating the rich fields, clouding tho sunshine, and putting out the lives fl of men. I On, on, through: the countryside, where bullets Were flying Instead of hirds. I saw a farm house where some fl Belgians were under cover fired- hy a Germ tn shell and the .'brave little band of fighters lsld low. I saw a flooded area that bad once beer a beautiful, productive farm where, pre cariously ?toking her way. a lonely woman gathered a few garments from a clothesline stretched between two trees that stood on high ground.

YORK?, Dec. ll.- Tho loss of Ave hundred thousand men ss the result of the present warfare could be made good lu less than ten years through complete abstenance from al coholic drinks hy all the inhabitants of Russia," according to Arthur Hun ter, 'ST-New York actuary, who- report ed to the convention of the Associa tion of Life Insurance Presider* here today some of the results ot an ex haustive mortuary investigation just completed by the life insurance com panies into 2,000,000 insured lives in the past 25 years. Mr. Hunter is chairman of the cen tral bureau of the Medlco-Acturial Committee which has charge of the three and one half year inquiry. The investigation waa to enable the conl oi forty-three of the leading compan ies of the- United 8tates and Canada in a great many groups of insured persons, supposed to have a higher than the'average among insured lives. While the fundamental object of the investigation was to enable the elm panics in determining what risks in the future should be accepted rated up or-declined, Mr. Hunter said that the results also could be utilised to lengthen human life. Taking up some of tho specific re sults of the investigation, Mr. Hunter Bald: "Nothing bas been more con clusively proven than, that a steady use of alcoholic beverages, or occas slonally using it to excess, Injures the individual. In my Judgment, it has also bien proven beyond perad venture of doubt that total abstain once from alcohol is of value . to humanity; lt ls certain that abstain ers live longer than persons who use alcoholic beverages. Among the men who admitted that they had taken al cohol, occasionally to excess in the past, but whose habits were consid ered satisfactory when they were in sured, ther - were 289 deaths while there would have, been only 190 had this groupe been made up of Insured lives In general. The extra mortality was therefore, over 60 per cent, whlcb waa equivalent to a reduction In the average Ute of these men of over four years." One ot the most Insignificant results of the investigation, he said, was the high mortality experienced among railroad men. Among locomotive en glneera the mortality was 60 per cent In execess of that among the insured as a whole, which ls equivalent to five years'. reduction in the average lifo Urne. "There is a general impression that saloon keepers do not live as long as persons In non-hazardous occupations, he continued, ."but it is,-now general ly known .hat moat , classes whick are connected with elthef- the manuiac I turo or sale of liquor have a high I mortality. Among saloon proprietors j whether they attend the bar or not ? there wu3 mn extra mortality ot 10 j 1 per cent; Ure cause of des tn indi- j caled that a free use of alcohol bev erages had ci.used many of the deaths. In the fourteen sub-divlsioas of the trades connected with the manufac ture and sale of alcohol, there wes only one class which. had a norxral mortality snd that was the distille'y proprietors.". I VAUGHN NOT CRAZY SAYS DR. R T. JENNINGS ?Saya That Former Orphanage Superintendent is Faking In sanity to Save life. (Greenville News.) "T. U. Vaughn is no more crasy than I am," aald Dr. R. T.
