(Conducted by the Kational Woman's Christian Temperance Union.) FROM A BUSINESS STANDPOINT. By REV. JOSEPH HENRY CROOKER.) Let us see how the liquor trade works out as a business proposition In a small village of 3,000 people (count ing the tributary country folk), with four saloons. As the average per cap ita expenditure for drink in the United States is over twenty dollars a year, on that basts this village would spend, $60,000 annually for liquor. But, to be conservative, we will cut thiB in two and make it $30,000. That sum, very large for so small a community, we may set down as the charge against the saloons. The business gains from them ar practically as follows: For licenses, $1,000 ($250 being the aver age village fee); for rent (the keepers living above their bar-rooms), $2,500; for household expenses of four fami lies, $4,000 (a very high estimate); making $7,600 the amount of money which the business spends in the town a very liberal calculation. That Is, for every four dollars paid over the bar, only one comes back to the finan cial Interests of the community. An outgo of four dollars and income of one dollar. Surely, not much profit In that! Or to put the matter In another way: For every four dollars that goes Into any one of those saloons, three dollars never comes out again to do business in that town; the grocer on one side loses a dollar's trade, the market on the oth er side loses a dollar's trade, and the merchant across the street also loses a dollar's trade for every hour through out the yearl .THE POUM FIELD Den't Waste the Electric Light The old fashioned coal oil lamp with the strips of red flnnnel In It-what h cams of It?

In 1902 the population was approximately 2,000; In 1910 it was nearly 20,000 a 685 per cent increase. Today Its popula tion is reckoned at ' 4.5,000. Long Beach Is one of the youngest tourist resorts in southern California and has been "dry" many years. "Other coast cities are m favorably located as to climate, environment, and proximity to Los Angeles," says Mayor Wheal ton, "and Long Beach is larger than any of them, its hanks and bank clear ings and assessed valuation of prop erty far surpassing them." The prohi bition of the liquor traffic, he declares, has contributed more than anything else to this phenomenal growth and prosperity, 50 per cent of the popula tion coming there, he believes, be cause it is a saloonless town. PUBLIC SENTIMENT MAKERS. Two visitors in Milwaukee, In at tendance at a home missionary con vention, went on a tour of inspection of the Schlita Brewing company's plant, relates the tTnion Signal. In the course of their tour, one of them casually Inquired of the man who was escorting them, "Has the work the women (meaning the W. C. T. U.) have been doing at all affected your business?" For answer the man pointed out of the window to a group of vacant buddings. "See them not a wheel of machinery moving. Once we worked seven days and seven nights a week now we have reduced It to three." OPPOSITION TO LIQUOR TRAFFIC. This from a Pennsylvania hotel Veeper, who for four years was secre tary of the Philadelphia Liquor Deal ers' association and should know whereof he speaks: "Liquor men who say that all this agitation is being created by temper ance cranks are not awake. The oppo sition comes from many men who have liquors in their cellars; It comes from the big corporations who are making this fight on economlo grounds; it comes from big merchants they them selves may drink and many of them do, but they don't want their em ployees to drink." NOURISHMENT IN BEER. It Is now possible to demonstrate with mathematical certainty that, so far as enriching the blood Is con cerned. the flour that will lie on the point of a knife affords more nourish ment than four measures of the best Bavarian beer; and that anybody who drinks a measure of beer dally would thus Imbibe In one year about as much nourishment as Is contained In a pound of bread. Baron Justus von Llebeg, In Chemlschs Brtefe. TRIS WILL INTEREST Says Indigestion Comes From an Excess of Hydrochlor ic Acid. A well-known authority states that stomach trouble and Indigestion Is nearly always due to acidity add stomach and not, as most folks be lieve, from a lack of digestive Juices. He states that an excess of hydro chloric acid in the stomach retards digestion and starts food digestion, then our meals sour like garbage in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases which Inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. We . then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in the chest, we eruc tate sour food, belch gas, or have heartburn, flatulenc, water-brash, or nausea. . : He tells us to lay aside all digestive aids and instead, get from any phar macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablespoonful In a glass of water before breakfast while It Is ef fervescing, and furthermore, to con tinue this for one week. While relief follows the first dose, it is Important to neutralize the acidity, remove .he gas-making mass, start the liver, stim ulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive Juices. Jad Salts is inexpensive and Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithla and sodium phosphate. This harmless salts Is UBfd by thousands of people for stomach trouble with excellent results. GEHOGETEEB MEETING OF TANNERY EMPLOYES Led by Rev. E. M. Hoyle Ar- . ranged in the Form of an "Over-all" Banquet. A number of the white employes of the Hans Rees' Pons' tannery met recently with Rev. E. M.
