SUBSTITUTE MILK FOR BOOZE
Milk contains all the elements need
l to build up and sustain the body.
That is why work* rs feel satisfied af
ter drinking it. The shipbuilders of
Seattle are using lIfPOO pint bottles
of milk every lunch hour, and the only
reuson they do not use 20,100 is that
there is a limit to the supply. And as
for ice creatu cones, great piles of
them go like hot cakes every noon.
The heaviest consumers of milk and
Ice cream In Seattle shipyards are
said to be the steel construction men
—riveters, plate hangers and the forge
men. This work exacts a heavy toll on
physical strength and these workers
find milk an element thut puts “pep"
and vigor into them.
•‘The chnnge from boor to milk has
been a mighty good tiling for every
body concerned," said W. It. Ilailey,
who has worked in the shipyard pat
tern shops off and on nearly thirty
years. “In the old days a foreman
could never tell how many men he
would have on the Job the next day
after pay day. It was tlie rule for the
men to break for the nearest saloon
as soon as they received their checks
and most of them anchored there un
til they were turned out —broke. I've
known fellows in those days that
couldn’t buy a pair of socks because
they never had anything left after (lie
first visit to flic saloon. When some
of the men did come back to work
they were sodden and dull and in
capable of doing a good day's work.
“Things nro different now. These
men who are drinking milk Instead of
beer have clear skins, clear vision and
clear minds. They are able to do a
fair day’s work every day and can
make extra effort when it’s necessary.”
SAVING MAN POWER.
New Hampshire, like other com
monwealths made dry by state enact
ment, has proved that prohibition re
sults In marked conservation of man
oower and money power. Here is the
record of “drunks” of eight cities for
he first month after the law went into
effect contrasted with the correspond
ng month under license:
* 'l9lß. 1917.
Berlin 3 79
loncord 0 84
Dover C 37
Franklin 2 39
Manchester 48 343
Nashua 24 81
Portsmouth 11 93
Somersworth 3 22
Totals 103 752
This represents 049 “drunks” saved
m one month in these eight cities. It
s safe to assume thnt an equal num
ber of real “drunks,” not arrested,
vere unable to work after pay day and
nit of a job because drunk. Allowing
i conservative estimate of only five
days’ loss of time for each drunk
(many were 30 days) we have 6,490
bays’ work saved to New Hampshire
jy eight cities alone in one month of
orohibltlon. At $3 a day tills is near
ly $20,000 in money.
3IBLE CLASS DISCONTINUED BE
CAUSE OF PROHIBITION.
In a four-mile trip through the South
rnd the far West, Miss A'nnn A. Gor
ton. president of the National W. C.
T. U., found the people In dry terrl
;ory well satisfied with prohibition, and
n the large cities like Portland, Ore.,
md Seattle, Wash., no Industrial dis
turbance htul followed its adoption.
“The only criticism, I heard,” she
said, “was in Portland, where they said
It had put out of business the largest
Bilile cluss in the country. Of course
[ was shocked to hear that, but when
the president of the local Woman's
Christian Temperance union told me
thnt she had been for a number of
years teaching thnt Bible class every
Sunday morning In the county Jail, and
that prohibition had taken her class
away for her, I went on my wuy re
lolcing.”
ABSTINENCE AND EFFICIENCY.
• As regards straight shooting It Is
everyone’s experience thnt übstlnenee
Is necessary for efficiency. By care
ful and prolonged tests, the shooting
efficiency of the men was proved to
be 80 per cent worse after the rum
ration than before. What Is true of
the soldier Is true of the man who
makes the supplies for the soldiers
and sailors. Neither civilian nor sol
dier can be at his best for work In
rhe trenches or In the factory when
he uses Intoxicating liquor. It takes
three or four men at home to support
one soldier In the trenches. If the
civilians at home destroy their effi
ciency through drink they destroy the
vupport of the army Just ns effective
ly as if th*> evil result came in direct
contact With the army itself.—Admiral
Jelllcoe.
A SOLDIER’S PLEA
In the department, “Letters from the
People,” of the Chicago Herald and
Exnminer we find this:
Sir—As the son of a father brutal
ized through drink, I urge you to do
everything in your power to help the
prohibition measure. I am leaving for
camp realizing the agonies thut my
mother is suffering without the aid
of her three boys, all of whom have
gone to the front.
THE VICTIM OF A DRUNKEN
FATHER.
(Nanw wUhUfcld)
PEOPLE MUST TAKE
VICTORY LOAN OR
INJURE BUSINESS
If Banks Were Forced To Carry Whole
Loan, They Would Have No
Money To Lend To Public
That the Victory Loan, like Its four
predecessors, must be a "people’s loan’’
Is especially stressed by Carter Glass,
secretary of the treasury, in a state
ment to the public. It is not to be a
“bankers’ loan.” The nation's busi
ness situation depends upon as wide
a distribution as possible of the Vic
tory bonds.
The banks, it is pointed out, must be
left free to advance money for business
purposes; to the merchants and manu
facturers and the farmers. If all the
banks' money is tied up in loans to
the government, it stands to reason
that there will be none left to lend
on crops. It would mean “tight money,"
which means high interest rates and
refusals to extend notes and a general
hardship upon the men who depend
upon the banks to assist them in car
rying on business and agriculture.

Don't Forget the Roof!
The need for the billions the Vic
tory bonds will bring is plain to any
man who stops to think. The war is
not over, though the actual fighting
has ceased. The bills are still running
ap. Millions of men are still in uni
form, drawing pay and food and cloth
ing. The Secretary of the Treasury
declares:
“Government contracts cannot be re
pudiated. The goods must be paid for
in full. Our shipbuilding activities
must be carried out.”
So, it can easily be seen that the
Job is not 'finished. What would you
think of a farmer who built him a
house, laying the foundations, putting
up the walls, ceiling the rooms —and
forgetting the roof?
The roof will not be put on our na
tional house until the job is finished
and the bills paid.
The campaign for Victory bonds will
begin on April 21. The exact details
of the issue have not yet been an
nounced, but it is considered certain
that the bonds will be made an unusu
ally attractive investment.

One no longer hears the old-time
talk about “surnlus women.”

Cardui, the woman'*

liam Eversole, of Hazel
Patch, Ky. Read what
she writes: "1 had a
general breaking-down
of my health. I was in
bed for weeks, unable to
get up. I had such a
weakness and dizziness,
.. . and the pains were
very severe. A friend
told me I had tried every
thing else, why not
Cardui ?.. . 1 did, and
soon saw it was helping
me . . . After 12 bottles,
I am strong and well.”

Do you feel weak, diz

ARE YOUR TAXES HEAVY?
THEY MAY BE HEAVIER YET
Probably every reader of this paper
finds his taxes a bit higher than he
likes to pay. Thousands of them have
been struggling for the last few weeks
to make out reports on income taxes
to the government, and have found
that six per cent takes a pretty heavy
slice out of what was left over on New
Year’s day. Many of you had to bor
row money to pay the taxes.
But this tax is nothing to what all
of us will have to pay if the Victory
Loan fails to go over. Uncle Sam’s
war bills must be paid. He prefers to
borrow the money from us and pay us
back later on.
But if he can’t borrow it, he must
take it—in the form of taxes.
It’s like the difference between rent
ing a house for ten years or buying it
on the installment plan. In one case,
you wind up with a thick bundle of
rent receipts. In the other, you have
a deed to your home.
Isn’t it better to lend your money to
the Government at a fair rate of in
terest than to pay it out in taxes,
which never come back?
That’s worth considering when the
time comes to invest in Victory Bonds.
DON’T SELL BONDS CHEAP.
Holders of Liberty bonds of any Is
sue are warned by the government not
to accept the first offer made by a
“shark” in case they are forced to sell
their bonds for ary purpose.
It is best to borrow on your bonds
instead of selling them, and the banks
will usually grant a low rate of inter
est. But if you must sell, go to a reg
ular bank, where you will get the full
market price. If you can hold on, all
the better, for the Liberty bonds will
certainly bring 100 cents on the dollar
after a few years of peace.

" Your Nose Knows”
All smoking’ tobaccos use some flavoring. The
Encyclopaedia Britannica says about the manu
facture of smoking tobacco, “. . . or the Continent
and in America certain ‘sauces’ are employed ... the
use of the ‘sauces’ is to improve the flavour and
burning qualities of the leaves.”
Tuxedo uses chocolate —the purest, most, whole
some and delicious of all flavorings! Everybody
likes chocolate —we all know that chocolate added
to anything as a flavoring always makes that thing
still more enjoyable. That is why a dash of chocolate,
added to the most carefully selected and properly
aged hurley tobacco, makes Tuxedo more enjoyable—
