It Would be amusing if it were not 00
te observe the way in
which some Committeeact When tin y
collie to the liquor qneation. They
suddenly seem to become blindr deaf
and dumb, as if there were no liquor
problem, or as if they thought that
drink was not a great waste and ex,
travagance, es a brewer's Gazette hits
admitted •
Beards of Health will investigate
every nook and cranny in the most
painstaking manner, but they rarely
turn their searchlight on the greatest
of all causes of Sickness.
Commissions on the high cost of
living never touch on the drink waste
as a possible cause, and yet it hi un-
doubtedly the greatest factor in the
high cost of living as well as the great-
est cause of disease and death,
Speaking on this subject Mr, Dan
Poling sap: "Congress can tinker
With the tariff until Doomsday and not
begin to solve the problem of the high
cost of living. Have you -ever stopped
to consider what two thousand millions
of dollars would do toward solving that
problem? Do you think it would help
if we could find two thousand million
dollars somewhere?
Well, we have found two thousand
million dollars worse than wasted.
John Barleycorn has more than two
thousand million dollars in his greedy
fist,—money taken from the people( of
the United States, In return for this
coin, to society in general, and to the
people from whom he took it, he gave
infinitely less than nothing.
In round numbers the drink bill of the
United States represents an investment
in body, mind and soul destruction, of
ninety-one dollars for each family in
the country.
When we remember that there are
unnumbered families that have no
drink bill at all. we begin to form a
hazy conception of the annual drink
bill per family of the drinking families
of the nation. John P. Lennon, the
treasurer of the American Federation
of labor, says that seventy per cent of
the drink bill of the United States is
contributed by the American laboring
man. yVhat does that mean? It
•means that liquor money is generally
bread money, meat money, shoe money,
and money that ought to be spent for
clothing. It generally means that some
stomachs go hungry for bread, some
feet go poorly shod, some bodies go
inadequately clothed. in order that the
liquor may gratify the unspeakable
appetite it creates for strong drink.
It means that liquor money is generally
needed for the necessities and comforts
of life.
It is time that we help to solve the
high cost of living problem by making
John Batleyeorn disgorge. Two billion
dollars would do marvellous things in
the way of filling empty larders and
scanty wardrobes for thousands of pov-
erty stricken families.
And what does a man get for his
liquor money anyway? He gets a
weak stomach, a bad breath, a mean
disposition, the disrespect of the com-
munity. He gets inefficient. He gets
fired. He gets drunk. The chances
are that he gets into his grave years
before his time.

COULD HARDLY BE CALLED A
"COOKED REPORT"
--
Years before the war broke nut, a
British gunboat was stationed for a
prolonged period on the west coast of
Africa. The commander, succumbed to
the lassitude: bred of the hot station and
neglected to send to the Admiralty the
frequent and detailed reports of every-
thing relating to the vessel and its
movements which the Admiralty called
for. He had, therefore, several times
been politely requested by the Admiral-
ty to send his ship's books
and papers home for inspection, and as
on each occasion he failed to make any
reply, much less send the papers, the
request gradually lost more and more
of its politeness, until et last it became
a peremptory demand. But. unfortun-
ately, all the desired reports were so
h eelesly in arrears that it was beyond
human ingenuity to compile th-en with
any appearance ot verisimilitude. The
lieutenant, being abundantly dowered
with that unfailing resourcefulness
which has so often in naval history
turned a defeat into a victory, soon hit
upon a way out of the difficulty. Hav-
ing procured a tin -lined case, he bored
several tiny holes in it, and placed
therin the blank books and papers.
Lastly he placed inside a couple of doz-
en healthy West African cockroaches.
And when the box arrived at Whitehall,
there were some small fragments of
leather, a mass of infinitesimal scraps
of paper, twenty-three plethoric ccck-
roaches the size of frogs, and one who
had been cut 6ff in his prime by devour_
ing a binding dyed with arsenical green.
The lieutenant, of course, was entirely
exonerated from all blame.

WINTER STORAGE 'OF CABBAGE.,
Important to Prevent Heating and
Maintain an Even Temperature.
In storing cabbage the heads are
generally pulled up when light freez-
ing begins along in November. Fre-
quent freezing and thawing will not
hurt the, general appearance of cab-
bage before it is harvested. How-
ever, too much of it will impair the
keeping qualities. In small quan-
tities the supply may be stood on the
bottom of a cool cellar with the
roots turned up. Cover the single
layer of cabbage with sand so as to
exclude air and keep in perfect con-
dition.
In large quantities cabbage is stor-
ed right in the field, provided the soil
is well drained. Market growers pre-
fer to open up a furrow with a two -
horse ple— c• -'ng down and back just
once, levying space two or three
inches wide between the furrow. This
ridge is quickly leveled down or
thrown out. The cabbage is laid in
this one layer thick by turning the
roots almost straight in the air.
Gather the old leaves closely around
each head and pack them in snugly.
A few of the poor heads may be laid
on top. Over this sprinkle a little
hay, straw, or leaves; then throw a
furrow from each side on this ma-
terial. This will prevent the mater-
ial from !awing away and will leave
a space possibly ten inches wide not
covered with soil. Thus air ventila-
tion will be provided until severe
freezing weather, when more soil or
covering material may be applied.
The important consideration in the
storing of cabbage is to prevent heat-
ing and to maintain an even low tem-
perature'. Ten degrees below freez-
ing does not hurt cabbage, provided
It is thawed out gradually.
Light on History.
A stone inscription has recently
been discovered, near Partabgarh in
Rajputana, which sheds a new light
on an obscure period in early history
of this part of India. The credit of
this discovery belongs to Rai Baha-
dur Pandit Gaurishanker Hojha, Su-
perintendent of Rajputana Museum,
Ajmer, who is at present engaged in
deciphering the inscription. From a
cursory examination of the inscrip-
tion it appears to be the reproduction
of four separate grants to the shrine
of Indradity Deva and the temple of
Vatayakshini Devi attached to the
monastery of Haripeshwar.

The moat important things to think
about When planning the hotbed are;
Location, construction, heat, 0)11, tem-
perature, and ventilation..
It is always beat to locate the bed
in some sheltered, well,drained place,
preferably on the south side of a build-
ing which is near the path connecting
the house and barn. This gives one a
chance to carefully watch ventilation,
etc,
'The bed is usually six feet wide and
as long as desired. After the dimen-
sions and location have been deter-
mined, dig a pit 15 to 30 inches deep,
six feet wide, and as long as wanted.
Around the pit build a good strong
frame. The south wall of the frame
should be about six inches high, and
the north wall 12 inches high. This
will give a good slope to the south,
The roof is usually composed of
sashes three feet wide and Aix feet
long. These are simply laid on top
of the frame. It is possible to use
heavy muslin cloth in place of the
glass.
Use horse manure. The fresh man-
ure should be placed under cover end
piled about three feet deep. As soon
as it begins to heat, turn it. Then
when it begins to heat again, place it
firmly in the hotbed pit, Fill the nit
