The Saloon Versus Business.
A well known business man of Puget
Sound, who is neither a Church mem-
ber nor a total abstainer, recently
made the remark to a few friends with
whom he was taking lunch, Talking
of business tosses he said, "The only
cure for such condition is total prohib-
ition."
When asked for his reasons for such
a statement he replied substantially as
follows:
"For some years I was a resident ,in
a Colorado City of about 15,000 people,
my business being in connection with
a department etore in that place.
There were ten saloons in the city all
of which were respectable places as no
dives were permitted. This depart-
ment store had among the many
names carried on its books 800 debtors
whose account was marked of as 'bad.'
There came a time when the saloon
was voted out and the city became
'dry.' Within sixty days of the date
on which the saloons were closed 280
of those whose account shad been
marked off as uncollectable voluntar-
ily came in and'paid their accounts in
full. Within an additional brief time
300 more came in and 'made good.'
Thus in a short time 500 of these 800
creditors paid their debts and their
credit was established when that city
became dry."
That is what happens in nearly
every place when the temptation to
drink is removed. Why don't bust- , ********#*#***akak***

Russians' Paper Uniforms.
Russian and Japanese soldiers are
now wearing clothes made of paper.
"Kamiko," as paper clothing is call-
ed in Japan, is made of the real
Japanese paper manufactured from
mulberry bark. The paper has little
"size" in it, and though soft and
warm, a thin layer of silk wadding
is placed between two sheets of the
paper and the whole quilted. A
company in Yokohama is supplying
large quantities of paper shirts to
the Russian army. The garments
are made of tough but soft fabric,
strong enough to hold buttons sewn
on in the ordinary way, and appear
to be very serviceable. The Japa-
nese soldiers realized the value of
this kind of clothing when they had
to weather a Siberian winter. Its
only drawback is that it is not
washable.
Australia Could Supply Ment.
It is stated that the Australian
Commonwealth could In itself under-
take to furnis't all the meat needed
by the British armies for the next
year or two, and, given fair seasons,
soon recover from such a drain upon
her live -stock resources. There are
at present upwards of 90,000,000
sheep and some 12,000,000 cattle in
Australia.
