Last Winter was an unprecedented one in the history of Lake Placid. A gre&l undertaking was launched and the success attending the initial steps toward developing winter sporls and winter business received an impetus that should not be allowed to decay or perish. Another winter is close at hand and something should be in the way of preparation for a tition of iast year's events. We note from exchanges that other places are active in winter sports preparation and one village in partic- ular offers a valuable suggestion in gran Is Jone epe- arranging a masquerade ball and fill- rink. Just such an event here would be in keeping with those enacted from time to time last winter and would be an appropriate bcginnn.i; lor the fostering ot winter festivities.

WATERTOWN WANTS HIGHWAY THROUGH TO TUPPER LAKE To secure, if possible, the con- struction of an improved highway entering the Adirondack region from the western side, the board of direc- tors of the Watertown Chamber of Commerce has referred the matter to the good roads committee of the Cham -- c r of which Frank A. Emp.sall, president of the Watertown Automo- ^iie Club, is chairman. At present there is r.o practical highway entering the Adirondacks be- tween LJtica on the south end Maione , TI „ , \ ' m th e North, the western slope not buster parade for Halloween, the pro- be ; T1R . anyw here entered by a traver- ceeds to go toward support of skating { -able road, with the result that auto- nomies and other travel *,hrou£>'h Ike v'oods i.s diverted many mile-^.

VON BUNGE, of Ger- many.) Think of the madness of the whole process. Yearly, giant masses of our most valuable nutritive substances, grains, fruits, berries, are thrown to these yeast fungi to devour. The fungi devour this yeast and what they leave, their poisonous excreta, is collected in vast quantities, stored in bottles and barrels, sent intG all countries, distributed among al! men. And now, day after day, all the organs and tis- sues of the human body are flooded with this poison, even those which se- crete the germ cells, and EO the uni- versal weakening is carried down into all succeeding generations. With half measures we can accom- plish nothing. Only the most radical means promise any success whatever. Our aim is the total prohibition of the production and trade in all alcohol- ic drinks. Our real our chief enemy, is the giant capital which is laid down in the brewing, distilling and liquor-sell- ing trades. If prejudices still rule among us it is because this capital controls, directly or indirectly, the \Vhole press, and does not allow prop- er information to get to the people. Such horrors as a great modern joint-stock brewery perpetuates are unrivaled in the whole world's his- tory'. Men in past centuries were made chattel slaves. But the slaves kept their health. Men have been killed by thousands. P.ut the children of the murdered remain strong. Now they raake slaves of them and mur- der them at.the same time. They kill them with their children and their children's children. They kill them slowly; they torture them slowly to death. WHITMAN FOE OF EVILDOERS! His Public Career Has Won Approval of All Other Classes, Charles Seymour Whitman, whose public services successively in the cor- poration council's office as youngest member and president of the board of | city magistrates, judge of the court of general sessions and especially as dis- trict attorney met with approval from almost everybody except the evildoers, was horn at Norwich, Conn., Aug. 28,* isoa His father was a Presbyterian minis- ter, the Rev. John Seymour Whitman, his mother LIHie (Arne) Whitman. His early education was received in the public schools of Norwich. He was graduated from Amherst in the class of 1890. lie found it necessary upon coining to New York to study law at New York university to support himself by teach- ing at Adelphi academy, Brooklyn, and at Pratt institute. Fie received his LL. B. from New York university In 1894 imd began practice there as bead of the firm of Whitman. Deane & Brower, in the mean time becoming active In the city's political affairs. He held no political office for seven years, when he was appointed by Mayor Low as assistant corporation counsel to George L. Rives, an office,he held from 1901 until Mny- or Low appointed him a city magis- trate in 1004. The board of magistrates shortly after was the target for many attacks against the integrity of certain of its members, resulting In a public cam- paign for magisterial reforms, of which Magistrate Whitman was one of ihe most strenuous leaders. He was made president of the board. His flection to the office of district attorney in the fall of 1909 was the beginning of a career as public prose- cutor that brought him not only local but national fame. It is not necessary here to recount the details of bis pros- ecution not only of ex-Lieutenant Becker anci the gunmen in the Ilosen- tlial case, but of the subsequent prose- cutions of corrupt police officers.

The average tax rate : j in the 22 wet cities is $19.L S S JUT tliou- j j sand of assessed valuation. The tax [ rate of Wichita (50,::22 population) is j $15.50; that of Topeka (45,478 popula- j tion) is given as $13.10. The current rate of the latter, however, including city, county and state, is but $10.50. Only eight of the cities in license states have a less rate than Wichita; none has a smaller rate than the cur- j rent rate of Topeka. Although Topeka j stands at the bottom of the list on pop- j j ulation, only two cities show a larger j j assessed valution. \ For any itching skin trouble, piles, eczema, salt rheum, hives, itch, scald head, herpes, scabies, Doan's Oint- ment is highly recommended. 00c box at all stores. | Delaware and Hudson R.

DANGER OF MODERATE DRINKING, j Twenty years ago medical science j discovered that the Vviiite blood cor- [ puscles are the guardians of the body, j defending it against disease germs. It j has been proved that even alcohol! through its narcotic effect paralyzes j these defenders and makes them pow- j erless to destroy the invading foes—• j this even after very minute doses of j alcohol. Moderate drinkers are, it is j well known, prone to diseases of the j liver. This is because alcohol inter- feres with its functional.duties. Physio- logical science tells us that the liver destroys much of the poisonous waste matter generatf-d in the body. When alcohol is taken into the system the liver, it seems, goes to work to elimi- nate that first. The power of the liver being limited, gome of the other work is left undone, %vaste matter returns into the blood and disease is the re- sult, Every, Woman AND YOOilj; WOMAN is cordially invited fto s%e my display of FALL AND WINTEX MILLINERY I have just returned from New sonally and I can assure my patron; three very distinct features: Fiist, ond, it is substantially made of the 1 moderate in price—more so than York, wftere I made selections per- i and friends that my millinery has t is strictly up-to-date in style; sec- est of material; third, it is VERY might expect. AN INDUSTRIAL BENEFIT The Reyman Brewery represented one of the big industries of Wheeling, W. Va., before the state went dry. The wets pointed to it as one of the great concerns which temperance would destroy, thereby throwing men out of employment. Instead of de- struction, however, came transforma- tion. The Reyman Brewery has been changed into the Reyman Packing company. Additions to the plant cost- ing at least one hundred and fifty thousand dollars are being built and it will employ 400 men. The brewery employed 40. EDUCATION AND SALOON MONEY. An American saloon worker was trying to persuade an Irishman to vote for the saloon by using the threadbare argument that if you close up the sa- loons and cut off the revenue, it will be necessary to close the public schools. \And then what will your boy do for an education?\ \Well be- gorrah,\ said the Hibernian, \I'd jath- er have my boy learn his A, B, C in heaven than to be able to read Latin in hell.**—Vanguard. WHAT L5QUOR DID, During a temperance campaign in a certain state the proprietors of the breweries published in a local paper the following notice: \x\lexander the Great drank beer and conquered the world before he was thirty-two. Per- haps he might have done it sooner if he had not drunk beer, but you'd bet- ter take no chances.\ Shortly after- ward the same paper published the following as a rejoinder: \Alexander the Great died in a drunken debauch at the age-of thirty-three. You'd bet- ter take ro-<chaacea.\ M. M.
