A WORLD UPRISING AGAINST ALCOHOL In France there is on foot a temperance movement led by. the . strongest newspapers, with the ap- , proval and adherence of many , public men. Early in the war one ( of the worst of alcoholic beverages. ] absinthe.' was suppressed by the j French Government, but other J kinds of strong drink are easily obtained and their nse is prevalent. The French movement aims ' ehieflv at bringing the sale and i use of liquors under regulation by i a more effective kind of licensing, i a prohibition of the. stronger kinds 1 of liquor that are heine subetitut- • ed for absinthe, and a sharp limit- 1 ing of the hours during which 1 drinks are-sold. There is no move- « menf in France against the mak- j ing, vendin". and oHi»i«>ry use of ] domestic wines, in which the per- < eentage of alcohol is not great. But t there is likely to be a strong effort < made to diminish the nse of distill- 1 ed liquors, and to regulate much i more strictly the whole drink traf- i fic, including the wine shops. Nev- i er before has France shown sugh__f aerionsnpss of moral purpose -^and < it is believed that permanent sociWh changes for the better, are taking j roet. 1 The agitation in England, how- f

" ever, is just now the foremost i topic in the Worldwide movement against alcohol. It is hard for Americans who have not witnessed the thing themselves to realize the extent to which the working classes in the British Islands are ad- ] dieted to drink, and the immense political and social power that the liquor traffic has long exercised in the United Kingdom. This traffic, together with the , landed aristocracy and the established church, has been one of the three chief supports of Conservatism. But England is gradually ; taking the war seriously ; and the foremost military and civil authorities find intemperance a They have even declared that the drink question was important enough to amount quite possibly to thp difference between and failure in the great struggle. The use of drink can, of course, be controlled in the army training camps, though stern have had to be used to protect the enlisted men against the Drunkenness of the civilian -environment. Of. late, the drink nation has been 'discussed from. Mbe standpoint of the efficiency of industrial workers. England is great numbers' of ships, and making all kindB of munitions

and army and navy supplies. British workmen in shipyards, dock laborers, factory employees making guns and a hundred other things, are more concerned about short hours of labor, union rules, their endless potations, and their | sports, than about the nation's welfare in this time of crisis. — From "The Progress of the World." in the American Renew of Reviews for May.

MEXICAN FIBER FOR THE COUNTRY'S HARVEST A serious calamity recently threatened the agricultural industry hecausp of the disturbance in Yucatan and the announced blockage of the port of Progreso hv Gen. Garranza. The harvesting of | practically all grains with modern machinery was involved. If the port of Progreso had lieen closed it wonld have been impossible to ii nuuiu nave open impossible to

secure the sisal fiber used in the manufacture of binder twine. It was urgent that this filler be secur- . -d immediatelv and come forward 1 in large quantities by the 1st of ' April, otherwise the factories could not have manufactured it in I time in sufficient volume for the | n«e of the farmers in harvesting 1 this season's crop. Tt wonld have ( been n»cessarv to harvest hv hand, and to have harvested a large part of the grain in this wav would have been impossible. The matter . was so serious that the President 1 and the See re* a rv of State, on ren- j resentatjons from the Department ] of Agriculture and the Depart-, mpnt of Agrienlture and the Department of Commerce, took- the j matter mwindv hand. At the j rennest of flip President Gen C*c- 1 ' r«nza abandoned the blockade of tfie nort of Progreso. I Tn normal »«r« about 200.000.- f 000 no„nds of twine are re- * o ni red for harvesting the grain. f «orn. and flax erons.

■ pected to be still larger. Nine hunk dn-d million bushels is the ysti- ■ mate if normal conditions prevail r from now to harvest. It is probat ble that the production of the i, other grains, especially of oats, r will also be increased, and the oths er crops, the sorghums and corn, - will at least lie the equal of normal e years. r The disturbances in Mexico have already caused an appreciable shortage in the stock of fiber now j in this country. Between January 1 and February 28. 67.489 hales of 350 pounds each were brought in ' as compared with 156.659 liales in - the same ncriod'last year and 111.i 654 in 1913. If the further sup- - plies had been permitted to he cut " off the lack of twine would have " | resulted in the loss of a very large ' 1 portion "of the crops in the verv : ' year when they are most needed. , I In commenting upon the situation • the Secretary of Agrienlture said ' ■ . that thi situation was vastly more 1 serious than it was in 1912. when ! • a threatened shortage of twine re- 1 suited in a sharp rise in price from ' 7 to 12 cents a pound. Then it : was a matter of price: if Progreso , were to be closed. this year it ( I would lie a matter of actual scarei , ty which would result in the waste ' of a great part of the crops.

MEAT PRODUCTION I Receipts from grazing permits - on the National Forests for the i season of 1915 will contribute to i the public revenues approximately - $1,200,000. or about $200,000 more , than last year, according to an esI timate made from the allowances just authorized by the Secretary ■ of Agriculture. The forests this ■ year will furnish forage for 1.983,775 cattle and horses. 8,747.025 ' sheep and goats, and 64,040 swine, f the figures indicating a material 1 increase of meat production on the 1 government-regulated ranges. The increase of 92.656 cattle , and horses over the allowances for I 1914 is accompanied by a decrease [ of 120,881 sheep and goats, sliow- ; ing that in many parts of the West sheep are giving way to cattle. It is thought that the recent high price of beef has been encouraging many farmers and former sheepmen to go into the cattle business. though it will he the first time in the last five years that the allowance of sheep has not in creased over that of the previou* reason. There are localities, how ever, where the demand for sheer is far in excess of the supply. The grazing charges are slightly higher this year. In the West tb« rates have been fixed at 48 to 9< '•cnts per head per year for cattl and horses, and 12 to 18 cents foi sheep and goats; in the East the rates are from 85 cents to $1.50 for cattle. $1.10 to $2.00 for^liorse* and 25 to 40 cents for sheep and goats. Pips nay from 29 to 43 cents in the West and 50 to 90 ! cents in the East^ The grazing allowances indicate . •he relative importance of the , stock bsuiness in the various parts i of the West in which the National j Forests are situated. The Forests District 2. which embraces Colorado. Wyoming. South Dakota, -j western Kansas, north- t era Michigan, and northern Min- 1 nesota, are allowed the largest 1 number of cattle, 522,550 head, and next to the largest number of J 1.397.500 head; District 4, o comprising Utah, southern Idaho. n | western Wyoming, eastern and

central Nevada, and northern Arizona, the second • largest nums her of cattle, 431,150, and the i largest number of sheep, 3,335,3 860; District 1, comprising Monr tana, northwestern Washington, e northern Idaho, northwestern - South Dakota, and southwestern s North Dakota. 193.510 head of cat- ,* tie, and 1,304,500 head of sheep; s District 3, comprising Arizona - and New Mexico, 418,900 cattle, j and 905.800 sheep; District 5, em- . bracing California and southwest1 era Nevada, 212,280 cattle, and ; 508.050 sheep ; District 6, comprising Washington, Oregon, and . Alaska. 159.250 cattle and 1.280.- . 500 sheep; District 7. which ?n- , eludes Arkansas. Florida. Oklahoma. and the states in New Eng- . land and the Southern Appalachian region, where forest reservations have been purchased hv the ^ government, 46.135 cattle, and 14.- . 850 sheep.

N0THIN6 BETTED FOR WEAK IB "I Never Spent Any Money That Did Me So Much Good as That I Spent for Vinol." _ Bellefontaine.Ohio. — "I. wish every tired, weak, nervous woman could have Vino) for I never spent any money in my life that did me so much good as that I spent for Vinol. My nerves were in a very bad condition, making me very weak, tired, and worn out and often drowsy headaches. I had tried cod liver oil, doctor's medicines, and other preparations without benefit "One day a friend asked me to try I did and soon my appetite increased, I slept better and now I am strong, vigorous and well and can do my housework with pleasure."— Mrs. J. F. Lamborn, Ballefontaine. Ohio. Hereout weak, tired, worn-out women should take Mra. Lamborn 's advice and try Vinol for there are literally thousands of men and women who were iormerly run-down, weak and nervous, who owe their good health to Vinol, blood making, strengthening Influence of tonic iron, contained in Viool, which makes it so efficient in all endlxaaee.
