Now, by the high school they are giv en an eduactlon that will come In good play in after life, if they are never able to go farther with their school work. By creating this county high school ' fund, the different towns and central ly located places can and will main tain high schools. Under the county hluh school law. a district or town must maintain Its own building for the high school, and It will men re ceive from the county high school fund $40 for each of the first twen ty children, in average attendance, $30 for each of the next twenty emimeu In average attendance, and $12.50 for each and every child in average at tendance after that, and all of this money must be spent for high scheol purposes only. With high schools located in the different towns and centrally locat ed places every boy and girl In the county will be given a chance to se cure a high school education and re-: main, at hnmA. There are in the county at this time many boys and girls wto have completed the eighth grades of the county, whose parents are noi aom t.0 send them away to high school and pay their board and tuition. Also there are many wno are too young to send away from the influence of the home, and by having these dif ferent high schools these children will be given an equal chance with permanent comin.tlee on teinperaiKo of the Presbyterian church of Amer ica. :sho showed how that alcohol was discovered by accident and Incident allv It was diacovered to have a sliui uiailng effect. At f rst it was coi sldcred a cure for disease and ulti mately used as a beverage. But upon Investigation it was found to bo a narcotic and very Injurious to all the t ssues of the body, and that it should not be used either as a Leverage or a medicine. When a few years aio a number of noble wo mu.i in Chicago started a sanitarium in Chicago, prohibiting the prescrip tion of alcohol as a medicine, they were made the laughing stock of the medical profession. ' But the women were right and their institution has not only grown to large proportions to use alcohol, all over the world, but until recently It cured a greater per cent of its patients than any other hospital in America. Recently two other non-alcoholic hospitals hav been established whicli a.e ir.ak.lu a similar record. ! Alohpl creates appetite. This Is 1 one cf Its worst qualities.

Miss Brehm placed avarice. She maintained that the brewers and dis tillers, saloon keepers and every per son interested In the liquor traffic is controlled solely by the selfish mo tive of avarice. She said a certain distiller said to her: "If I were not a distiller, I would be a prohibitionist but money spells power." In Milwau kee a brewery man told here there was more money in the brewery busi ness than in any other business in the world. Incidentally she said be cause of prohibition recently enacted in the central states the large plant of Schlitz Brewing Company which prior to the prohibition move was working night and day, has been compelled to be idle part of the time and tbat some of the unused building had been turned into store houses for the bar fixtures that had been re turned to them from their saloons which, prohibition had driven out.
