Beauty an Explains Internalfiexenue 6om- iissiim loner's Report 616 SLUMP IN RETAILERS Alto Decrease In Breweries and Dis­ tilleries—Government Now Collect­ ing About All the Tax on Whisky, Whereas Prior to 1916 Distillers De­ frauded Uncle Bam Out of Millions of Dollars—Other Reasons-For Fig­ ures of Last Fiscal Year. Washington, D, C.—According to the report of the Commissioner of In­ ternal Revenue, nearly 7,000 retail liquor dealers and more than 700 wholesalers went out of hp: mess per­ manently during the fiscal year of 1916, Also, 40 breweries, "GO distil­ leries, and 29 rectifiers phut up shop for good. But liquor men point to an increac,n in the taxes paid on whisky for 1 !)!•'’> as compared with J.915, and asser that while there are fewer producer* and sellers, the consumption is in­ creased, regardless of the spread o' the dry area, and that figures prove the contention of the wets that Pro­ hibition does not prohibit. But this liquor claim is p'unetur. 1 by David A. Gates, Deputy Commis­ sioner of Internal Revenue. Wheb asked as to the possible cause for tho increase shown by the tax receipts from liquor, Mr. Gates said that the government is now collecting all, or practically all the tax op whisky, whereas prior to 1916 it did not do so as the distilleries fraudulently with­ held largo sums .due Uncle Sam from this source. Mr. Gates ’does not know if the additional amounts collected in 1916 equals the increase shown for that year, but thinks that the routing out of the frauds cart be credited with a big part of the increase. Ctlier factors to which part ofihbi increase may be attributed is the big increase in the population of cities and the unusual prosperity Which i always results in individual indulgences. I t is quite certain that the liquor interests are not satisfied with the showing of the Internal Revenue de­ partment, even if the revenue figures on the surface give them something to ta lk ' about.' They are worrying over the decreased’ number of brew­ eries, distilleries ahd saloons, as well as the constant spread of the Prohibi­ tion area. URBANA BANKS BOOM Prohibition Has Proved Beneficial to Ohio City, - Urbana, O.-—(Special,)—A strong argument for state-wide Prohibition may be found in comparing the assets of the three building and loan associa­ tions of this city for 19Q7, the last year the town 'had saloons, with 1916 . Tn 190? the assets of these three financial institutions were $816,431, as compared with $2,520,402 in 1916. Urbana has three national bahlcs. The last year the saloons Were la operation, these throe banks had de­ posits amounting to $974,451, „whil 6 the statements of December, 1916, show those deposits have -grown to $1,376,155. WILD WET STATEMENTS Facts About Kansas Brought Out In Senate Debate, Washington, D. C.—Not only in the liquor press, but even on the floor of the United States Senate are some wild statements made on the wet and dry quostion. In ft debate, Senator Martino, of New Jersey, quoted some misstate­ ments about Kansas to the effect that in 1913 90,000 gallons of whisky we-o shipped into Topeka. Senator Curtis, of Kansas, in reply read a telegram from the county clerk of Topeka, whose official duties require him to keep a record of all shipments, show­ ing that instead of 90,000 gallons, the amount was, 2,675 gallons, a shrink­ age of 93 per cent. A CITY WITH A RECORD- Peoria, Illinois. (Special.)— This city-is famous as the great whisky producing center of the United Stales It is also famous in other respects, Elmer Brodrnan, Assistant Superin­ tendent of the Peoria House of Cor­ rections, is quoted in the Journal of this city as saying: “Of every 100 persons we receive, 99 come filled with whisky. They are attracted to Peoria by the saloons and Peoria housewives fall victims to their pleas for i-ornething to eat. These bums flock where they can get whisky and live without working." Drunkenness on increase. Poitsmouth, 0-—(Special.)—Drunk­ enness has greatly increased in this city during tho phot .two years, ar, pu­ lled records show. In 1914 there were 122 arrests for drunk, drunk and dis­ orderly, and disorderly conduct. Tn 1916 the total arrests for these causes were 1,402—more than double that of 1914. The saloons dieregard restric­ tive laws and the dryn declare Cie ‘.wople nro so disgucted with condi; dons that the county will f ive a m.-- orlty for otate-wido Prohibition hi November, ' ’ ■ Hard to Reach. Rome men’s meanness consists of their stinginess with their means. When they give up fhelr meanness they will be willing to give up more of their moans. Such men, however, arc pretty hard to convert. *\*> FRANK L. JOHNSON, Attorney and Couriselor-at-Law XENIA, OHIO. Office over Galloway A Cherry. w~ LESSffl (By E, O. sn iff,B K 3 .

BBSSON -Itcad John 14: SCRIPTURE 1-14. (SODDEN TEXT-Jcsus qallh unto him. I am tlio way, tho truth, and the life, no man comoth unto tho father, hut by me. —John 14:8. The purpose of John’s gospel Is re- venled in John 20:31. It was to prove that Jesus Is the Christ, the Son of God, and to i>rove it In such- a way that men might believe It In their hearts, and thus obtain, through that belief, eternal life In ids name. There, fore the best method of review for the lessons of the past quarter would be to go over the lessons one by one, and find out how it is that tills great truth, which brings life to men, is Il­ lustrated In each of the several les­ sons. The object of such a review should be to make Jesus as real to us as if we were with him and his disci­ ples, and could realize that the "Word is now dwelling' among us, full of grace- and truth, giving daily of Ills ful­ ness and "grace for grace." (Ch. 1 :14- 16), Jesus is "the way,” the way to heaven, the way to all that is high­ est and best 1 on earth, the way of life, the way to the Father, the goal of all human aspirations, the way out of all human darkness and sin, the way to holiness aiid to God. Jesus is also the truth, the revealed truth about God. Jlc revealed tho forgiveness of God for the sins of men, the right way,of liv­ ing. Jesus is the life, the'source of life, tlu- life itself, the true life here on earth, and the eternal life which is to abide forever. Thus our entire, re­ view centers about .Tesus Christ. It would be good to have a map chiefly of the vicinity of the Sea of Galilee .to use hi this ■review*. Lesson I. Jesus, the Life and Light of Men. This is the central truth of the gospel. Note-the pre-existence ol .Tesus Christ as the-eternal Word, "In the beginning with God." Then again .we see it us plainly showing forth of declaring him to be God. We see him also* as the Creator of ail things. Lesson II. John the Baptist. Tldi . is a lesson of John’s testimony to Jesus us the Son of God; also that JeSus was the Lamb of God, eternal, pre-existent, the One who- was baptized by the Holy Ghost, showing us the real nnfure of Jesus as the Word of God. *Describe who and what he was and did that made him the perfect Savior. Lesson III. -The First Disciples ol Jesus.' Andrew and Philip discovered the Messiah of whom .Moses and the prophets did write, and revealed him unto Nathaniel, who discovered in Jesus the Son of God and the King ot Israel. Relate how JeSus found these disciples, their names and their char­ acteristics, and why'each one was espe­ cially fitted for his particular work.. Lesson IV. His Father’s House -Tesus, manifesting himself as the Son of Gml, the Father, was the Ruler ol God’s house, and drove from it those who defiled it by making that house v. house of merchandise. j Lesson V. The Savior of the World Jesus, us tho only begotten Son of Got! can give eternal life to those who be­ lieve on 1dm. Describe the character of Nicodetnus, What it means to he born again, and what is meant by be­ ing born of water and.of the spirit. Lesson VI. Tho Woman of Samaria ’Jesus declared himself to this woman as tile Christ, and also as the giver of eternal life; therefore ho was God. Referring to the last lesson, emphasize wlmt JCsus meant by his reference tc Moses and the brazen serpent, and bring out the fact tliat the water ot which ho speaks is the gift of everlast­ ing life. ♦ . Lesson VII. The Nobleman's Son Jesus made Ids glory to be seen a sec ond time in Cana of Galilee by healing sickness although not present at the bedside of the sick one. Healing and faith ure co-partners. — Lesson VIII, The Pool of Bcthesda Again Jesus manifests his power by healing by his bare word the man who had been infirm thirty and eight years, and who was utterly helpless and liope^ less. Bring out how tho man showed Ids faith. Explain why Jesus should say to him: “Sin no more Jest a worse thing befall thee,” Lesson IX, Five Thousand Fed. 'Di­ vine power multiplying the loaves and fishes, and divine prudence In assemb­ ling the fragments rcvcffls the unques­ tionable, creative net of the power of Jesus Christ as perhaps none other of his miracles. Emphasize the part (Which the hoy played in co-operating With Christ. Lesson X. The Bread of Life. Jesui­ ts the Broud of Life as well as the gLv- er of everlasting life. Ile js the Bread of Life which Cometh down from heav­ en, and the one going to whom we shall never hunger nor thirst. Lesson XI, Jesus Saves From SIh Jesus, the Light of the World, has pow­ er to set men free from sin, and “whom the Son shall make free Is free in­ deed." In this lesson \ve have the slav­ ery of sin and the freedom of’ believ­ ers. True faith Is lmllt. upon facts, and those who accept and believe on these facts linve “everlasting life.V Abundance Keep Cheerful. Let us all try to do at. least one good deed each day and keep a cheer­ ful face, oven If things do go awry.
