Columbus—The Ohio Dry Feder­ ation, having in charge the campaign for state-wide Prohibition, h a s . se­ cured from officials, newspapers, and commercial bodies in states now dry, evidence showing conclusively that Prohibition helps business and labor, promotes public morals, and decreas­ es crime and drunkenness. The tes­ timony is most direct and convincing and is expected to aid'materially in creating, sentiment in Ohio favorable to the adoption of the dry amend­ ment a t the November election. Sere are a few extracts from letters from officials and newspapers in some of the dry states: WEST,VIRGINIA. Governor J, J* Cornwell: “The state has been greatly, benefited by state- wide Prohibitions Crime has largely decreased. Pauperism is less. Labor has profited. .Savings, accounts have materially increased. -.'Health and general welfare of the people have improved and business ,has been ben­ efited.

Labor is satisfied with the new condition, and labor unions arid their ofifcers have giyen public endorse­ ment to Prohibition.” ' ' Wheeling'^Telegraph: “The results have been wonderfully, beneficial, both morally and Commercially.

New; York—The American Medical- Association, with a membership of 81,- 000 physicians and surgeons, is the greatest*medical society in the coun­ try. At its meeting in this city this summer, the following was adopted with reference to alcohol: “Whereas, Wetbelieve that the use of alcohol is detrimental tb,the human economy, and whereas its use in thera­ peutics as a tonic or stimulent or far food has no scientific value; therefore, “Be it resolved, That the American Medical Association is opposed to the use of alcohol as a,beverage; and Be it further resolved, That the os* of alcohol as a therapeutic agent should be further discouraged.” DYNAMITE IS TRICKY, Atm* of ths 8tuff May Remain After a Charga la Exploded.. “I t iB generally supposed t h ^ when a charge of dynamite has ex­ ploded it is all over, that the en­ tire charge has been consumed,” said a “hard rock” -man who has worked in mines, in river tunnels and other places Where high explo­ sives are used, “Tins supposition, however, is not com , t,” he contin­ ued* “Sometimes particles of dyna­ mite will be blown out with tfee bro­ ken rodk. Then i t becomes a n$en- ace to the workmen. “I t is a favorite practice of men who are waiting or resting to sit on a pile of ‘muck/ *# the broken rock is called, and to jab into it with a pick or a candlestick o r some other steel thing, much the same as a Yankee will whittle while he talks or thinks. ^I f the steel strikes one Of these bits of dynamite that has not gone off, because the glycerin in. it has started to run or because a fragment of it has been crystal­ lised, there will be an explosion* Ths Chinees are that not one of the group of men sitting around will es­ cape injury. “Another frequent ^eause of acci­ dents is that sometimes when the dyfiinrite explodes and tears out the took a small quantity of it will be left in the bottom of the drill hole, wffcffccted by the shock. I f the drill hole that remains happens to be pointed in the right direction a lazy drill runner "ia likely to take ad* vantage of it and start his new hole in the old one in order to wake a tsootd or sat* time.
