No Alcohol or Dangerous Drugs. Be Jot Gt&a

A CUP OF COFFEE A GLASS OF BEER A recent and interesting contrast has been drawn between a glass of beer and a cup of coffee. Coffee contains caffeine, a drug which, like strychnine, codeine or morphine, acts as a stimulant when taken in minute doses but as a deadly poison in larger quantities. Of coffee's food properties little can be said unless, perchance, the coffee drinker add a loaf of sugar to his cup. Beer contains from three to four per cent, alcohol. In addition it holds in solution the highly nutritious qualities of the grain from which it is brewed and the tonic properties of the hops, added to give it flavor. Alcohol, when taken in temperate quantities, is not without its healthful effects. It has been scientifically demonstrated that . a certain amount of alcohol is generated in the stomach to act as an aid to digestion. The effect of alcohol on the nerves is soothing. The contrast between coffee and beer is a sharp one. The former whips up the jaded nerves only to leave them more shattered than before. Beer, the latf ter, soothes the nervous system and imparts to the body the valuable food which it contains. : INDIANA BREWERS ASS'N

by hiiubkiit natrijn. LONDON", pt. 2 4. In these days when Great Britain Is at -war and the censorship of the press bureau allows the Knglish to know little of what Is really going" on, the air is filled with scores of wild rumors, for which there is no ground. Women and children throughout the country are being needlessly frightened by brainless scar-monKen?. A typical -var scare, the alleged presence of a huge secret German army in Kngland, is contained In the following anonymous letter published today in a London newspaper: "After reading the many letters In your columns on this subject, and even with the probability of raising a lauch at my own expense among many of r.iy incredulous and easy-going countrymen, should the whole or any portion of this letter appear in your columns, I can no longer refrain from laying before you certain information that has come to my knowledge, and which bears upon the question. Loathed German Customs. "Somo years ago I became acquainted with a German, One day. in course of conversation, he told me he never intended to go back to Germany, that he loathed the name and everything

connected with the country; its tyrannical and brutal systems, the underhand way in which he knew she was dealing with France and England, loth of which countries it was her aim and ambition to crush at favorable moments. "For these reasons, principally the first, ho intended to become an American citizen. In America ho would be a free man. I had lost sight of him for four or five years when again I met him about the beginning of last month. We lunched together. Over a cigar and coffee, he suddenly said: 'France la in for trouble shortly, your country also, in the not distant future. Germany is about to realize her dream of crushing France, after which it is to be your turn.' I laughed and told him that she might have a chance of crushing France, which I doubted, but that she had not a ghost of a chance against our navy, therefore could never bring an army to these shores. "lie replied very seriously, and as nn T ran remember to this effect:

'Don't be too sure of that. I have a brother in Germany, holding a high military post. It is from him I got my information; he has been boasting a lot of late of what is going to be done, I am telling you this, knowing that it may he to his disadvantage, but there is no love lost .between us, neither have I any cause to be grateful to Germany. I have many English friends. I like England and Englishmen. Bur your people do irritate me sometimes; they are so incredulous and so very self-confident, but they make up for these in their dealing. If it were not for their incredulity, I would go myself to your foreign ofiice and tell them all I know, but I should only be laughed at and promptly shown the door. I am, therefore, telling you in order that you may go, and coming from an Englishman it should have some weLght. I hope it will and that your ministers will profit hy it. They can have no idea of the tremendous preparations being made, nor of the millions of men being got ready.' Kmrlisli Confident. "I told him I could not take him seriously, that if I went to the foreign otlice with such a story they would not Relieve it; that they had warnings of this sort of thing so often that thev attached no importance to them. AH Englishmen felt very confident that Germany had more to lose in a war than England had, and also that the kaiser could never land an army here. "This remark brought this startling reply: "Oh, what a lot of innocents! Why, there is already here in London an army of at least lOOvOOO trained soldiers and at least 1 50,000. in other parts of England, with arms and ammunitions hidden away in convenient places. All are picked men, sworn to obev a -ven signal. That signal -would be given when transports bearing German soldiers were anywhere near our shores, so that toeing attacked .back and front and taken unawares they had even' hope of success. That the men comprising this army were employed In banks, brokers' oHlces, foreign and English hotels, rentaurunts, baiters and barbers, and servants in private families, etc; that there was a largo number of ppie.s some in high places, of hoth sexes, Fomo acting as tutors and governesses, and who -were constantly running backwards and forwards, carrying valuable information, documents and plans; also many carrier pigeons and wireless telegraphy were being used; that this had been going on for 15 years by naturalized and unnaturalized Germans; that most of those who had become naturalized had done so to make their task easier; that the kaiser's visits were dimply to gain knowledge and to allay suspicion that he had taker, a residence here in order that he mljrht in touch with the heads of the conspiracy living here, many of whom moved in the best society, and would, therefore, be above Fsupicion; that it was a bz problem we had in front of us, but that we should polve it if tho warning were taken in time. "I listened patiently until he had finished, and then again told him that It would be useless to try to get such a etorv "believed; that I should only be classed as another alarmist with a 'German invasion' on the brain. Warns l-Ticnd. "lie finished up with the warning that If what he told me ever came to pass to get rid of all Germans or to get them under con rol somehow without loss of time; ro search systematically such quarters as Soho, tho East End.'N. W., and S. E., of London and to do the same in the provinces: not to be satisfied with a superficial search, but to sound walls and burrow underneath lloors, and plenty of

Letter is Received Here From National Conference of Charities and Corrections. All Asked to Join Movement.

Miss Carrie Rein, secretary of the Associated Charities, is In receipt of the following letter from Mrs. John M. Glenn, president of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections, regarding the day of prayer for peace In Europe which, at the request of Pres. Wilson, will be observed all over the United States on Oct. 4: To the Members of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections A Personal Word: Since the president has through proclamation called on the people of the United States of America to pray for peace and has set apart Sunday, Oct. 4, as a day of prayer, does it not devolve on us to make response, members as we are of an association which for 4 2 years has in spirit served the cause of peace hy a devoted study of rifht ways to further the well-being of the oppressed? May we not, recognizing as we must, that though suddenly the horror of war stalked forth, the spirit of latent war for long has threatened every household, offer in spiritual union the prayer: That a rightful and an abiding peace speedily be procured. That every nation, in humbleness of mind, be brought to study its own history, in order that it may see what germs lie embedded in its past deeds that are now bearing, or may bear, If uneradicated, the hideous fruit of war. That in the framing of treaties of peace, the welfare not alone of this generation, but of the generations to follow, be borne loyally In mind, so that no seed may now be sown to bear in the years to come an inevitable and a devastating harvest. Furthermore, may we not reflect upon the work that lies before us, and pray: That in the several parts of this country wo may further the peace of God: By hopefully carrying the increased burden of need at home. By generously doing our part to lessen the burden of desolation abroad. By courageously striving to maintain the work to which wo now committed. By finding right ways to further the work of world-wide readjustment. Fellow members of the National Conference of Charities and Corrections, let us on Oct. 4 add our prayers to tho nation-wide prayer not alone for a speedy cessation of war. but for the coming of an enduring peace which shall be the fruit of the spirit. Yours faithfully, MARY WILT.COX GLENN. New York, Sept., 1914.

UP DOMES!

Hold First Meeting in Kitchen of Coquillard School Under Vocational Training Law.

should not be able to give it if asked, for giving me this Information would cost him his life if it were traced to him. Ho was returning to America in a few days and might never come to England again. "Now, sir, all this was told to me by a man who had no axe to grind. If at the time It was given I attached too little importance to it, it should now be put to advantage. It Is another very strong argument against allowing these many thousands of aliens, naturalized and unnaturalized, to remain longer a terrible danger in our midst. I enclose my card. I am, sir, yours faithfully."

That the woman who takes upon herself the responsibi ity of maintaining a homo is in a great need of systematic or technical training as the professional business man, is the idea emphasized in the vocational training Law for women which has just gone into effect.. Efficiency is tho keynote of the movement. It means tho opportunity for every woman and girl to become a capable and thoroughly accomplished housewife, from the schoolgirl to the wife who has never had the means of training. At its first meeting Wednesday afternoon in the kitchen of the Coquillard school, the married women's domestic science class registered 10 members, with the certainty of three or more members at Its second lesson next Wednesday afternoon and the probability of a greater increase as women begin to hear about the innovation. An organized class of married women for tho purpose of learning the science of housekeeping is a decided novelty. Only the recent consideration given the necessity of sanitation and hygiene in the homo as the surest means of counteracting disease, has succeeded In arousing tho housewife to a realization of her own inefficiency. The common desire of tho 10 womn who have already had considerable experience in housekeeping, yet who feel themselves handicappd by an ignorance of the cheapest and most efficient methods, when they registered Wednesday afternoon, was that of adding to th-?ir knowledge of what is best for the home, not only in the kitchen but in the parlor and tho bedroom. Teach "irousokec-pbog". Domestic science aa formerly taught embraced merely the science of cooking. Today It embodies every phase of housekeeping from the scientific method of preparing a meal to the nutriment and health of the body, to the simple task of scrubbing the kitchen floor or polishing the windows. The classes new formed are calculated to prepare women for practical housekeeping and to aid them in lowering expenses in the maintenance of a home. They are conducted almost entirely on a unit basis so that those who are unable to take the full course of lessons may be given enly two or three or as few as they desire. The maid's class endeavors to fit the girls as much for their responsibilities in their own homes as in that of their employers, they are trained with that in view. In the effort to give working girls the advantage of vocational training, educational officials are striving to interest employers and induce them to allow their girls at least two hours each week in study. There has been little responso as yet, but it is believed that as the movement grows and greater inducements are brought to bear upon factory officiate they will be constrained to aid in the campaign for efficient homemaking. Besides, tho maids' and married women's classes on Tuesday evening and "Wednesday afternoon, there are two teachers' classes on Monday afternoon at the high school and Elder building, and two classes organized by the Catholic club which meet on Monday and Wednesday evening a the high school building. Other classes may be formed on request. Domestic science: work in South
