In fact they were regarded as chimer- ical until the German airmen appea ed with a squadron and compelled counter action which confirmed Gen. Kitchener’s foresight. Now squadrons fighting in the alr are common. The aeroplanes have been great aids as scouts for locating the enemy, and as destroyers of munitions of war and means of transportation near the front by bomb throwing; but the effective- ness of aeroplane-defence armament has compelled the Zeppelins to fiy from 2,000 to 3,000 feet higher than they did at first to escape destruction. Now the aeroplane Is recognized as an aid in the present drive, for it not only locates the enemy trenches and makes the curtain of fire more effective, but it comes down to a height of 500 or 600 feet and bombs the enemy troops when engaged, greatly aiding in driving the enemy baclk.

In 1915 the American drink-bill for alcoholic beverages fell off 112 million dollars, or 200 million gallons; and nobody went thirsty, but saloons must have failed and the government and cities of the country have felt the falling off 4y license fees.

The nation's Hor coffee was over 203 million dollars for a billion and a half gallops; and the tea-bill over 32 million dollars which peoduced over 644 million gallons. Here is 235 mil- lion dollars for non-spirituous table drinks, It is probable that the bottled goods and roda fountain sales of soft drinks amounted to one billion dollars more. This shows in a low year our drinks cost us approaching three billion dol- lars. or four times the amount of m ; our preparedness appropriation of 700 million dollars. It talkes a great stream of fluld wealth to stimulate and refresh Uncle Sam’s 1dren. ABOLISHED AT LAST. Congressmen are debarred from sending out any more free garden seeds.
