W. C. T. U. NOTES
Of the 1,700 .or more dry
counties in the U. S., not one
is bankrupt. Cook county
111. in which is located the
great city of Chicago with
more than 7,000 saloons is
bankrupt, according to the
president of the board of
county commissioners. Cook
county finds it impossible to
pay her debts and these debts
are constantly increasing. She
is controled by the saloon
politicans and saloon interests,
which accounts for her bad
financial conditions. Saloon
politics and salo’on interests
are always corrupt and Cook
county 111., has them to thank
for the plight in which she
now’ finds herself What a
bout Ketchikan?
A bill is now before Congress
introduced by Representative
Richmond P. Hobson, provid
ing for an amendment to the
Federal Constitution prohibit
ing the sale, manufacture for
sale, and importation for sale
of beverages containing alco
hol.
A scientific Fact.
“ What ever may be thought
of the injustice of the innocent
suffering for the guilty, Moses
was absolutely scientifically
right when he spoke of the
sins of the children being vis
ited upon the children of the
future generations. Eighty per
cent of the ills the human rase
is suffering with would be
eliminated could we rid society
of liquor and the social evil.,,
Rev. W. H. Head.
“Few people understand,”
says Col. Mervin Mans, M. D.,
“the far reaching effects of
alchol on the family and the
race at large. The effects of
alchol on the intellectual and
andi mental faculties generally
have been made the subject of
most exhaustive study and we
find all of them lowered, even
through it's moderate use, be
sides it’s mental effects, it is
largely responsible for the dis-!
eases of physical degeneracy J
which arc located in the brain, |
nervous system, arteries, liver, |
kidneys and digestive system, j
From the tables prepared on
heredity it has been noted that j
the children of drinking par- J
cuts frequently suffer from ,
forms of nervousness and er- ;
’’aticism besides the more ser- j
ions diseases and conditions of
degeneracy.”

BRITISH CONSOLS.
Origin and History of This Faatura of
English Securities.
Almost all the debt of England
consists of the funded debt, so call
ed, and the greater part of this is
made up of “consols,” which is
an abbreviation of “consolidated
stocks,” and the price of consols is
the financial pulse of England.
Consols were created in 1752 by
statute 25 of George II., chapter
27. But no scrap of paper ever rep
resented a consol until, to facilitate
commerce, in 1870 a statute was
passed allowing the government to
issue certificates to represent them.
The property that all the world
asked the price of every day was
unrepresented by any monetary se
curities until 1870, and even now
very few certificates have been is
sued.
Now, this is a consol, and this is
its history: Originally some one had
loaned the government £100, and
the government had caused his name
to be enrolled on its books as a
creditor, from whom it had received
that amount and to whom some day
it might, if it chose, repay it. It
need never do so, but until it did it
must pay him an annuity of £3—
that is, he received 3 per cent on his
money as long as the government
chose to keep it, but the govern
ment could pay it back at any time
it chose to do so. This creditor
then owned a consol—that is, he
owned such a debt from the govern
ment as just described.
If he wished to transfer what
rights he had—that is, his 3 per
cent per annum—and the right to
his £100 when, if ever, the govern
ment chose to return it, he could go
to the Bank of England with his
transferee and receive the purchaso
price from him, and the stock would
be transferred to the man paying
the consideration and that man’s
name would be placed on the gov
ernment’s books in the place of the
former owner and thereafter the
transferee would receive the £3 a
year and the £100, if it was ever
paid back. But no paper passed ex
cept the receipt for the purchase
money which was given by the buyer
and which the bank official checked
with a red mark.
These receipts were not certifi
cates of ownership and were seldom
preserved, never except for pur
poses of identification when the new
owner went to draw his first divi
dend. After that they were de
stroyed. It is true in old the
