NO. 15 "DRY" LAWS CUT NATIONAL INCOME Spread of Temperance Movement Shown by Statistics. TAXES DEGREASE $2,000,000 Prohibition In Nine More States Next Year to Further Reduce the Revenue. Officials at Work Devising New Taxation System—Both "Wets" and "Drye" Use Figures as Arguments. Washington.—The increase in prohibition territory and in the number of local option zones has caused a reduction this year of $2,000,000 in the federal government's income from taxes on alcoholic beverages. Nine states are to adopt prohibition next year, and officials say that the situation soon may cause the federal government to revamp its taxation laws and devise a new system of taxation to take the place of the diminishing returns from liquor sources. The belief exists that the 30 per cent of the government's income from the tax on alcoholic liquors will be reduced to 25 per cent in the next two years, due to the spread and the enforcement of prohibition and local option laws. The problem, which involves a radical change in the system of taxation, in existence practically since the foundation of the government itself, is being studied by students of legislation. In the opinion of legislators it is necessary to question with great care and find and measure the raft money for the federal government in place of the lost internal revenue income without placing the burden directly on the people. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Peters in discussing the situation said: "The revenues from whisky and alcohol are over $2,000,000 a year, and this unquestionably is due to the spread of Photo by American Press Association. ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY A. J. PETERS. the temperance movement, and we are preparing to see it continue to diminish from this cause." "The last part of Mr. Peters' statement is based on the fact that nine states from which the federal government delivers a total revenue of over $2,000,000 on spirits and liquors will be "dry" next year. These states and the amounts received from them by the federal treasury are as follows: Distilled liquors Alabama $106,811.22 Arkansas $55,522.32 Colorado $153,323.14 Idaho $153,323.14 Indiana $319,040.63 Virginia $1,753,335.25 Washington $200,704.64 Iowa $61,105.36 Arizona $21,150.36 Totals $2,845,161.90 $2,627,674.90 Total liquor revenue, $2,627,674.90 The government revenues from last year were $202,320,014.51, while the taxes on distilled spirits and fermented liquors amounted to $226,353,141.74. When the Holson resolution, proposing a constitutional amendment for nation-wide prohibition, was under discussion in the house of representatives at the last session of congress the liquor interests laid particular stress on the amount of money that would be lost to the federal government if the tax on liquors was eliminated. Secretary of State Bryan is authority for the tax on liquors about $2,500,000.00 or approximately half of the cost of the Panama canal, is expended annually in the United States for liquor. Treasury officials say this enormous drink bill is dwindling rapidly. The largest liquor producing states, with their approximate contributions to the federal treasury, are as follows: Illinois $30,500,000; Kentucky $31,700,000; Indiana $28,100,000; New York $24,800,000; Pennsylvania $17,200,000; $15,700,000; Wisconsin $820,000; $10,000,000; Maryland $820,000; Missouri $820,000; Massachusetts $480,000; Louisiana $30,800; Michigan $33,000; New Jersey $3,900,000; Nebraska $2,500,000; Virginia $2,000,000; Minnesota $1,900,000. BRITAIN BUILDS NEW SEA GIANTS Six Super-Dreadnoughts Soon to Be Ready. MINES CAN'T SINK THEM. Nine Thousand Men Working Night and Day in Naval Barracks at Devonport—Five Thousand Sailors and Marines Guard Against Attack—Warsprite a $15,000,000 "Beauty". New York—From an American visitor to England, who through merest chance was afforded exceptional opportunity to inspect the vast naval plant at Devonport, a close range description of the secret fruition of the British admiralty's most closely guarded plans for the crushing of Germany on the high seas has been obtained. What is going forward at express speed behind the walls of Britain's navy yards, if it were known to the German authorities, would dispel decisively any Teutonic belief that Photo by American Press Association. WINSTON CHURCHILL, FIRST LORD OF THE ADMIRALTY. miral Jellicoe's fleet intends to restrict its activities to blockading the North seas and keeping the Atlantic and other oceans clear of enemy vessels. Within six months the lists of the royal navy will be augmented by six super-Dreadnoughts and eight battle cruisers from its yards at Devonport and Portsmouth alone. All of these ships will be equipped defensively and offensively more powerfully than any now afloat of their respective classes now afloat, of their one of the super-Dreadnoughts, for example, the arrangement of turrets which is quite new and which permits big caliber guns to be fired broadside and straight ahead with equal facility. Probably all of that class have the same equipment. No fewer than 9,000 men are employed night and day at the Devonport station, and there are always some 5,000 sailors and marines on guard there against attack from without or within—which latter refers to the very real power of the ships. Recently in the house of common Winston Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, stated that Great Britain could lose a super-Dreadnought every month for twelve months without her superiority over the German navy being affected, even if during that period Germany suffered the loss of not a single ship. It is easy to understand the first lord's meaning when one realizes that when six months there will be six super-Dreadnoughts ready to go out of Plymouth and Portsmouth harbors into the battle line. Stories from war correspondents in northern France have already mentioned the fact that British naval guns have been used on land in siege operations against the Germans. Therefore there can be little harm in disclosing the fact that at present a very large number of men are engaged constantly at Devonport in turning twelve, thirteen and even fifteen inch battleship guns into siege howitzers. This operation is performed by detachment guns from its turret, cutting down the gunmasts and mounting it on an artillery carriage of special design and great strength. Owing to the royal navy's superfury of big naval weapons, the number of heavy howitzers now with the British expeditionary force is almost equal to that of the enemy's complement. The following is a description of the super-Dreadnought Warpiste: "Suddenly we—my officer friend and myself—stood alongside a dilapidated looking vessel, which I took to be an obsolete cruiser. My companion briefly introduced this object as his majesty's super-Dreadnought Warpiste, of the Queen Elizabeth class, none of which are commission as yet. "When my loyalties are yet detected and appreciate the wonderful arrangement of her turrets, which I am told, is absolutely new. She can fire all ten of her fifteen-point-fives from the bow as well as broadside on." **Russian Girl Honored.** Petrograd. - A young Russian woman mentioned only as "Mile. G." has been awarded the St. George's cross for fighting in her father's artillery. She is in a Petrograd hospital, wounded. TO PARDON ALL DERELICTS. Many Old inmates of Georgia Prisons to Be Released. Atlanta, GA—One of the last official acts of Governor John M. Slaton, who will be succeeded this spring by Governor Nat E. Harris, will be the pardoning of some hundreds of Georgia's forgotten prisoners, who have been in prison so long that about all their friends and kindred have died. The governor recently visited the state farm at Milledgeville to learn something about these human delicents. As they approached one by one to lay their petitions before the governor they seemed very weary. The governor found convicts who had been imprisoned for twenty-five years or more, learned that their friends were dead, that nobody remains to bring their petitions before the pardoning board; that in fact they human beings utterly forgotten. He knew their them and then had details of their lives and now he is considering their petitions. "Who those I think have pooled," the governor says, "have expiated, really any crime they have done. While I am opposed to maudlin sentiment in paroling prisoners, I found at the prison men who have lived without complaint or violation of the rules for twenty-five years or more. They are exhausted, worn out old people after half a lifetime in prison. They almost have forgotten what it is to have liberty. They are listless, and their faces have lost animation. They simply are very tired. I think consideration might well be shown for them." MISSING LINK HORSE FOUND Discovery of Three Toad Fossil Reported to Scientists. Berkeley, Cal.-The missing link in the evolution of the horse has been discovered in the miocene strata of the southern Sierra Nevadas, it was reported to the Pacific coast division of the Paleontological Society of America in convention here. Berkeley, Cal.-The discovery by J. P. Buwela of the University of California is that of a three toed horse of the merychippus type, said to have been long sought by scientists to fill the gap in the history of the horse. It is said the fossil fits precisely the description of the hypothetical animals which scientists have maintained must have existed in horse history. President Henry Fairfield Osborn of the American Museum of Natural History said that fossils of the merychippus type had been found in the western Dakotas and Nebraska, but not before in California. New York. — "Never again!" This was the whole souled utterance of Rutledge F. Gardner of Baltimore, a seven foot (almost) passenger who went to England in December and enlisted in King Edward's horse and went to France with his regiment. He returned with much experience and a wrist watch. This is his chronicle: "We were sent to France in February, where we mounted at Calais and rode to Neuve Chapelle. There we spent a lot of time in holes in the ground, shooting at an unseen enemy and being shot at ad lib. "As I was a pretty big man I was often detailed as a 'creeper.' They're quite an institution in the service now. The duty of the 'creeper' is to sneak toward the German lines at night to numbers. The way you locate them is by letting them fire at you. You catch the fire at the rifle. Then your side fires at the fasses. It's quite a game, believe me! "A trench fell in on me, and I was sent back to England and there discharged. "The Americans fighting with the English are not very popular. They are called Yanks and come in for a lot of spoiling. In my regiment there wasn't much future." EAT, DRINK, SING FOR PEACE Milwaukee Thirty-niners Organize For Goodfellowship. Madison, Wis.—"To promote the use of the stein, the soothing weed and the story; to induce bosterous laughter and to use such nicknames, terms of affection, handclaps and caresses as will promote good feeling" are some of the purposes of the Society of Thirty-niners.

Another aim of the society is "to calm the rising tide of warfare which may be raging in our breasts by smoking the pipe of peace and smilingly watch our troubles float away." Souvenira Are Valuable London.-Pieces of German shells dropped in December raids at West Hartlepool are so valuable as souvenirs a bricklayer and a real estate agent had a lawsuit over a fragment weighing forty-seven pounds.

NOVELIST DRIVES AMBULANCE Henry Sydron Harrison Learned French and Motoring in Two Months. Paris—Henry Sydron Harrison, the American novelist, has begun his duties as an automobile ambulance driver for the American hospital. His work for the time being will be the transportation of wounded soldiers within Paris, but he hopes to be sent to the front soon. Mr. Harrison went to London from New York two months ago determined to get into the war in some way. He had an insufficient knowledge of HENRY SYDNOR HARRISON. French, so be started a cramming course in that language. At the same time he attended a school for motorcar drivers. Six hours daily were spent learning French from a Belgian refugee and as many more at a school for motorists. Then Mr. Harrison came to Paris to put the finishing touches on his necessary education and finally received his much desired diploma. Mr. Harrison is the author of "Queed," "V. V.'s Eyes" and "Angela's Business," just published. He has also written numerous short stories which have appeared in the periodicals. He was born in Sewanee, Teen. in 1880. DUBLIN LAD, TEN, WOULD BE A COWBOY ASK REPEAL OF DRUG LAW. Habitual Dope Fiends Sand Pathetic Letters to Revenue Department. Washington.-Apples for some relaxation of the rigid anti-drug law are pouring in on the commissioner of internal revenue from unfortunate in all parts of the country. The sufferers find their sources of supply cut off and are becoming desperate. Pathetic and hysterical applications have been penned. None of the letters are being made public, but it is said that the names of some of the epistles would startle the communities in they live. Naturally the commissioner is powerless to do anything other than enforce the law even if he wished to modify the regulations. COLLEGE GIRLS DO MARRY.

WARDEN'S POLICY KINDNESS. New Head of Atlanta Prison Outlaws Lash and Dungeon. Atlanta, Ga.-Prison officers and cops on nine-tale treatment will be outlawed by the new warden of the federal prison here, Fred Zerst, ex-deputy warden of the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., who took charge April 1. Mr. Zerst said that all of the federal prisons had abolished the old time corrective methods and that his policy would be to win over the prisoners through kind treatment. "The best way to treat these men is to make them manhood and sense of right," he declared. "The whippost and the 'black hole' are relays to the past. The new plan calls for close confinement as the usual punishment for infraction of rules, and I feel sure this will accomplish more than any other method." In his trip through the prison Mr. Zerst kept his eye open for the "dungeon" which Julian Hawthorne and other prisoners described, but he deferred after his first tour that he had failed. Then he met whose position Mr. Zerst takes, he maintained all along that there was no such place, and he has challenged his foes to find it. INVENTS PERISCOPE GUN. Philadelphia Man Has Newest Offensive and Defensive Weapon. Philadelphia.—The periscope gun is the newest offensive and defensive weapon brought forth by the modern trench war. Jones Wister of this city has invented a rifle with curved barrel and periscope attached, by the use of which a soldier may remain securely hidden in his trench and yet observe every movement of the enemy and continue dring at will. The inventor is well known socially and as a sportsman. He is thoroughly acquainted with firearms and ever since the war started has been experimenting with his periscope gun. After many trials he finally bent the portion at an angle of 45 degrees and soldiered it to the end of an ordinary army rifle, to the toy mirrors are then attached to the gun. The upper mirror is on a level with the curved end of the barrel. Mr. Wister declares that he can aim perfectly with this contrivance. The process consists in getting a reflection of the object aimed at in the center of the lower mirror, on a level with the marksmans's eye. Then, he says, it is almost impossible to miss. Pleads Gulify Each Year, but Allowed to Make a Grop. Savannah, Ga.—The time is at hand for the annual pilgrimage of the Georgia moonshiner. Today he is up in the hills, tomorrow he will be tried and sentenced, the day after he will be planting his crop in the hills again, the next, setting out for the county jail to serve his sentence. "Bout time for co'r. M'ria," he will say to his wife. "Guess 'M'lla be amblin'. Don't forget to git out them plowshares, an' if any revenous come around' keep 'em off the trail to the still." No deputy maniacs his wrists; no prison guard comes for him. But the old man has received the summons of the United States court to appear and answer to a charge of violating the federal law against the illicit manufacture and sale of liquor. And so the old man should his gigs in his cabin in the hills and tramps down the mountainside to the railroad station twenty miles away. Next week he gets up before Judge William T. Newman of Atlanta or Judge Emory Speer of Savannah and pleads guilty. "Six months," says the judge. "Six hours," says the judge. The old man sighs and remarks, "I'd like mighty well ter go back an' make a lake." The judge knows that up in the hills the old woman and the old man's family of sturdy mountain nids and lassies are dependent on the "crap" for a living through next winter. So he says, "Go back and make your crop and report to the jail on Sept. 1." The old man strides to the railroad station, catches the first train for home and tramps the twenty miles up into the hills again. Winter will be breaking in the hills, and for weeks to come he will be busy planting the crop of corn. Day after day he will clamper the rugged path, bitch the gray mule to the plow and turn the furrows of his little patch. One day he looks into the almanac and says to his wife: "Me an 'th' boys are off to jail terrormow." The next day he swings down the trail to the railroad station twenty miles away. As his head drops below the brink of the path he calls back: "See yer in the spring, of 'woman'" And the next week he is swapping cut plug with the deputy at the jail, having reported to the turnkey's office, alone and unoffered. And next spring? Why, he will be back in the hills again, making his "crap" and manufacturing moonshine on the side. No Gold at Monte Carlo.

POLAND'S TRAGEDY TOLD BY PIANIST Asserta That His Fellow Countryman Are the Only One Who Know the Uttom Depths of What This War Really Means—Brother Fighta Brother and They Destroy Their Own Country. London.—The visit to London of Ignace Paderewski on behalf of the suffering Poles has already resulted in the formation of a great relief committee. Among the members of the committee are Premier Asquith, ex-Premier Balfour, Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd-Gore, Cardinal Bruno, Archbishop of Westminster; Lady Bromley Churchill, Admiral Lord Charles Berford (retired), and the Russian and French ambassadors. The following article was written by the great planist: "Is it the death agony or only the birth pangs? is the question which every Pole throughout the world is asking himself as tragedy follows tragedy in the long martyrdom of our beloved nation. You have only heard IGNACE PADEREWSKI. the details of Belgium, but I tell you they are as nothing compared with what has happened in Poland. "The scene of operations in Poland is seven times larger than that of Belgium, and she has had to endure seven times the torture. Remember, the battle of Europe is being fought in the east, not in the west, and while the title of battle has reached a sort of ebb along the trenches about the frontiers of Alasce and Flanders, the great waves roll backward and forward from Germany to Russia and break always Poland. Our country, in fact, is just Belgium. We called—the cockpit of Europe, it may now be called the battlefield of the world, if not of civilization. "It is only perhaps we Poles who have known to its utmost depths what this war has really meant. It is not only that there are 10,000,000 human beings on the verge of starvation, nay, actually perishing; there is worse than that. Remember that both Belgium and Poland are still under the yoke The Russians, it is true. occupy 15,000 miles of our country, but this is really nothing, for the Germans occupy five-sixths of it, and the desolation passes all comprehension. To actual battles, I can hardly speak of them. It is torture even to think of them. I consider! Our one nation is divided, and we must three sections, which are the ones against the others to work out their own destruction. It is parricide! It is fratricide, nay, suicide! Compulsory suicide! That is what it is. "Listen to what it means to us all: I was told by a gentleman from Austria that an army doctor, a Pole by birth, who was deputed to go by the battlefields and verify identification marks on the dead bodies, found among the 14,000 dead hardly any but Polish names. He looked in vain for any others, and in the end went mad with horror at the thought of it. "Again, in the fierce battle in Galicia during an internal blast, which had been agreed upon by both sides as a monetary armistry to bury their dead and attend to their wounded, the doctors from either side first of all advanced and exchanged cards. Every slip of pasteboard bore a Polish name, while the feeling that ran silently through each breast was the same. Can Poland survive? Is it the death agony or is it but the birth pangs? Today who knows? I only know the present, and unless that present is saved the future in lost." Germany's Defense a Secret. Washington—An officer of an American vessel reports that before entering Bremenhaven seventy Germans took his ship, shut the officers and crew in below with closed ports and kept them that way until the ship was docked. It was to prevent foreigners learning anything of the coast defenses. $2.40 PER YEAR. BLEASEISM ISSUE IN S.C.ELECTION Meetings Held In Each County, and Followers of Governor Try to "Howl Down" Other Candidates — Blesses Promises to Cause All Negro Government Employees to Lose Jobs. Spartanburg, S. C. — a political campaign such as can be furnished only by the state of South Carolina is now in progress. The issue is Blesses United States Senator Elliott D. Smith is opposed by Coleman Livingston Blesses, the stormy governor who kept his state in the public eye for the past three and half years—who, his enemies say, has kept the state in disrepute since being chosen governor. The "biennial circus" has furnished many bitter and denunciatory speeches. For two months prior to an election in this state the candidates campaign in a body. Meetings are held in each of the forty-four counties. Candidates are allowed an hour to present their views. Disorder and chaos frequently attend these meetings, and supporters of Blesses often attempt to preempt their demographics from delivering their speeches so that socialities are common and bitter. Hence the state campaign has come to be known as the "biennial circus." The first primary will be held on Aug. 25. The result of the primary is equivalent to an election, as about 95 per cent of the voters of the state are Democrats. The primaries were Photos by American Press Association. E. D. SMITH (TOP) AND COLE L. BLEASE (BELOW.) inaugurated by Senator Tillman to eliminate the negro vote. No negro may vote unless he voted for Wade Hampton and the overthrow of the carpet bag rule and negro domination in 1876. Thus each negro voter must have been twenty-one years old in 1876 or fifty-nine years old today. Blease in this election is not opposed by Smith alone. Two of the most prominent and successful farmers in the state have entered the campaign, and the governor is forced to face fierce fire arguments from three bitter opponents, L. D. Jennings, a planter and politician, major of Sumter, S. C., and archy of Bleaseism is alding Smith himself to fight the tooverthrow Blease. W. P. collack of Cheraw is a candidate. In the various meetings that have been Blease has continued his practice of appealing to the race prejudice of the ignorant and in a speech in this city promised if sent to the senate to have all negro government employees discharged and their places filled by "Blessasites." When his pardon record was attacked he answered that his friends demanded no explanation from him, and his enemies could not force him to explain. During the three years and six months that he has been governor Blease has pardoned and paroled over 1,200 convicts, and prisons are now almost depleted. Then the governor announced his intention of seeking a senatorial yoga many times and camp followers sought his place. The governor's mansion. As a result in this contest there has been a split in the ranks of the Blease supporters. No fewer than twelve men are running. Perhaps the most unique *p* John G.

The bereaved husband has the sympathy of a host of warm friends in his hour of trouble. The Easter Soirie of Pilgrim Commandery No. 22, Knights Templar, which was given at Bowly Hall, on last Wednesday evening, was a swell-grand affair. The halls were filled with a large crowd of handsomely gowned ladies, among which the uniforms of the gallant Sir Knights showed to a splendid advantage. Owing to the rain the early evening a number of persons were prevented from attending, but the brilliancy of the entertainment was scarcely marred by the furnishings. McCullough's Orchestra furnished the theatre. The success of the affair was due to the labors of the excellent committee of the management namely: Sir Knights W. T. Joyeau chairman; Wm. England, D. D. Howard, J. A. Sayles, A. D. Adams, Jos. Adams, M. L. B. Larkedis, W. A. Benjamin, C. H. Brody, J. Broyles, J. F. Coquire, W. F. T. Chandler, J. H. Sherwood, A. T. Stanley, J. Strawder, O. Taylor. Easter Sunday despite the fact that there was a slight shower in the early morning turned out to be a very delightful day. All the churches were appropriately decorated with flowers, and all held Easter services. St. James A. M. E. church was perhaps the most profusely decorated as the flowers washed by many families who placed them in memory of departed relatives and friends by the evening the annual Thanksgiving service of Pilgrim Commandery No. 22, Knights Templar, was held at St. James. The sermon was preached by Rev. H. P. Jones, there was a large audience. In the evening at Pilgrim Baptist church was a song service of eleven numbers, each of which was the work of a colored composer. The church was well filled and the service a grand success. There were splendid audiences at the other churches and some very beautiful Easter suits were in evidence. There was a splendid audience at St. James A. M. E. church, Thursday evening, to listen to the second annual piano recital of Prof. W. A. Weirs pupils and it was a veritable treat, an excellent menu of musical potpourri was furnished by the twenty-two persons on the program. As everybody knew, there was considerable interest shown in the test, for the auto-coaster that was given as a prize to the one selling the largest number of tickets. The contestants were: Mrs. Addie Bellesen, who sold $15.00 worth; Mrs. E. Irvin, who brought in $15.15; and Mrs. Fashion Williams who brought in $23.30 and won the prize. Total brought in by contestants $35.45. The actual refreshments were served. The procession was a feast of the Sunday School. Prof. W. the officers of the Sunday school, the participants on the program, and everybody connected with the affair were delighted with the success. MADAM L. A. PORTER Mad.

SOLOMON RUSSELL, Manager. The Afro-American Athletic Association. The Blues and the Grays are running about neck and neck this week. The Barkles claim that the Goinses will have to keep moving if they want to win this race. The Blues turned in 14 more new members this week, while the Grays turned in 9. The first official report of each team will be published next Saturday, the team having the largest number of members by that time will be represented at the Boosters' benefit entertainment, by very one present wearing its color on that night. As all the money that is taken in now for membership is placed in the bank until the Association building is open, it becomes necessary for the Athletic Association to raise a fund for promotion purposes. A number of members of the Association have formed a Boosters' Club and are working with the entertainment committee on a benefit which is to be given on the 19th of this month. Never before has so much interest been taken in a movement among our people as it is now in the Athletic Association. No doubt we have begun to realize what our duties are to ourselves and fellowmen. May this spirit of Friendship continue and may we all continue to uplift the race. WHERE THERE IS UNION THERE IS STRENGTH. H. R. Crawford, Gen. Sec. THE MUSICIAN ARTHUR WHITE.

Never before has that get-together spirit been shown by the Negro men of the clty as it is now. Apparently they have seen the necessity of UNION AMONG MEN, and are taking a step forward in their progress. ‘The example set by the twenty-seven men who were present at the get-together banquet on February 15, and who pledged themselves to co-operate with their fellow men in the uplift of owt men and boys in the city, has beer taken by 100 men or more. A larg¢ per cent of this number have already paid part of their initiation fee fo1 membership in the Athletic Associa tion. ‘The membership committee is mak Ing a thorough canvass of the cit and are meeting with great success At the McCracken banquet on las Monday evening, every man presen was signed up for membership, bring ing our membership list up near th 100 mark, With the present amoun of interest continued, St. Paul prom Ises to have as fine a Colored Athleti Association as there is in the west. ‘The Negro is his own salvation, an through him must come the solutioi of those problems that have to d with bis race.

PAUL Professor Charles Frederick Chana- ler of Columbia University, a well known chemist, YWeclares that beer is the best brain food. In @ recent ad- dress he said: “Beer is a beverage prepared from barley, water, hops and yeast. Beer is food.’ American beer contains 6 per cent solid food, only 3 to 4 per cent alcohol and also lecithin, which “is real brain food. Beer and bread both made from cer eals; bread with water and is solid; beer with more water and is liquid. Yeast converts both into palatable and readily digested’ food. Both contain alcohol. Beer is not’ intoxicating in ordinary quantities and beer is one of the foods that is free from bac teria. It is appetizing and aids di gestion.
