Few frsternal organizations have tri-
umped over adverse circumstances as
thoroughly as has the order Of the Knights
Of the Tented Aaecabees. Ehe order was
originated In I.cnder, Ons, in 1878, and
for time enibred great prosperity But
there were certain detects In the plans Of
its organizers which rnisAs have proved
fatal. ReorganizaticaIwa was necessary and
was effected In Buffalo Ia 1880. This caused
a split, which has however been happily
healed Probably more credit is due Mr..

than TO any other man fer the order S

Wearing False Necks.

"The use of the false neck is more
common than one would naturally sup
pose," writes Lucy Hooper from Paris.
ut is worn by ladies who are too thin to
look we'll with their necks entirely un-
covered, and also by those who have
delicate lungs and so are forced to keep
the bust and throat thoroughly pro-
tected from the cold.
Il once saw one of these false necks
worn by q Partisan belle who had Just
recovered from a severe attack of inflam-
nation of the lungs. The dress was cut
square in front, the opening (Which was
very wide) being only filled in with a
single thickness Of tulle, slightly frilled
and met at the top by a collar necklace
OF pearls fitting closely around the
throat. Under this slight yelling of
tulle there was visible what was appa-
rently the rose-tinted flesh of the fair
wearer.
But I noticed that after she had in
dulged in a dance and came painting
back to her seat, that part of her chest
which was shown by the square opening
of her dress never moved; it was not
stirred in the least by her buckets
breathing. My notice was attracted to
this phenomenon, and on looking closely
l could see how the thing was managed.
The false neck was in wax, fitting
closely to the breast and met at the
throat by the collar of pearls. Sheets of
fesh-tinted wax slightly softened in
warm water to render them pliahle are
moulded on the wearer's chest and
shoulders by skillful fingers SO cleverly
that it is almost impossible to detect the
deception OF the handiwork.
ut is said that twenty-five dollars is
the charge Of such Identifying. The
princess of Wales is reported to use one
occasionally"

Eli Perkins, Grief for Iowa.

Eli Perkins passed through Sioux City
recently. When asked by a journal re-
porter what news he gathered, he said:
Il was at Ackley nine years ago when
they had seventeen saloons, and the
banks and farmers sent 1925, 900 to the
East annually to pay interest on farm
mortgages. I was there yesterday and
there was no saloon or sign Of a saloon,
and q banker told me that they only sent
interest on mortgages. This is pretty
good for nine years of temperance, isn't
it-three bad crops, too, during that
time"
But some say these seventeen Ackley
saloons gave business activity to the
town." suggested the reporter.
Yes, they did. These seventeen
saloonkeepers were busy from morning
till night. Each one had to send out $50
a day to Kentucky and Peoria for whisky.
The seventeen business saloonkeepers
sent $500 out of Ackley every day to buy
poison from Peoria and Kentucky, or
about 5000 a year. Oh, it kept them
busy-to scrape. up SO much money
the State. Then the poorhouse, too, was
bu~sy-crowded with business-and the
Jail was fuller than the hotel. Yes, it
did make business lively at Ackley, but it
was the activity of a funeral and with
about the same profit"
But the saloons paid license" sug-
gested an Omaha newspaper correspond
ent who stood by.
Yes; but every dollar received by the
town for license went to pay the extra
police. Not a policeman there now, and
not 9 pauper in the poor-house nor q
criminal in the Jail. The only bankruptcy
there has been in Ackley is the bank
ruptcy of the poor-house. Poor old
poor-house, it had to give up business,
and the Jail is full Of cobwebs!
Yes" continued Eli mournfully, tenn
perance has hurt the poor-house and Jail
business in Ackley. 1t has ruined these
institutions. 1t is sad-sad to think of
it. 1t breaks my heart!" And then the
poor %sorrowing man wiped his eyes with
his red bandana handkerchief. After re-
covering himself, he added:
Those wicked Temperance men who
stop business activity, bankrupt our poor
houses, empty our jails and keep those
philanthropic s~aloon-keepers from send
ing $50, 600 a year out of an Iowa town
ought to be punished" And then he
threw cups of water on a poor dude from
the Omaha newspapers who had Just re-
marked:
They are drinking more whisky over
IN Iowa than ever before"

These are the words OF the
THE NEW YORK CONFERENCE.

1t Adopts by a Large Majority Prohloltioh
Resolutions 1t Rejected Two Years Ago.
The New York NJ. E. Conference, held
recently in New York City, had a sharp
debate on the temperance question. Two
reports from the committee were sub
mitted-a majority report, read by hev.
William A. Mackey, tamely indorsing The
principles of prohibition and a minority
report declaring against license in every
form, and for the uncompromising aboll-
ton of the saloon. Seeing that there was
no hope of adopting the majority report
DIR. j. NJ. King offered, as a substitute for
both, the following by the general con-
ference of May, 1883:
ResOred, Fiat we are unalterably OPP
posed to the enactment of laws that pro-
pose by license, taxing, or otherwise. to
regulate the drink traffic, because they
provide for its continuance and afford no
protection against its ravages. We hold
that the proper attitude Of Christians to-
ward this traffic is one of uncompromis-
ing opposition, and while We do not pre-
sumo to dictate to our people as to their
political affiliations, we do express the
opinion that they should not permit them
selves to be controlled by party organi-
cations that are managed in the interests
of the liquor traffic. We advise the mem
bers of our church to aid IN the enforce
ment of such avs as do not legalize or
indorse the manufacture and sale of in
toxicants to be used as beverages.
Resolced, We proclaim as our motto,
voluntary total abstinence from all in
%toxicants as the true ground of personal
temperance, and complete legal prohibit
ton of the traffic in intoxicants as the
duty of governments"
The Resolutions, though bitterly OPP
posed by DIR. E. McChesney and DR..
John Riley Thompson. were adopted by
an overwhelming majority. Two years
were rejected by the conference.

More Light on the Great Plot.

The exposure Of the great political
liquor combinations against the Pennsyl-
vania prohibitory amendment last June,
has called forth universal comment.
Proof-sheets of the Voice CONFERENCE.-The
exposure were sent to the leading Eastern
dailies, and forthwith came to the ears of
MI. Crowell, who so unintentionally had
given the information to Col. Cheves.
At first he refused to affirm or deny the
truth of the statements, but after DELHI
Grafton he hardened up his face and de.
nied it entirely. This was not, however.
until he had written to Col. Roswell
Cheves the following letter, of which the
Voice prints q fac-simile:
"Mr. Rothermal Cheves:
DEAR SIR: l was very much surprised.
after my kind interview with YOU and
giving you the large amount of informa-
ton youdesired, that you did not call upon
me as promised the neXt morning. as
agreed upon, and still further disap-
pointed that you did not drop me a line,
why you did not call or even let me hear
from you since. The conversation we had
was a matter to a great extent of the
strictest confidence, and a part of it
SHOULD be kept secret and not used as l
gave it to you. That a about our
United States Senator. Should YOU
make use of that in connection with nv
name it would do me a great injury, and
IT it gotto his ears would be the means
OF doing your cause a great deal of harm,
consequently my advice to you is to be
very careful and not let the matter get
any publicity. Hoping to hear from YOU,
l an yours, very truly,
H. P. CRowELL."
This letter as we'll as his letter TO w.
Z. johnson, of Nebraska, are both in the
possession of the Voice and are a com
plete refutation to any denial he NAV
make. Since this disclosure was made a
leading liquor firm of Philadelphia.
Moore & Sinnott, have sued Harry p
Crowell and the Pennsylvania State
Brewers Association for 1927, 500 ad.
vanced by them to help make. up a de-
fciency in the anti-amendment fund.
The total deficiency, according to the
Philadelphia Press, was $3S, 600. sOf
this amount 500, 600 was owing to the
newspapers for advertising; si3, 900 to
window book men, engaged to work at
the polls; and $4,000 cash retainer to
Louie G. Cassidy on account Of the
$1,000 promised him for his work in the

Where Pumice Stone Is Found.

We often hear it remarked, and par
ticularly after the eruption of a volcano.
that pumice stone ought to be plentiful
and cheap, as quantities must have
been elected during the volcanic dis
turbance. AS a matter of fact, how
ever, none OF the white stone in general
use is obtained from active volcanoes.
1t comes from the deposits of the article
discovered in II or two quarters Of the
globe. the best Of which is at present
to be found in the island of Lipari, stu
ated in the Tyrrhenian sea. The island
is mountainous in character and consists
OF tufts and lavas Of highly %siliceous
volcanic productions. The district
where the stone is found is called Camp
Blanco or Monte Petalo 1900 feet above
the level of the seal.
