Whisky money has become an important
feature OF the financial plan of our national
and local governments, and we recognize
the fact that it could not now be shut of
without serious temporary inconvenience.
But no man of any standing defends its
receipt as means OF needed revenue, al
though thousands say in effect, "you can
not stop the liquor traffic, and we may as
well make 1t pay large sums OF money as n
restriction upon it," Meantime the LIQUOR
sellers chuckle and pocket FIVE dollars pro-
lit for every dollar they pay out; cheap
politicians do the bidding OF the LIQUOR
sellers in lawmaking. and chuckle as they
count up their own consequent majorlties.
Satan chuckles as he sees all of the contri-
buttons to his kingdom.
Eliminate the money issue and the whole
structure falls to the ground, and must be
either rebuilt upon new foundation or re-
main a wreck. There can be no new
foundations for the liquor curse compar-
able for strength with the money that Is
now accepted by governments for this per-
mitted iniquity.
For every dollar accepted by govern
ments in this compromise with inlquity
s2O Is, IN one form or another, wrung out
OF the resources OF the people, and every
days continuance Of this miserable scheme
OF finance adds to public burdens in pro.
portion ms 1t swells the gains of iniquity.
When the American people renew ac-
quaintance with their own courage, they
will recognize their folly in SELLING indui-
gences" and being cheated in the price

-" Literary Dogs.

Some time ago the Kansas City
(Kan. Council passed an ordinance Civ
ing the public library fifty per cent OF
all money derived from dog licenses.
This will amount to about S2500 per
year The membership fee to the pub
lie library is 81 annually. The pro-
moters of the free membership scheme
claim that by virtue of the ordinance
giving the library half of the dog Ii
cense money, the poor people of the
city practically support the library.
They argue it is not the rich people
who keep dogs, but the poor classes.
The license on female dog is So. so,
while its costs 81. % per year to harbor
a male dog. 1t is claimed that ninety
five per cent. of the money derived
from dog licenses comes from the la.
boring people, and, inasmuch as their
money supports the institution, they
think it is no more than right that
they should be allowed free access tc
the library.
The ordinance will provide that when
person takes out a dog license the
city clerk shall issue with it one mem.
bership to the library. Topeka Kan.

Did you ever suffer torment from a
shoe tight in one spot? Here is a
remedy for it. Apply sweet oil to the
stocking where the rub comes. 1t is
better than applying it to the boot,
because it softens the inside of the
boot where it is needed, instead of the
outside.
Sweet oil is an excellent household
companion. It heals burns and
bruises. Used in the form of baths it
feeds the skin, prevents colds and
gives fexihility to the muscles.
Delicate people derive the greatest
benefit from being rubbed with olive
oil, and for fragile children it is in
valuable, especially when there is any
tendency to weakness of the chest.
A soft corn can be cured by placing
a tuft of cotton wool, saturated with
olive oil, between the toes and renew
ing it every day. The corn will very
soon disappear. When the hair is
dry and brittle and easily breaks of
when brushed, little olive oil well
rubbed into the scalp every night will
give nutriment to the hair glands and
strengthen and increase the growth.

Home-Nrade r1avorIng Extracts.

in her own family began some thirteen
years ago to manufacture the extracts
for sale, using the same process, that

she had used when making the ex-
