trouble between children and their

that the mother has some female weak

the strain upon her nerves that govern

for her to do anything calmly.

Alcoholic Drink from RIee

The alcoholic drink used in the
province of Che-Kiang, in China, is
made from fermented rice. Fermen-
tation is induced by the addition of
cakes made of wheat meal. An ex-
animation of these cakes by X. Saito
shows that the particles of wheat are
penetrated through and through by
the mycelia of various fungi. Some
seven or more different species were
found. These fungi grow on the moist
ened rice, fermentation follows and a
yellow liquid with an agreeable odor
Is produced.

pointment for Mayor Jones, thru Police
Superintendent Doyle, has ordered all
these places to observe the Sunday rule.
When the Sunday closing order was
first given, there were many who pre-
dicted a general rush to the red-light
district where liquor is sold without
city licenses. They even predicted
bloody brawls and other dire results
because of this rush. But the mayor
has foreseen this and has ordered every
resort keeper in thescity to stop the sale
of all kinds Of liquor between IL O. clock
tonight and Monday morning, at the
time the saloofs are allowed to open.
1t is understood that the prophet OPS
of the places thus affected did not take
kindly to this newest order as they had
planned on reaping rich harvest at the
expense Of the liquor dealers.

now received his notice to do all In his
