Spokane, Aug. 31.-"The nations

that might properly be applied to ].
B. Towill, of Batesburg, S. c., execu-
tive head of South Cardinals famous
state liquor dispensary system. Mr..
Towill was in the city as a guest of
the National Association of Railway
Commissioners, having selected this
method of spending his vacation from

Indicating tn volume of the liquor

to the maintenance of various de-

years to come, despite the bitter op-
position of the prohibition and saloon

THE strongest argument in favor
of dispensaries is the substantial
manner in which the state profits
financially. There is absolutely no
comparison between the revenues to
TO the state under the former license
system and the sums it derives from
its dispensaries. Ten to one in IA
vor of the present practice Is about
the relation of things financially, and
there are other arguments in favor
of the system, perhaps the principal
being that it eliminates the desire
to encourage the sale of liquor.
Didn't Stop Liquor Drinking.
81 would not say that the dispen-
saries have discouraged the drinking
of liquor. In some districts this ie
certainly the case, and the fact has
been recognized by everyone. In the
cases of other districts there seems
to be little diminution in the amount
of liquor consumed. OF course, 1t
goes without saying that dispensaries
do not encourage the consumption OF
liquor, and that there has been no
increase in the habit of drinking in
the state since dispensaries were es,
tablished.
Briefly, the system is that the
state opened dispensaries in every
part of the state for the sale of liquor
and forbade its sale by any Other
person throughout the commonwealth

TAUGHT TO SAVE PENNIES.
University Of Nebraska Will Have a
Uniuue Department,


Unique Department.
Young women students at the Uni
versity of Nebraska are to be in
structed in the art of properly spend
ing money. The idea is borrowed in
part from Ames, Ia, where Profess
sor George Witter has started new
courses in the domestic science de-
partment. Representatives from the
university have visited Ames, and
say that it will cost 100000 to estab-
fish the desired department.
There is some puzzling as to why
so large an amount is required. There
have been hints that possibly Miss
Bouton, who is in charge of that de-
partment, proposes to expend it for
a miniature department store, with
experimental courses in shopping, but
she disdains reply to that sugges
ton.
Miss Witter has been doing some
missionary work along this line. She
says that it is of more importance
to a young woman to know the chem.
istry of food and it's value to the hui
man body than to be able to name
the bones of that body.
She insists that the girls have no
time at present to learn at home the
things about housekeeping and mar
keting that their mothers can teach
them, owing to the demands upon
their leisure of society and the
schoolroom. In college it is prac-
tically impossible to do so unless they
are taught in the classroom.
If present plans are followed, some
thing new in the educational line may
be looked for. Not only is it proposed
to be able to equip a woman to know
without bitter experience what kind
of meat she is getting, of what value
it is as food, and what is proper
kprice to pay; but she will be taught
to distinguish between cotton and
wool fabrics, between all wool and
shoddy. She will be taught some
thing about articles of wear, about
articles of adornment, about articles
of food-in short, the aim will be to
equip her with general idea of val
ues such as is possessed by those
who make business of buying for
large establishments. This knowl-
edge will be impaired by means OF
demonstrations and lectures.
