They say a soft answer turneth

Not long ago a Scotch teacher gave
this advice to her pupils: If you have
cholera or scarlet fever In the house put
some onions under the bed and they
will sweep away all the disease" The
onion proved its virtue In O. remarkable
way forty years ago when cholera ragged
throughout London. 1t was noticed
with surprise that one OF the most In
sanitary districts was almost exempt
from the visitation. The majority Of
the inhabitants, being Italians, were
great onion eaters, and strings of this
vegetable were found suspended from
the ceiling of nearly every room. The
medical officer of health concluded that
the onion, among it's many virtues, con
tains a powerful antidote against
.holera-morbus and possibly other dis
eases.

The earliest state laws were
those in Connecticut, adopted in
1889, which left the matter to
local option. New York adopt
ed similar laws in 1s46, Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island and Yer
mont In 1852, and New Hamp-
shire in 1855. After these Del.
eware. Indiana, Nebraska, Mich.
igan, Illinois, Iowa, North and
South Dakota. Kansas intro
duced prohibition into it's consti-
tuition in 1880, and South Caro-
lima adopted the dispensary sys
tenn in 1892.
Prohibition bills were defeated
IN Texas, Oregon, Tennessee and
Pennsylvania. After varied ex.
periences all these states of the
Union which adopted state pro-
hibition repealed the law, with
the exception OF Maine. Kansas,
North Dakot1 and South Carroll
ma with its dispensary, the great.
er number of them adopting in
stead local option, so at the be-
ginning of this year there were
80 states operating under local
option laws.
1t is said that Kansas practi
cally has local option, no attempt
being made at concealment for
over a decade; though some
claim that this is true ouly in
the large cities. The same con-
dition is said to exist in the other
states having prohibition. 1t
was just this condition that led
New Hampshire to repeal prohi-
bitory laws and adopt local op.
lion in 1903 The condition in
Maine at the present day is thus
described by an ardent upholder
of prohibition: "The Maine law
is enforced in many of the coun.
lies, wherever, in fact, the peo-
pie demand it,"
And now Georgia, the Empire
State, of the South, is adopting
state prohibition. Will she sur
pass all her sister states in driv
ing alcoholic drinks from her
borders? Will her latest statute
be reduced to the category of
nominal law onlyg Or will she
finally repeal it, as have fifteen
OF her sister states? These are
questions which many serious
men are pondering to-
day.
