Trig Waist Line.

The question of keeping the shirt
waist trig about the waistline is one
that always is a matter of concern to
the particular dresser A satisfac-
tory way of bringing about the de-
sired result is to wear belt of web
bling, an inch or an inch and half
wide, directly under the outer skirt
band, fastening it with a buckle. This
enables one to draw the band as
tightly as necessary, so there is no
possibility of the waist itself slipping

 As to the material prosperity of any town or city in which have ever seen local option tried, it has been the sal vation of that town or that city. In fact. we only have now about four or five towns in the state with saloons. They are Reidsville, Salisbury, New bern. Wilmington and Winston Salem, and these towns are positively the deadest towns in the state. with less progress and prosperity.
 Saloons were voted out of Charlotte. our sister city about four years ago, this being the largest city in the state. I heard one of the largest real estate owners there who rented several build ings to saloon keepers say that his property was for sale at cost, because he believed that local option would kill the town. syndicate of gentle men very promptly offered to take all of his holdings. and accept his proposi- ton. but he backed down. Instead of local option hurting Charlotte, real es- tate and business from that day to this has been advanced by leaps and bounds and today property is worth four times what it was the day local option was voted into effect
 We have been so accustomed to these arguments pro and con in this state that it is a well settled opinion now among business men that the ar gument from a business standpoint is all on one side on the local option

PROHIBITION WORKS
 IN MASSACHUSETTS,
The Steady Spread of the No-License Area.


 Area.
 The temperance wave that has been moving lover the south has struck Massachusetts. For many years this has been a local option state. Each town Ctownship) and city and city de- cides by vote each year whether it will have the open saloon. The number of saloons is limited to one in each thou sand of population. except in Boston where one to five hundred is granted In the cities the elections are held in December, separate from any national Or state election. The towns vote in the spring. This annual battle gives fine opportunity for a beautiful fight. In most localities the Protestant min lSters take an active part. and in some the Catholics come in. The spring and winter elections of 1907 show I30O0 more votes cast against the saloon than for it. This is the best showing the state ever made. There sare now fourteen cities, and seventy two towns that favor license. while eighteen cities and 249 towns shut the saloon out. In Massachusetts it requires a population of l2O00 to secure a city charter. There are now thirty three cities and towns with more than 5000 population with nO-license. No state can equal this as to large communities. One of the de- lightful surprises was that Worcester the second city in population, having about 10000 people. went " no" by a fine majority, the fiyst time in sixteen years. Lynn. the largest shoe-town, also cast out the evil thing. All this has been accomplished without any po- litical party work The prohibition party casts less than three per cent of the vote of the state. The good cit izens simply said. This one thing I do." and they did it.
 CRIME IN A WET CITY AND IN A
 DRY ONE.
 Boston, Mass. iS the nearest large city to Portland. Me. says Clinton N. Howard. a three hour ride on a good train. It has the most stringent sys tenn of regulation and the highest of any large city in the country.
 For every 10000 of the population, Boston has 426 arrests for drunkenness. and Portland has S4.
 It costs Boston s3 per capita to police the city. and Portland s105.
 It costs Boston 29 cents per capita for jails and Portland cents.
 And comparing prohibition Maine with licensed Massachusetts, for every 10000 population Massachusetts has 33 criminals in the penitentiary and Maine has 13.
 So that prohibition Maine shows only one-third of the criminality of licensed Massachusetts.

We haV~ three thousand population here in a new town, and it is building up every day. The charter forbids the sale of intoxicant drinks We have one police man for the town. and he is also tax collector. and order is as near perfect here as it is possible to have it. We have two drug stores; one of them sells liquor on prescriptions, but our prescription laws are very stringent. and prescriptions can only be legally given to patients of licensed physicians by the physician having charge of the case, and he must certify chat he con- siders liquor absolutely necessary as a medicine, so y.e have little or no trouble on this score.

Dear SIR Your work has all
been received your bill approved,
and by this time we have no doubt
you have received your warrant on
the State Treasury for the amount
due you.
We have carefully gone over
your work and we can sincerely
congratulate you on the splendid
showing you have made for your
county, both in the matter of the
agricultural and kindred branches,
and especially as to the manufact-
uring and mechanical industries.
People generally look upon it as a
matter Of course that DeSoto coun-
ty can always show up magnifi-
emily as to soil products, stock
growing, etc, but few people, even
in our own state, have the remot-
est idea of the extent and value of
the industrial progress and enter
prise existing and in daily opera
alton in your county.
In the publication, by this de-
partment, Of these industrial Stats
tics, classified by counties, your
county will get the best advertise
ment that is possible, for the re-
ports ofthis department are in de-
mand and are distributed through
out every state in the Unioh, and
to every civilized country on the
globe Manufacturing industries
are looked upon by the world as
the index Of prosperous and pro-
gfessive condition of affairs. and
are always sought after by persons
who are looking for favorable To-
cation In which to make future
business arrangements or for the
creation of new homes.
Realizing the value of such re.
port as this 70 your county, we re-
greet very much that the state can
not pay more. for it is unquestion-
ably worth it. Your board Of coun-
ty commissioners could well afford
to add very substantial sum to
the amount paid you by the state,
and If you feel that our opinion of
the value of your work as we have
expressed it in this letter, would
be of any assistance to you in get
ting your board to make an extra
appropriation for your benefit, we
have no objection to your showing
them this letter. Once brought to
theiar attention, we have no doubt
they will readily realize the advan~
tages their county will receive BY |
