BOTH PROHIBITS AND PAYS.


II has been claimed that prohibition
does not prohibit and that It does not
pay Are these claims true?
Take the case of Iowa as am exam
pie. Two-thirds Of the total area OF this
state is prohibition territory. OF the
ninety mine counties seventy-one are
dry-with this exception. Ia a few dry
counties there are towns where there
IS local consent. OF these saloon towns
in dry counties there are just ten, as
counted. The total population OF the
dry counties is 1893. 4s6; Of the wet
counties, 9t656L The total number Of
voters In dry territory Is 253.63l. Of the
wet counties. 167527-a majority OF S. -
1O2 for prohibition.
In all OF the "dry cities" the law Is
well enforced. Notwithstanding some
recent. slight troubles IN Centerviue
and Abba, two mining towns, which
are now again quiet, prosperous, and

Atlantic. a fine little city of over 5000.
when the saloons were voted out two
or three years ago the business men
were bitterly in opposition. IL was
predicted that the town would suffer
in prosperity. Exactly the opposite
result has followed and many more
are now converted to prohibition. They
say that their lodgers are free from the
bad accounts OF the old days. Custo-
mers whom thy would not trust for
merly carry accounts Of from $50 TO SIS.
Wages and salaries that once went into
the saloonkeeper's cash register now go
to the clothier, the butcher. and the
baker.
Ia Atlantic one OF the newspapers
that fought against prohibition is now
one Of its strong supporters.
These facts are vouohed for by G. A.

An authority on cleaning gives this
information: To bleach white ostrich
feathers use peroxide OF hydrogen

which add three tabiespOOnfuls of am.
monia. The feather should be entirely
covered with this solution and allowed
10 remain in it overnight.
Take out In the morning, and. If not
thoroughly cleaned, the process should
be repeated.
Rinse in clear water, and il a blu,
ish tint is desired the feather should
be again rinsed in slightly blued wa
ter. Hang up In air to dry and then
curl with the blunt edge of a knife.
