ABSTRACT OF ADDRESS OF
PRESIDENT GILMORE BEFORE
CONGRESS OF CIVIL ALLIANCE

In his address before the Congress
OF the American civic Alliance. MIR
T. NJ Gilmore of Louisville. Ky,
president of the National Model Ii
ccnse League, said in part:
The people Of this country con.
sumo over twenty-threc gallons per.
capita Cf alcoholic beverages each
year They consume fifty per cent
more whiskey and beer than they
did fifteen years ago when the pres
cnt prohibition wave was started.
The so-called prohibition laws of
Maine, Georgia, Alabama. North Car
olina, Oklahoma and one or two 9th
er states do not prohibit at all
There Is not clause I'm any of
these laws that interferes with men
or boy obtaining all the liquor they
want, prohibition law that really
prohibited would not receive vote
in any legislature, nor could such
q law be carried In a single county,
nor could it secure the endorsement
of the W. c. T. L the Anti-Saloon
League or the prohibition party
This whole prohibition movement
il a fraud. sham, an effort at 20.
l,tical dictation and a gigantic graft
The saloon will be licensed again
in the so-called prohibition states
These states are now flooded with
liquor Drunkenness Is greater than
ever, millions of revenues are rCng
sacrificed, and most OF tn. treasu-
ries are showing deficits.
The saloon of the future. noweycY,
should be a model saloon. II the
saloon is to be elevated II INST be
treated fairly. The saloo1-kecpcr
must be made a free man. rhe u.
cense must be made of great value,
and the penalties must be manda.
tory. Give saloon.keeper H.
cense that can only be taken from
him by conviction of the violation
OF law, limit these licenses in the
future to one for each five hundred
of population; make the license fee
reasonable provide that for the first
conviction of the violation of law
the license shall be suspended thir-
ty days. and for the second convic.
tion, cancelled; and the saloon-keep.
er. inspired by self-interest. will be
of all men the most anxious to
obey law"
Mr. Gilmore pictured the saloon
under Model License as a place of
warmth, of light, Cf music, OF good
cheer, whore men would come with
their families. where current topics
and affairs of government would be
discussed where law, order and
temperance would prevail, and he
declared that such an Institution
would be OF tremendous value in a
complex civilization and would sup.
ply in every particular the demand

Good Bye, Proud Fly.

The chilling blast
At last
Has garnered all your clan.
And there Is not man
That will not laugh and shout
As you go up the spout.
But yet
There's some regret,
Some months ago.
You know,
We were together lots.
We fingered DER the selfsame pots
OF after.dinner cheese
And icy teas.
Although outlawed,
You walked abroad
Upon the table there:
You read the bill of fare
But no selection made
Except to promenade
In manner rude
On all the food.
You tramped upon the trout;
You took your snout
And rammed 1t in the cream.
You didn't seem
To care a jot
For any certain spot.
Upon the honeycomb
You jigged a Ia Salome:
Next YOU exacted toll
Down in the gravy bowl;
You watched your erring sis
In flight amiss
Drop in some coffee hot
Not only that,
You know you sat
Upon the baby's toes
And flew about his nose
And made him sneeze.
And, II you please,
That made him cry.
And bye and bye
His daddy had to trim
His clothes and carry him
Nine hundred miles.
Which somewhat riles
The fire
OF his ire.
And then We put
The tangleioot
Upon the window sill
But still
You hung around
Until this morn We found
Your carcass. white and pale,
Hanging upon the tail
End OF some asparagus;
You touchy cuss'
Good bye,
Proud fly!
We look and feel and know
While you are hanging so
In deaths grip, pale and stark,
You've made your mark

Ancients Wore Sheath Gowns.

It need not be supposed that even feminine fashions can evolve some thing new under the sun. A learned Egyptologist discloses that the sheath gown was popular among the ladies of the Nile 15 centuries before the Chris tian era. One gown was made of fine linen, adorned with elaborate designs. The professor thinks that the slit in the side was intended to display the wearer's precious anklets These an cient ladies also dressed their hair elaborately with puffs and padding. They painted their faces and lips, as shown by rouge and pomade jars. All of this is reassuring to man who may have thought that some of the modern developments of the dressmaker were without precedent in their eccen tricity. Once more is demonstrated the fit coupling of the words "eter nal' and feminine

Cuticura Proved Successful.

About two years ago my eyes got in such condition that I was unable to go about. They were terribly in- famed, both the balls and lids. I tried home remedies without relief. Then I decided to go to our family physician, but he didn't help them. Then I tried two more of our most prominent physicians, but my eyes grew continually worse. At this time friend of mine advised me to try Cuticura Ointment, and after using it about one week my eyes were con- siderably improved, and in two weeks they were almost we'll.

THEIR PLACE OF MEETING
Inference Plainly Set Forth Was Not by Any Means What the Lady
 Dean Meant.

The lady dean of a well-known girls college, being very much an moved that the girls after chapel on Sunday morning waited around the en- trance of the assembly room and stood in groups on the stairs instead of dispersing at once, resolved to in. stitute a reform. So at the regular chapel service one morning she arose with much dignity and made the fol lowing remarks:
 T have noticed a growing tendency among the young women to finger about the chapel Sunday mornings blocking the halls and stairs Here after the following order will be pre- served in leaving chapel: First the president will pass away. Then I will pass away. Then the faculty members will pass away, and finally the stu dent body by classes will pass away and we will all meet below
 It is needless to say why she never finished her sentence.

Diet of the Old.

A sane diet for a person of 10 or 75 should be made up largely of vege tables and fruit, some fish, some eggs a little meat and simple cereals, if there is no inclination toward obesity.
 Drinking with ones meals is not considered advisable, especially as li- quids are apt to wash down the food before it is properly masticated. Two quarts of water. or more, should be taken between meals, however, during the day. Hot water is especially good for one who does not exercise much, as it fushes out the entire system. Stimulants, such as tea and coffee, should not be very strong.-Harper' s BaZar.
