not screen off its very door IS if she
were ashamed to own such a room.
1t is to her the most important in her
home, as is evidenced by the secured
pots and kettles and by all her little
efforts at identifying.
Her closet shelves are covered, not
with manila or lace paper, nor with
painted oilcloth, but with homespun
linen resembling our coarse crash.
This is fastened by a few b%uttonholes
slipped over some small china knobs
at the back of the shelf.
The cover hangs down, lambrequin

and it is on this fall Of linen that the
German pots, pans and kettles are re-
produced in cross-stitch in a nice
Delft blue to match some Of the plat

rows on the shelves. The patterns
appear only at intervals, and the lin

Canine Intuition,

A railroad eating house in Southern
Georgia, which enjoys the reputation
of being one Of the worst places of
it's kind in the State, has an ancient
darby who announces dinner to the
incoming passengers by ringing a
huge bell.
One day the old negro was accom-
panied by a sad-eyed, long-eared
hound, who at the first ringing of the
bell, lifted up his voice in a most dis
NAL howl.
The old darby stopped and gazed
at him for a moment, and with a
Hush yer mouth" started ringing
again.
Again the old hound with nose in
the air sent forth a long-drawn howl.
This was too much for the bell
ringer, and, turning on the hound, he
remarked:

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF INTEMPERANCE.
Steel Trust Hands" Must Cut Out
Drink.

Steel Trust Hands" Must Cut Out
Drink.
The United States Steel Corpora
ton has takeE a determined stand
against its workmen drinking liquor.
Within the past week, says a Pitts
burg dispatch, there have been posted
In all the big mills of the Pittsburg
and Ohio districts notices that work.
men once entering the mills to work
will not be allowed to leave until
they are through their days work.
There Is no reference to BOOZE" but
the managers and superintendents
speak their minds plainly.
The corporation has found that
much time has been lost daily by the
workmen leaving for a few minutes
to 90 out and get a drink, perhaps
several times a day. In addition to
this those in direct charge of the men
say they do not do as good work
when they are allowed to fill them
selves with drink, and so the order is
imperative.
The order permits of but n class
of men leaving the mill. Those who
live near the works and who have
been in the habit of going home for
their meals will be permitted to con-
tinue this, but they will be allowed
to go only at meal time, when they
will, have special permits issued to
pass guards posted at all the exits.
Quietly. too, the men who take their
meals at home have been approached
and asked not to take a drink while
they are out for their meals.
The corporation appears to want to
run the mills hereafter on a strictly
temperance basis. Numerous in
stances Of spoiled work in the past
few years have been traced to work
men who have been in the habit Of
going outside for their drinks at any
time they felt like. it. Until now
neither corporation nor mill bosses
have objected.
Many men have been discharged
in the past week. on being found car
rying liquor into the mills in bottles.
The new orders do not affect the
men of the big Pittsburg mills as
much as those of the outlying or
country mills where the saloon is
found near every mill door.
Youngstown, Ohio, was the first
place the notices were posted, as the
| drinking there had been very gener-
al among workmen. Sharon. New
castle, McKeesport, Duquesne and
! Homestead mills are more or less af-
fected.
Not only is the corporation barring
drink from its mills, but it fought to
make Youngstown a local option
town Colonel lanes Wick. the
Youngstown steel king, and a large
holder of Corporation stock, who has
been considered as the representative
of the Corporation in that part OF
Ohio, financed the fight against
liquor, a fight in which brother was
arrayed against brother, and in some
cases father against son. 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 was spent by
the two sides in the Youngstown fight
alone.

Temperance Notes.

Do the saloon keepers believe that
the LIQUOR traffic is right?
During the late local option cam
paign in Posey County, Indiana, the
women "drys" ran a prohibition
daily paper.
In West Virginia, there is, in the
"dry' counties, but n convict Tor
every 1922 of population. In strlk-
ing contrast Mcdowell County:
which is "ret." shows an average OF
one convict foG every 100 Of popula-
ton.
Liquor selling in England was pro-
hibited as early as the reign OF the
Saxon King Edgar, who closed nun
dreds of ale houses.
Nebraska's new daylight saloon
bill. to 90 into effect July 6, forbids
the sale of liquor except between Z
o'clock in the morning and s in the

Rack For Lids.

The tidy housekeeper finds the
many lids of pots, pans and kettles
needed in the kitchen a problem to
arrange with any degree Of order and
neatness.
They cannot be hung up, many of
them, owing to the shape, will not lie
in a pile and they are woefully In
handy in the dresser drawers.
A bright woman to whom the lids
were as the hosts Of the evening has
now solved the question in a way both
easy and inexpensive.
She got a length Of strong wire,
stretched it across the pots and pans
shelf by means Of a couple Of nails,
and on this the lids accompanying all
the cooking utensils are neatly ar
ranged. The wire supports them
perfectly, and the eve ROY Of shiny

A Maine Paper's Comments.

It is strange that men should be-
lieve that they can stop the progress
of omnipotent and eternal good.
Human thought swings back and
forth like a pendulum, but unlike
the pendulum it does not measure
exact distances with both strokes.
It's backward stroke never goes quite
as far back as the last one went,
and it's forward stroke goes forward
a little farther with each swing
than it went before. This is due to
the influence of the principle which
works constantly for good among
men. 1t is not probable that the
progress nov being made toward the
elimination of the liquor traffic will
be maintained at the rate it is going
now. We are reaching the hours in
human history when the forward
stroke of the pendulum is taking US
into the very best days the world
has ever seer in its effort to rid it.
self of the greatest evil with which
humanity has to contend. 1t fol-
lows, since human thought vacci-
lates, that there will be a retrograde
swing, but the pendulum will never
go back to the time when the saloon
predominated in all our affairs, and
the tools of the traffic were the
chosen servants of the public. And
when again the forward stroke
comes we may be sure it will mark
a still greater distance than that
registered to-day. The parasites up
on u civilization, who spend their
energy in laboring to the end that
the liquor traffic may be in the as
cendant in Maine, may read the hand
writing on the wall. The Dirigo
State will take no backward step
under these circumstances.-Port-
