How to Take Care of Piano.

Temperature is one Of the most i'm
pOrtant points TO be considered in keep
ing piano in good condition. Extreme
heat or cold or drafts are as fatal to
the health of the piano as to that Of
a human being therefore it should
never be placed too near a fire or a
window. The best place to choose is
a part Of the room which is out of a
draft and where fairly even tempera-
ture is maintained. The piano should
always be kept closed, to prevent dust
from entering, and even then it ought
to be covered up while the room is be
ing swept. To clean the case never
use furniture polish. \ wash leather
wrung out in warm water is the best
thing The keys should never be
washed, as that discolors the ivory. If
they are stained rub the stains out
with a little lemon juice and salt 1t

MI Rose expressed himself as most

out denied that temperance and nro-
hioitlon are synonymous terms He
1l'eu examples of numerous states
lhat have tried prohibition and re-
turned TO the license system as tbe
most practical way of regulating and
controlling the liquor evil. He showed
oy statistics that the number of ar

MAINE, Is nearly twice as great as tbe |
lumber in Portland, Oregon. He called
attention to Ohio, a state with a nro-
ilDltlon law, and yet one in which anv
nan can sell liquor by paying a tax.
he also cited conditions in Georgia,
ALBANIA, North Carolina and other So
allied prohibition states and offered
lgures from the Government census
nd revenue departments to prove that
ne consumption of intoxicating lio-
ors has increased rather than de-
reased in those states.
The speaker contended that the So
ltion of the liquor problem does not
est with prohibition; that the only
olution is found in the enforcement
strict regulations. He paid a tribute
the law now in force in Pennsyl-
ania. In that state, every person de-
ring to take out license must make

Judge of the court gives notice there
Oh In a newspaper. At this time, any
three freeholders in the district may
lille objections to the issuance of the
license. The issue is then tried and is
decided as other cases are decided in
court. If the license is issued and the
saloon keeper violates any of the reg
ulatory laws of the state, the court
may revoke the license or fine the Ii
censee the sum of $500. In case of a
second conviction, the court has no
discretion, but must revoke the Ii
cense, and the licensee can then never
obtain another license in the state.
Mr.. Rose defied any man to go in
to the State of Pennsylvania at this
time and get any kind of liquor after
closing hours or on the Sabbath Day.
he read numerous reports of city of
iicers to show that less drunkenness
exists in Pennsylvania today than ever
before
In concluding his address, Mr.. Rose
invited attention to the bootlegging
that always follows in the wake of pro-
hibition. He asked his audience If it
We're not fact that whiskey had been
'bootlegged" in Dallas and that young
boys who have never been permitted to
enter the saloons under the license
system could get whiskey now. He de-
clared that if such conditions did not
exist here, Dallas was an exception to
every other dry" city in the country
Mr. Rose spoke with the confidence

knows it WELL and for that reason his
left a decided impression up
on the minds of his hearers. His prin-
3ipal contention was that in dealing
With an evil that has been with us
