Rockford "Wets" Say That Prosperity
Has Not Come with Prohibition, as
Claimed by the "Drys."

ROCKFORD, H., March 31-T Spe-
cial. 1.-The statements printed extensive

brought greater prosperity to the city
are hotly denied by the local 'wets -
The Wisconsin 'drys" who have been
working to make several big Wisconsin
cities no license have referred frequent

looms two years ago. The license people
of Rockford, however, deny this and
have issued Il statement that prohibition
has seriously hurt the city. The charge

CARP PROTECTED IN OHIO.
Catch from Lake Erie Melted the Fisher
men 100000.

The much despised German carp OF
twenty years ago has come into his own.
Last year there were 100000 pounds
of carp caught in Lake Erie and the
tributary river, which brought in the
handsome sum of 100000 to the lucky
fishermen. Twenty years ago the carp
was depised by all fishermen and a bill
was introduced in the Legislature to
pay a royalty for his determination.
NOW bill has been passed to protect
him. 1t was made a fine last week by
the present Legislature of Ohio to catch
carp under 10 inches in length, and the
fisherman who undertakes to market
carp under that length is liable to be
hauled before a court of justice and
heavily fined
This law. however, applies only to Lake
Erie and the rivers which flow into it.
Carp that are to be found in other
streams in Ohio have been found to
lack in size of the lake fish.
The German carp, which is the only
carp to be found in the state, was first
introduced in Ohio twenty-five years ago
and his development was slow. 1t took
several years for him to become accli-
mated to the waters of the rivers and
lakes, and only in Lake Erie and It's
contributing waters has he ever devel-
oped into a marketable product 1t
has been found to be n prolific breeder
and in the last four or five years has be-
come one of the most important CONNER
cial fish along the lake front.
The bill just passed by the Legislature
also has reduced the size of white bass,
perch and other fish that may be mar
keted, it having been found that net
fishing IS materially reducing the produc-
ton of fish of all kinds.

ROSY COLOR
Produced by Postum.

when a person rises from each
meal with a ringing in the ears and
a general sense of nervousness, it is a
common habit to charge it to de-
ranged stomach.
Il found it was caused from drink
ing coffee, which I never suspected
for long time, but found by leaving
off coffee that the disagreeable feelings
went away.
Il was brought to think of the sub
ject by getting some Postum and this
brought me out Of trouble.
ut is a most appetizing and invige
Grating beverage and has been of such
great benefit to me that l naturally
speak of it from time to time as OPP
portunity offers.
"a lady friend complained to me that
she had tried Postum, but it did not
taste good. In reply to my question
she said she guessed she boiled it
about ten minutes. I advised her to
follow directions and know that she
boiled it fifteen or twenty minutes, and
she would have something worth talk
ing about. A short time ago l heard
one Of her children say that they were
drinking Postum nowadays, so 7
judge she succeeded in making it good,
which is by no means difficult task.
The son of one of my friends was
formerly pale lad, but since he has
been drinking Postum, has fine color.

Care of the Teeth.

Do not be spasmodic in their care.
Remember a little cleaning every day
is better than scrubbing to the gum
bleeding point when you happen to think
of it.
Never experiment with tooth powders
or whitening lotions Your enamel may
be ruined before you learn they are not
what they are advertised. Get a relia-

Clean the teeth after each meal, If
possible; before going to bed without
