The Personal Liberty League

In our childhood days nearly
all the churches had temperance
societies whose aim was to keep
men from falling into the drink
ing habit. At the present time
the churches do hardly anything
in that line. They work through
the Anti-Saloon League, endeav-
oring to stop the selling rather
than the drinking of intoxicants. |
Both may be done to some ex-

surely something more ought to

many babies die of summer complaint
because their milk has been allowed to

Many are unable to buy enough ice
in summer to preserve milk in or
binary refrigeraturs for twentyfour
hours. Most mothers, however, buy
five or ten cent cake every morning
and by following the suggestion of Dr.
Alfred +. Hess can make at home at
small cost an excellent milk refriger-
ator that requires only very little ice:

them to keep the heat from getting in.
Complete the refrigerator by mailing
about fifty layers of newspaper to the
undersurface of the box cover
The refrigerator is now ready for
use In the morning as soon as the
milk is received it should be placed in
the pail. and ) cents worth of ice
should be cracked and placed about
the milk bottle. The cover should be
replaced on the can and the lid on the
wooden box Every morning the melt

This treatment should be insisted

When the habit is once established it
does not take long. and frock is al

If the material has grown gray or
shiny it can be freshened by wiping
off with alcohol. This is particularly
good for black hats and does not hurt

Mice Injury to Forest
Trees.

grown, have suffered consider
able injury by the attacks of
field mice. During the winter
months these rodents gnaw the
bark about the base of the trees
to greater or less degree, which
frequently results in a complete
girdle. When girdling occurs
below the root crown the trees
usually die. The amount of in
jury varies with the severity of
the winter, although a season
rarely passes without reports of
occurrence. During the winter
of 1909-10, characterized by deep
SHOWS and severe cold, ravages
to an extent heretofore unknown
were reported from all sections
of the state.
Prevention of Injury. There
are no practical means of exter-
minating field mice, although
certain operations are helpful in
preventing their attacks on trees.
1t has been observed that injury
is greater and more general
where dead grass, mulch or deb
ris of any kind lies close to- the
trees, Material of this nature
affords a harboring place, from
under which cover mice prefer
to operate. Before winter sets
in all grass or mulch material of
any kind should be raked away
from the trees for a radius of at
least two feet, leaving the ground
as bare as possible. Where mulch
culture is used a foot or two a.
bout each tree should be left
bare. Injury is more severe on
those trees whose root systems
set high on the ground; that is,
in cases where freezing and
thawing have caused heaving.
Such trees afford cavities in
which mice harbor, and complete
girdling usually results fatally
if below the point where root and
stem join. Throwing a few shov-
elfuls of dirt about the trees has
given satisfactory results.
Trees which have been more
than half girdled should be cut
off an inch above the root collar
and sprouts allowed to grow from
the stumps. In the case of trees
over three or four years of age
all sprouts may be permitted to
stand the first season, and all but
the most thrifty removed the
winter following. In some cases
all but the most thrifty may be
removed when a foot high. The
one remaining must be staked in
order to prevent it's breaking off
or becoming distorted.
Mice injury in some cases has
caused a large percentage in loss
of trees, particularly in catalpa
groves, and parties possessing
these groves will doubtless profit
by taking precautionary meas
ures in preventing as far as pos
sible the attacks of these rodents.

Battling Of the Leagues.
BY LEO.
BY LEO.

BYLEO.
In Ohio there are two organi
cations in antagonism to each
other, each seeking supremacy
in the legislature. They are not
political parties at all. 1t is nc
matter which of the two great
parties controls the state the
~e. leagues seek to control legisla-
ton by enlisEng the several
members. Mr.. Democrat is no
better than Mr.. Republican un-
less he will agree to cast his vote
for certain pet measures pend
ing. We elect members to the
s., Senate and House of Represen-
= tatives to legislate for the state
at large, but the leagues get hold
of them, either before or after
election, and induce them to vote
for the leagues pet measures.
NA These organizations are known
us Anti-Saloon League and Per-
Honal Liberty League; the for
mer working, as the name indi-
Gates, for the elimination of the
h saloon from social life in Ohio;
the latter standing, as the name
indicates, for personal freedom
in matters pertaining to eating
and drinking-especially drink
ing of intoxicants.
These two leagues, as can be
seen, are the hostile parties in
! what is called the temperance
y agitation. They gain or lose by
~ turns. The anti-saloon interest
gained in inducing the legisla-
- ture to pass the Rose county local
option law; but now the Personal
Liberty League is in the saddle
and will probably induce the new
legislature to pass the Dean bill,
which, if done, will render the
county local option law useless.
Watch the legislature during the
coming winter months for de-
velopments.
Neither of these leagues car es
anything for political parties
save as they can be used. AS
~ general thing the Personal Lib
erty League stands for the liquor
interests, claiming that Ameri-
can citizens should be given the
right to govern themselves in
s. matters of drinking, subject,
W however, to wholesome law reg
ulations. The Anti-Saloon League
claims the right to close the sa-
e looms by popular vote, on the
ground that the open saloon is
detrimental to the morals of the
community where they are.
The reader will bear in mind
that the battle is not about drink
ing at all, but concerning the
selling OF liquor. In dry"
county there may be as much
beer and whiskey consumed as
in a wet" county, the differ
ence being mainly in the manner
of procuring the stuff. At the
present time the express COM
panies are doing a thriving bus
mess conveying liquor from Col
umbus, Dayton and Cincinnati to
supply the demand at Greenville.
