duke vII:33-34). For John the
Baptist came neither eating bread
nor drinking wine; and We say, He
hath devil. The Son of Man is
come eating and drinking; and We
say: Behold a gluttonous man
and a wine bibber, friend of pub
licans and sinnersr The contrast
the Saviour draws between John
the Baptist and Himself is strik-
ingly definite. John did not drink
(for he was a Nazarene), but the
Son Of of Man is come drinking
wine.
The first miracle was the turn
ing Of water into wine and the
last and saddest Of this sacred
history relates to the Last Supper,
where Jesus used bread and wine
He called wine the fruit of the
vine
One Of the strongest proofs that
he used wine Is that in all Chris
tian churches up to the recent pro-
hibition period in American his
tory, 1T was used for sacramental
purposes. We all remember the
following advice:
II. Tim, v:23)-Drink no longer
water, but use a little wine for
often infirmities.'"
The bible also says Wine is
mocker. strong drink a brawler, and
who hath woe? Who hath sorrow?
Who hath contentious? Who hath
wounds without cause? Who hath red
ness of eyes? They that tarry long
at the wine: they that go to seek out
mixed wine" Look not thou upon the
wine when it is red; when it spark
leth In the cup. when it goeth down
smoothly: At last It biteth like a SER
pent and stingeth like an adder"
This is nearer prohibition as bever-
age than anything to the contrary on
the other side The bible records
many things about many things. 1t
portrays Abraham and David as pre-
eminently men Of God. 1t also tells US
that they were polygamists and does
not condemn that. Does the liquor
traffic defend 1t
Paups advice to Timothy TO take a
little wine for his infirmities was
nothing more than a physicians pre-
scription which the amendment allows.
1t is no warrant for the man with
out infirmities. But, 1 doubt not.
many imaginary ailments rest on that
little bit of scripture.
1t is not a question Of drinking
wine. If Texas goes dry, under the
amendment, the farmers In
the Rio Grande valley can raise grapes.
make wine and drink 1t at their mar
rage feasts and other times without
any liquor law.
The amendment will close the
saloons in Texas. see vast gulf
between the marriage feast in Galilee
and the Texas saloon; and between
pure water turned into pure wine and
the liquor which the saloon dispenses.
In the bible, I find no warrant for
the Texas saloon. Neither do 1 find
there anything in opposition to prohi-
bition in Texas. The scripture which
I quoted above describes the Texas
saloon and its products exactly.
conclude that the bible is against the
Texas saloon.
Drop the masquerade. A thing hav-
ing to its credit all the human crime
degradation. poverty, mis-
cry and damnation that is so truly
charged to the liquor traffic must be
IN desperate straights and devoid Of
truth and decency when 1t appeals in
self defence TO the Christian re-

How to Make a Real
Wrinkle Remover
tFrom Fashion Reporterl


In these days Of cleverly advertised
'sbeautifiers" of 81 varieties and more
IT is hard for any woman to believe
that she can make a simple home rem
edy which will do her much more
good, and cost her much less than the
average made preparation. Take the
subject of wrinkles, for instance.
There is nothing in the world SO eff
fective for removing or preventing
wrinkles, baggy cheeks and double
chins, as a solution. of Saxolite and
witch hazel
Get an ounce Of pure powdered sax
olite from any drug store. dissolve the
full ounce in q half pint of witch
1azel and use the mixture daily as a
refreshing lotion. The quick and salts
factory results viii surprise you. Even
after the very first application there
is a marked improvement The wrinkles
are less in evidence and the face has
firm, solid" feeling that is very
comforting.

SHOE MEN SAY FEET OF
WOMEN GROWING LARGER

Boston, Mass, July 2o.-women's feet
are growing bigger. A No. shoe. one
regarded as a dainty feminine size, is
fast vanishing.
This information comes from the
shoe manufacturers and dealers who
are holding their fifth national fair in
Boston
There is no other body more quail
fled to speak on the size Of women's
feet than the shoe man." said M. P.
Merrill, western shoe manufacturer
And women's feet are the cause Of our
tribulations. The women of this gem
Grafton have larger feet than the wo-
men Of the last. Yet, in spite of this.
the woman of today wishes to follow
the standard IN sizes of the past gen.
Grafton. The No. 2 size In women's
shoes has practically disappeared.
A canvass Of these shoe men brings
out that the average size of shoes that
women today wear is from four to
five whereas about 20 years ago the
average size was from three to to five.

THE LIQUOR CATECHISM.-xIII.
Editor Ell Paso Herald:
Question l29 and answer OF the
liquor catechism read:
129. Does the bible contain any
doctrine favoring state wide prohi-
bition? 1t does not, nor can any
OF the passages of the old tesla
ment or the new be construed into
such meaning. 1t advocates tenn
perance as it advocates truth and
morality, but nowhere in either
the old or new testament Is the
use Of wine prohibited.
The Koran, the infidel bible,
used by infidel nations, does pro-
hibit the use of alcohol but not
the Christian bible, and it should
not be dragged into political dis
cussions. But nothing is sacred
with the Incorporate prohibitionist.
He expounds his politics from the
pulpit and the sacred book Is drag =
ged into petty politics Reading GER
tain passages upon which he puts
his own construction. he fails to
quote from others which are ger
main. He will divide his church
into two hostile factions. and in
the next political issue that comes
along he will divide them again.
The spiritual work of the organi-
zation viii be forgotten and poll
teal differences become para
mount
The old testament shows con-
clusively that wine was used as
beverage by all classes of people
and was by the command of God
used in the celebration of religious
festivities and at sacraficia1 feasts
and offerings IN the Temple. Its
pages are strewn with evidence
that wine was in common use by
all. This the Incorporate prohi-
bitionists will admit, but will be
put upon explanation regarding
the reference to wine in the new
Testament
We find that the first miracle
wrought by Christ occurred when
He changed water into wine at the
marriage feast Of Cana His
motive was sympathy for the we'd
ding guests, for the bride and
bridegroom, whose supply of wine
had failed. The ruler Of the feast,
who knew not how it came about,
was surprised, and said TO the
bridegroom that, contrary to Gus
tom, he was furnishing the good
wine last after the worst had been
well drunk" (John 11:10). On
this. occasion Jesus not only made
wine. but had 1t dispensed to the
wedding guests.
Christ's sanction OF the drinking
Of wine becomes still more obvious
from the words which he addressed
to the Pharisees and lawyers.

Editor FL Paso Herald:
I am not an officer in FL Paso. II

oath. am only an old, sick woman in
Altura Park. but know the saloons
IN FL Paso and in Ell Paso county are
running In violation of Sunday law.
About four weeks ago. wrote a let
ter TO the chief of police giving him
the names Of some Of the saloons that
are open IN FL Paso on Sunday, and 1
told him I would furnish him the wit
nesses TO prove 1t. but he paid no at
tention to my letter. I suppose It was
put IN the waste basket.

W. W. Bridgers, for thought 1 had
better save my strength, but 1 did ap-
peal TO our mayor to have something
done about IT. Acting mayor Hewitt
kindly referred my letter to Brown &
Terry. lawyers. They wrote me cour-
teous letter. saying they would prose-
cute the saloons If I would furnish them
the witnesses. One of the witnesses
called on them, but they were at the
courthouse Twice since then two wit
nesses called at their office, but 1t was
closed. However, it will be attended TO,

SALOONS ON THE COUNTY ROAD.
Editor FL Paso Herald:
The whisky houses are about to take
our new county road down the valley
for road house purposes. Already I
have lost sale of valley land to par
ties that will not locate on the county
road on account of the road house sa-
looms
IT is now nothing uncommon to hear
drunken crowds going home, using
think they were in the red light dis
trict of Ell Paso 20 years ago, and mind
you. these crowds often get out Of
their machines on the north side Of the
track, among the churches and walk to
different respectable districts, and usu-
ally the joy riders are young boys and
girls. Can you blame q man for voting
for prohibition, even though he has al
ways been in the habit Of taking his
drink It is not the whisky that am
afraid Of for my boys; its the men
who handle il and the places were Ii
is sold. I consider the bootlegger q
prince alongside OF the present man
agement of the whisky business to
whom we grant license. To those who
want our new county road made into
a "red light street. vote against pro-
hibftfon; those who don't. vote differ
emily is the sincere request of one
who has not reached that harmless age,
nor been influenced by the socalled IA
natics. It's strictly business propo-
sition with me.

Early this morning a man believed
to be the one wanted, broke into the
bar of the Western hotel at Snow
