The Art of Cooking.

| am heartily sorry for people who
never do their own co oking. Cooking is
an art, not only creative but social. 1t
takes the raw materials and converts
them into product that is every way
pleasing, and that brings the people who
enjoy it into social harmony. The i'm
mediate products do not abide; the better
they are the more quickly they vanish,
but they leave behind something spirit
ual and permanent. A busy mother, who
was wonderful cook, once said to me,
Sometimes it hardly seems worth while
to cook things when they go so fast, but
then, think, after all they leave behind
them memory of jolly home table
that does last, so perhaps it pays l am
sure she was right The memory of that
home table has lasted forty years and
more, and does not yet seem to be fading.

goes to the man who makes the best dis

SALOONS VS.. PROSPERITY.

Records show that Maine, holding to
prohibition, has grown faster during the
past decade than during any decade since
its own frontier reached the rough for
ested highlands half century ago. Yer
mont changed to local option and it fails
to show like increase in growth. New
Hampshire allowed cities and towns to
open saloons, and it has but half the
growth in population it enjoyed during
the previous decade under prohibition.
While it is of course true that prohi-
bition and the consequent great restric-
ton in the consumption of alcoholic
liquors is not alone sufficient to cause in
dustrial development these census rec
ords prove that prohibition certainly does
not arrest development: They clearly
prove that prohibition favors prosperity
when they are combined with the abund-
ant scientific evidence that moderate
drinking, as well as drunkenness, lowers
the efficiency of both managers and work.
men, and therefore must decrease the
productivity of the industries of any Ii
cense State.
When the Board of Trade of the thriv-
ing city of Beverly, Massachusetts,, set
forth the advantages their city offered
counted one important advantage to be
and could be trusted never to do SO. The
Board did not mention as an advantage
that staid and stagnant Salem across the
bridge, thanks to local option, provided
licensed saloons within easy reach at
least half the years. No city advertises
its saloons as attractive to industrial
leaders or home seekers. Pasadena, Cal,
advertises widely "A city of churches
without a saloon" They may attract
breweriers; they do attract, as the police
commissioner of Boston testifies, float
ing population of criminals. Maine will
find her present sound and increasing
growth advanced by retention of the pol
icy under which she is outstripping the
two neighboring States that abandoned
prohibition.
1t is worth repeated emphasis that de-
spite the injury they suffer from saloons
in nearby license places, the no-license
cities of Massachusetts have in the last
quarter century increased in population,
industrial output and in wealth nearly
twice as fast as the cities that have
licensed saloons. This fact is ignored by
the license advocates, since they can not
controvert it. They may say that pro-
hlbltlon hurts business; they may COM
pare some pair of cities (the most pros
porous license city, the slowest growing
no-license city, to the apparent advan-
tage of license. They cannot give an
average comparison, which eliminates
other factors influencing growth, with
out revealing the truth that communities
prosper economically as well as morally,
by refusing to license and allow the sale
OF intoxicating liquors as beverage. -
