The spigot is out and the beer logic
is going to waste. Here is specimen
from a subsidized neighbor:

But Mr.. Burletgh's newspaper rises 10
remark that the next Republican admin
stration will see to it that the law is
enforced. The editor of that paper does
not really believe that. He is simply
following the Republican policy of pro-
claiming prohibition in theory and
winking at its violation in practice. when
the violating is done by Republican Off
Gals. He is doing that to which tho
shorter and uglier word might be applied
without seriously fracturing the English
language and his remarks are of inter-
est merely as revealing the peculiar
mental obliquity of Republican politi-
clans and newspaper organs whenever
they approach this question.

Star Flowers.

Star Flowers.
Some songs are like the lilies
That in the meadows stand
They awe us with their beauty,
SO stately and so grand.
And some are bright, enchanting,
Like garden roses red.
They make us think of birthdays
And maids about to wed.
Some songs are like carnations
They raviSh sense and brain
Until the rhythmic pleasure
Is one long glad refrain.
And other songs are humber
Forget-me-nots of blue.
They tell of love and duty.
OF friendship. tried and true.
The star flowers of the singer
Are songs that peace impart.
They come to us in sorrow
And rest the weary heart.

"FEED BEANS TO CHILDREN"
Boston Physician Also Thinks Cor.
poral Punishment Good
If Necessary.

Boston, Mass.-"Feed the children
Boston baked beans if they like them"
Administer corporal punishment if
necessary"
Let them go barefoot"
These are some of the suggestions
given by Dr. Charles Putnam to
mothers through an address at the
Harvard Medical school.
Baked beans will not hurt a child,
providing they have been properly
baked and the child has real liking
for them. They are very nutritious,
wholesome and arpetizing," said the
speaker.
Corporal punishment is the only
thing that viii successfully curb Ger
tain traits in the young child, and
advise it in cases where nothing else
will accomplish the same purpose
"All children should go barefoot
when young. Don't tie them up in re-
stricting, uncomfortable clothing"

Remarkable Trousseau of Bride at

lace Are Happy and contentcd
With Their Lot.

Lond0n.-There are still corners of
Europe that are not hackneyed-th
are practically unyisited by tourists
despite the revolution the motor car
has wrought. These quaint places, of
course, become fewer each year, but
every now and then the illustrated
newspapers of this and other coun-
tries print photographs of some
strange ancient town or of some curl
Gus people that remain much as they
were 300 or 400 years ago.
Such place is Citta Vecchia, the
ancient capital of Malta, which has re-
NAMED almost untouched since the
knights of Malta ruled the island. An
other such town Is Rothenburg, in Ba-
varia, which. although it is not quite
unknown to tourists, contains no mod
ern buildings, while its streets are
still lighted by lanterns swung across
them on chains.
The Sphere this week contains an
account of wedding in the Schwalm
valley, another spot that has been al
lowed to remain as it was before mod
ernity swept away the picturesqueness
from the greater part of the civilized
world. The valley is in western Ger
many, the Schwalm passing through
the beautifully situated little town OF
Treysa, which is on the Main-Weser
railway
The people of the Schwalm valley
belong to a very robust and tenacious
race. They are very thrifty. extreme
and indefatigably Industrious, always
struggling to wrest a living by hard
work from the soil. In time Of war
the Schwalmer proved themselves
clever soldiers, capable of enduring
great fatigue and hardship. The
Schwalmer loves his home and If his
business has taken him into other
lands he always returns to his native
place.
When young man needs wife he
always chooses her from among the
maidens Of the valley.
The evening before the wedding the
bridal pair go with some witnesses to
the village council and the clergyman,
the bride wearing for the last time her
girlish red cap, red corners, and red
ornaments.
On the wedding morning the bride
is awake early. At about quarter to
eight she is already dressed in her
fullest wedding attire. She sits, look
ing very patient and dignified. putting

Time, Says M. Finot in 1.-THE Eternal
Feminine" to Throw OFF Yoke
of Eternal Feminine.

Paris-M Jean Finot, in his new
book. THE Eternal Feminine" reach
es the startling conclusion that it is
man and not woman who needs eman-
cipation. Man must proclaim his indie
pendence, he declares; for thousands
of years he has borne the yoke of
the eternal feminine; it is high time
that he fought for his freedom from
woman, who, by law and custom,
keeps him slave to her emotions and
caprices. He thus begins: "All our
trouble can be traced to the Church
Council, which was rash enough to de-
clare that woman had a soul. Man
originally knew well enough that wom-
an was his inferior, but as time went
on one man out of pride and vainglory
boasted that he had a handsome mate.
Another at once boosted that he had a
handsomer. The men then begin to
dress them up in fine feathers out
of sheer rivalry.

ing in the sun. already showing her
disposition to idle away her time.

to work to support her. When he re-

poses has been considered for some

advertising purposes of the congress
in this way" said DR.. William c. Co

Presbyterian church, the other day in
Chicago, in discussing the plans.
I'VE already have offered prize Of
$50 for the best article of 25O words
on the significance of the congress,

petition to secure good advertising
ideas. This is an experiment and it
will contribute to the success of the

eul, and at the same time maintain

The committee on Christian pub
Lefty, which held meeting in Chica-

essary for the churches. The report
will be $4,000 words long and will be

great mills in operation at night. The
tall chimneys that point their black
fingers sykward by day at night turn
into wonderful candles. each with its
waving, many colored fame pickering
against the black sky. The iron
sheathed buildings seem to reflect a
white glow from every opening, and
every window is spot of light. Now
and then burst of fame from a con-
verter shoots upward, filing the air
with glittering sparks. Then a train
load of hot metal creeps through the
yard, some of the metal sputtering and
glowing and another part darkening
into a rich red If it is a wire mill

heated wire in coils travelling along an
overhead conyeyor. Nearer the roll
ing mill the coils are very white, but
they grow DINNER, until those farthest
away from the hot mills are black and
