MINISTER'S OF SALEM I
ISSUE NOTICE TO VOTERS
To the Citizen-voters of Salem.

To the Citizen Voters of Salem:
We, the undersigned, members of the
Salem Ministerial Union, believing that
we represent the highest interests of
the city, hereby declare our belief that
every such interest will be promoted by
the elimination of the licensed saloon
from our midst. We believe that the
organized liquor traffic is the great
est single hindrance to our city's
growth, and whatever prosperity has
come within recent years, has come in
spite of, rather than because of the
saloon.
We believe that the driving out of
the saloon will lower taxes, as prohibi-
tion has done wherever given an hon
est trial; that it will promote every le-
gitimate business; that it win greatly
decrease drunkenness and immortality,
and safeguard every moral interest, af-
fording protection to our young people
and our homes.
We hope the voters will read care
fully the statements on both sides of
this question, and not be misled by the
disguised and expensive advertising of
the liquor dealers, and will remem-
ber that every vote east on November
4 for "Dry Salem" is vote to pro
tect the homes, and to promote the
prosperity of our city.

The Capital Journal Free Cooking
school to be conducted next week by
Mrs. Kate Vaugn is to be strictly ed
ucational in character. Mrs. Vaugn
will give one short lecture to prospec.
tive housewives. She has some very
convincing arguments to show that the
girls should be trained for the great
work of housekeeping and home max
ing, just as boys are trained for their
life work. Mrs. Vaugn writes that
many people have a wholly erroneous
idea about domestic science. 'fIt is
not in any sense, to take the place Of
such fundamental branches as reading,
writing and arithmetic, or of the cul.
tural studies girls take up later on.
To be n successful home maker, a real
help mate, girls of this generation need
to know more about arithmetic than
simple combination Of figures. She
should know how to apply her know
ledge of mathematics to tho business
of operating home of her own. She
should have at school enough domestic
science training to ebpble to study
food values and hygiene and sanitation
in a practical way when she goes into
her home She should know enough
about arithmetic to be able to make
out and carry out household budget
which will relieve her husband and her
self Of financial worry, If we are to
have really happy homes, girls must
actually have a real training. There are
many mothers who are excellent house.
