Burning Cubes of Solid Alcohol.

Cubes of solid alcohol" are
coming into use in Germany and
to some extent in America for
cooking, heating, curling irons
or small amounts of water, and
for any purpose which requires
a small amount of heat for a
short time. Put up in pills or
small metal containers, solid al
cohol is much more convenient
than liquid alcohol, because it
can be used on a sheet of metal
or asbestos without a burner and
the user knows just how much
heat to expect. Popular Me-

Ridiculous Ruling of Kansas Judge.

Ridiculous Ruling of Kansas Judge.
That Federal judge in Kansas
who decided that it was neces-
sary, in white slave cases, to es-
tablish that the transportation
was for commercial purposes" is
manifestly unsophisticated. If
there was any purpose whatever
behind the Mann white slave act
it was the protection of the vir-
tue of girls and women against
male debauchers. The nearest
approach which a federal law
could get to such cases was when
they became interstate matters;
hence, transportation from one
State to another-not for COM
mercial purposes, but for immor-
al purposes whether commercial
or personal constituted the Of
tense. If the ruling of the Kan
sas Judge should be upheld the
law would be rendered practi-
cally nugatory by reason of the
ease with which it might be
evaded. The Country Review.
