The zuIu Trick.

The English soldiers who had
served in South Africa quickly taught
the allies in France how to sleep COM
fortably on the ground
To sleep on the ground in the ordi-
nary way, without the aid of this
South African trick, which the English
learned from the Zulus, Is so painful
as 70 be almost impossible. Sleep, in.
stead of resting, fatigues.
The Zulu trick is to dig little hole
to hold the hip bone. The soldier can
then rest on back or side with equal
comfort. He rises from his slumbef
on the hard ground as refreshed as If
he had slept on a feather bed.

HAPPY NEW YEAR CUSTOMS
Celebrations of the Mummers in olden
Days In EneIand-TendIng to
Revive Visiting.

On Friday, January 1, the Enummers
will mum-that's their way of ush-
ering in the New Year. How many of
them know the beginning of the Gus

nocently enough, but by the seventh
century it amounted to "diabolical
paganism," outrageous, blasphemous.
Ruffians robbed and even murdered
under the pretense of merrymaking.
Not all was frightful, however. In
Rome slaves were waited upon by
their masters and the poor reaped
veritable harvests, which was but nat
Iural, since it all came from the sat.
lurnalia of the Eternal City.
In England the mummers performed
iplays, spoke dialogues and imperson-
lated famous people, especially kings
land warriors. Songs were sung both
by the mummers and their entertain
ers. Here is one:
To shorten winters sadness
See where the folks with gladness
Disguised all are a-coming
Right wantonly a-mumming.
In those days they loved. too, to
masquerade as animals, bears and
unicorns being especially favored dis
guises. SCOTS couplet summed it
up:
Who lists may in their mumming see
Traces of ancient minstrelsy
At last this mumming came to DO
a menace as well as a nuisance, and
the chaste Henry VIII made it a mis-
demeanor to wear a mask.
1t was George Washington who
made the day what it once was in
this country. Said he: Never forget
the cheerful and cordial observance of
New Years day" The celebration
grew and grew, until generation or
so ago, the scenes enacted at some
receptions were simply disgraceful, So

b. Milking ID. Provide milk
ing stanchions and floor surrounded
by alfalfa field. Clean milk can not
be obtained when milking in a dusty,
manure laden atmosphere such as is
inevitable when milking in an open
corral surrounded by moving cows
who aid the breeze in stirring up
the dust. Concrete floors are best
and permanent, but a smooth, well
rolled, oiled, dirt floor with constant
care can be kept smooth, dust free
and water proof and it is inexpensive.

WHAT VIRGINIA DID

Prohibitionists laboring in Ari-
zona have made a great hurrah
about Virginia going dry" in the
election on September 22d. Virginia
did not exactly go dry" and it will
be more or less humid on and after
November l, 1916, when the law
goes into effect. 1t will be noted
that two years is given the saloons
to dispose of their property, while
the proposed Arizona amendment
will put them out of business In less
than two months if the amendment
carries.
Here are the facts about the Vir-
ginia enabling act" which should
be compared with the drastic pro-
visions of the Arizona amendment:
The enabling act becomes effective
on November |, 1916.
Prohibits manufacture and sale of
alcohol, whiskey and brandy in Vir-
ginia except strictly for scientific,
sacrificlal. medical and mechanical
purposes.
Prohibits sale of beer in Virginia.
Prohibits the establishment of any
new breweries and wine presses in
Virginia.
Permits breweries now in opera
tiOn to continue in operation, pro
vided that their products shall be
exclusively malt liquors (beer); pro-
vided that they shall contain not
more than 81 per cent alcohol, and
provided that they shall be sold in

Where lie the dead who would not yield,
Give thanks to him of Galilee,

"LIFE IN A DRY COUNTRY

have been a Methodist pastor in
the State of Kansas for thirty-three
years and as a Methodist want to
tell my experience"
The prohibitory amendment to
the constitution of the State of
Kansas was submitted to the State
in the fall of 1880, and upon its
adoption the legislature of the fol-
lowing winter passed a statute max
ing it operative the first day of the
next May. At that time eight hun
dred If the twelve hundred saloons
which were in the State Immediately
closed their doors, to stay closed
forever. The balance stayed to fight,
and used every known legal techni-
-cality to break down, and, failing in
that. to evade the will of the peo,
pie. The courts, both state and fed
eral, have sustained every phase of
the law, and today it is as we'll
obeyed as any other law on the stat.
ute books.
From the very beginning two
thirds of the State enforced the law,
and for the last six years it has been
effective all over the State.
10 Well Enforced
This does not mean that it is never
violated. There is no law that is
self-enforcing and few if any that
are not violated. The saloon as an
institution has been entirely driven
from the State, the whiskey and
beer that. are sold, are peddled
down back alleys and in dark cellars.
The governor of the State recently
publicly challenged any man to show
him place where liquor was sold,
and said, IL any one would, he would
close 1t inside of "a hours. Since the
passage Of the Webb law by congress
and the enactment of a statute by
the legislature to make its provisions
effective even the "bootlegger" has
largely been driven from the State.
The claim has always been made
that the consumption Of liquor has
had bad effect on the morals, the
mental ability. the health and the
business of a people. Kansas has
had prohibition for more than thirty
years, and by this time it ought to
begin to show whether these claims
are true: or rather show whether

In 1912, little more than one-half
of the county jails were empty, %
of the 105 counties of the State had
no inmates in the State penal insti-

come from the border counties of
the State where liquor can be

When the law went into effect
the death rate in Kansas was about
that of other agricultural States,
while in 1918 it was only 1914 per
thousand.

lately said: On July /, 1918, 20
counties had no inmates of their
poorhouses; 80 no insane inmates;
81 no feeble minded; 80 no children,
and 33 no other pauper inmates. ,
There were only 8l2 paupers in all

Kansas troops were able to stand

because they were reared away from
