1t is an old allegation of liquor
men. or those who would take the
open saloon in preference TO paying
increased taxes, that prohibition
doesn't prohibit" Well, maybe it
doesn entirely Neither does the
law against murder prohibit kill
ings. No law was ever known to
absolutely do away with what it was
intended to-stop. The regulation
of any evil is only an admission of
its wrongfulness and an encourage
ment of its wickedness circumscrib-
ed, by easily lodged conditions.

The Central City Argus is calling
upon the newspapers of the State
and all interested in Kentucky's well
fare to help it repudiate the damag-
ing four-column article which ap-
peared in the Courier-Journal re-
Gently in regard to "Lawlessness in
Muhlenberg. On the second page
of The Herald to-day will be found
what the Argus has to say about the
situation. There can be no doubt
that such exaggerated and sensation
al reports do much damage to the
mining Interests and al, other enter
prises of IA county, in a general way.
Both the operators and union mi
ners have united in denouncing law
lessness. and the situation will no
doubt be well taken care of in sup
pressing outlawry.

There is now a bill pending in
Congress making literacy the main
test of our immigration laws. 1t
would seem that something should
be done in this matter, as at present
the country is being flooded with il
literate persons. During last year
1,3S7,31S immigrants were admitted
to the United States, of whom 322,-
S31 could neither read nor write. OF
these 221 ,224 were males and 101,-
6O7 females. The proposed literacy
bill would affect all Immigrants
over the age of l6 years. 1t would
at least help to give us partially
educated immigrant citizenship.

How to Wash Lace

Will you say a word or two about washing real lace? Is there better way or doing 1t than is given in the following recipe cut from an old newspaper? Rare old lace should be steeped in milk from 70 to 20 minutes to give it the correct vel Jewish tinge. In cleansing old lace do not wiring it, for the twisting of the fine threads breaks them. Make a suds of shaved white soap and boiling water: squeeze the lace between the hands in this water; rinse in two or three waters and then steep it in the milk.
 EMMA J."
 French dressmaker advises me that soiled laces should be laid away for two days in powdered French chalk. after rubbing them gently between t'e hands as in studs, taking care to use the chalk as one would soap, treating every thread and mesh with the fine powder. Then bury 1t in the chalk and leave fl there covered, two days to keep out the dust. This process removes the oil and stains of precipitation and takes out the soil of dust, etc. l should not dare to steep it in milk unless I might after wards rinse it out with borax water or other alkaline liquid. There is oil in milk. even In "skim milk

Your Legs Not Same Length

From the London Mirror.
 1T venture to assert that if you meas ure the legs of every one in this court you will not find person who, has pair Of equal length" said pr. C. w. Cooke in giving evidence in a London court.
 The human body is not svmmetrf- cal, as is commonly believed" said a widely known doctor. "The legs vary in length and circumference, and the arms as well. The right hand is usu- ally bigger than the left, because 1t is used more. The head is by no means regular in form-in fact. 1t is as often as not lopside.
 The left leg is generally a little longer than the right, presumably to counteract the overbalancine effect on the body of the right arm, which is usually somewhat heavier and longer than the left, since s5 out of every 100 people use their right arm more than the left The eyes, too. are nearly always different both in shape and strength. and through sleeping more on one side than another every man. ears are tilted at different angles. Feet, too, are nearly always unlike in shape due frequently to the wearing of ill : fitting boots"
