 IN SHIREY ESTATE

 ery-RaiIroads Win.

1Htle Rock, Ark, Dec. 7-The
 Going liouor law does not prohibit
 sha circulation of more than one pe-
 tion for liquor licenses in one year.
 Tbis was the decision in an opinion
 handed down in the supreme court Enis morning reversing the decision
 of Judge Guy Fulk Of the second di-
 vision of the Pulaski circuit court,
 which closed Argenta saloons few
 weeks ago. The decision marks the second decision of the supreme court on Argenta's right to have saloons this year.
 "The Going law. is, in principle, hhe converse of the three mile law, and under its provisions the people who desire the sale of liquor becme the petitioners, and the burden is mon them to secure the assent of a majority of the adult white inhdbit- ants," says the supreme courts rul- ling handed down today.
 No one can sell liquor until this |assent has been secured and evidence lin the manner provided by the Going Flaw. But whenever that assent has been secured, the condition is then |met which permits the county udge Ito exercise his discretion in the granting of liquor licenses for the |remainder of the calendar year in which such petition was filed. "This Going law does not under take to limit the number of petitions which may be filed, nor does it undertake to provide when they shall |be filed; and We think the proper in- terpretation of the portion of section 2 is that the petition may be filed at any time, and that an adverse action upon one petition does not preclude the subsequent consideration of mother petition.
 The judgement of court below is, therefore, reversed and the cause will be remanded with directions to over- rule appellee's motion to quasA appel ant's petition.'
 The "drys" filed petition alleging lne saloonists had no right to circu- late second petition after the first petition had been declared insuffici- ent to grant licenses.
 Shirey's Niece Wins.

Shirley, deceased, a merchant of Minturn. A verdict for No,OOO awarded by the Lawrence cir cult court was affirmed.

Washington, Dee. 7.-Thc final ses- sion of the 62nd congress met today but the real grind of legislation will not begin until after tomorrow, when the president will visit con gres5 and read his messagc.
 Crowded galleries were present in senate and house. chief interest at taching, however, 10 the lower body, where the membership is larger and where there was promised renewal of the cotton-relf filibuster which tied up congress just before adjourn ment in October
 A survey of the calendars shows almost a record breaking legislative program, the features being as fol- lows:
 Fifteen appropriation bills must be passed. This means that congress must apportion more than one billion dollars between December and March f. There will be approximately 65 working days, making the average appropriation per day about $17O00.- 900, estimating that the total appro- priations will be at least $1 O,O00 ,000 as compared with $1,1 6,000,000 for the long sessions just passed.
 If the fight for a public buildings bill succeeds, there will be sixteen supply measures and as extended fights are imminent over rivers and harbors, the naval increase and the army appropriation bill, night ses- sions probably will be the rule during the short session.
 A filibuster against any of the ap- propriation bills will result in the report of special "gag" rule in the house. A cloture rule is impossible in the senate.
 Cotton Bills First.
 Despite the big task attaching to the passage of the annual supply bills, some time must be devoted to i'm portant measures on the regular cal- endars. The conservation program, the ship purchase bif1, amendments to the currency law, rural credits leg islation and immigration Legislation are matters which members in both houses will attempt to press.
 When the house adjourned late in October there were pending as unfln- ished business two bills, to amend the currency law and the Henry cotton relief amendment to these bills. These bills proposed to permit the shifting of reserve from member banks to the

 Berlin Dec. T., by wireless to Lon don-The following was given out at army headquarters here:
 "In Northern Poland we gained inn portant successes in prolonged fight ing around IodZ, by defeating strong Russian forces stationed to the north west and to the southwest of the city.
 "Lodz is in our possession. Details of the battle giving us Lodz cannot yet be made public because of the ex- tended field over which the engage ment was fought. The Russian losses were very large. An attempt by the Russians to come to the assistance of their threatened armies in the north from Northern Poland was foiled by the activity of the Auslro-Hungariau and German troops in the district southwest of Piatrkow."
 Paris, Dec. 7.--German guns have been established at point just south of Newport and today their servers directed a vigorous cannOnade against Ostdunkerke, 1-2 miles to the west of Nieuport This is the first time the enemy's guns have found target so far west of the Yser, at this north- ern extremity of the allies line.
 The allies are continuing their att tacks against the positions still re- tained by the Germans on the left band of the Yser, from Dixmude north to Nieuport with considerable su5.ess, although these efforts have not yet forced the dislodging of the invaders. The positions the Germans occupy are so isolated and they are held in such small numbers that the A6IlluS over CHclT pOSScbSIOu IS uOTS or less of the caliber of skirmishes.
 Unofficial estimates state the losses of the enemy along the Yser have been severe. At one point when the Belgians operating with the ritish troops, blew up a bridge, body of 5000 Germans was cut off and an- initiated.
 Not only on the Ypres front but all along the battle line in the Argonne region, the allies are pressing the of- fensive with determination and vigor. The French and British attack is proving greatly superior to the Ger. man, and advantages, particularly in the exchanges by artillery, are being gained everywhere by the allies. Fighting has been renewed with great vigor in the old Santree region tin the departments of SOmme and l the Oise), where, in the region os Rove, the French have been able to record a great advance.
 | Marked advantage over the enemy's artillery has been won by the French battery in series of engagements i:: the Campeigne county, where the new field howitzerssfOf the French artillery have been giving good aa. counts of themselves.

as the teeth.
The following prescription is thorough
ly reliable if compounded by a careful
druggist:
"Precipitated chalk, one ounce; pow
dered resorcin, powdered myrrh and pow
dered CASTLE soap. each fifteen grains.
with few drops Of wintergreen added to
flavor it. If a sweet taste is desired
half grain Of saccharin may be added to
one ounce of powder"
Genuine CASTLE soap and tepid water
make a good tooth wash. The following
is also recommended for the same pur-
pose: Benzoic acid, one dram; tincture
eucalyptus, five drains; absolute alcohol,
four ounces; oil of peppermint, fifteen
drops.
Great care should be taken in brushing
the teeth not to irritate the gums and
make them bleed, as this will cause them
to retract.
There was a time not many decades
ago when parents paid no attention to
the temporary teeth. arguing that tooth
ache was as natural sequence to child
hoods as mumps and measles. Nowadays
enlightened people think differently, for
they realize that a child with broken
down or painful teeth cannot masticate
it's food properly, and that the digestion
will be impaired unless dental care IS

Are You Highly Domestic?

WHETHER our sympathies are with
" or against woman suffrage, many
of us. most of us, are prone to brand the
woman who does not like to cook as a
woman untitled for domestic life. We en-
shrine the kitchen stove, as some clever
women with advanced ideas have put it,
as the sacred center of family life.
George Eliot was acknowledged as a
keen observer Of human nature, and many
years ago she commented on some one
Of her friends who was efficient in a
knowledge of cooking by saying that
deficiency In the ability to cook was a
characteristic of the highest type Of
domestcity.
So, even in the days of George Eliot,
before militancy was thought of. there
was rebellion against the generally ac-
copied idea that a woman fitted for
domestcity was necessarily a woman
who could cook well. The newest ideas
are old.

WHEN you have q large cake of ice

a glass you are somewhat helpless il
you have no ice pick at hand. But you
need not be SO. Use an ordinary pin
instead Of an ice pick and you can have
the ice in pieces the size You desire.
Press the pin into the ice as far as it
will 80, and work 1t back and forth
slowly and steadily until the ice splits.
Then put the pin in a new place and
make another cleft. In this way you
can break off piece after piece of any
desired size.
