NEW LIQUOR LAW WILL HELP.

1t is to be hoped that the new liquor
law will put out Of business the many
blind tigers that infest our country,
says an exchange. 1t has often been
said that liquor will give US joy and
| drown our troubles. There never was
a falser note struck on the chords of
human life. Drink does not drown trou.
bles, it floats them. We may lock them
in the closet of a night of debauche1y
and think we have forgotten them; but
they come trooping forth in the gray
dawn of the morning to mock and de.
ride US. When the magic wand was
withdrawn, the dreams have vanished
the bright illusions which our distem.
pered fancy pictured are gone-the cas-.
ties have fallen; reality has come, and
only the dull, cold ashes of regret re.
main.
If We have no sorrows, liquor creates
them; and il we have them it increases
them and makes them harder to bear,
1t blights the young man like light.
ming does the tree, and leaves him strip
ped Of his heritage.
1t takes from middle age ambition
and hope, and robs old age Of its seren.
ity and peace,
1t is the thief of character.
1t turns men into monsters and WON.
en- into harlots.
1t invades the ballot box to corrupt
il.
1t weakens the admiration of Justice.
1t is the polluted stream which min,
giles with the current of public affairs,
and it poisons all it touches.
Whenever it comes it brings a sor.
row and whenever it goes it leaves re.

Dear Sir: I am writing to you for
advice and I am at the came time ask.
ing that you write 50 that l can pub
hsh the reply.
The Woman's Club of Greenwood, Of
which l am president, has a library in
it's club room thrown open to the pub
lie. 1t seems to the club that unless
We are very careful, this library might
in a great way spread infections or
contagious diseases. At the ame time
as the town council gives US $500 a
month towards defraying the running
expenses Of the library, we feel that
We must have an authoritative opinion
as TO the action we should take Oh this
question. We think we know thai if W.
had an unlimited sum Of money We
could make it safe to let the BOOKS 90
into any house regardless Of whether
it is infected or not, but as we have q
limited SUN Of money We would rot be
able TO pay some one a Sufficient sum
for them TO be willing to have tn" care
of these books after they are returned
from such houses and before the health
officer could f~umigate them for US.
Then too We have only about 100 vol
umes and we feel that it would not be
well for US to allow a practice which
would put a good many books out of
commission for even a te~ days at a
time, and which would unless strictly
attended to, expose the well to
these diseases. ! wish you would give
me an official opinion as to the diseases
we must guard against and to whether
We shall risk sending the books into
houses when there are these diseases.
Please reply at your earliest CONVEX
fence.

Dea- Madam; Replying to your let
ter relative to the library situation in
your town, will say that library and
school books are considered common
carriers of disease. Your library, would
be perfectly justified in providing that
no books can go to any home where
there is any infectious or contagious
disease. This would include tuberculo-
sis, small pox, scarlet fever, diphthe'
ria, typhoid fever, and even whooping
cough and measles, and besides these,
several unmentiOnable diseases. Even
though you had a book disinfeeting out
fit, it would still not be permissible to
allow books taken to homes, under such
circumstances.
Trusting that this will give you the
desired information, 1 am,

MISSING YOUTHS
Officials Spent Part of Night
Seeking Whereabouts of
Lads for Parents.

The Rock Island police were last
night searching for two boys whose
parents notified them that they had
been lost, having seemingly myster
iously disappeared.
The first case reported was that OF
Harry CrandIe, who resides with his
parents in the Rosenfield flats. He had
gone fishing during the day and had
not returned to his home late last
night. The parents made no further
inquiries today at the station so it is
presumed that he finally returned.
George Jesse, aged 10 years, who
resides at the corner of Eleventh
street and Ninth avenue, was also
missing last night. The parents failed
to find him after a search and notified
the police IL is also thought that he
returned later in the night as the mat
ter was not reported to the police
further today

The Mississippi Valley Fanciers as
sociation held a meeting last evening
at the Offices of DR.. o. NJ. Myers on
Eighteenth street 1t was announced
during the session that the committee
in charge of the coming poultry show
to be held during Thanksgiving week,

cum in Davenport for the show. This
gives them an advantage over the
Tri-City Fanciers' association in secur-
ing the best quarters available in the
tri-cities for poultry show purposes.
The committee has been working on
arrangements for this exhibition in the
Mississippi valley ever since last No
vember.
Negotiations are in progress with
several of the largest poultry clubs
in the country, and the committee has
practically received final word from
the officers of Plymouth Rock club
of Pennsylvania, that they will par
ticipate. which means that a collec-
tion of over 500 of the finest birds in
the country will be shown from this
club alone.
