Prohibitionists Are Victorious.

Once again the senate chamber re-
sounded with "liQuor and prohibition
talk" when under a consideration of
the bill looking to the state taking
advantage of the Webb-Kenyon act,
an amendment was offered to prohibit
by statutory enactment the shipment
of liquor in any quantity to any per-
son in South Carloina, excepting, of
course, shipments to dispensaries. BY
a yea and nay vote of % to 13 the up
per branch tabled the amendment, and
in the opinion of Senator John F.
Williams went on record that they
were not personally in favor OF staet-
wide prohibition that would prohibit"
1t was thought that the amendment
would seriously break the ranks OF
those who fuoght for the prohibition
referendum bill, which passed the SEN
ate by q vote Of 33 to 9. The final
vote showed that seven of the nine
senators who voted against the refer
endum measure aligned themselves on
the side of statewide prohibition by
voting for the Banks amendments to
prohibit absolutely the receiving or
liquor from any point out OF the state
by any person other than the dlspen-
sary. It was maintained, however, Dy
proponents of the referendum meas
ure opposing the Banks amendment
that it would be 'Hllogical In the gen.
eral assembly to vote for statewide
prohibition after it had agreed to
leave the question entirely in the
hands of the people and abide by
their decision.
Those voting against tablspg the
Banks amendment were: Apelt,
Banks, Gross, Harvey, Hughes. Lide,
Manning, McCown, Sharpe, Sinkler,
Walker, Wightman, ]. F. Williams.
Those voting against the Webb act
bill were: Gross, Hughes, Sharpe,
Walker, J. F. Williams; the other
eight members above voted for the
Webb bill, which was sent to the
house with amendments.
The following voted to table the
tie, Black, Brice, Buck, Carlisle, Chris
Banks amendment: Beamguard, Beat
tie, Black, Brice, Buck, Carlisle,
Christensen, Earle, E. C. Epps, R. D.
Epps, CHM, D. B. Johnson, Alan
Johnstone, Ketchfn, Laney, Lee. Null
lins, Nicholson, ODell, Patterson,
Richardson, Sherard, Spigner, Stacy,
tStuckey, Werner, D. r. Williams.
The bill as amended by Senator
Carlisle, was sent to the house on a
yea and nay vote of 36 to 5 for con-
currence in amendments.

Charities Board Bill Passed.

A spirited fight on Senator Chris
tensen's bill to create a state board OF
charities and corrections ended with
the final passage of the measure,
which was sent to the house with sev.
eral minor amendments, The bill
was the subject Of extended debate at
which time Senator Laney raised a
spectacular fire of objections to the
bill, which was ably defended by Sem
ator Christensen.
The essential change from the orig
inal bill was the adoption of an
amendment giving the board the au-
thorDty to ascertain the financial
standing of the inmates Of the state
hospital for the insane, so that those
able to pay their expenses should not
be treated free. Another amendment
reduces the salary of the. secretary
to s2,500 and travelling expenses.
The senate refused to continue the
bill until next session on yea and
nay vote of 2I to IA, the following vot-
ing for its continuance: Banks, Beam
guard, Bleak, Goodwin, Harvey, D. B.
Johnson, Laney, Manning, ODell,
Stacy, Wightman, D. R. Williams.

A, VERY distinctive and elegant
"a. style, and one of the easiest for
the home dressmaker to follow, ia
shown in the dress pictured here. II
Is style especially well adapted to
plump figures. This dress Of velvet,
trimmed with embroidered bands, ia
innocent of waist line, and because
Of this and its other peculiarities .is
altogether out of the ordinary. -.
Imagine the, effectiveness Of a
strong, rich shade of blue, a little
darker than sapphire, in an excellent
quaHty of velvet, when contrasted
with bands of trimming closely GOV.
cred with small steel beads. The com.
bination is very fine, and dark green
or black used instead Of blue will
prove quite as handsome.
There is straight underskirt OF
silk, having the lower part Of velvet.
The simply cut upper garment hangs
over this in lines Of uncompromising
plainness.
The belt and round neck are defined
by the embroidery Of beads, the
sleeves are long and plain. This gown

is a good illustration Of the axiom
that rich materials look best when
simply made up, for y is unusual and
impressive. But the .odel is not suit
ed to commonplace materials.
Another development In an entirely
different material Is equally effective.
This is demonstrated in 8 gown made
of twine-colored net, the overgarment
showing the net laid In side plaits q
half inch deep. But In this gown q silk
cord partly defines the waist line,
which It encircles at the. belt, falling
below 1t at the front and fastening In
knot at one side like a Greek girdle.
The underskirt is Of plain net over a
foundation, of satin in the same color
Although there is no fare In the
skirt or upper garment, they are both
.roomy. It is the lack OF definition of
the figure that adapts the velvet model
to the stout, figure. But in the dress
made Iof net the plating Of the ma
terial and the addition of the girdle
produce gown which is ideal for a
slender figure. ,(1 s. l.

KNOW NOW
And Will Never Forget the Experience.

The coffee drinker who has suffered
and then been completely relieved by
changing from coffee to Postum knows
something valuable. There's no doubt
about it.
"I learned the truth about coffee in a
peculiar way" says California wom-
an. my husband who has, for years,
been of bilious temperament decided
to leave off coffee and give Postum a
trial, and as did not want the trouble
of making two beverages for meals l
concluded to try Postum, too. The re-
suits have been that while my husband
has been greatly benefited, have my
self received even greater benefit.
when l began to drink Postum /
was thin in flesh and very nervous.
Now I actually weigh 16 pounds more
than I did at that time and I am
stronger physically and in my nerves.
while husband is free from all his ails
1--WE have learned our little lesson
about coffee and we know something
about Postum, too, for we have used
Postum now steadily for the last three
years and we shall continue to do so.
"We have no more use for coffee
the drug drink. We prefer Postum and
health"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to Well
ville," in pkgs.
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well boiled.
15c and Csc packages.
Instant Postum-is soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly IN a
cup Of hot water and, with cream and
sugar, makes a delicious beverage In.

The cost per cup Of butA kinds is
about the same.
