Cocoanut Frostina

Beat the whites of eggs dry; gradually
beat in half cup of sifted confectioner's
sugar and continue the beating until the FROST

grated cocoanut, fresh or prepared, and

thick by beating rather than by sugar.

Personal Liberty Has Its Limits

"A man may not even do with his own body what
he pleases," says Mr. Charles Stezle.
Suppose he tries to kill ito commit suicide
If he succeeds, Billy Sunday says he will go to hell
If he fails he will go to jail And yet if the United
States government should decide to go to war with
Germany, any other nation, it assumes the right
necessary to send him to the front be shot down.
He belongs to the state as we'll as to himself. We
have recently passed most stringent laws against the
sale and of certain kinds of drugs because of the
great injury which their use inncts upon the human
mind and body.
IF the state should decide that the saloon is a
menace, and that it dspenses poison then society has
right to say that the saloon 60 no matter how
1t may affect anybody's personal liberty We accept
the restriction which the state imposes upon in
other relationships. Why not accept it with regard
to the saloon, especially since has been clearly
demonstrated that the interests of the saloon are al
ways opposed to the interests of the workingman?"

Kewanee has been legally dry since April, 1914,
but has been far from actually dry. The good citi-

Of the fact that dry law will not enforce ITSELF and
for several weeks they have been busy cleaning out
bootleggers and other vioators of the liquor laws.
They have been doing this without any outside
help The Mayor, Chief of Police and City Attorney
have been securing convictions through the regular
court channels This is splendid work and the peo-
pie of Kewanee should back them up in it.

SUBMARINE TACTICS.
Locating the Enemy, Getting the Range
and Making an Attack


How does submarine attack? How
does 1t locate the vessel it wishes to
torpedo and how does it proceed about
the business of sending such vessel to
the bottom? Here is the way the COM
mandcr Of Uncle Sans submarine tlo-
tilla tells it:
"A submarine will come to the sur
face at 5000 or G,OOO yards from the
vessel 1t Is attacking-far enough so
the enemy is not supposed to see the
pcriscope. 1t stays up long enough to
get the enemy's course, then goes down
and sets its course to intercept the en-
emyS ship.
Tho vessel must be coming more Or
less toward the submarine, otherwise
the submarine, with its low submerged
speed. cannot catch It.
The officers Of the submarine will
know the revolutions Of the approach
ing ship and will use the gyrocompass
with which to work out It's exact posi-
ton. They will know just when to
come up to be within range.
when the submarine comes I'D it
will show the periscope as little as DOS
sible, take quick aim and fire It's first
torpedo. If it wants to remain there
out Of curiosity to see the effect it can
But If 1t does not it goes right down
again.
1t stays short time under water,
turns the cap bringing new torpedoes
up into the tubes and then comes I'D
for second shot If ."-Pitts-

1t is all right to harp about the
old time religion:' Might as
well cry for the old time methods
of light. But who wants to go
back to the pine knot, the dip light
and candle times? True, they all
gave light and satisfied the people
in those days, but the coal oil and
electricity now in Use, were in ex-
lstcnce then, but unknown. Pre-
Cisely as science has brought then,
forward, SO should advanced sci
enCe in religion change the manner
of worship. If a person away back
then, had declared he could harnc S.
electricity and make it talk over
land and sea; light the world sing
songs, make speeches, and take
down conversations, no doubt he
would have been declared a witch

I'm 1910, on a Saturday afternoon.
three Dundee flax spinners were walk
ing to their beautiful residences in
Broughty Ferry, about four miles east
Of Dundee. on the banks Of the Tay,
and as usual StrOllcd along the docks
At that time there We're several Clip
per line sailing vessels trading with
Dundee in Indian products. principally
grain. linsecd, etc. and on this par
ticular Saturday one Of these vessels
was diScharging her miscellaneous
cargo, and these canny Scots observed
a fibre in some quantity on the dock
and made inquiry rs to what it was
"They were told it was some Indian
product that had been obtained in
Bengal. and was suitable for the dun
mage of ships. They examined the
fibre little more carefully and all
thought it would be possible to spin
the fibre on their flax machinery. The
result was that Mondav morning they
made bee line for the agents Of the
ship and asked what they were going
to do with this waste material.
"They got the reply, We propose
dumping 1t into the river and when
they expressed Il wish to experiment
with it they were told they could cart
1t away from the dock and were well
come to 1t If they paid the carriage.
Thus the jutc industry startcd-for the
fiber turned out to be nothing less than
what we know commercially today as

failed. Thousands Of good citizens

good one has, because Of the old
Virginia slave debt-a curse and
farce. But, in the midst of all the
fuss and curses, III steps a whiskcy
man and offers to pay the twelve
million, plus thousands Of dollars,
and relieve the christian agitation
over the debt that brings on worry
and suicide. If God OWNS the cat
tie on thousand hills and has the
world S wealth in gift for those who
serve Him, why don they pay it?
Because and only because the sa-
loon people understand their bust
ness better than a caste christianity
does it's. All whiskey drinkers are
brothers. They walk, eat and
sleep together. The children of
God turn up their noses, scorn and
eschew the poor, and unfashionably
dressed, and when the churches are
closed and the poor starving the
saloons are open giving a drink and
a meal for S cents. Wake up or go
