Why does woman chafe under re-

PROHIBITION PROHIBITS.

Incidentally. one of the interesting
reults OF the prohibition sweep which
is causing comment here is indicated
by the New York stock market reports,
says Washington ID. c. correspond
ent. About ten months ago the shares
OF the Distilleries Securities company
were quoted around nineteen and
twenty-and on one occasion twenty
two. Then they tobogganed down to
fourteen, fluctuated there short time,
and took other drops. until they were
quoted two and half and five and a
half. This is the lowest record ever
reached, and is credited to the fact
that many distilleries in the dry and
prospectively dry states have gone
into voluntary liquidation. while In
Ohio and Illinois many brewery com
panies have been placed in the hands
of receivers.

WAR AGAINST ALCOHOL.


Get on the water wagonl" is now
the slogan OF the New York health

which affects the health of the people
OF q city is a subject of concern to
the health officials" and In accord

ish the chief factor in causation.
There are too many people sick from
liquor In New York city-that's enough
for me. / want II understood
that this Is to be a real fight. II is
not enough to make occasional depre-
catory mention OF alcohol and Its re-
suits; we must have a definite antial-
cohol program. The work OF the
health department in this field will
henceforth be systematic, aggressive
and unremitting." Every means OF
publicity will be utilized in this cam
paign. It will be spectacular and in
the vernacular, the rich mans cham
payne and highballs, as well as the
poor mans third rail" whisky and
beer, will be the object of attack.
For months the New York state
board of health has been giving out
to the press Of the state. under the
title Health Hints" strong state
ments concerning the injurious effects
of alcohol. Therefore the action now
taken by the New York city board is
not great surprise. It is being warm
ly commended by members of the
medical profession, and without doubt
health officials of other cities will fol

HAD THE LAUGH ON HIMSELF
Mlser Got Away With the Oatmeal
and Also Succeeded In Saving
Precious Whisky.

J. F. Hartz of Detroit, the doyen OF
the American Surgical Trade associa-
ton, said at the fftieth annual con-
ventlon in New York:
THE war has kited the price of car
bolic acid up to S1.65 a pound-it sold
before the war at nine cents a pound.
The hospitals that use carbolic acid
now have to be as economical and
sparing as old Josh Lee.
"Old Josh Lee was a miser, and he
breakfasted every morning on oat-
meal. To save fuel he cooked his
weeks supply of oatmeal on Sundays
This supply. by the time Saturday
came around, was pretty stiff and
tough and hard TO down.
"One Saturday morning old Josh
found his oatmeal particularly unap-
petizing. II had a crust on II like
iron. He took a mouthful of the cold.
stiff mixture-then he half rose, think
ing he'd have to cook himself some
eggs.
But he hated to give in. He hated
to waste that oatmeal. So he took
out the whisky bottle. poured a gen.
erous glass and setting 1t before his
plate. he said:
Now, Josh. II you eat that oatmeal
you'll get this whisky; and II you
don't you won't
THE oatmeal was hard to consume,
but Josh. with his eye on the whisky,
managed 1t. Then, when the last
spoonful was gone. he grinned broad
ly. poured the whisky back into the
bottle again, and said:
Josh, my son, fooled you that
time,- you old idiot! Washington

Bathing Trains for Soldiers.

All the commanders OF the various
armies now fighting recognize how ex-
tremely important in every way is
cleanliness. The better the sanitary
arrangements and the cleaner that
everything is kept the less chance is
there of cholera and other diseases
spreading and causing more deaths
than do rifle bullets and shells.
Special arrangements are made at
the front by the commanders OF the
allies to enable the soldiers to have
hot baths as frequently as possible.
The Germans have gone step
farther though, for they are now us.
ing specially constructed bathing
trains which travel as near the front
as possible.
Each train consists of locomotive
tender. water tank car, three cars fit
ted up with hot baths, and number
of cars fitted up with separate com
partments where the soldiers can have
cold shower baths.
The tank car contains $500 gallons
OF water and each train allows so sol
i diers at time to have hot bath.
