The following testimony to the ad-
vantages of prohibition appeared In
one of the newspapers of Sussex coun-
ty, Delaware:
"The county Jail at Georgetown is
without prisoner, and Sheriff Jacob
West is idle The turnkey is on his
vacation, chickens are roosting in the
cells and the Jail yard will probably be
planted in early corn unless another
applicant appears The lone prisoner,
Elwood Armstrong, who was afraid to
stay by himself, was paroled for two
years after having confessed to steal
ing Ave dozen eggs"
Further testimony as to the work
ings of prohibition comes from Kala-
mazoo, Mich. The Gazette of that
city on April 5 contains paragraph
headed, Kalamazoo Without Crime
for 48 Hours-Crimeless Period of
City's History Follows Knockout of
John Barleycorn,' and the item reads:
Rooms for rent. Apply within
This Is the te.S Of a sign which will
likely be tackled on the front door of
central police station in another week
II the period Of quiet continues. Not
a cell door in the station house has
been opened during the last 48 hours.
The bull pen is as barren and quiet
as an abandoned country church.
There has not been a single drunk ar
rested since Sunday afternoon. Crime
in general appears to be at a stand
still"

FINDING QUALITY OF BUTTER
Principal Factors 10 Be Considered
Are Flavor, Texture, Salt and
Appearance of Package.

The principal factors that are con-
sidered in determining the quality of
butter are:
Flavor, texture, color, salt, general
appearance of package.
To few people all butter is very
much alike. To the cultivated taste
and the experienced Judge there are a
great many favors found in butter,
prominent among which are the fol-
lowing: Flat, rancid, cheesy, weedy,
acid and stable aavors.
Churning the unripened cream pro-
duces the fiat flavor; age has the ten
dency to produce rancid flavor; un-
sailed butter develops a cheesy flavor;
the cause Of the weedy flavor is OBJ
vious, the remedy for which is to ex-
terminate the Objectionable weeds
from the pasture and feed silage, kale,
turnips and the like only Immediately
after milking. Overripened cream
that has been held at too low a tenn
perature is found to produce the acid
or bitter flavor; milking from unclean
udders and in filthy and unsanitary
stables are the chief sources of what
is known as the stable flavor in butter.

WORST FOE TO GOOD HEALTH
Serious Ailments That Affect
Dairy Cattle.

by G. w. BARNES, Live Stock Special.
list, Arizona Experiment Station.)
Constipation is one of the worst
foes to good health in cows and to the
pocketbook of the dairyman. 1t is the
starting point of many serious all
ments that affect dairy cattle. 1t
causes the other organs to be over
taxed to throw off the accumulations
Of waste that should pass through the
bowels.
Constipation causes the cow to have
fever which makes such a case really
more serious. There is also marked
decrease in the milk flow, and often
this is the first symptom that the farm
er notices. The farmer or attendant
should keep his eyes open and so feed
as to maintain normal state of
health. The genuine livestock man
will know his individuals so well that
he can tell at once If single animal
gets off feed. The best treatment is
to remove the cause which gives rise
to 1t. The main cause is usually from
feeding too long on nothing but dry
bulk foods. FGaxseed or iinseed Is a
good laxative. If constipation has
lasted long, repeated small doses of
purgatives are better than a single
large dose.

There are some very funny things
In big store besides the things the

For instance: The other day a
small lad, with an unmistakable stamp
Of the country, was trailing his moth

hanging back and she was pulling.
The boy never had been in big
store, and the place was full of many

nounced utter stoppage.

WHAT THE PUBLIC NEEDS.

Life Is getting to be too compli-
Gated for the use of narcotics" said
DR.. S. P. Kramer, the noted surgeon,
in a recent address at the Ricketts,
Research Laboratory, Cincinnati. THE
time was when the farmer could drive
to town and get tanked UP and his
friends would put him in the buggy
and the sober horse would carry him
home. But you can not do that now
with automobiles We know that
most of the automobile accidents are
after dinners where alcohol has been
served, and that not always in ex-
cess"
After describing the effects of alco-
hol as similar to those of chloroform
or ether, except for the fact that 1t
works more slowly, he considered its
effect upon efficiency in various fields
of endeavor, and showed charts prov
ing the lowered working power Of
compositors, bookkeepers and soldiers
after they have taken liquor.
But friend said to me-" remarked
DR.. Kramer, continuing the same line
Of argument, Doctor, you must know
that Mr.. Blank, the jury lawyer, is
more eloquent in his cups, and that
the celebrated actor was more i'm
pressive when drinking I asked this
man if he would want his chauffeur,
his locomotive engineer, his surgeon,
to drink. He said he would not. Now
the orator and the actor are in vocal
pursuits. Alcohol makes them more
passionate. But the judge on the
bench knows that the lawyer is less
capable Of keen analysis when in his
cups, and the trained dramatic critic
will tell you that the drinking actor
is not coming up to what he should.
These men are like the court testers.
The fact is that the higher centers
are off the job. The governor is not
acting and the engine runs wild.
That is all.
mo one nowadays thinks drunken
ness is well. What the public needs
is instruction about the destructive
effect of moderate indulgence"

Out of Iona ExperIence.

Barristers should always be respect
full to the court and accept decisions
with good humor, says DR.. Blake Odg-
ers, who illustrates the proper atti-
tude of the profession.
A young barrister who held differ
emit views from the court, remarked
on one OCCASION that he was surprised
to hear the judge make certain state
ment, whereupon the leading counsel
apologized for his junior on the
ground Of his youth.

ShrapneI In Warfare,

Shrapnel is most effective against
prone skirmishers at ranges from
1000 to 5000 meters, when burst
twenty-eight to twenty-five meters
short of the target, and against stand
ing skirmishers at the same ranges
when burst fifty-six to forty-five me-
tiers short of the target. Black also
poiSts out that a single shrapnel from
light field howitzer produces a
greater number of hits when the point
of burst is favorably situated than one
fred from field gun.
Shrapnel lie also playing most i'm
portant part in aerial warfare, and Of
these antiaircraft shrapnel all of
which embody the same general es-
sentials, there is perhaps none more
effective than that known as 'Ehrhardt
antiaircraft shrapnel."

No two cows are just alike. For

separately and see what each one
needs. The cow that is now giving
milk will use more grain to advantage
than one that has not yet begun the

of this grain in the pail and some into
her own body. To get her up to the

give her generous ration of flesh
