guests and entertained them in the
most approved fashion.
During every moment between the
business sessions of the convention
the merchants were the recipients of
some form of entertainment and
amusement. Included In the plan OF
entertainment were boat rides and ex-

Among the vital matters to the

CONVEY MUCH In FEW WORDS
Japanese Proverbs Pungent. and Their
Repartee Apt to Be Keen
and Singing.

It has been said that the Japanese
are as apt and unique In their proverbs
as they are In their works of art,
What. for example. could be more ap-
propriate to men In certain desperate
circumstances than this: MAN may
shout when he can no longer swim?"
While the tongue works the brain
sleeps" Is another saying of the jap
anese, which expresses their contempt
for loquacious persons.
The Japanese are quick at repartee;
their their wit is keen and tempered tempered, and
they can often administer a perfect
snub In brief, terse form. In illustra-
tion of this there may be cited the fol-
lowing instance:
There was being tried In court a
case involving the possession and own
ership Of piece of property. The lit
igants were brothers. The holder, who
was clearly not the rightful owner, had
assaulted and elected his brother and
was protesting his right to defend his
claim.
The examining magistrate listened
very patiently to him until he closed
with the words, Even cur may bark
at his own gate" Then the Judge
quantity voiced the judgment, as II
stating an abstract point of lava
dog that has no gate bites at his own
risk"

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

vention in New YORK:
THE war has kited the price Of car.
bolic acid up to $1.65 pound-it sold
before the war at cents 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. 1t had crust on 1t like
iron. He took mouthful Of the cold,
stiff mixture-then he half rose, think
ing he'd have to cook himself some

out the whisky bottle, poured gen

CHICAGO GOING DRY.

Billy Sundays message to Chicago
to the effect that Batter Booze has
three balls and two strikes called on
him." prompted Chicago Tribune to
interview some of the downtown sa-
loonkeepers. This what one oldtimer
said:
Three balls and two strikes isn't
putting 1t strong enough. The bats
half swung on the third strike now,
way over the ball. You can go from
one end of the loop to the other and
crisscross, and you won't find single
saloonkeeper making money. In some
where between three and five years
this towns going to be dry as Evan
ston. The women are going to do 1t,
and / don't much blame them. It's
the women the things hit. Who suf-
fers when good fellow making $1S
a week, shows his sporting blood
by spending four or Ave Of it over
the bar on pay day? Say, it's trag-
edy for that woman! So, what's she
going to do? Just stop it, put her foot
down and her vote down. Three balls
and two strikes, Ell? You can Just
call that third strike now"
There's no doubt about It," said
another, Chicago is going dry. We
all know that, and SO far as we are
concerned down here in the loop, II
might as we'll be dry now"

WAR AGAINST ALCOHOL.
Get on the water wagon!" is now
the slogan of the New York health
department. It's head, DR.. Sigismund
s. Goldwater, says that anything
which affects the health of the people
of city is a subject of concern to
the health officials" and in accord
ance with this view he has declared
war on liquor. 1T is nonsense" he
says, ito go on fighting disease and
crime II we don't do something to abol-
ish the chief factor in causation.
There are too many people sick from
liquor in New York city-that's enough
for me. / want 1t understood
that this Is to be real fight 1t is
not enough to make occasional depre-
catory mention Of alcohol and its re.
suits; we must have 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. 1t 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. 1t is being warm
ly commended by members of the
medical profession, and without doubt
health officials of other cities will fol
low the lead.

PROHIBITION PROHIBITS.

Incidentally, one or the interesting
reults of the prohibition sweep which
is causing comment here is indicated

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
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.

you must live downtown-if you
