prohibit the use of yeast bread and the Beauty
Doctor would Danish that old Southern favorite
salt rising" bread. She would go further and
prohibit the manufacture sale and use of common
salt. Senator Sheppard finds that the products
of yeast say their thousands, but the Beauty
Doctor could tell him that the Chinese have COM
mttcd suicide by thousands by eating salt in i'm
moderate quantities.
- Both salt and liquor have been associated with
man since Adam and Eve departed from the
Garden of Eden, as food and in social customs.
The man who could not carry his liquor con-
sidered not worth his salt; and to eat ones salt or
drink his liquor to be placed under his sacred
protection as a guest The salt licks were the
days of this country, and some of the colonists
made laws against the shooting of deer or bear at
the salt licks, defining such hunting barbarous.
There, too the beginning of our conservation
policy, when the salt licks and salt springs were
conserved public property which could never
be alienated by the State.
We have made great progress in civilization,
and it may be that will some day reach that
stage of perfection when we will get along with
out either liquor or salt But still insist that
he who is most worthy to be honored by his
fellow man is the salt of the earth, just as we
hold to the old King James version of the Bible
in which the most holy associations are given to
wine. Until we can revise history, both sacred
and proiane and invent a new language, both
Senator Sheppard and the Beauty Doctor will
find much Encouragement in their campaigns for
prohibition.

What lmpels People to Go and Listen
to Billy" SundayP

Editor of The Washington Herald: As a
daily reader OF your paper. l very natu-
rally read about the great Sunday
meeting on Monday. Kindly permit a
quotation and a question or two.
Quoting: Never before did the Capital
City witness such an eager throng thirst
ing for the Gospel
Question: Do you believe that anybody
believes that 1t was a thirst for the Cos
pei that took upward OF 5000 people 10
Convention Hall yesterday, or do you be-
lieve the impelling force was principally
curiosity and a craving for the speCtaCu-
lar, and that the intelligence of Washing
ton realizes the fact, even that part OF It
which was present?
Question: II you believe Washington
has such a Gospel thirst, how do you ac-
count for the comparatively small attend
ance upon places of worship where the
Gospel is regularly preached by ADLER
men. perhaps?
This is not in criticism OF Mr.. Sunday.
nor his methods; We only question the
sincerity Of the quotation.

American Manufactures.

Editor of The Washington Herald: In
our efforts to preserve and promote the
American market for made-in-America
products. it is well to remember that. in
the long run, trade goes to the concern
or the country that deserves it. There
undoubtedly exists among n certain class
of people in the United States an un-
worthy, unpatTiotic preference for for
eign mark. but this toady sentiment can
not cut much figure If the American
manufacturer and the American dealer
combine to eXtinEuish it. The interests
OF each are identical in the matter, and
each must do his part in the Upbuilding
and preservation of American supremacy
in trade. If there is any particular in
which goods made abroad excel those
produced in this country it is the patri-
utic duty OF the dealer to work with the
manufacturer for the Improvement OF
the domestic article. II foreign service to
customers is more intelligent that that
of the American manufacturer the home
concerns should get on the job.
Neither the American manufacturer nor
the American retailer can expect to hold
the American market for made-n-Amer-
lea products unless each is sure that his
expectation is based on the solid fOunda-
tion of merit. KARL +. BRODT.

In the course Of years fine tailoring establish

cheaply than the tailor shops, there is plenty Of
business.

A few wears ago a New York millionaire said
to an acquaintance: 81 am going into co-opcra-
tive industry. I going to try to do something
for other people. There isn't any distinction any
more in merely being millionaire"
He meant that it was ceasng to be credit for
a man to amass a great fortune by working solely
for himself.
And yet how we used to honor the man who
worked solely for himself.
1t is something that we have reached the point
where we can sec how false the old attitude was.
1t is plain that working solely for oneself
many mean, in the case OF highly successful work
ers iniquitous consequences to Others
And yet there is a certain pathos, too, in their
solicitude for public approval.
And the good the monaires do may be none
the less real because of the contradiction involved
in their position, just the harm done by that
home for fallen women need not reflect upon the
sincerity OF its purpose.
The whole trouble lies in not seeing beneath
the surface of things down into the real causes
The trustees of that home don't see the harm
they do in letting those women work for sweat
shop wages.
They only see the immediate advantage as
most of us do where own interests or sym
pathies are involved.
And the mionaires, in taking from the public
princely revenues, each for himself, by the per-
sonaI bias that every minute of the day influences
you and me, is made to think he is getting merely
his merited reward.
The great need, you see is for education.
The trustees of that home for fallen women
need it.
The millionaires need il.
You and | need il.
But we can't all get it until economic condi-
tons make it possible for Us all to get it.

RAVAGES OF THE MONGOCSE;
REWARD FOR ITS EXTINCTION

Kingston, Jamaica, Sept. 14-(Cor-
respondence of the Associated Press.
The introduction of the mongoose
into the West Indies some forty years
ago has upset the order of nature
there much as it has in the Hawaiian
Islands. Just as in Hawaii, these
ferret-like animals from India not
only destroyed snakes and rats in the
sugar cane fields, the object for which
they were imported, but proceeded to
clean out the wild birds OF the island
as well as poultry yards, pigs, kids,
lambs, newborn calves, Puppies and
kittens. In the West Indies, they
have consumed the lizards, with the
result that insects have increased to
an alarming extent.
1t was less than twenty years after
the four male and five female mon
goose were turned loose in Jamaica
that the government had to appoint
commission to investigate. This
body drew up severe indictment
against the animal, adding to his
| diet not only all birds nesting on or
near the ground and the young of The
farm yard, but turtles, land crabs
bananas, pineapples, sweet potatoes
cacao and even fish, which he catch
es with his paws. Worst of all there
was the charge that while protecting
tho sugar cane from his enemy, the
rat, he even bit and drank the juice
Of young canes.
In late years, outcries against The
| mongoose have come from othel
islands. In Trinidad, the governmen
offered q reward for the body or tai
of each mongoose, but instead o
reducing the pest, it only set some
of the natives to mOngOose breedn!
Tor the reward.
Prizes have been offered here o,
an agricultural society for an effect
