1916 the new dry law of the State of
Washington, put into effect January
1st, apparently gave general satisfac-
ton
The saloons were abolished.
There was less drunkenness.
There were few arrests.
There was little crime of any kind.
Few permits to import intoxicants
were issued.
There was not activity among the
boot-leggers.
Conditions produced by the dry law
were such as to please its most ardent
advocates.
And yet
On January LIST, 1916, there was
more intoxicating liquor IN THE,
HOMES of Seattle and throughout the
state than at any previous time in
their history
During the latter part of 1915, and
especially after the state supreme
court had upheld the dry law, the
stocks of alcoholic liquors and bever-
ages were transferred by sale in enor-
nous quantities from the wholesale
and retail liquor houses to the homes
of purchasers.
In Seattle alone, the sales of intoxi-
cants during the last month of 1915
were estimated to exceed $1,5OO,OOO.
All of this went into the homes
For a period of about sixty days
there was peace throughout the State
Of Washington. Various lines of bust.
ness seemed to be quietly adjusting
themselves to the changes effected by
the closing of the saloon doors. The
newspapers proclaimed that the law
was working well, and the news to
that effect was scattered broadcast.
But, meanwhile
Citizens accustomed, from child.
hood or through many years, to mod.
crate use of alcoholic beverages, were
making steady inroads into the sup.
plies stored in their homes before
January LIST.
Gradually these supplies were ex-
hausted, except in the cases of the
omparatively few who had been able
to invest hundreds of dollars in large
stocks, stored away for future use.
Along in March the first results of
the depletion of home supplies were
noted:
The county auditors office began to
be besieged for permits to import in
toXicants.
There was an ominous increase in
the number of drug stores.
The word began slipping about as to
where blind-pigs were to be found.
The boot-legger began to get busy
These things didn't just merely hap.
pen.
The issuance of permits increased
and the activities of the illicit dealers
became more vigorous in direct re-
spouse to the demand of those who,
in the earlier part of the year, had
been content with what they had pro-
vided for themselves in their homes.
The boot-legger with profound
knowledge of the workings of human
nature, had been content to wait,
knowing that the demand would come,
and prepared to satisfy it, on his own
terms, when it came.
The number of blind-pigs increased

With the return Of alpaca to style q
very practical material becomes the
fashion. Whether In vogue or not. 1t
has been worn under Its more modern
name mohair. for many American wo-
men. who are great travellers as a rule,
have always found this material the
most practical and pretty for the trav-
cling suit.
Under the French name Of "alpaga"
many pretty models have been created
from this material. This fabric seems
to be known under various names.
Just as there are fine and coarse serges,
there are fine and coarse weaves OF
alpaca, says an authority.
Three samples look at a distance very
much the same. On closer inspection
the thinnest and finest weave is mark
ed alpaca or briliantine. The other
two samples resemble each other more
closely The one called mohair IL
little closer weave than that which
goes under the name OF sicilienne. The
brtlliantine looks to be fabric more
suited to dresses the sicilienne and the
mohair to tailored suits and coats.
Cravcnette mohair Is mohair which
has been treated by process so It is
practically ra!nproof and does not spot
or shrink.

Spraying For Cooling Moth.


IN answer to a correspondent who
asks when 1t is necessary to spray for
the codling moth and whether spray
ing for the San Jose scale will hurt
trees already In bloom, BIOLOGIST II. A.
Surface Of the Pennsylvania depart
ment of agriculture says:
1T is always considered necessary to
spray all apple, pear and ounce trees
for this pest when they are bearing
fruit. II there is no fruit on your
trees there is no need to spray for
codling moth. As you doubtless know.
this Is the insect that makes wormy
apples, pears and ounces. Every good
fruit grower sprays for this pest, II
for no other. The first spraying Is
made shortly after the petals or how-
ers fall, and the second spraying Is
made about a month from that date.
The material that should be used is
one gallon and one quart OF strong
lime sulphur solution, either home
made or commercial. In forty-nine gal
Ions of water, and to this is added
either one pound OF dry arsenate OF
lead or two pounds of arsenate Of lead
paste. For the second spray use the
same material as for the first.
where you have much San Jose
scale present 1t is good plan to wash
all the bark of trunks or twigs that
can be reached with a paint brusf
dipped In very strong lime sulphur
solution or very strong thick soap so
luton. or spray the infested trees
when the young are crawling on thu
bark with tobacco decoction, kerosene
emulsion or soap solution. After thu
leaves drop this fall spray again wild

HOW TO PREVENT

Germs Of Polomyelitis. the Crea,

TAI. G. +. BALDUAN, director Of
public education Of the health
department, New York, has ex.
planned how to detect symp-
toms Of infantile paralysis and how
to ward of the disease and prevent its
spread.
The first symptoms are fever, bowel
disturbances. headache and irritability.
After few hours pains develop,
usually in the lower part Of the legs
and In the feet.
Sometimes there are also pains In
the region Of the spine, In the arms
and neck-stiG neck.
Within twelve hours the patient Is
unable to move his arms or legs and
sometimes cannot talk.
Vomiting, dellrium, twltchings and
commissions accompany the progress OF
the disease.
\ temperature Of from 100 to l06 de
grees lasts two or three days.
Sometimes, but rarely, the patient
has chils, sore throat and skin erup.

Have children wash their hands and
faces often.
Avoid buying candy. ice cream and
fruits which are eaten without being
cooked from peddlers and storekeepers
who are not careful Of their wares.
Don't kiss children on their mouths.
Keep their noses clean. This applies
especially TO young babies.
Don't cough In their faces.
Protect them from flies.
The germs of this disease, which are
SO small that they cannot be seen with
microscopes and which pass through
germ filters. almost always enter the
bodies OF their victims through the
mucous membranes OF the nose and

Saturday Holiday.

The beginnings OF the Saturday half
holiday might be traced TO an old-tlme
custom among southern planters. "on
Saturdays" says Professor Sanford In
THE Story of Agriculture" "for either
the whole or a part of the day, the
slaves were released from field work.
In many cases they used his
time and Sundays In which to earn
money for themselves by hiring OUT
and doing odd jobs. There were many

response to changed markets. but such
readjustment is of great value to the
whole community. for such action in
time becomes corrective of the changed
condition from which 1t sprang. Let
us assume. for instance. that there Is
a community engaged largely in live
stock production anu that through some
cause feed prices advance To such n
point that there is more money In sell
ing the raw product than in feeding.
Under such conditions Il large number
Of farseeing farmers will quickly cur

come sellers Of raw feed products.
This In turn has tendency to reduce
feed prices and to increase the price
Of live stock products. thus bringing
about the former balance.
