DormitorY-Other Plans
The new dormitory, to be erected
near the site of the Colmery house,
which is being razed this week, has
been put nut at bids. The new dor
imtory. according to plans pepared by
Day and Klaude of Philadelphia, will
be an unusually handsome building,
136 feet long and about 80 feet
wide, of brick and stone construction.
The building will be plain and sub
santial looking. four stories in height
in front and three stories high at
the rear. On each Of the complete
floors are eleven study bed rooms and
one study with two adjoining bed
rooms. All the floors are amply pro-
vided with bath rooms and there are
many attractive features Of interior
arrangement. The structure is esti-
mated roughly to cost about S100, 600.
Preparatory to the work OF building,
workmen are engaged in tearing down
and removing all signs Of the Col
mery. Cook. and Geist properties.
The disappearance of the COlmery-
property means the removal Of a
landmark in the locality. The house
which for forty years has been occupied
by the Colmery family, was one of the
oldest in Newark. Its history can be
traced back Ill years, TO 1905, and
it. is said to have been standing some
years before that. More than a cen
tury ago the building was used as the
postofiice. when there was but one
mail a week, brought here on horse
back from Wilmington. When Hiram
Lodge, No, 5 A. F. and A. NJ. Of
Newark, was organized the second
floor of the old building vas used as
a meeting room. The logs with which
the building was erected are still in
an excellent state Of preservation.

PROGRESS OF PROHIBITION

The growth of prohibition sentt- men. during the last decade has been astonishingly fast. This Sentt- meut was not altogether emotion al. It crystallized into law until uor oue-balf Of all the states of The Union have legislated the sa- Iocu out of existence. Nine years asv only three states were dry: Name, 1852; Kansas, 1880; North Dakota, 1889.
 Oklahoma went dry in 1907; two mrre states in 1908; one each in 1909 and 1912. Now note the pro gress of prohibition in the last two years: h 1914, five states went dry; in 1915, five more, and in 1916, six more, if We include Utah and Florida, which elected govern meuts pledged to immediate statu- tor prohibition - practically six teen states within a period of twenty four months. Following is list of the states from which sa- Icons have been or soon will be barred:
 Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, I a. Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Mis- sfsstnuf, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Da- kota Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia.
 Alaska is not included in the states that are considered dry by reason Of the fact that before she Is dry congress mus pass an act prohibiting the manufacture or sale oe liquor.
 That congress will place the Territory in the dry column is a fcreg gone conclusion for the law makers of the nation must take cornizauce of the wishes of the peo- pie, who without any hesitation, without any quibbling, without stntilla of question, has expressed the;r wish by a ballot of almost twr against one that their law makers should enact such laws as are necessary to stamp out the sale of iu' 'oxicating liquor and to pro h.h.t it's manufacture within the territory. This then, virtually places Alaska in the dry territory, for prohibition must follow such an overwhelming expression of the A. assaus' desires.
 All the other states, except Ne vaGa, New Jersey and Pennsylvaa- ia, have local option. Of the g. 543 counties in the United States,
The daily Alaskan., 1916-12-09

only 305 are wet. These S05 coun- ties include most of the large cen ters Of population, but not all of them. Several cities of more than 100000 population are now dry, the largest city being Detroit, which claims three-quarters ef a million Other considerable cities are Portland, Seattle, Spo- rane, Denver Grand Rapids Des Mcines and Atlanta. At the. last election Minnesota chose a govern Or and legislature pledged to sub mt a prohibition amendment and t is likely that within two years S. Paul and Minneapolis will be among the dry cities.
 A national prohibition amend ment would require ratification by three-fourth (thirty six) of the states. At the present rate of progress how long will it be before eleven more states adopt prohi- btion? Then one more step to nationwide prohibition. Are we not, in fact, much nearer a saloon- less nation than most of us are will ing to admit?

CARRY STOMACH JOY
IN YOUR VEST POCKET
Tallman g. Co. Have Such Faith IN
This Dyspepsia Remedy That
They Guarantee 1t.

One of the greatest successes in the
sale of medicine has been achieved by
Mi-o-na, the standard dyspepsia rem
edy, and its sale is increasing so rap
idly that Tallman & co. the popular
druggists, have hard work to keep a
stock on hand. It is very popular
with bankers, ministers, lawyers and
others whose business or profession
keeps them closely confined, while
those who have brought on indlges-
ton through irregular eating, worry
or other causes, have found relief in
this reliable remedy.
Mi-o-na comes In tablet form and
is sold in a metal box especially de-
signed for convenience in carrying the
medicine In the pocket or purse. 1t Is
pleasant to take, gives quick relief
and should help any case, no matter OF
how long standing. This remedy has
been so uniformly successful that Tall
man & Co. will in future sell Mi-o-na
under a positive guarantee to refund
the money II 1t should not prove en-
tirely satisfactory. No other dyspepsia
medicine ever had large enough per-
centage Of cures so that II could be
sold in this manner. A guarantee like
this speaks volumes for the merit of
the remedy.
There is no time. like the present to
do thing that ought to be done. II
any one has dyspepsia. today is the
best time to begin curing II.
