THE CABBAGE

A thousand bards have sung the

NATURES ALCOHOL

There is saying in large cities
that when candy store Moves into
block It is sign a saloon is moving
out. Odd as this may seem, it has
q basis in fact. Another fact is that
the consumption of sugar and candy
In the United States is rapidly in
creasins, which is sign of decreas-
ing consumption of drinks.
Every person accustomed to drink
Ing quantities of alcohol, when quit
ting the booze has craving for sug-
al and sweets. This is easily ex-
planned. In our bodies there is con-
stantly generated certain amount of
alcohol that is gained from sugar,
just as the alcohol of drinks comes
from grain that is rotted. The al
cohol in the body is carried by the
blood mostly to the tissues. The al
cohoi person drinks disturbs the
functions of the liver, kidneys and
other organs by making too great
demands on the system. When the
system has become accustomed to
large quantities OF alcohol, however,
there is a strong craving if the sup
ply is suddenly cut of. This abnoit
NAL appetite is appeased by sugar and
candy. The only trouble IL that an
excess of sugar is liable to have an
effect upon the kidneys, but it is not
as bad an effect as that from alco-
holio drinks,

The American Museum of Natural

seals which will form portion Of a
group of these animals. Lack Of
space will delay the completion of this
most interesting group until such
time as a new wing is added to the

northern part of Lower California.
The largest male measures nearly
sixteen feet in length and twelve feet

Elephant seals are the largest of
all seals. and owe their name to the
great size and to the remarkable trunk
or snout developed in the adult male,
which frequently attains a length of
twenty inches. They have been on the
verge of extinction, and are now
found nowhere else in the Northern
Hemisphere, altho formerly very abun-

Results of Tests Made Last
Winter by Kansas City People
Now Announced.

From the Kansas City Star-When the
Southern treatment for Group and
cold troubles-Vick's Vap-O-Rub
Salve-Was being introduced In
Kansas City, Mo-, last spring, the
local druggists naturally were skep-
tical. They wanted to be SHOWN"
that Vap-O-Rub really would relieve
Group and colds just by applying
over the throat and chest. So ar
engagements were made for each
druggist to give away few compIi-
mentary jars to his customers on
condition that they give it a thor
ough trial and report the results.
We give below few extracts from
these reports.
Mrs. James Hollens, 1928 Tracey
Ave, writes-'T have used Vap-O-Rub
for cold in the chest and find it ex-
cellent. and especially so for children.
l have also used it several times for
asthma and find it does wonderful
work"
Mrs. Almira Turner, 1914 E. oath St,
used Vap-O-Rub on her husband who
had bronchitis and relieved him with
two nights applications. Mrs. Turner
has also tried 1t on her children. and
particularly on her four months old
baby. who had a bad cold, and 1T
surely did cure her. / cannot praise II

Utilities Commission Asks Court to

Further litigation, in the Kansas
Natural gas case, was started by the
public utilities commission when the
commission asked the Kansas supreme
court to keep the Kansas Natural re-
ceiver from filing proceedings in the
federal district court that it is as
serted would restrain the commission
from prosecuting two mandamus cases
it filed in the supreme court.
The commission filed two man
damus suits in the supreme court to
force the Olathe Gas company and
the Kansas Natural to live up to its
1906 contracts, which provided that
the local company handle gas on the
percentage basis and also compelling
the Kansas Natural to file all its con-
tracts for boiler and Industrial gas
with the utilities commission. A few
days later a notice was served that
the Kansas atural attorneys would
file a supplemental bill in the federal
district court. The utilities commits
sion wants the case tried in the state

prison. I'm the county jails convicted
prisoners and acknowledged criminals
are in the company of those who never
had a trial and therefore must be
regarded innocent. The seed of crime
and evil influence is sown and takes
root a few months later when the
beginner is released from association
of the convicts.'

What Is a Dollar

We think the following defni-
ton Of a dollar is a pretty good
one:
"A dollar is what some men
promise to pay for their home
paper. 1t is something a news
paper man enjoys more in anti
cipation than reality. 1t is the
price of a days work for some
men and a single nights drink
for others. 1t is what the wife
frequently needs, but seldom
has. 1t is the power that makes
or unmakes men. 1t is the hard
est thing to get and the easiest
thing to get rid of known to
mankind. 1t is a blessing in a
small measure and a curse in
many instances. 1t is mighty
and scarce. No man ever had
more than he wanted and no
man ever will. A dollar is a
snare and delusion and every
one of us are chasing a delusion.
