CONSTITUTIONAL PROHIBITION.

(Anna A. Gordon, President National
 w. C. T. U. and One of the National
 Prohibition Amendment Commission.)
 In order to win national constitu- tional prohibition two-thirds of the and house of representatives must vote in favor of a bill referring the question to the various states for rati- fication through their legislatures. When 36 of our As states through majority vote of their legislatures rat fly the measure thus referred it is adopted and becomes a part of the United States Constitution. Such prohibitory amendment is surely in harmony with the spirit of the Consti- tuition of the United States, which, as it's preamble declares, was established Ito promote the general welfare and secure the blessing of liberty to our selves and our posterity.
 Nineteen commonwealths have al- ready gained the high, dry ground of statewide prohibition. Six states Nebraska South Dakota. Montana, California Idaho and Michigan-vote on the question on November 2. Idaho in the endeavor to change it's statu- tory prohibitory law to constitutional prohibition. The territory of Alaska also closes prohibition campaign on November '. If we can win this ad- ditional prohibition territory and call roll of 26 prohibition states we shall be within ten states of our na- tional goal. The fact that more than half the people and more than three quarters of the area of this country are under prohibitory laws Is assur- ance that we are fast nearing national constitutional prohibition.
 All states will benefit by the amend ment. All will still have power to go just as far as they desire in prohibit ing any phase of the liquor traffic and will have the aid which comes from a national policy. Our greatest diffi- culty today is the difference in policy between the nations government and the prohibition states. With a sim liar prohibition standard in the na- tion and the states federal and state officers would furnish "a frank and candid cooperation for the general good"

'ias - -siIe interiors of buildings as well as yards, streets and alleys.
 The removal of all rubbish and use- less things is most important
 Some revenue can be derived from the sale of waste paper.
 During the "Clean Up and Paint Up" campaign is a good time to have rub bish cans placed upon street corners, for the deposit of paper.
 Nothing will do more to improve the appearance of town than the liberal use of paint.
 Useless and unsightly outbuildings should be torn down.
 Business houses need attention. Rub- bish accumulates in collars, under stairways, in storerooms, passageways, and in the rear of hotels and restau- rants. Look out for RATS here.
 A clean yard is not sufficient; it should be pleasing to the eye. Plant grass and flower seeds. Sod bare spots in lawns. Plant shrubs, vines and trees.
 The thresholds of town should be made inviting to the visitor. This is good time to find out about the sanitary ordinances of the town. How about the regulations in regard to garbage collection, the use of closed garbage cans, manure piles, splitting, toilets, etc? Are they adequate? Are they enforced? Appoint a committee on this subject. Have the ordinance published and distributed widely. It is very important that the Clean Up and Paint Up'' idea be impressed upon the minds of school children.

RUSSIA'S FOUNDATION.

Pierre L. Bark, Russian minister of finance recently declared that Rus sia's prosperity is rapidly on the in- crease.
 "Russias finances rest upon the most solid foundation in the world, said MT Bark The economic pros perity of the Russian people is now greater than was ever conceived pos sible before the beginning of the war There is nothing illusory or spacious about Russia's prosperity. It rests upon the incontrovertible fact of the Russian peoples increased earnings and savings. When a year ago the savings banks showed a monthly in- crease in deposits of 50,0000 000 rubles, it was regarded as phenomenal. But that was only the beginning" Say ings deposits have increased over 1000 per cent under prohibition. This greatly changed condition of Russian finances, Minister Bark explains, is accounted for principally by the grow ing thrift and economy of the peas ants since the enforcement of prohi- bition"

FOR THE SAKE OF BOYS.

Rev John Empringham. an Epis- copal clergyman of New York, be- came. as he expressed it in an interde- nominational meeting of 500 minis ters, filled with the thought of how much power might be added to the anti liquor forces if the Episcopal church would lend some of it's strength" and, realizing that none of the present antisaloon speakers have the entree to it's pulpits,' volunteered for the work. He said to his wife: For the sake of our five boys. am going to wage war against the liquor busi- ness" She replied My sister in Canada has sacrificed her two boys in the trenches for England. The foe destroying this country Is more dan gerous. I am willing to make any sac rifice." Three of those five boys" said MT. Empringham, "are preparing for West Point. and if the need ever came, I would be willing to see them give up their lives in defense of this country. but I am not willing to see them go down to the gutter, victims of the saloon"

"GREATER THAN FIRE L0SS'
 PROF. H. H. KING Kansas State Agricultural College.


 v ACK of paint causes great
 CT annual loss through de-
 terioration than the aggre- gate Kansas fire loss for twelve months. Yes, there is much mere reason for a real Clean Up and Paint Up' campaign than the average layman would at first recognize.
 Paint, as has often been said, serves more than the mere pur- pose of decoration. It's principal value lies in the fact that it pro- longs the life of the surfaces painted.
 Wood and iron, on exposure to the air, undergo a slow proc ess of oxidation, which just as surely destroys them as though they were set on fire, the diff ference being the speed at which the reaction occurs.
 We take out insurance to GOV CT loss by fire and should just as surely put on paint to cover loss by decay. It takes very little calculation to discover the ap- parently astounding fact that the loss through lack of paint ing is greater in Kansas than the loss by fire.
 When the property owner comes to a full realization of the true reason for painting there will be no need for public-spir- ited people to back up a Ma tional Campaign for such pur- pose.

WHAT ABOUT HOG PASTURES.

Soy beans are generally conceded to be one of the South's best crops for hog pasture. Corn in Arkansas is too expensive to feed alone to hogs. Bermuda pasture is good, cowpea pas ture is better, but best of all have some soy beans for the late summer pasture. The medium yellow is a good variety. Get it planted right away if possible. Get some in after the wheat or oats. Get some soy beans planted for the hogs, some for hay, and some for enriching the land. Try them. Try them again.

EXERCISE AND
GRECIAN BEAUTY
WHAT 1T MEANS.

Many thousands of women are now.
a-days paying attention to physical cul-
ture and the proper exercise of their
body muscles, where, thirty years ago
or fifty years ago there was no thought
expended on this science which is
quite necessary to physical beauty. The
reason the Greeks, both men and
women, eNCelled IN beautiful and SYM
metriCal forms was because of the at
tentlon they paid to the proper exer-
else. Then, too, they were untram-
meled by COrscts, shoes and the in
convcnicnces Of clothing, To the minds
Of some women the idea of physical
exercise conveys only the idea of hard
f~atieuing work. Mild exercise con-
tinued day after day is best for the
body and spirits and health. With
0ut proper exercise there can be no
health, and without health there can
be no real beauty.

sound remedial value Of DIR. Pierce's
