Ancient Uae Of a KIsa.

A Roman woman In the ancient time
was not allowed to drink wine except
II were simple raisin wine. and. how
ever she might relish strong drinks
she could not indulge even by stealth
first, because she was never intrust
ed with the key OF the wine cellar and
second. because she was obliged daily
to greet with a kiss all her own as well
as her husbands male representatives
dowa even to second cousins, and as
she knew not when or where she
might meet them she was forced to be
wary and abstain altogether. for had
she tasted but a drop the smell would
have betrayed her. So strict were the
old Romans I'm this respect that a Ger.
tain Ignatius Mercurius is said to have
slain his wife because he caught her at
the wine cask-a punishment which
was not deemed excessive by Romuius.

1t is stated on seemingly good
authority that the many manufac-
turing concerns in this country that
have been busy for the past eighteen
months on orders for munitions for
the European Allies, have. had their
real harvest season. In fact, the
intimation is pretty strong that the
present orders will practically wind
up this very profitable trade. This
does not necessarily mean that the
war is soon to come to an end, but
that the foreign nations are now in
position to manufacture their own
munitions. The falling off of this
vast volume of business will be felt
in many manufacturing centers Of
the United States.

PROHIBITION GOVERNORS.

PROHIBITION GOVERNORS.
Each of the seven states which out
lawed the liquor traffic January l Is
fortunate in having a governor who
is heartily in favor of prohibition and
will uphold the law.
Governor Carlson of Colorado says
he will enforce II even to the extent
OF calling upon the state militia. Gov
ernor Lester of Washington urges an
appropriation OF $4,000 to be used
In enforcement. Governor Witty
combe OF Oregon expresses confidence
that an overwhelming majority OF the
citizens Of the state mean to see that
the provisions of the law are lived up
to and that they may count upon his
help to the utmost. Governor Alex
ander's vigorous championship OF the
statutory prohibition law OF Idaho is
we'll known, and his personal influence
was used to secure the referendum on
the constitutional amendment to be
taken next November.
When Governor Hay OF Arkansas
signed the prohibition bill, he said: Il
believe the most manly act OF my life,
an act that will mean much to me, to
my conscience. to my wife, to my two
little boys, and to the people OF the
state to which / owe 80 much, was the
act / performed when placed my sig
nature to the bill which gave Arkansas
statewide prohibition"
The attitude of Governor Clarke OF
Iowa is indicated by his remarks when
he signed the measure repeating the
mulct law and putting into effect state
wide prohibition: "The Punishment OF
the saloon ought to mean the emanci-
patton of many q laboring man, the
Joy of the wife in his home, better
conditions and better outlook on life
for his child"
South Carolina's governor In his
New Years greeting declared that,
with the help of God and the sup
port of tho people the prohibition law
shall be rigidly enforced 30 long as
/ am governor"

WATCH YOUR LIBRARY.

While getting ready to inaugurate a
prize essay contest. a w. c. T. u.
woman Investigated the public local
library to see what the children would
find In the way Of reference books,
and discovered that Of ten books on
the temperance shelf seven were
against total abstinence and prohibi-
tion. Among these were Religion
and Drink" Drink, Temperance and
Legislation" "A Text Book of True
Temperance" Alcohol. the Sanction
for It's Use." Prohibition, the Enemy
Of Temperance" Prohibition, It's Re-
lation to Temperance" Good Morals
and Sound Government" The local
union Immediately called the attention
Of the library board to the incon-
sistency of permitting the liquor inter
ests to teach intemperance through
the city library. when the law express
ly provides that the children shall be
taught in the schools the evil effects
Of drinking liquor.
