DORA KEEN WRITES OF
 THRILLING EXPERIENCE.

Dora Keen, the famous mountain climber, who recently married George William Handy, of Mccarthy, who ac- companied her in her great climb of Mount Blackburn, has an article in the october Scribner, describing an ascent of the difficult Giants Tooth in the Alps. It is a vivid narrative of adventure, and you cant help admir- ing the pluck and splendid courage that inspired such an effort. There are some fine photographic illustra- tions. She says:
 But there was a zest in the com bat, challenge to will-power and tao tics, as well as to endurance and muscle, in that seemingly inaccessible summit There was the thrill of ad- venture in every step, and with every foot won a sense of accomplishment a new consciousness of power, which brought confidence and strength for the fray.

SOME THING NEW IN PROH|B
 STATE

Prohibition is the father of ingenu. ity. The Washington CD. O. Post tells how the clever ones are beat ing" prohibition in their own little way
 Grand Forks, N. D., is a prohibi tiOn town, but that does not mean that visitors in Crank Forks or the resi- dent thereof can not get all they want to drink remarked Frank Brennan, lawyer of Chicago, at the New Will lard.
 Grand Forks is on the line between North Dakota and Minnesota, and Minnesota is not dry. But they have a different method of supplying those who want glass of beer or a drink of liquor from most of the towns be- tween wet and dry states. I observed after had been in the town for a few hours that there were a great many one horse carriages old style ve- hicles - that paraded up and down the principal street. Every once in a while you could see one of these car riages drive up to the sidewalk and then drive off quickly in the direction of the bridge that spans the stream be-
 
 tween the states.
 Tt took me some time before I got on to the reason; then I observed that the driver of the carriage always responded to the call of a pedestrian. The latter only had to give the high sign and one of the vehicles would go up alongside the walk. when a man or men would jump in and ride away. Tn about five minutes you could see the same vehicle drive back and un- load its passengers. They had i'm. bibed all they wanted or needed.
 Tt was the finest harlesque, on pro. hibition that l have seen anywhere. It has been my observation that there has been a reaction setting in in the western states. Many of the towns in local option states that have been dry have voted recently to go back into the wet column, and in Vermont

Next time you say ''what'n you have. |"

better whisper II. or safer STILL don't
murmur these words at an. q
To do so may land YOU in the Police
Court, according to Judge. Pugh's In
depreciation OF the law as laid down In
the case Of Florence Cook, colored.
Florence found out yesterday when
brought before Judge Pugh that 1t il
unlawful to dispense intoxicating liquor
to your guests at q party according to
an act Of Congress. The defendant had
a party Thanksgiving Day and treated
her guests to beer. Her attorney asked
the court to suspend Judgment pending
an appeal to the Court of Appeals
Attorney James A o'shea argued that
Congress In passing the law did not
intend that It should apply to case Of
treating friends. Judge Pugh said the
law reads that Intoxicating liquor must
not be given away.
"a person Is guilty Of violation Of the
law who treats another in q barroom to

GOVERNMENT GUARDS
HEALTH OF CITIZENS

Refutation Of the statement that the
government does not cofcern itself with
the loss from preventable disease Is con-
tanned in the annual report Of the Sur
geon General Of the Public Health Service
submitted to Congress yesterday.
Activities ranging from the prevention
and cure of blindness, scientific studies
of pellagra, the protection of the health
Of industrial workers, the prevention Of
the introduction of typhus fever, investi-
cations Of child labor and health insur-
ance, the eradication Of communicable
diseases and the control Of the pollution
of navigable streams, are recited to show
that the government is vitality concerned
In the health Of citizens.
One achievement relates to pellagra,
an affliction which in certain States
destroys more lives than tuberculosis.
Pellagra is no longer a mystery as the
Health Service has shown that It is
caused by a restricted diet and that It
may be prevented and cured by properly
balanced diet.
