Does It PAY?
BY Charles Scanlan.


Does it pay to license traffic which lessons the
demand for the helpful things of life which increases
their cost and dmnishes the ability to pay for them
Does it pay to license traffic which makes men
less skfu, less steady less reliable which lessons
endurance lessons sef-respect, and the respect of
Others lessons confidence lessons credit lessons the
demand for food clothing, shelter, and tools with
which to work?
Does it pay to license a traffic which breeds idiots
paupers criminals lunatics, and epieptics and casts
them upon society to be supported by decent honest
Industrious people?
Does it pay to license traffic which increases
taxes by creating necessity for jas penitentares,
asylums, hospitals, almshouses, orphanges reforma
tories, police and criminal courts?
Does it pay to listen to the sophistres and false
hoods of passion prejudice, ignorance appetite, and
greed and close your the voice of conscience,
reason, judgment suffering, religion, and God?
Does it pay to do that which will blanch the cheeks
with fear and make you dumb with terror when at
last you stand in the presence of the Judge OF the
quick and the dead?

Over $65OOO out of total expense of

We believe that our tax rate is high; made
so to care for the product of the saloons and
other places where strong drink is sold.
Mr.. Taxpayer, 20 cents out of every dollar
of your taxes is used for the above items.
There is not one penny paid into the
treasury of Frederick county from the license
fees of the saloons and liquor dealers of Fred
erick city and county. Frederick city gets some
revenue. Emmitsburg gets some and the State
gets the balance. Now, Mr.. Taxpayer, what do
you get? The whskey seller fddles and you
get the privilege of stepping to the music of Is
cents or more on every dollar of taxes out of
that hard-earned money OF yours to care for the
product of the saloons. Mr.. Taxpayer of Fred
erick County, if the saloon is closed how can
the tax rate be raised to make up for loss of
revenue from saloons when Frederick County
does not receive one cent of revenue? Mr. Tax
payer, the safe side Of this question is the Dry
side. Vote to protect your interests, your
homes, your wives, your children and make
Frederick county better place in which to live.

(By Margaret Mason.)
Here is a riddle ask you to read;
What is no cheaper, but dearer
indeed
When it's marked down? If you
give up, perforce,
This is the answer-a Pillow, of
New York, JAN Call it pillow
or cushion, as you will; by any name
it costs as much. Such work of
art, however, has it become that it
almost seems worth it.
A cushion is indeed comfy to have
around one and a round one is the
pink of perfection, especially when
it is made of rose pink taffeta shir-
red on cords and caught together in
the center with cluster of French
ribbon roses.
A robin egg blue one with a bunch
of gold fruit in the middle is also
alluring, but not a round robin. A
heart of gold is heart-shaped, yell
low velour cushion with an edging
of narrow brown fur banding and
then, four fluffy chiffon ruffles, jaun-
ty and jaundiced.
An ablong pillow of sealskin, with
deep ruffles of ecru laces at each
end, caught with garlands of tiny
French ribbon flowers, is something
nifty for a we'll rounded patrician
elbow to rest upon, but it's not for
a red rasped crazy-bone of the hoi
polloi.
An oblong pilloy of sealskin, with
wide, plain banding OF silver gauze,
four cornered, with silver tassels,
makes striking background for a
golden head. Sort of a TRANSMISSION
of metals. Wonderful and bewilder-
ing exotic and Oriental are the boil
ster cushions made of bands of gal
loon, Chinese embroidery, velvet,
fur and beadWork. Because of their
shape they are APPLY dubbed Sausage
Rolls.
So divers and piquant are the many
materials used to make up their per-
feet wholes, that yet another saus
age similarity is accomplished. These
sausage roll cushions are finished,
usually, with silk covered buttons
at either end, or tassels of gal hued
silk or gold. Lingerie pillows still
are the cutups of pillowdom, with
