A SAMPLE ARGUMENT.

Because you CANNOT PROHIBIT MURDER, why not LICENSE IT?'
 That is the Prohibition argument on the Presbyterian billboard this week. It is a sample of the intel ligence of Prohibition tactics, and worth considering.
 Murder is an interference with per sonal rights Personal rights are guar anteed in the Constitution of the Unit ed States. The right to live is the right of all, and to interfere with that right is a crime. Crime is not licens- ed. The right to sell liquor is a busi- ness and is licensed. It interferes with the rights of nobody. It does not compel anybody to drink CT try to do so The liquor seller nor the liquor drinker try to induce Prohibitionists to drink-the Prohibitionists try to prevent those who want a drink from getting it, which they have no Con- stitutional or legal right to do.
 The Billboard, however, in it's text shows the first Prohibition laws of the world, and one of them was "Thou shalt not" commit murder Murder is committed, frequently, in spite of the love and respect the people have for the Great Prohibitionist At the same time it must be remembered in His favor that He did not TRY to prohibit DRINKING-in fact, He is alleged in biblical history to have gone into the manufacture of wine up- on occasion. Whenever a banquet was on and looked due to be spoiled by lack of wine, He manufactured the wine for the occasion.

in grown people this is not com mon source of infection, it is com mon source in little children who drink much uncooked cows milk. The germs are carried by the milk into the bowels through whose walls they pass and enter tho system through the lymphatics, lodging usually in the glands around the roots of the lung, or in those attached to the intestines. Therefore, unless one is certain that the COW which supplies the milk is free from tuberculosis (which can be told by a test that a good veterinary doctor can easily make), the only safe thing is to pasteurize or boil all milk which is used by the children of the household.
 Other Sources of Infection.
 There are a number of other sourc- es of infection, but they are not very important and we need only mention a few, such as the kissing of consump- tives; the regular use of their unwash- ed dishes or clothing, and careless contact with the pus or other dis charges from tuberculous sores. It has been shown that there can be a danger of infection from the unwash- ed hands of consumptives, and all such patients should wash their hands, faces and mouths frequently.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KIN ABOUT
 TUBERCULOSIS USEFUL FACTS FOR THE HUBER. cULoSIS AND THOSE LIVING
 WITH THEM.
Continued from yesterday)

The Danger of Infected Rooms.
 No one should move into a new | lodging without finding out first some thing about the last lodgers, and mak- ing a careful disinfection of the rooms if the previous residents were sick or | coughed badly In the dark corridors o fmany houses the germ may live for a long time and unfortunately many people who would not spit on the floor of a bedroom, will do so on the floor of a corridor. If every one who reads ! this will see to it that his home is kept strictly clean, that as much sun light as possible is admitted to it, and that no one is allowed to spit there carelessly, it will do much to lessen his family's danger of catching this l disease.
 Dangers of Sweeping And Busting.
 The dry sweeping of rooms should never be allowed, as it raises clouds of dust, which may contain the germs, which are thus breathed directly into the lungs. Therefore, all broom sweep ing should be preceded by strewing the floor with damp sawdust, old tea leaves or bits of wet paper or some- thing similar, and if it is at all pos sible, vacuum sweeping or cleaning should be used.
 How Working Men Infect One
 Another.
 Outside of the home, there is much danger in shops, workshops, factories and mills. Experience shows that both clerks and workmen too often spit promiscuously on the floor of their work places, and since many of them, often without knowing it, have the disease, they infect their fellow workmen, and every year thousands of American laborers are made sick in this way. If only our labor unions knew the great danger to hteir mem- bers from the careless splitting habits of sick workmen, they would insist that every one who spits should use a spittoon containing water with tablespoonful of carbolic acid to the pint, and they would see to it that those who persist in breaking this rule should be dismissed from the union. In this way they could greatly lessen the number of their members who get this disease.
 Infection From a Coughing Patient.
 "Dropet Infection"
 Infection also comes about from a patient spraying out and scattering around fine drops of moist spit when he coughs or sneezes. This could be entirely avoided if every one formed habit of covering his mouth with handkerchief at such times. This danger is so real that public opinion should enforce such a custom.
 Infection Through Milk.
 The germ may also be taken into the body in uncooked cows milk. Cows frequently have tuberculosis and the germ may get Into the milk, sometimes in large numbers. While

opium, BqueaIed" on them with the
result that they were arrested and are
now abiding In Oahu prison.
The Chinese came to Honolulu In
the British ship Natica on May %,
this year. Choy was an oiler and Sin
q fireman. The vessel called here for
oil. Shortly alter the arrival of the
vessel federal officials went aboard
and arrested the Chinese on charge
of having opium in possession. Five
tins of unstamped opium we're taken
as evidence. After a hearing they we're
bound over to the federal grand jury
for investigation, : :.
According to the story the Chinese
have told their attorney, E, A Don't
hftt, a Chinese informer boarded the
vessel shortly before the arrest and
found one of the defendants smoking
opium. The informer asked for q
smoke and was given not only one
but several, say the defendants.
Then. they claim, the fnformer tried
to purchase some OF the opium, but
Choy and Sin refused. saving that
their supply was not for sale but Tor
their own use. Their arrest followed
