LID TIPPED FREQUENTLY

London, Dec. 1.-THE lid" is being
tilted so often by saloonkeepers in
England that the liquor dealers them
selves, fearing this continued winking

interests of prohibition, have launched
a movement for more rigid enforce
ment of the law.
1t is proposed that any violations
OF the regulations will result in the
suspension of the license until the
end OF the war. Another proposal is
that second violation of the law be
punished by Imprisonment, and that
the offender be debarred from further
employment in the liquor trade.
In Birmingham the liquor interests
have organized vigilant police sery.

Soap as an Antiseptlc.

Some medical authorities, explaining
the abatement of epidemic diseases in
modern years, are sufficiently free
from professional ties to attribute this
betterment Of conditions, not to medi-
cal science but to increased use of
soap and water. The Homeopathic
Envoy is of the opinion that with
clean house and clean person no one
need have much fear of infection. A
writer in the New York Medical Rec
ord says: "Soap is now recognized to
be antiseptic and to be efficacious must
produce a lather. Bacteria rubbed
into soap or dropped on it's surface are
incapable of multiplication. The ty-
phoid bacillus is very sensitive to soap,
being killed by 5 per cent solution
in a short time. Mere than half the
total number will die in one minute.
The thorough use Of a pure potash
soap is not only mechanical method
of cleansing, but is an active factor in
cutting down germ life"

To Pet a Horse.

"Not many people know how to pet
a horse-from the horses standpoint,
at any rate said a trainer. Every
nice-looking horse comes in for a good
deal of petting. Hitch fine horse
close to the curb and you'll find that
half the men, women and children who
go by will stop for minute, say,
Nice horsey,' and give him an affec-
tionate pat or two. The trouble is
they don't pat him in the right place.
First rub his eyelids. Next to that
form of endearment, a horse likes to
be rubbed right up between the ears.
In petting horses, most people slight
those nerve centers. They stroke the
horses nose. While a well-behaved
horse will accept the nasal caress COM
placently, he would much prefer that
nice, soothing touch applied to the
eyelids. Once 10 while person
comes along who really does know how
to pet a horse. Nine times out of ten
that man was brought up in the coun-
try among horses, and learned when
child their peculiar ways"

Walton shouted the name and dashed
across the street. He caught sight of a
shabbily dressed, dissipated looking
man. There was an expression in Wal
toms eyes like to that of shipwrecked
sailor catching at a life buoy. He
grasped at. the arm of the man, pulled
him TO one side and demanded abrupt
ly:
"Moreland, do you want to make a
hundred dollars?"
The other stared at his interlocutor
incredibly. Then his tricky eyes gilt
tered.

money. Go as my substitute. answer
to my name. No one knows me in the
court. Serve the week, or two weeks,
as Arthur Walton, and!yes, I'll give
you two hundred dollars the day you
bring me your juror certificate"
"That's settled" announced More
land, scamp and constituencies merce-
nary. "rll do the job and none the
wiser. An advance would give me bet
ter courage, though"
"Here, !" and Walton counted out fifty
dollars. @The balance when you are
discharged from jury service. Don't
fail me-" and off rushed Walton, re-
lieved, joyful, never realizing the re-
suits of his impetuous action.
Retribution was a first consequence,
he verify believed, when, having put
through his bond deal, the securities
went down the next day and he scored
quite loss. However, he was glad he
had escaped possible two weeks exile
from his beloved .money-making.
Bad luck pursued him during the
week. Two deals he made engulfed
half of his capital. He was not in the
best of humor when one day Moreland,
attired in decent suit, but well filled
up with liquor, sailed into his office.
"WellSI served on the jury like a
little !" he Wanted. 'Came after
the balance of the two hundred"
Walton paid the money silently. He
regretted now, the way affairs had
turned out, that he had juggled with
the law. placed load on his conscience
and tempered with a schemer of the
sss.iber of Moreland.

the voyage practically terminates at
the latter place.
