MOdesty OF Booze
1t is interesting to note how pleas
ed the saloon men always are when
ever they can get some judge or
clergyman or other supposed pillar of
society to stand up and tell them that
they are engaged in a reputable bust
ness. The honorable or reverend
remarks are cheered to the last dregs
and echoes are spread at length in
the columns of the booze-ad papers.
This longing for reputable endorse
ment would be really funny if it were
not so pathetic. But why do not the
bold sons of alcohol live up to their
proclamations John Barleycorn has
been with the human race since
Noah's time but his standing is low
er today among civilized peoples than
it ever has been. The reason is
plain: Facts get known after awhile,
and intelligent folks think about 'em.
Booze has to lay low, for it is twi-
light trade and getting darker.-Col-
lier's.

Several thousand women of Edin-
burgh, Scotland recently paraded the
streets, carrying banners inscribed,
Follow the King" meaning the ex-
ample of total abstinence set by King
George. The women appealed to the
government to enforce prohibition
during the war and secured to their
petition 10000 signatures. There is
little doubt if prohibition were to be
enforced for even a few months the
results would be such as to convince
the people of its economic and social
value, and there would be no return
to present conditions.

Nick SaIvati With the Italian Forces Writes o p,ron+s
in Monongah About Wonderful Work That is ~
Done Right Under Fire.

Although he does not know that
there is Red Cross membership
campaign on in America, Nick Salvati,
a Marion county boy who Is fighting
in Italy, has written to his mother.
Mrs. Elizabeth Salvati, of Monongah,
telling OF the work the Red Cross is
doing on the battle front. The letter
was dated just six days before the
Austro-German drive on Italy, which
was begun on October "a.
Salvati, at the time the letter was
written, was actively engaged in Red
Cross work somewhere along the Ital-
ian front. Salvati, a graduate of the
Fairmont Business college, and well
known in Fairmont, went to Italy
only few weeks before the outbreak
of the present war.
His letter to his mother reads as
follows:
War Zone, Italy, Oct. 10, 1917.
Dear Manufactured your letter
and was glad to hear from you, and
know that you are all in good health.
This leaves me well at the presnt.
You know we have fire Red Cross
organization in Italy and they do fine
work.
These men and women of the Red
Cross, you don't hear much about
them, but they do heroic work up in
the first lines Of defense, where the
fighting is the fiercest. and where the
wounded and dead are the thickest,
doctoring, mending, giving hot drinks

dying by day and by night; and more

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Nov. 13.-American SOL
diers are rapidly becoming experts at
patrol work and their officers say
they carry on in mo Mans Land" as
IL they had been at it for years. This
is explained partly by the fact that ac-
tivity in mo Mans Land" along the
sector held by the Americans Is virtu-
ally open warfare, which is distinctly
an American game.
Already stories of the heroism of
individual soldiers during trench
raids are coming to light. A recent
incident invoied flve privates who
rushed from their dugouts as the Ger
mans entered the trenches. Standing,
kneeline and lying in front of the en-
trance they fred on the enemy SO sue
cessfully that they prevented the Ger
mans, who made several attempts,
from entering.
The lieutenant, who was knocked
down 'three:.ime by shell fire during
the recent German raid on the Amer

periences to the American Press. His
face is covered with scratches from
