1000 DRINK RESORTS
GO OUT OF BUSINESS

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 1.-The number
of places in New York state where
intoxicants may be sold legally was
decreased by more than 1000 today.
The decrease was brought about by
the taking effect of amendments to
the state liquor laws, which provide
that there can be only one intoxicant
dispensary to every 500 inhabitants in
political subdivisions having less than
$500 population.

went out to the woods. They took
a tent and three cots and all the
things they needed. That day they
made a fire and Tom went out to
see If he could catch some fish.
Jack took his rifle so he could kill
some animals, and Fred tended the
fire.

Jack and His Friends

"Get on your mark; get set; go!"
Fred was a little ahead and then
Jack gained on him. They were
even for quite little bit. Fred
gained a head once more and al
most beat, but Jack gained and fin
ally won.
Gee, that was hot work." said
Jack, as they dressed to 60 back to
camp, It was then just 3 o'clock in
the afternoon and Tom said, Il be-
lieve I will 60 to that big walnut
tree we saw this morning." So
they all took their guns and big
sack and went over TO the walnut
tree. They had about q half bag
full of walnuts when they heard
some voices in the bushes near by.
Jack and his friends went over to
the bushes, and what do you think
they saw? They saw John, their
enemy.
81 wonder what he is doing out
here" said Jack. He had two
friends Of his, Joe and Howard with
him.
"Hello, what are you doing out
here" asked Tom, laughing.
"Why Tom how did you come out
here"
1--WE are going back to camp now.
I guess"
II don't care" growled the bully.
what are you SO mad about"
said Jack cheerfully. At this the
bully got madden than ever and hit
Jack in the mouth. Jack couldn't
stand for that and gave the bully q
hit in the eye. The bully lodged
and gave Jack a hit that knocked
him down.
The bully and his friends ran
away, and they couldn't find him.
So Jack and his friends had q good
time that day, and when they went
home they found that the bully had
been arrested for stealing. "Well,
he deserved It," they said. And
that was the last of their enemy.

\ To restore anyone from a severe

tongue to make breathing easy

saved lives in several cases.
Boys and girls who have trouble
with dust blowing In their eyes
when riding in automobiles will be
interested in the remedy suggested
in the Scientific American, of put

This is supposed to catch the dust
and hold it.
The ice on Glen Miller lake is
very interesting to look at. al
though not SO good to skate on. In
many places. especially near the
banks. there are dark circles about
twelve to eighteen inches in dame

river-systems traced in the ice.
These are caused by springs send
