Prohibition as a War
Measure Does Not Seem
to Impress Congress


Prohibition of the manufacture OF
alcoholic LIQUORS has lost the first round
in congress.
Senator Cummins introduced an
amendment to the espionage bill in the
upper house. barring the use of cereals
sugars and syrups in the manufacture
of Intoxicating beverages.
The espionage bill passed, but With
OUT the Cummins amendment.
However. pause.
Do not think for one moment that our
congress is senseless Of the crying neeo
in the nation of the prohibition OF the
manufacture of booze.
Do not think that for one moment
that our congress does not realize that
a nation can fight better sober than
drunk.
Do not for one moment think that our
congress does not appreciate the con-
servation feature of a law banning the
operations of brewsries and distilleres
at this time.
Congress knows all about these things
because congress has heard from the
nation and congress knows what the
people demand in this direction.
Congress is very appreciative Of all
these things, but congress isn't going TO
be in any hurry about taking action.
Congress seems to think that the fight
for democracy was won and that the
war was all over but the shouting the
moment it declared war.
It is giving US a delightful exhibition
now of trying to save its friends.
The abb in the upper house for elm
mating the Cummins amendment IS that
the matter is one of food strictly, and
should be taken up under the head OF
food.
In the meantime, therefore, the coun-
try will go on eating its whisky and
chewing its beer.
The situation would be funny were 1t
not for the fact that our government Is
playing into the hands of Germany by
it's representation in the matter Of
meeting its greatest enemy and direst
peril here at home.
Every day that the manufacture and
sale of booze continues. the country viii
be countenancing the killing Of its men
before they get as far as the training
camps.
It is fimsy excuse to hand the people
that the consideration of prohibition in
connection with the war is not timely
that even matter of food can wait for
later consideration.
The idea of Senator Cummins in at
taching his measure to the espionage
bill was, of course. to hurry it into law,
because he deemed it an urgent matter.
We wonder how many of the senator's
who voted against it were faithfully and
periodically representing their constitu-
encies

BUSINESS WOMEN
IN The HOME
A Preachment For Those Who
Are Willing to Assume the
Double Burden Of housekeeping
In Addition to Daily Work In
tn, Office.
- MUST be at my desk downtown
from $50 to 5:30Ehow shall I
plan SO that l can manage my

from $50 to 5:30-how shall I
plan so hat l can manage my
home and attend to the cooking
and cleaning?" is a modern query.
Before you do anything else get the
right attitude of mind and decide to
be happy in the fact that your house.
keeping cannot be exactly like the
conventional housekeeping of the wo-
man with nothing else to do. Next,
take some time to find out honest, re-
liable tradesmen who can be depended
upon to fill your orders exactly and de-
liver them when you wish and who
will give you a squarer deal than Ii
you had more time to examine each
purchase yourself.
Next, No. 2, sit down with pencil
and paper and write out > purchasing
sheet and the meals fir one week at
least. Buy all possible staples In
wholesale quantities for an emergency
supply.
Next, No. 8, buy at least a two hole
fireless cooker and learn to master this
modern Aladdin's lamp. In it put thy
trust and also thy round steak, and In
the evening 1t will not disappoint thee.
There is no n other piece Of equip
ment which will so soothe your nerves
and lessen your fuel bills.
Next, No. 4, standardize the routine
of your homework, large and small.
Decide on the minimum of what must
be done each day, the best order in
which to do it and how much time 1t
takes. Some people may laugh at eff
cheney all they want, but the woman
who is both a wage Garner and a
housekeeper will find that steps saved
and moments snatched mean greater
rest and less worry.
Next, No. s.. arrange the kitchen or
kitchenette and supplies not as your
homemaking friend does, but after the
Pullman buffet plan, with every arti-
Gle within reach, with a stool to sit
down on, and groupings of supplies,
dishes and tools which permit a meal
to be served most easily. Acquire the
tray habit and learn to serve an en-
tire meal attractiyely on a tray, to
avoid time spent in setting and clear
ing away the table.
Next, No. 6, If it pays you to be
in business at all, you surely are paid
well enough to afford some money for
help by the hour or by the day. For
instance, many a girl Of fifteen would
be glad to earn % cents an hour Sat.

thorough cleaning and busting. Bet
ter by far to do this than to get home

Next, No. Z, and finally, remember
that you are serving three masters

self. You cannot put equal energy
into all three. You yourself must

LAST YEARS FOREST FIRES
IN HENDERSON COUNTY.

Chapel Hill (SpeciaD-Reports on
of Henderson County for 1876 have re-
Gently been received and compiled by
the State Forester.
Twenty correspondents replied from
eight townships, who reported "a fires
which burned over 1920 acres. It is
estimated that 865, 1000 feet of mer-
charitable timber were destroyed, val
ued at $3,525; that 2,S75 acres of young
growth were burned V valued at
$3.50. Other products and improve
ments destroyed by these fires such as
cordwOod lumber, fences. barnes, ETC.,
amounted to $3O,40O. The total esti-
mated loss from these fires was $42,-
900. 1t was reported that about $525
was spent in an effort to eXtinguish
these fires.
A study of the causes of these fires
shows that II were caused by burning
brush, 2 we're set by hunters, 8 by rail-
roads, 6 from lumber camps, 1 incen-
diary, II unknown, and 1 not specified.
The people of Henderson County
cannot be Indifferent to such losses,
especially when those best Informed
upon the matter claim that most of
these fires could have been prevented
by proper measures.
When it is realized that one of the
States chief assets in her forests and
that many of her principal industries
are dependent upon the products of
these forests. the jeopardizing not
only of our present timber supply but
also of our future supplies becomes a
very serious matter. The establish
ment of an effective system of forest
fire patrol by the State would do much
toward eliminating the waste, and, in
view of the fact that fiRes do not re-
cognize county or township lines, such
a system should be under State super
vision. 1t is hoped that the people of
Henderson County will become arOus-
ed to this situation and see to it that
their representative in the mex legis-
lature is alive to the importance of
this question.
