hours. The liquid bisulphid should be
placed in shallow dishes on top of the

less. The fumes from the bisulphid
are heavier than air and gradually fall
to the bottom of the receptacle, per-
meating the whole mass. One pound
of the carbon bisulphid is enough for
a room or bin ten feet in each dimen
sion. After fumigation the ears must
be thoroughly aired, whereupOn the

care should be used with carbon BIZ

mable as those from gasoline.
To prevent the entrance of weevils

THE LEAK" HEARING.

The rules committee of the house
nav halt the leak" hearing; postpone
it indefinitely; "whitewash" every
name and figure mentioned in it-then
close up the shop. But, a majority OF
the American people will not be sat-
isfied with what is going on.
The main harm was done when Law
son opened his mouth. He did more
and more harm each time his mouth
opened-and that was ON numberless
occasions.
Wall street has escaped the com
mittee. The fangs of that congress
ional committee seemed to be sweet
eped against some of the forces.
And, if there is anything in the
world that smells bad to the American
people, it is Wall street Say the word
crooked, and then yell-Wall street,
and the stage is set Wall street takes
your money without a chance in re-
turn. The gangmen Turk only in spots
noted for their presence.
The South has fed Wall street long
enough. There's not woman and
child throughout the whole Southland
who is not familiar with some person
who has played the markets"-and
came out the loser. Still, there is no
gospel, except failure, which teaches
q lesson.
1t is bad enough to have the charges
made involved in the leak" hearing,
hut to let them pass over with a scowl
is worse.
And, still they say it is our govern
ment; run by the people-for the peo-
Pile It's a sham.

Cincinnati Man Tells How to Shrivel

Ouch ?! :? This kind of rough

the simple advice of this Cincinnati

CT a drug called freezone when applied
to a tender, aching corn stops sore

W and lifts right out without pain.
He says freezone is sticy substance
which dries Immediately and never in

ounce, which will cost very little at
any drug store. is said to be sufficient
t. remove every hard or soft corn or

PREPAREDNESS" TO
BRING PROHIBITION
(From Golfers Weekly)

Within a very short time the senate
and house are both going to vote upon
this national prohibition constitution
al amendment) resolution and after
they vote on it, provided they adopt H.
it will go before the various state
legislatures. OF course there will be
a good deal of bowling about forcing
prohibition on New York and other
large cities against the will OF those
cities. But the truth is that gooo
deal more than half of the people OF
the United States have come TO the
settled and thoughtful conclusion that
booze is bad business. and they are
determined to kick it out.
When the friends of booze argue
about local option. sincere persons are
going to say that local option would
work better if the liquor interests
would permit it to work, and would
not use the machinery of the federal
government as they do now, 10 uelea'
the purposes of various states ana
counties which have gone dry. More
over, if prohibition can be adopted
successfully as a nationwide rule by
Russia and France, why not by the
United States?
If Paris and Petrograd can get
along without booze, why not Ne"
York?
And if these countries adopt prohi-
bition under the pressure of neces-
sity to achieve a maximum moral anc
physical efficiency, why shouldn't we
do it as part of the policy of prepared
ness?

THE KNOWLEDGE OF JURORS.

1t is to be generally admitted that
the right of jury duty is the most
sacred privilege under our govern
ment; far surprising the power OF
voting. Still, many people make light
Of it; fail to uphold the principles for
which a trial by peers was conceiv-
ed; and in general the system has
much weakness which time and action
must heal.
The Moultrie Observer only several
days ago, had an editorial on juries
in which it advocated majority or two
thirds vote, instead of unanimous bal
lots among twelve jurors.
A humorous incident concerning q
juror is related in this way by the
Savannah Morning News:
A Chicago juror was disquali-
fed because he could not define
the words hypothesis, compatible.

BILE and presumption. 1t may have

BUYING WAVE SWEEPS
THRU COTTON MARKET
Prices Reach Highest Mark in
History of New Orleans;
December Leads. -

NEW ORLEANS. Nov. 26.-Higher
prices ruled in cotton here today as n
result of a buying wave which ap-
peared on the opening and soon had
the acti1e months trading at the high
est levels ever recorded in this con-
tract market. December sold up to
$3.50 and at the highest levels the
active months were 4 5 to 76 points
over the closing quotations of last
week. Last prices for the day showed
net gains of 80 to GO points.
The advance was stimulated by con-
tinued absence of December tenders
and crop estimate of 0,6SS, 900
bales, not including linters, from an
authority in the middle belt. Back
of the rise also was the increasing de-
mand for cotton goods at higher
prices and the growing belief in II
small crop.
Locally, spots were raised so points
to 20 for middling.
1t was day Of large trading and
the market had a firm undertone at
all times, altho bearish predictions
were that reaction was imminent.
