Resolution to Submit to States
Prohibition Amendment Is
Adopted.
SENATE MUST ACT NEXT
Amendment by Rep. Lea Providing
That Light Wines and Beers Be
Excepted Is Rejected BY
Large Majority.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-The resolution
to submit to the states a national pro-
hibition amendment TO the federal con-
stitution was adopted by the house.
With vote of two-thirds required
for its approval the vote of the house
announced by Speaker Clark was 282
to 128, or 70 more than required.
A wild demonstration took place in
the house. w. ]. Bryan appeared on
the floor and took seat with Repre-
sentative Webb as corecipient Of con-
gratulations.
An amendment by Representative
Lea Of California, providing that pro-
hibition provisions should not apply to
light wines and beer was rejected by a
rising vote of 232 to lot.
What Dry Amendment Provides.
The resolution for dry amendment
to the federal constitution adopted by
the lower house Of congress provides
that the amendment must be ratified
by the necessary number of states
within seven years. The senate already
has adopted similar resolution, but
specifies that 1t must be ratified within
six years. Only an agreement as to
the number Of years now is necessary
to put the question before the states,
36 states must ratify the amendment.
Twenty-seven states already are dry.
A motion to concur in the change
will be made In the senate today but
II one member objects action will have
to go over until after the holidays.
Representative Gard OF Ohio, leading
the opposition, declared the amendment
proposed an invasion of the police
power Of the states and threatened
the unanimiity Of the American people
in winning the war.
The debate began, amid a round of
applause from the Democratic side, by
Chairman Webb Of the judiciary COM
mittee.
The great body OF Americans he con-
tended want to leave the whole matter
just as it is now.
No Union Label on Whisky.
Representative Cooper Of Ohio, for
the amendment, told the house:
"You look into hat band or a coat
to see If 1t bears a union label, but
you can look In vain into the whisky
bottle for a union label"
representative Dyer of Missouri, OPP
posing it, declared the issue nothing
more or less than whether congress
shall stand by "Dinwiddie and the An
ti-Saloon league who think more of this
issue Of the wet and the dry than they
do of the issue OF whether America
or Germany shall win this great war"

SAFETY FIRST!
To Die or Not to Die That
is the Question.

MURDER is committed in
more ways than one. Suicide is
a common method.
To neglect a sore throat in
this season of the year has prov
ed in several eases to be suicidal.
With diphtheria lurking in the
ofing, swollen tonsils or irri-
tated membranes are dangerous
and should receive the early di-
agnosis of q licensed physician.
Diphtheria does not always
show in the membranes of the
throat. Other symptoms, IN
known to the laymen but imme-
diately recognizable by a doctor,
indicate the presence of the dis
ease in subtle and virulent
form. That is the reason that
everyone with a sore throat or a
sickness that he does not under
stand should consult a physician
at once or call at the office of
DIR. Herbert L. Wright, city
health commissioner, and have
culture of his throat made. it
will cost him nothing and it may
save his life.
Do not rely too much on the
curative power of anti-toxin. In
most cases Of diphtheria it will
prove effective, but if the system
has once developed certain
amount of diphtheria poison
twenty-thousand units Of anti
toxin will not prevent death.
A DOCTOR in time saves nine
consulting physicians and, may
be, a bill to the undertaken.
If you must die, die for your
country and not from diphtheria.
