WEEKLY CREST OF EVENTS
That HoUe Been Noted by The News' Staff for the Edifcdtion or Its Readers. Really Worth Perusdl.

Council Holds Interesting Meeting
 Last Tuesday evening the Holbrook town council held an adjourned regular meet ing in the superior court room. This meeting was an adjourned session of the regular monthly meeting, at which no quorum was pres ent. Mayor Hennessey and Councilmen Chamberlin, Flanigan and Cooley were present, Councilman Divel- boss being absent. There were also present at the meeting a number of other citizens who had been invit- ed by the mayor to attend, and to offer any suggestions they might wish to make as to the conduct of the towns affairs.
 After some routine busi- ness had been transacted, including the allowing of a demand for engineering work by c. E. Perkins, and the passage of a resolution fixing the grade for a side walk to be laid by the Hol- brook Drug Go. on the east side of the drug store block, Mayor Hennessey called on various citizens present for any remarks they might wish to make. A number responded, among whom were Judge D. J. Thomas, w. R. Scorse, w. B. Woods and others.
 Judge Thomas seemed to voice the sentiment of all those present, including the members of the council, when he stated that he fa- vored incorporation and an economical administration of town affairs. The only change in the existing or ganic laws of the town he suggested was the repeal of the ordinance providing for the levying of a tax on busi- ness houses. It is Judge Thomas idea that the bene- fits accruing to a town from Incorporation are enjoyed by all citizens alike and the cost of maintaining the incorpor- ation should be borne by all alike.
 The suggestion made by Judge Thomas as to the re- peal of the business license tax ordinance is we believe in accordancewit the views. of the individual members of the council. We under stand that this tax was pro Eided for by the former council in order to raise money for an emergency, and it was the idea of the members of that council that the tax would be repealed as soon as revenue from the regular channels of taxation is available.
 Mayor Hennessey announ- ced that the county assessor would have the tax roll for the town completed in about 10 days. The council will then be convened for the purpose of making the tax levy and equalizing the taxes.

CALOMEL SALIVATES AND
MAKES YOU SICK
Acts like dynamite ON slussish
liver and you lose 4
days work.

There's no reason why a person
should take sickening, salivating cal
omel when so cents buys q large
bottle Of Dodson's Liver Tone-a
perfect substitute for calomel.
It is . pleasant, vegetable liquid
which will start your liver just as
surely - calomel, but it doesn't
make you sick and cannot salivate.
Children and grown folks can take
Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is
perfectly harmless.
Calomel il = dangerous drug. It is
mercury and attacks your bones.
Take . dose Of nasty calomel today
and you will feel weak, sick and nau-
seated tomorrow. Don't lose days
work. Take = spoonful Of Dodson's
Liver Tone instead and you will
wake up feeling great. No more bill
business, constipation, sluggishness,
headache, coated tongue or sour
stomach. Your druggist says if you
don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts
better than horrible calomel your
money i waiting for You.

miss Judson has just returned
from two months service in British
munition factories and at the Anstie
Grange and Hill v. A. D. hospitals
in Farnham, Surrey.)
To drink or not to drink? This is
one of the biggest questions Of war
time. 1t has ben asked and at leas.
partially answered by every one of
the nations at war in Europe, and
now it is up for discussion in Amer
lea.
No nation, however, has decided
on absolute prohibition so far. The
manufacture and sale Of vodka in
Germany, where beer is ranked high
in food value, is portioned out t.
the inhabitants in the same manner
as other foods.
: There are two reasons for the ab-
clifton Of vodka in Russia and for
the defense Of the realm act in
Great Britain. In Russia vodka was
recognized as a menace to the eff
cheney Of both the men fighting. at
the front and those working at home
and, being a grain product, it cut in
to the supply of grain to be used as
food. In the same way in England
til. -umption Of liqu,. was -egu
later for the double reason of econ
onmy and efficiency.
The defense Of the realm act pro-
vides for the sale Of intoxicants only
between the hours Of 1890 and 2 p.
m. and between $50 and 8 p. m.--
that is, at luncheon and dinner time.
In couHtry where everyone drinks
with meals this concession was con-
sidered necessary. It enables the
laboring people to have their ale and
porter and the others to have wine
or whisky and soda. There is grow
ing feeling in England that even this
should be abolished and that total
prohibition during the war is the
right thing.
In the early months Of the war
in England there was a great deal
of drunkenness not only among
men, but, among women. Especially
was this true among the very poor
women in the East End of London.
Many Of these women whose hus-
bands enlisted in the army were in

possession Of the first regular income
they ever enjoyed in thir lives, pro-
vided by the government allowance
to soldiers wives and families, md
they proceeded to spend it in the
public houses. A law was passed pro-
hibiting women with babies in arms
from buying drinks in the public
houses, and this resulted in giving
many an old grandmother a liveli-
hood. These old women stood outside
the pubs holding women's babies for
a few pence, while the mothers
themselves, relieved of their charges
went inside to drink. This was only
one of the ugly details that led to the
passage of the defense of the realm
act.
Even this did not entirely abolish
drunkenness. It was claimed that
men who never drank to excess now
drank great quantities during the
luncheon and dinner hour because
they couldn't get it at other hours.
To make this condition less exagger-
ated treating was made a crime, and
men could only buy for themselves.
Even this measure is often cleverly
sidestepped by various ruses, espec-
tally in clubs, though treating has
to great extent been actually abol.
ished.
AS the war goes on, however, and
the need for conserving every re-
sourse, increases, the: sentiment in
favor of prohibition grows. not
alone among people who are them
selves drinkers and who would under
ordinary circumstances consider a
prohibition law as an infringement
of their God given rights.
f.. The need for prohibition in war
time is perhaps greater in America
than in other countries. It is we who
are expected to supply not only our
selves, but the other warning ma
ton with food, and a very large part
OF our grain products yearly goes in
to the making of whisky and beer.
In times of unusual mental ex-
element people who drink more.
and people who are unaccustomedi
to drinking drink in honor Of the
circumstances. As America
awakens to the reality of war we
will have the same experiences of
that were manifested
in Great Britain. It is not probable
that we will have the same expert
ence with our women. It is not the
poorer classes among women who
drink in the United States, but those |
whose position is such that thew
might be expected to set an example
IN self control and abstemiousness.
AS an alternate for absolute pro-
hlbition it has been suggested that
the brewing and distilling industries
pay q large part Of the expense of
me war in special taxes. These thew
ire willing to assume.
The question now under discus-
non is good or bad thing in time
u peace, but whether luxury
Which can only be supported at the
expense Of necessities should not be
abolished during our time of stress
