practice that impairs its efficiency
should be Abandoned, to the end
that it may put forth it's best effort
to end the great struggle in which
it is engaged.
However, the article itself shows
a vast difference in arguments ad-
vanced by those who oppose pro-
hibition now and the arguments
used, say no longer than ten years
ago.
Ten years ago the idea Of keep.
ing liquor from the soldiers was de.
nounced unsparingly. In the arti-
Gle from the Review we find such
policy commended, and from it we
quote:
The final outcome was the adop-
tion, as legitimate part OF a War
Measure, Of provision empower
ing the President to make such
rules as he might deem advisable
groverning prohibition in military
camps and declaring further that
mo person, corporation, partner
ship, or association shall sell, sup
ply, or have in his or its procession
any intoxicating liquors at any mil.
itary station, cantonment, camp,
fort, post. officers or enlisted mems
club, which is being used at the
time for militrry purposes under
this act" and that 1t shall be un-
lawful to sell any intoxicating
liquor, including beer, ale, or wine,
to any officer or member Of the
military forces while in uniform,
except as herein provided" OF
the desirability and property Of
this decree there can be no ques-
ton and, to the best so our infor-
nation. none has been attempted.
Such argument would not have
had the sanction Of the forces op-
posing prohibition ten years ago.
Its use now shows the advancement
being made.
The Hindenburg line is being
driven back, slowly it is true, but
back. If the state steps it to limit
and control, the use of nutritious
foods, is ii too much for it to for
bid the diversion Of those foods to
poison and impair the efficiency Of
men sorely needed in their coun-
try's servicep
Ii it could be maintained that
the drink habit was simply a HARM
less, but useful habit, then there
would still be ample warrand to
say by Legislative enactment, "for
the period Of the war, intoxicants
shall be used only for medical use
and every ounce Of alcohol now in
existance shall be conserved for
the manufacture Of munitions and
in manufacture or where needed
for medicine, and none shall be used
for beverage purposes.
We do not see how patriots can
stand in the way Of such Legislation
or delay its enactment.

Vermillion-Little did the repre-
sentatives of the state food depart
ment think that their exhibit Of the
cat and kittens in the cat meal
barrel at the state fair two years
ago would again develope as reality
in South Dakota store. This store
cat, resting contentedly with her
family of kittens in the oat meal
barrel, was intended to represent one
feature of the grocery store of the
past. Strange to say, howevers a
few days ago IN inspector found in a
store in the nothern part Of the state
a cat which had usurped a. twenty
five pound carton Of tea. The in-
spector does not state whether the cat
was addicated to eating tea, but at
any rate she evidently enjoyed the
odor, for she made it her resting and
sleeping place. AS would be expect.
ed, the inspector found in the same
store quantities Of worm eaten dried
fruit and other conditions indicating
the general lack of care which was
evident. The tea and other goods
unfit for. use were consigned to the
dump.

HabyIonian Tablets.

Among the tablets at the University
Of Pennsylvania museum, DR.. Stephen
Langdon has discovered one which is
an excellent map Of the district near
Nippur. It is in effect a cadastral sur
vey of q section about three by four
miles and shows canals, villages and
fields. An interesting feature is that
the field belonging to the king is small
Ter than one belonging to the incanta-
tion priests. There is also field Of
the table," which is supposed to fur
nish food for the ordinary priests Of
the temple. There is a common for
feeding sheep and a field of reeds open
to the public, for the Babylonians de
pended on reeds, which grew to enor-
nous size, as in the far East people
depend on bamboo.
