Nobody's tongue is still Tor moment

tongue is the most incessantly active OF
all the body's members.
We think OF the tongue rs an organ
of speech, but it is also an organ OF
feeling. When one eats it is constantly
feeling about In the mouth and deciding
ont OF its own "mind' What particles
OF food are small enough or too big to
swallow.
Yes, indeed. the tongue has mind OF
it's own--a ganglion or minor brain
that is busy ut mealtimes in regulating
the supply of food to the stomach. But
for its unceasing guardianship we
should suffer much oftener than we do

RECIPES FOR FINE CANDY
How Fondant and Chocolate Creams
Are Put Up by Those Who Are
Considered Experts.

Two cupfuls granulated sugar. one
half cupful cold water, boiled slowly.
Add quarter teaspoOnful of cream tar

When it keeps it's shape in cold wa
ter, wet a dish in cold water "a platter
is best), pour it out carefully and stir
with wooden spoon till stiff and
about to crumble. Then take in your
hands and work and knead it till pill
able and smooth. Pack in n deep
dish and cover with wet cloth. Let
stand several hours (till next day is
better), when it will be velvety and Of
fine texture. Don't try to make it on
a cloudy or stormy day, as clear,
bright atmosphere will give best re-
suits. From this fondant all kinds OF
fine candies can be made.
Chocolate Creams-Form the balls
from the above fondant and let stand
over night, to harden. Cook together
one cupful granulated sugar, one-half
cupful water and tiny pinch Of cream
of tartar till. when a little is dropped
in cold water, it can be gathered on a
spoon, then set on back Of stove and
add two squares Of chocolate that have
been melted. a heaping teaspoonful
each Of butter and vanilla, and set
dish in another of hot water, and dip
the creams. 1t takes but few min

Americas Greatest Foe.

A saloonless nation by 1920 is to-
day more than slogan-it is a ma
tional imperative. The necessities
of war banished vodka from Russia
and absinthe from France. The
immediate requirements of a con.
structive peace demand the removal
of John Barleycorn from the civil
cation of the United States.
Are we concerned to see this re-
public prepared against the possible
aggressions of a foreign foe? Then
we must not forget that ju a very
vital way P-r-o-h-i-b-i-t-i-o-n spells
preparedness. Before the recent
disturbance which called large num-
bers of our young men to the bor-
der, recruiting stations were turning
back 65 per cent of all applicants as
physically unfit, the vast majority
of them as the result of diseases for
which alcohol is directly or indi-
rectly responsible because it breaks
down the will that controls pas
sion.
Safety and efficiency have COM
bined to force prohibition upon an
ever increasing number of indus
tries, great and small. Drink be-
fogged brains are no longer intrust-
ed with complicated machinery.
''Rule G" has driven the casual
drinker as well as the "boozer' out
of the engine cab and away from
the switches. Even the saloon ad-
vertises for bartenders who are to-
tai abstainers. And it is stupen-
dous folly to intrust the priceless
ship of state to less than steady
hands and unclouded minds.
America trembles today with the
impact of world forces from with
out, with the convulsions of social
unrest within. We are at peace,
but it is a momentous peace-a
peace for which we must pay the
price. God is teaching lessons to
the races, lessons that no people
may escape Let US pray that we
shall learn this lesson without
passing under the rod of war. But
learn them we must. And learn
them we cannot until we purge our
selves of this drunkenness.
do not greatly fear an enemy
that may embark from some distant
shore to do us hurt. | do fear this
liquor foe that burrows his insidious
way deep into the very vitals of our
power, that not only smites the llv.
ing but drives his poisons into the
loins of potential fathers and into
wombs of potential mothers to pre-
damn the race with the eugenic taint
Of alcohol. Give America clear
minds, clean bodies, and unspolled
soils, and she will prove sufficient
for her momentouS present even as
she has answered every question
that challenged her glorious past,
