BOOMERANG ARGUMENTS.

Replying In public debate to the
liquor Ean's argument for compensa-
ton, DIR. Clarence True Wilson Said:
Suppose we grant that they (the
United States and the liquor seller)
are partners. Suppose two thieves are
In business to rob- One Of them hits
the trail and gives up robbery and
crime. Would you say the other thief
has case for damages for injury to
his business by the conversion Of his
partner?
"When we stopped piracy on the
high seas, did we compensate the
pirate? When we stopped lotteries, did
we compensate those who conducted
them? Have we compensated dealers
In dope whose business was destroyed
by the Harrison act?'
Another point made much of by Doc
tor Wilson's opponent was that the
first year after prohibition went into
effect in West Virginia the governor
of the state had to appeal to the legis-
lature for additional tax measures to
make up for the loss In revenue from
liquor. "And In the second year" Doc
tor Wilson replied, West Virginia
swept her state debt off the map. To-
day she stands among the leading
states of the Union In the amount Of
surplus in her treasury"

USES TURF INSTEAD OF COAL
Is Forced to Fall Back on
Peat as Fuel.

According to n report to the depart
ment of commerce from William T..
Kent, consul Mt Berne, Switzerland,
the eSigencies of war, the lack of de-
-veloped coal deposits, and the inability
to import coal in quantity sufficient to
meet the needs of the population have
induced tn Swiss government, through
q semi-ofli .ial organization, known as
the Societr Cooperative Suisse de la
Tourbe, whose address Is Berne, to re-
sort to the use of turf or peat as a
substitute o. to supplement the INSULT
cient supply Of coal.
The association Is in the market for
the purchas. of improved machinery
for cutting, raising. drying, and com
pressing turf. Turf or peat MS a fuel
Is not a sati sfactory and complete sub
stitute for coal. on account of its low
caloric properties, particularly for
steam gen Grafton, but In those por-
tions OF the United States whero 1t
abounds II may be used to advantage
for domestic consumption by admix-
ture with coal, not only saving the
cost of distant transportation of coal.
but producing sufficient heat at a
much reduced cost.

the oven rack may be put on the bot.
tom and the Jars placed in dripping
pan with little water In 1t, enough
to send up steam all the time they are
cooking. The Jars are filed with fruit
and then hot sirup poured in to near
ly fill them. Place In the oven on the
asbestos sheet, being careful that the
Jars do not touch each other or the
sides Of the oven where the heat is
greatest. When the sirup boils up
and ilows over the tops Of the fruit,
remove the Jars, fiji with boiling sirup,
put on sterile rubbers and new tons
and seal. For small fruits 10 to IS
minutes In hot oven Is sufficient time
to cook well, but with firm, larger
fruits. like peaches, pears and plums,
a longer time, will be needed. 1t h
wise to take out piece of fruit and
try 1t with spoon to see II 1t is well
cooked before filling and sealing the
cans.
The advantage of this method is
that the fruit may be put into the
sterile Jars the night before and while
breakfast is preparing the cooking can
go on, the cans filled and all out of
the way before the work of the day
begins.
Another method very popular among
campers where the wild fruit is picked
and put up In the woods with few
things to work with, is the following:
Put the fresh fruit into sterile lars
with good tops and new rubbers, fill
Ing the Jars to overfiowing with hot
sirup of any richness desired, seal and
place In a boiler. pour In boiling wa
ter to cover the jars to a depth OF two
inches. Put on the boiler cover and
pack rugs, carpets or anything to
keep the heat, leave "a hours, take out
the cans, screwing them to be sure
they nre perfectly air tight. wrap Jars
or put In dark. cool place.

ALCOHOL GETS MEDICAL TABOO

ALCOHOL GETS MEDICAL TABOO.
At the annual meeting Of the house
Of delegates of the American Medical
association, held in New York in June,
resolution was adopted condemning
the use of alcohol. Such resolution
was presented by DR.. Frank Billings
of Chicago, chairman of the associa-
tlon's council of health and public in
struction, and after discussion was
passed as follows:
whereas, We believe that the use
of alcohol Is detrimental to the human
economy, and whereas its use In ther-
apeutics as tonic or stimulant or for
food has no scientific value, therefore
"Be 1t resolved, That the American
Medical association is opposed to the
use of alcohol as beverage; and
"Be it further resolved, That the use
Of alcohol as a therapeutic agent
should be further discouraged"
The American Medical association
has membership Of $1,000 physicians
and surgeons.
