The moment has come for every
one who wants to free this land from
the ravages Of strong drink to get
behind the splendid united movement
Of temperance forces whose present
objective is speedy action by the ma
tional House of Representatives.
Teh logic Of the situation is all in
favor of the amendment.
Are we thinking of food conserva-
ton? Then the grain used daily in
producing liquors would better be
employed in making, as it would, sew
en- million loaves Of bread.
Are we thinking Of conservation of
fuel? Then the pound of coal re-
quired for making q pint Of beer and
transportating it to its destination
would better be used for keeping men,
women and children warm during
wintry days.
Are we thinking of the morals of the
hundreds Of thousands of young men
in camps and environments ? Then
why raise $50,000,00O for the Y. M.
c. A. and millions more for other
preventive work while at the same
time licensing of saloons to be daily
and nightly neutralizing the good re-
suits Of such admirable provision for
the entertainment and welfare of our
boys in khaki and blue?
Are we thinking of the influence
this country may have in the world
as the backward nations in the COM
ing days will look to this country for
moral example and leadership? Then
why export from the single port of
Boston, as was done in one year since
the European War began, 1871 1853
gallons of rum consigned to the west
coast of Africa and carried on the
same ships that took missionaries and
Bibles?
This is the critical hour for action.
The step contemplated is on more
than measures which the Government
is putting into operation in the in
terests of victory over our foes. The
moral sense of the great majority of
the American people will approve
such law. Whatever new problems
its passage creates, they can be met
and solved as other new situations
are being met.

VIII Abolish SaIoons

The city of Los Angeles at an mi
tiative election last week decided to
abolish saloons after April /. 1918.
The ordinance, which provides for the
abolition of saloons, permits the sale,
in original packages and in quanti-
ties, Of wines and liquors the al
coholie content of which does not ex-
coed IA per cent, and allows cafes
and restaurants to serve such wines
and liquors until nine D. m. but not
later. Practically complete returns
gave vote of 53,543 for the ordin-
ance and 33,948 against it. Two al
tentative ordinances containing pro-
visions more favorable to liquor
and retailers were over
defeated.

Liberty Candies.-Must candy be
omitted from the Christmas box for
the boy at camp and the girl at school
or from the little ones stockings?
Before answering, let's face few
business facts. Our allies, France
and Italy are now dependent on the
American sugar bin and the bottom of
the bin is in sight. According to an
authoritative bulletin, "the present
period is one in which stocks are
nearly depleted in the United States
and the countries on which it draws"
Do these business facts mean no
Christmas candy? Not if you are
clever in combining fruits and nuts.
Such sweets keep fresh a long time
and are Just the kind for Christmas
boxes. They are delicious for des-
serts, are wholesome and universally
liked. One cup of white sugar is
enough for five pounds of these Lib
erty candies.
Popcorn Candy.-For making pop
corn candy either honey, maple syrup,
molasses, white cane syrup or corn
syrup may be used instead of sugar.
To one cup of syrup allow one table
spoonful of vinegar. Boil together
until syrup hardens when dropped in
cold water. Pour over freshly pop
ped corn and mold into balls or fancy
shapes for the Christmas tree. Little
popcorn men will please the. children.

Crystalized Fruits.-Use your own
preserves. Peach, pear, apple ounce
or watermelon rind will do. Drain
from the fruit all syrup possible. Cut
any size desired, sprinkle with sugar,
and dry in the warmer or very slow
oven. It may be necessary to sprin-
kle the fruit again with sugar during
the drying. When dry enough not to
be at all sticky, sprinkle with sugar
and pack in layers with wax paper be-
tween. This fruit may be used for
dipping in bitter chocolate for bitter
sweets.

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Girls! Try This! Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy, Fluffy, Beautiful-No
More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation OF Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but
really new growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an incompatible luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get % cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any--that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that's
all-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it if you will just try lit
tie Danderine. Adv.

VVhy rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather !

is that people do not drink as much
water in cold weather as In summer,
which helps to flush the kidneys. Again,
they eat more meat in cold weather, and
some people are so susceptible that they
soon develop rheumatism after eating
meat.
At all such times persons should drink
copiously of hot water, say, pint
morning and night, and take Anuric
three or four times a day. This An
uric comes in tablet form and can be
had at almost any drug store. 1t dis
solves the uric acid in the system
and carries it outward. l would advise
everyone to take Anuric occasionally,
and continue for three or four weeks,
and in that way avoid rheumatism, govt
and many of the painful disorders due
to uric acid. ADV.

A close connection exists between
these two cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or Its
salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance of their
water as soon as it gets cold there Is
often copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up 60 an
accumulation OF uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
govt, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw of the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, as in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable TO take care
of the double burden. Another reason

THEATER PARTY GIVES JOY
Not Always to the Participants, but &c
Those Who Can Smile at Others
Fooiishness.

A theater party is group composed
Of two types of people-those who
have seen the play an absurd number
of times and those who would give
anything not to see it.
The performance selected is usually
a musical comedy. This has come to
mean nowadays an entertainment hav-
ing no music and which is not comic.
The chief characteristics of a the
alter party are two suffering chap
erons, one of either sex; a number
of young ladies who constantly inter
rupt the dialogue of the play and an
equal number Of young men, some of
whom read the programs, yawn or
sleep, while others flirt with the cho-
rus.
When attending a musical show it
is modish to keep time with the or
chestra by tapping smartly the back
of the seat in front of you. Frequent
ly many of the party have seen the
performance before and know the
music fairly well. 1t is de rigueur In
this case to join in the choruses of
the various songs and effectually
drown the voices of the actors.-Life.
