LIQUOR BILLS ARE
GIVEN COM MITTEE
FOR ITS ATTENTION
THREE NEW BILLS EXPECTING
TRAFFIC IN--B0OZE WERE
RECEIVED MONDAY

Three new bills outlining a plan
for wholly suppressing the liquor
traffic, outside of those forms allowed
by the constitutional amendment,
were introduced into the house of
representatives at Lansing last week.
Representative Wiley introduced a
bill providing for those changes ex-
pressly commanded in the dry amend
ment adopted last fall.
Representative Macarthur introduc-
ed bill intended to supplement and
strengthen the Reed amendment to
the Postal appropriation Bill, which
forbids the transportation of liquors
into dry states.
Representative Lewis, chairman of
the house committee on liquor traffic,
offered a measure creating the office
Of food and drug commissioner, who
shall take over the duties of the pres
ent dairy and food commissioner, and
inaddition have direct charge of the
enforcement of the new liquor laws.
This will give the state complete con-
troll, placing the responsibility for the
enforcement of the law upon the gov
ernor through his appointee.
In the senate a brief but compre-
hensive bill supplementing the Reed
amendment was introduced by Sena-
tor Damon. 1t prohibits the bring
ing, carrying, or transportation into
or possession with in this state of any
Intoxicating liquors." except for the
purposes specified in he constitutional
amendment.
The three new bills in the house
were Immediately referred to the
committee on liquor traffic, which has
had several bills under consideration.
1t is understood that all former bills
have gone into the discard, and the
measures introduced last week will
form the basis of action by the COM
mittee, and later by the house.

Washing the Dishes

"The careful housekeeper will al
ways resent the suggestion that once
a day is often enough to wash
Dishes" writes DR.. II. Barnard in
liable Talks" in the National Food
Magazine. "She cannot train herself
to allow soiled plates and silverware
to stack up from one meal to the
next, for she has been taught that
such actions are evidence of shiftless
slovenly housekeeping. AS a matter
Of fact, along with many other no
tions which are fixed in the operation
of the home, both time and energy
are saved by cutting out two of the
three daily dishwashings jobs"
DR.. Barnard goes on to recite the
experience Of one housekeeper who
actually dared study the homely work
of dishwashing. One week she wash
ed dishes three times a day; the next
week she washed each days dishes
altogether. She used the same num-
Der of dishes each day in both weeks.
She found that it took her fifty-one
minutes a day to wash dishes after
each meal and forty-one minutes a
day to wash them once a day.
This took account only of time, but
there was considerable additional
saving of gas or fuel consumed by
heating water once instead of thrice a
day, to say nothing of the saving in
soap.

War Preventiyes


This is the opportune time to be-
gin to think, talk and write about war
preventives. Realizing the horrors of
war we are able to discover honorable
WAYS out of it as to no other time.
The need and glory of peace Yields a
constraining influence. And there are
commendable and praiseworthy pre-
ventives to be found. There is a
strategy that makes for peace as well
as a strategy in war. And If the
mind of craftsmanship was as well oc-
cupied in discerning how to maintain
or obtain peace as it is in overlooking
or condoning the causes of war the era
of international peace would not be
far removed But what are few Of
the war preventives within reach OF
all the nations-preventive that Will
greatly reduce the probabilities of war
making it almost next to impossible.
First.-Let no war be entered upon
with out the consent of the governed.
And the governed should mean in this
instance as in all instances relative
to governmental life, men and wom-
en-; the rich the poor; the learned and
the unlearned. Second-A CONNER
cial boycott upon all the belligerents
bv the neutrals should not only be
threatened but vigorously maintained.
Such a regime will no doubt entail
financial loss, but that loss should
rather be credited to the price OF
peace and called gain. Third-All
the munitions Of war should be made
and owned by the government, forever
cancelling the profits Of war to special
interests. This will serve as pre-
vention of hostilities by subjugation
Of commercialism. Fourth-In no
case should neutrality be interpreted
as a permission to sell munitions to
one or both Of all the belligerents.
There are other preventives, the most
CONSPICUOUS though much talked about
is but little used, namely, arbitration:
1t is evident that there are enough OF
these preventives. Cool heads and
warm hearts will surely use them to
win success.
