Cant Bring Lionor !.

The U. S. Attorney General has
ruled that liquor not only cannot
legally be shipped into dry state,
but cannot be brought in any quan.

bringing it. According to his rul
ing, the only way a dweller in a
dry state can appease bis thirst for
the stuff is by going for it and
bringing it internally.
Even physicians cannot pres
cribe it, though they may prescribe
alcohol. This, according to the
American Medical Association, rec.
egnized authority on all subjects
pertaining to medicine, is no hard.

ANTHRAX FIGHT.
Strong Effort Being Made to Stamp

DRYING VEGETABLES.
Valuable Information Furnised by
the Government.

the Government.
Many vegetables and fruits,
which often go to waste, can very
easily be conserved for home use
by simple process of drying,
which can be done in the average
home. Dried products require no
outlay for expensive containers
and can be stored almost indefi-
nitely under proper conditions 10
relatively small space. One hum
dred pounds of fresh vegetables
will average ten pounds of the
dried product. Vegetables and
fruits, if properly dried, retain
their natural flavor aud food value.
They can be dried in an oven,in
trays or racks over the kitchen
stove. Equally as great care
should be given TO the selection
and preparation of vegetables for
drying as for canning. To secure
a hne quality of dried products
much depends upon having the
vegetables absolutely fresh, young,
tender and perfectly clean.
Aflerthe vegetables are prepared
properly they are blanched. The
vegetable thus prepared is spread
in a thin layer on the trays of the
drier. The temperature for drying
should be rather low to prevent
scorching. Begin drying at a tenn.
perature of no and gradually in
crease to I45. Complete drying
in to 8 hours. 1t is important
to know the temperature OF the
heat in the drier, therefore an in.
expensive oven thermometer
should be purchased.
Get instructions from Mrs. M.
K. Shelby, county agent, regard
ing construction of drier and par.
ticulars for drying.
The following vegetables and
local fruits may be- preserved by
drying: Green string beans, lima
beans, dry shelled beans. garden
peas, sweet corn, carrots and pars
nips, onions and leek, beets,
pumpkin and summer squash,
okra, cabbage, caulifiower, pep.
pers, vegetable soup mixtures,
berries, plums, apples and pears.

SUFFERERS
Rain Has Not Fallen for Months.
Government May be Asked
to Help Poor.

Until this week rain had no
fallen In the Violet and othei
neighborhoods of the county sine,
April, except In small showers
which did but little good. The
fail this week amounted to bat
little, as 1t came In small quantities
and too late to benefit the crops.
In some of these stricken local
tiles the corn crop is said to be SO
badly burned that two bushels per
acre is an extravagant estimate of
Its yield. Cattle are thin, and
only subsist on the leaves of trees
which their owners are compelled
to cut for them each day.
Owners of large herds of cattle
are distressed over the prospect
for the winter. They have neither
hay nor grain, and the cattle are
too thin to put on the market.
One we'll known citizen, who
has large property holdings In the
northern edge of Jefferson comfy,
informs the writer that he Is con
vinced that the government will
have to issue rations to the poorer
people of that community.
The drouth stricken district
includes the southern part of Clai-
borne, large parts of Lincoln, Jef
ferson and Adams counties.

ship. That association, on June
7th, passed the following resolu.
tions on the subject, which will be
a surprise to those who have con.
tended that liquor is essential in
some cases of sickness:
"Where as we believe that the use
of alcohol is detrimental to the
human economy, and whereas its
use 10 therapeutics as a tonic or
stimulant or for food has no scien-
tific value, therefore
"Be 1t Resolved that the Ameri
can Medical Association IS opposed
to the use of alcohol as a beverage,
and
"Be 1t Further Resolved, thai
the use of alcohol as theapeutic
agent should be further dis
;ouraged."

SELECTIVE
CONSCRIPTION
Drawing Take Place This Week
Say Latest Reports From
Washington.

According. to the reports from
Washington, drawing of the name:
of those subject to military service
will take place this week.
The local board has Its cards
aud everything In readiness for
the draft. The law defines the
duties of the board, and there Is
little or no discretion given; but
even then the work Is unpleasant.
Every one who is drawn Is urged
to inform himself fully as to what
Is a legal exemption; and II he
finds that he has no legal exempt
Ion he should not ask for 1t But
on the other hand If he has legal
exemption and wishes to claim 1t,
he should make himself fully
familiar with how to claim 1t, and
what nature of af6davits, etc., will
have to be presented to the board.
All exemption claims have to be in
certain form and be fully within
the regulations.
The local board has given as.
surance that they will do their
level best to be absolutely fair and
impartial In all their rulings, and
we believe that every man will get
the same treatment at their hands.
The local board has had nothing
to say In regard to what will con.
stitute exemptions etc, as they
have only been in possession of
the Official Regulations for few
days, and they do not wish to ex-
press themselves on any subject
until the time comes for official
expression.
All will be drawn in Washington
by number, and those who are
drawn and have no legal exempt
ION have no right to blame the
local board.

A New Surgical tBandage.

From the experience gained by
operation on many thousand
wounded soldiers In Europe, an
American surgeon has asked for a
new bandage. and at bis request,
the British War Relief Association
has created 1t, and asks for as
many womeni in America as possible
to make these bandsges. They
call 1t the ''arm or leg many tailed
bandage." The use Of the bandage
Is to slip under a shattered arm or
leg. which need only be raised
once to let the bandage under
meath, while the usual method
necessitates lifting the limb many
times, which causes much suffering.
The Worlds and National w.
c. T. U. have taken up this work.

meeting voted to begin at once.

than l2.000 books with reading accom-
plodations for 800 men.
To keep the building comfortable in the
colder weather, there will be two large
stoves and the, building will be lined witt.
roofing felt, covered inside with finished
woodwork. The librarian and assistant
will have sleeping rooms at one end o.
the building, with shower bath and other
facilities for comfort,
With view to using the structure
when the war is ended the building will
be erected on the sectional plan so that
it may be removed easily and sent to
some nearby town which may wish to
start public library. This plan of con-
struction is being followed in all the
camps and is highly practical.
In addition to the attest fiction and
standard works, the library will have a
complete reference library and maya
zines and periodicals for the reading
tables. There will be an abundance of
books on military topics. all the govern
ment publications being on file. Mr.. Bliss
will have the work rushed to completion
as speedily as possible and is hopeful
that by Christmas Day everything will be
in readiness to cater to the literary tastes
