TEMPERANCE LAW Is GREATEST
(. SINGLE STEP TOWARDS PRO.
HIBITION EVER TAKEN

Twenty-three states are bone dry
through the effect Of the Reed amend
ment prohibiting shipment of liquor
into any territory where its manufac-
ture or sale is prohibited. Eleven 9TH
er states are practically affected by the
Legislation, which has been hailed by
temperance advocates as the greatest
single step toward abolition Of the liq-
uor traffic yet taken in the nations
history.
The law bars from prohibition areas,
whether states or smalled corporations
. all mail matter containing advertise
menth or solicitations for orders for
intoxicants approvision designed to aid
in enforcing the anti-shipment feature
by suppressing the activities Of mail
order houses in dry territory.
Justice and postoffice department Of
ficials have made extensive prepare
tons for enforcement of the statute.
United States Marshals and postal
inspectors everywhere have been in
structed to be on the lookout for vio-
lations. There are heavy penalties for
violations.
Methyl alcohol is regarded by the
federal government as an intoxicating
liquor within the meaning of the act,
but methyl wood and denatured alco-
hols are not so regarded. No ruling
has been made regarding the status
Of patent medicines containing alco-
hol and that question may be among
the first to be passed on by the courts
under the legislation.
The language Of the anti-shipment
section is very comprehensive, impos-
sing a fine If $1,000 and Imprisonment
for six months or both, or any person
7 who shall order, purchase or cause
Intoxicating liquors to be transported
In interstate commerce except for sci
entific, sacramental, medical or me-
chanical purposes into any state OF
territory the laws of which state OF
territory prohibit the manufacture OF
sale therein of intoxicating liquors
for beverage purposes"
The same penalties are prescribed
for violators of the anti-advertisine
section. For a second offense in eth.
er case the penalty is made one years

GEORGIA OWNED A SLAVE.
The State Acquired Negro Hero and
100000 L.. r-.-t

The State Acquired Negro Hero and
Treated Him Generously.
The state of Georgia was at one time
the owner Of slave. Whether or not
any other state ever owned a slave or
slaves is not known, but certainly 1t is
highly probable that no other state
ever owned a slave and railroad at
the same time and worked them to-
gether, as was the case with the slave
owned by Georgia
The negro's name was Ransom, later
called Ransom Montgomery by reason
of the fact that before he was acquired
by the state he was owned by a man
named Fl. B. Y. Montgomery. He was
purchased outright by the state through
an act Of the legislature Of 1849 for
having saved the Western and Attain
tic railroad bridge over the Chatta-
hoochee river from destruction by IRE
and later was placed upon q salary
under the supervision Of the principal
engineer Of the Western and Atlantic
railroad.
Subsequently, when the war was
over. Ransom, now free man. was
again remembered by the state. Al
though the state was practically bank
rupt, an act Of the general assembly,
approved Aug. 3, 1868. authorized the
superintendent of the state road to pay
to Ransom from the treasury Of the
road the sum Of $562.50 and also to
provide him with home during the
rest of his life. ATLANTA Constitution.

FOOT RULES IN OUR ARMY.
Advice Which May BE Of Value to the
General Public.

General Puplics
No better advice to the public can be
given In reference to the care of their
feet than is embodied in our Army Man
ual of Military Hygiene, which, of
course, is not In general circulation.
The points particularly emphasized
may be paraphrased as follows:
Wear a shoe wide enough and
straight enough on the inner margin to
give the toes space for their proper po-
sition.
The best treatment of bunions will
be found In removing the pressure over
the affected joint. This can only be
done by supplying a properly fitted
shoe.
To relieve ingrowing nails they should
be cut squarely across and not round
ed. Scrape the nail thin on the top and
insert a pledget Of cotton under the
edge.
For corns use properly fitted shoes.
Remove corns or callouses only when
they are source of pain and irrita-
ton.
Have at least two pairs of well fitted
shoes for constant use and smooth
stockings as free from holes and darn
ings as possible.
After long walk wash the feet, dust
with foot powder and put on clean
stockings and shoes, but do not soak
the feet in cold water.
Foot powder shaken into the socks or
busted over the feet will help prevent
blisters.
Wooden stockings will absorb perspi-
ration. Those who are on their feet
very much should harden them by ap-
plying foot powder and bathing the
feet frequently in cold water.
The correction of fiat foot may re-
quire a long period and can be aided
by furnishing broad and well shaped
shoe, taking care that the foot is
strengthened by proper exercises and
not overloaded.
Do not toe out" but walk with the
inner margins of the feet parallel so
that the weight of the body will be
thrown on the outer or stronger part of
the foot Kathleen Hills In Leslie's.

Welding Glass.

Welded glass suitable for certain op-

Is a novel material that Is stated to be
Of great practical value as well as
much interest. AS the welding proc
ess is described by Parker and Dalla-
day to the Faraday Society OF Lon
don, the glass surfaces to be Joined
are placed In good optical contact
under pressure and are heated to
carefully predetermined temperature,
which, to avoid distortion Of OFFICIALLY
worked surfaces, must not approach
too near what Is defined as the IAN
healing point" This point Of appreci-
able softening Is determined for any
kind Of glass by noting the tempera-
ture at which the internal heat stresses
seen In the glass with polarized light
quite suddenly disappear. Similar
glasses unite perfectly well below this
point, but with very unlike kinds the
softer becomes distorted before the
harder is hot enough to make a good
weld.
