Webb-Keynon and West Va. Laws
Declared Valid BY SUI
prene Court,

In the most sweeping of all de-
cisions upholding prohibition laws,
the supreme court on Jan. s up
held as constitutional and valid the
Webb-Kenyon law prohibiting ship
ments of liquor from "wet" to dry
states. 1t also sustained West Vir-
ginia's recent amendment to her law
prohibiting importation in interstate
commerce Of liquor for personal use.
After having been vetoed by Presi-
dent Taft, who held it unconstitu-
tional, and having been repassed by
congress over his veto, the law was
sustained by the supreme court by a
vote of to 2. Leaders of the pro-
hibition movement declare it is to
their fight second only in Importance
to the proposed constitutional a.
mendment.
1.-THE all-reaching power of gov
ernment over liquor is settled said
chief justice White in announcing
the decision. There was no inten-
ton of congress to forbid individual
use of liquor. The purpose of thi
act was to cut out by the roots the
practice of permitting violation ot
state liquor laws. We can have nc
doubt that congress has complete
authority to prevent paralyzing ol
state authority. Congress exerted q
power to coordinate the national
with the state authority"
The states may now prohibit the
possession, receipt, sale and use o!
Intoxicating liquors, and not be ham,
pered by the agencies of interstate
commerce.

Bad Habits.

Those who breakfast at eight
o'clock or later, lunch at twelve ano
have dinner at six are almost certain
to be troubled with indigestion
They do not allow time for one meal
to digest before taking another. Not
less than five hours should elapse
between meals. If you are troubled
with indigestion correct your habit
and take Chamberlain Tablets, and
you may reasonably hope for a quick
recovery. These tablets strengthen
the stomach and enable it to perform
it's functions naturally. Obtainable
everywhere.

Farmers Control Legislature.

North Dakota is under new re-
gime politically. The farmers Of
chat State have long realized they
were not getting a square deal from
the lawmakers, and SO they made
plans before the last election to take
charge of the lawmaking themselves
NOT merely to help, as farmers do
in all States, but to run the whole
show at Bismarck this winter Ener-
getic leaders brought the Non-Par-
tisan Political League into being,
with 10000 farmers as members,
and never in the days when the
Grange was political power in the
West did the farmers win more
complete victory.
They elected 18 farmers to the
Senate, out Of 25 members, and 81
out Of 113 members of the House,
not to mention the State officers and
the Judges. They let party lines
cut no figure, though it may be more
than coincidence that in the mlx-up
the State slipped from it's moorings
into the Wilson column. With 80
farmers out of 1873 members of the
Legislature, North Dakota may well
thank its stars that it's interests are
pretty we'll agricultural anyway in
fact, they are so largely agricultural
that one wonders how it has ever
happened that earlier Legislatures
have been in position to deny the
just demands of the farming ele-
ment.:t Mere lawyers will doubtless
feel rather lonesome at Bismarck
for the next two years, even more
Lonesome than they were at Augusta
a few years ago. when the Maine
Legislature did not have enough OF
them to fill the places awaiting them
on the joint COMMITTEES on judiciary
and legal affairs.

The Habit of Taking cola.

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take a cold sponge
bath every morning when you first
get out of bed-not ice COLI, but a
temperature of about 80 degrees F.
Also sleep with your window up. Do
this and you will seldom take cold.
When you do take cold take Cham

Red Barns Are Pennsylvania Dutch

Red Barns Are q Pennsylvania Dutch
Institution.
The great Red barns of Pennsyl-
vania are a Pennsylvania Dutch in
stitution, according to L. w. Lichty,
farm adviser of the Department of
Agriculture. The red barns on many
farms have attracted the attention
of visitors for years, and recently
from Virginia, came an inquiry ask
ing whether the barns are covered
with lime wash colored red or
what preparation Mr.. Lichty says:
THE red barns are Pennsylvania
Dutch institution although we have
no copyright. The Irish and Scotch
Irish whitewash or yellow wash their
barns and they might use spray
pump to do it but the Pennsylvania
Dutchman is as particular about the
painting of his barn as you Virginia
folks are about ornamenting your
drawing room. The red barns are
not washed but painted with the best
linseed oil and the best colored light
rcd by the addition of English red
and mixed with some red lead. You
could much easier find hens teeth
than find a Pennsylvania Dutchman
spray red wash on his fine barn.
ITO spray wash barn the best
thing know to use is the cold water
paint on the market that can be had
through the regular channels of the
trade. Regular lime whitewash may
by the addition of English red and
strained so it will work through q
spray pump. But it cannot be com
pared to the paint on the red barns
of Pennsylvania.

Hindu Serpent charmers.

The power of the Hindu serpent
charmer to detect the presence of the
reptiles in dwelling house and to
'charm" them out of it, is far too COM
mon to be made matter Of skepti-
cism. He is often required to do this
in the full light of day, surrounded
by spectators; and incredulous persons
have searched him beforehand; yet his
success has been complete. He as
sumes an air Of mystery, strikes the
walls with short stick, whistles,
makes chuckling noise with his
tongue, and spits upon the ground, and
generally says: II adjure you by God,
If We be above, or If We be below,
that We come forth. / adjure you by
the most great name; If We be obedi-
ent, come forth; and II We be disobe-
dent, die die! diet" In all proba-
bility these charmers are acquainted
with some mysterious physical means
of discovering the presence of serpents
without seeing them, and Of attracting
them from their hiding places.

WHEN YALE COLLEGE MOVED
Village Of. saybrook, Where Il Was
First Located, Bitterly Fought for
Its Retention.

During our walk we came upon a
bowlder In the middle of a field inlaid
with bronze plate which told us that
there was the original site of Yale col
lege. Saybrook did not see the college
go to New Haven without struggle,
and one of its incidents is piquant to
recall-the famous battle of the col
lege books. In December, 171S, the
trustees, already migrated to New
Haven, desired to remove the college
library, which had been left behind
in Saybrook. But Saybrook refused
to give 1t up, and so stubbornly that
the governor and council had to come
down from Hartford and set the sher-
If and his assistants to work. These,
however, found the house in which the
books were kept barred and guarded
by "resOlute men," and even after the
sheriff had broken in and placed a
guard over the books the book-lovers
of Saybrook did not yet give in. On
the morrow 1t was found that the carts
that were to transport the books had
been disabled, and when others were
procured and a start finally made, 1t
was found that even the bridges along
the road had been destroyed in ad-
vance of them! When before or since

sion for learning Richard LIE Gal

ArIthmetIc once Was Common.

At the time of the colonization OF
America in the first half Of the seven
teenth century arithmetic was not con-
sSdered essential to boys education
unless he was to enter commercial life
or certain trades. The instruction in
arithmetic was often given in another
school, called writing school. or a
reckoning school. When arithmetic
was taught In the grammar school 1t
was very rudimentnry. Not only was
this true. but among the nobility and
the aristocracy Of the educated, arith-
metic was looked upon as common"
"vile," mechanic" because 1t was the
accomplishment Of clerks, artisans,
tradesmen and others who bore no
sign Of heraldry. Consequently 1t was
beneath the dignity Of boy unless he
was 'less capable Of learning and fit-
test to be put to trades"

HOW TO REMEMBER THINGS
Simple Ways by Which the Memory
May Be Trained to Be Great
Asset to Possessor.

In an article about man with q
great memory, in the American Maya
zine, a writer says:
"'Any test which trains your mind
to really see things at quick glance
will help lot returned Horgan.
One Of the best tests I know is to
stand in front of the show window Of
store and glance quickly at all the
articles in the window and then turn
away and see how many you can re-
member. Practice will make anyone
pretty adept at this.
"IoOk at the passengers opposite
you in street car. Then shut your
eyes and try to visualize each one Of
them. Glance at the advertising pla.
cards over their heads. Close your
eyes and see how many you can re-
member. All these things will help
you In remembering a mans features
from quick glance; 1t would be i'm
polite and usually impossible to stand
and stare in a mans face for three or
four minutes.
"Meet all the people you can.
Watch them. Keep lists Of their
names. Sit down at night and check
up the people you have met that day I;
see how clearly you can call up the
image Of each.'"

--LATEST Of Poets.

The LATEST Of British poets and
possibly the LATEST of men, was
James Thomson, who won a place In
English literature by his two works,
"The Seasons and 1.-THE Castle of In
dolence." He is spoken Of as an Eng
lish poet because his work was done
In England, but he was Scotch by
extraction and by place Of birth. He
was born at Ednam, in Roxburgh-
shire, Scotland, in the year 170O-nine
years before the birth of Samuel
Johnson. At the age of twenty-five
he went to London to make his way
In literature. He was tutor, writer
for the press, dramatist and poet, but
he is remembered today by reason Of
the two poems already mentioned. He
died at the age of forty-eight. 1t is
related Of Thomson that he seldom got
out Of bed until noon and often not
then. Most Of "The Seasons" and
nearly all of "The Castle Of Incidence"
were written in bed. Thomson excelled
more in descriptions than In episode
Or reflection.

SILLY WORSHIP OF WEALTH
General Tendency to oioat Over Sight
and Sound of Money Something
Hard to Understand.

The tendency to gloat over the sight
and sound Of money may be less per-
vasive than 1t seems. 1t may be only
temporary predisposition, leaving us
at heart clean, wise, and temperate.
But there is fiorid exuberance in the
handling of this recurrent theme
which nauseateS us little, like very
rich food eaten in a close room, writes
Agnes Reppler in the Atlantic. Why
should we be told that "the world
gapes in wonder" as it contemplates
ian Aladdin romance of steel and
gold?" The world has other things
to cape over in these sorrowful days.
"Once barefoot boy now riding in
100000 private car" There is
headline to catch the public eye, and
make the public tongue hang watering
from its mouth. That car, "early Pull
man and the late. German Lloyd" is to
the American reader what the 1000
black slaves with jars of Jewels upon
their heads were to Dick Swiveler-a
vision Of tasteful opulence. More in
innate journalists tell us that "Finan-
cial Potentate" eats baked potatoes for
his luncheon, and gives his friends
notebooks with moral axiom on each
page. We cannot really care what
this unknown gentleman eats. We
cannot, under any conceivable circum-
stance, covet moral notebook. Yet
such items of information would not
be painstakingly acquired unless they
afforded some mysterious qualification
to their readers.

CUTTING HAIR OF ROYALTY
In Some Countries II Is Performed
With About as Much Ceremony
a. 10 4 Wedding.

In some eastern countries children's
hair is not cut until they are ten OF
twelve years of age, the girls then be
ing considered marriageable. Up to
that time 1t is 'coiled on the top OF
the head and adorned with fresh flow.
ers.
When the day for cutting comes
there is a grand ceremony, accompan-
led by much feasting.
One. who was present at royal
hair-cutting tells us that the favorite
of the harem was robed in long, flow
ing garments Of silk and lace, confined
at the waist by golden girdle. Her
long hair, coiled for the last time, was
fastened with diamond pins, which
cleaned and glittered among fresh
white flowers and green leaves like
pearly drops Of morning dew.
There, in the presence Of the ladies,
her father and an officiating priest,
surrounded by her maidens, some 200
In number, she knelt under a canopy
Of flowers and leaves while prayers
were chanted.
Then, the beautiful tresses being un-
bound, her royal father, dipping his
fingers in rosewater and drawing them
caressingly over her head, clipped of
about an eighth of an inch of hair and
threw It into a golden basin, deposit-
ing at the same time, on a great salver
placed ready to receive them, presents
of jewels and gold.
The priest cut the NEXT niece her
mother the next, and SO on, each guest
serving in turn until the little lady was
shorn.
All gave costly gifts, intended for
her marriage dower-princes, minis
ters Of state and dignitaries Of all
sorts, who waited in the outer courts,
sending in theirs by attendants. The
day ended in feasting and display Of
fireworks.-Rehoboth Sunday Herald.
