No PROHIBITION
IN sunny SPAIN
Senior Duran Says the Dry
Movement Is Peculiar Kind
of Revolution

The eyes of Senior Alberto Duran,
wine salesman, opened wide in amaze
ment Monday night when he learned
New Orleans vas CLOSED tight" on
Sundays and there was such a thing
as a prohibition movement in the
United States. He is registered at the
st. Charles Hotel, en- route to Latin
American countries. He is not selling
wines TO local jObbers, the California
wine business proving too much a
competitor for Spanish wines.
A Times-Picayune reporter talked to
Senior Duran, in his room at the ST.
Charles Hotel, speaking through Mar
tin J.. Elkan, the st. Charles foreign
agent and interpreter. "A prohibition
the tNited States, is an utterly IN
heard of thing in Spain; | never heard
of such an idea until / was in Porto
Rico recently. and there | thought il
was some peculiar kind of revolution
said he. Il never expected to find
such a thing in a free country like this
one. But, CT course, we do not get
drunk in Spain. Three or four glasses
of wine makes one feel good, but it is
a disgrace TO become intoxicated-it's
foolish.
Only the aristocrats in Spain drink
whisky. the other classes drinking
wine, which is unusually reasonable in
price. Good red wine sells for six
cents a large bottle, while the best
grades of sherry for two and three
cents more. Sunday is the day of
recreation, when people enjoy them
selves more, and more wine is con
sumed on hat day in Spain than any
other day. It's astounding TO know
New Orleans deprives people of its
liberty on Sundays. | "a not compre-

authority. Meat forms uric acid which
excites the kidneys, they become over

rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish

Electric Sewing Machines Are Fea-

with a coating of aluminium. The re-
frigerator is fastened to outside Win
dow frame by wires, and when the
door is opened this forms a handy
stand when arranging food on shelves.
The refrigerator is provided with
ventilation and can readily be scalded
and cleaned. 1t will do service for
seven months out of the year, which
means a material reduction In the
cost of ice. They sell at from $
to 81.
The housewife Of today Is no longer
dependent upon a maid. With the ad-
vent Of electricity in the home the
various appliances have robbed house
work of its terrors, and this Is now
accomplished with little or no ply
sical strain. The woman who has a
vacuum cleaner. a combination wash
ing machine, a dish washer, an cleo
tric iron and the various time and
labor-saving cooking utensils can
manage nicely without a maid.
The new electric sewing machine
is an, invention appreciated by the
average woman. 1t means she can
carry her sewing machine with her
and make possible a visit without
"wasting time" And then, too, the
sewing is accomplished without IA
tigue. The machine can be used
in the nursery, in the kitchen or
in the den, and in warm weather the
sewing can be done on the porch
in short, the machine can be set in
motion wherever there is an electric
socket. 1t is simply the head Of an
ordinary machine and can be placed
on any table for sewing purposes.
A foot-control regulates the running
speed. When not in use the ma
chine is inclosed in a carrying cover
and can be put out Of the way-under
