years, we have made it 100 per cent.
Now over $40 parts are made of
toughened steel. Many parts are
vastly oversize. All parts which get

Bone Dry Bill Is Passed By
Lower House

Washington, Feb. 21. .-Abso-
lutte prohibition legislation took
its longest forward stride in the
Nations history today when the
House, after two hours Of up-
roarlouS- debate, approved by a
four to one majority Senate
measure which would raise an
lronclad barrier against importa-
ton of liquor into prohibition
States. 1t is expected to receive
the approval of President Will
son within week, adding i'm
mediateiy to the bone dry" ter
rltory about one.third of conti-
mental United States.
The provision is said to De the
most far-reaChing that could be
enacted by the Federal Govern
ment, and as sweeping as would
be possible until any method
short of a National prohibition
amendment. 1t would cut oft
entirely liquor importations,
amounting now to millions of
dollars annually, into the large
number of States which have
forbidden manufacture or sale,
but have permitted importation
for personal use.
Advocates of prohibition d.
vided themselves over the expe-
dlency of the step. some friends
OF the cause declaring so drastic
a law would have a reactionary
effect. In the same way, those
who have opposed prohibition
were not unanimous in opposi-
ton when the vote was taken.
The roll call brought cheers and
cries of bone dry" from all
parts OF the House, however,

Only Three States In South
Untouched


Untouched
Atlanta, Feb. 21.-Into only
three States in the South-Flori
da, Louisiana and Texas-may'
liquor in any quantity be i'm.
ported legally for personal use
after June 80 next. They alone
have retained local option.
Congress by its action in
adopting the Reed amendment
makes absolute the Statewide
prohibition legislation of Virgin
ia, North Carolina and South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and
Mississippi. Thus they Join the
"bone dry" States-Arkansas and
Tennesee-which already had
enacted statutes forbidding the
importation of liquor.
The Florida legislature at its
biennial session in April is ex.
pected to adopt a resolution pro-
yiding for a referendum on
Statewide prohibition, although
there are only five out of 81
counties in the State where
liquor can be sold legally. Dry
forces in Louisiana are prepar-
ing to fight for a Statewide bill
at the next session of legislature
in 1918. About half OF the
Louisiana parishes are dry under
the local option law.
Virginia became dry only on
November 1, last, as the people
had declared for prohibition by
$4,000 majority on a referendum
in September, 1914. The prohi-
bition law passed by the leg1sla
ture in January, 1916, permitted
every head of a household to re-
ceive shipment of one quart of
whlskey or one gallon of wine
or three gallons of beer month.
Sale and manufacture within the
State were prohibited.
North, Carolina became a pro-
hibition State on January 1, 1909,
after the people had ratified a
Statewide bill by a majority of
$4,000 at a referendum election
in Nav, 1908.
The legislature passed law
IN 1915 permitting any individ-
ual 10 receive one quart of whis-
key or wine or five gallons of
beer every Is days.
South Carolina adopted prohi-
bition by a referendum vote IN
September, 1915, after having
had a dispensary system since
1891. The law permitted each
person to receive a gallon OF
whiskey, beer or wine a month.
Georgia has been clasSed as a
dry State since January 1, 1908,
but the prohibition law was not
strictly enforced in some of the
cities until May l, last, when a
drastic law abolishing locker
clubs became effective. Under
this law each person was limited
10 a monthly shipment of two
quarts of whiskey or one gallon
of wine or 4S pints of beer.

SICoo
Once in history Chester
field county has a congress
man. w. F. Stevenson. of Che
raw won the election last We'd
nesday bv big majority over
Claud N. Sapp of Lancaster.
Chesterfield county piled up the
votes for her candidate so high
there was no chance for Sapp
to go over them. Not only did
he get a majority in his home
county, but he carried every
county in the district except
Lancaster, and there he received
more than half as many as Mr..
Sapp.
Twice Mr.. Stevenson had tried
for the place while Mr.. Finley
was in, but the latter had so
firmly rooted himself in the
minds of the people during his
long term that he won over Mr.
Stevenson each time, though the
vote showed the popularity of

No Liquor to Drink and But
Little for Medicine

lie DuNant quart a-mOntTl
liquor bill was adopted by both
houses of the South Carolina
legislature last week, and was
sent to Governor Manning for
his signature. The bill provides
that man over 21 years of age
or a woman who is the head of
a family may procure one quart
of liquor each month upon oath
that same is to be used for med
icinal purposes only. An affida,
Wit must be filed with the pro-
bate Judge that the liquor is not
to de used as a beverage. The
affidavit must affirm that the
person has not received a like
permit during that calendar
month; that the conslgnee is not
a minor nor student of any
institution of learning; that the
office of delivery is the nearest
office of the common carrier to
the residence of the consignee.
Upon the receipt of such affi-
davit and the payment of a fee
of 10 cents the probate judge is
sues a permit to receive the
liquor. The permit shall con-
tain the name of the consig1ee,
the amount and kind of liquor,
the office of the common carrier.
The probate judge is required
to keep a permanent record of
all such permits.
The common carrier, which
in most cases means the express
company, shall deliver no liq-
uors to any person without a
permit from the probate Judge.
The express company is requir-
ed to keep a true and correct
record of all deliveries showing
the name and postoffice address
of the consignee; the amount
and kind of liquor; the place and
date of delivery. These records
are to be open to inspection by
any and all persons.
The express company is also
required to file report at least
once a week with the clerk of
court giving the same informa-
ton as the record kept in the
office. The Cancelled permits
are also filed with the clerk of
court. All these records are to
be kept open for public inspec
tion.
Any peace officer is given the
right to inspect all packages of
LIQUORS in the possession of the
express companies, and se,ze
such as are being illegally trans
ported.
No liquor containing more
than 50 per cent of alcohol is
allowed to be shipped or re-
ceived.
The bill provides that COM
mon carrier may be indicted for
violation of this law, and that
the agent may be indicted sep.
arately and personally.
Sections II. 13, ii an IS are as
follows:
Sec. II. The making, utter
ing, or using of any false permit
shall constitute the crime of
forgery.
Sec. IS. Whoever shall know
ingly transport or convey from
one place to another, or from
one person to another, any alco-
holic liquors known by him to
have been illegally sold or pro-
cured, shall receive the same
punishment as if convicted OF
the illegal sale of such alcoholic
liquors. Charges of illegal sale
OF alcoholic liquors and illegal
transportation thereof may be
joined in the same Indictment.

TALKS ON HEALTH
DIR. William Brady.
Where Adenoids Are Made.

Not every child who looks a little
short upper lip, prominent upper teeth,
high vaulted palate, drawn, tired, dull
expression, mouth breathing restless
snoring sleep and slight deafness has
adenoids. 1t is a serious mistake to
assume that this condition can be
diagnosed by any other method than
feeling the negotiations with the finger
in the throat or seeing them by means
of headlight and nose and throat in
struments.
Every child has adenoid tissue in
the roof OF the pharynS, just up be-
hind the soft palate out of ordinary
vision. Adenoid tissue is tissue such
as the tonsils are composed of. The
pharyngeal tonsil is another name for
the adenoid body 1t is only when
this adenoid tissue becomes enlarged,
like the tonsils, from frequent infec-
ton by the germs of the too common
cold that we say the child or adult
has "adenoids' or "adenoid vegeta-
tons" or "adenoid hypertrophy."
School children are more frequently
subject to adenoids than any other
class. School children have colds"
more than others because of the close
personal contact in the schoolroom, and
because SO many parents are careless
and selfish and ignorant, sending chill
dren to school with a frank coryza
or head cold" or too soon after con-
valescence from such an infectious ILL
ness.
No matter what may be the prac-
| tice of teachers and medical school
inspectors and health administrators
regarding exclusion of children from
school for these non disabling infec-
| tions, there is no getting around the
| fact that there can be no coryza, no
| cold without infection, and hence
| it is unjust to admit to q closed school,
room a child who has a fresh cold"
| a running nose, a sore throat or 4
cough, be it trifling or otherwise. The
open air schoolroom is another story.
Infection is extremely unlikely to oc-
cur from child to child, in the open
| air.
Every slight cold in the head" pro-
duces some thickening of the adenoid
tissue. If the colds" come often the
thickening is permanent. That is the
simple truth about adenoids. The
| schoolroom is the chief factor-espe-
cially the schoolroom that knows no
recess when it is not mollycoddle
weather outdoors. The overheated
home is the second factor. Adenoids
will require operations as long as peo-
pie continue to imagine that colds
are caused by exposure to any par
ticular brand of weather.

But the supreme court has not ruled upon the
validity of Cuts appointment by Governor Stewart

Here is a thing-this arpointmcnt--whch strikes

General Ford not to let this matter drop until it has
beer sifted to the bottom.
Just when the common people have secured some
voice in government by means of the primary law
and the initiative and referendum are they to be
sandbagged by Tammany Hall methods which rob
them of their very birhright under the American

If the governor of Montana, of any other state,
to have the power to ap oint members of the leg
slature then indeed must justice weep and right
and truth go unhonored and unsung. BY such
methods these does thuggery thrive. By such
methods these are the privileges of the people
trampled under foot and does our government cease
to be of, by and for the people.
Vested with this imperial power, a governor is nc
