TRACTOR HEATS THIS HOTEL
odd Use for the shambIing Engine OF
the Fields In Carlisle (Pa.)
Hosiery.

Carlisle, Pa.--What is believed to be
the most novel and satisfactory solu-
ton Of furnace trouble is seen in the
heating of the Cumberland hotel here
with an outside traction engine. When
the steam heating plant "went on a
strike" the guests of the hotel suf-
fered no inconvenience, according to
fine statement of the owner, w. b.
Kline. because steam traction engine
was steered to the side of the hotel and
mines attached to the steam pipes in
the building and the problem was
solved.
The entire buildings 80 rooms have
regular heat now, and the furnace can
be repaired without interruption.
Proprietor Kline says if the engine
were permanent fixture and not I'M
slightly, outside Of hiring an extra man
for engineer, he'd as soon have 1t as
n furnace. He does not recommend Its
extended use, however, on account Of
the scarcity of engines In some places

PROHIBITION FANATICS.

The men who administer the great
railroad systems of the country, the
heads of industrial corporations, the
managers of baseball teams, the train
ers of prize-fghters and football
SQUADS, and many others to be found
in unexpected places, whom time
would fail us to mention-these are
"the whirling dervishes of prohibition
fanatlclsm" says Rev. Matt. S. Hughes
In his new book, "The Logic of Prohi-
bition." "The genuine fanatics are
these people who, in increasing num-
bers, for various reasons, insist that
men shall not drink under such pen
allies as they are able to visit upon
them. They are" he says, leagues
in advance of all the cranks who vote
to abolish the traffic. These latter
are only asking that the state forbid
the distiller and brewer to manufac-
ture and the saloonkeeper and barten"
der to sell; the real fanatics issue Or
ders to American citizens prohibiting
the drinking Of liquor" There Is fan
atheism, too, Mr.. Hughes points out,
among the crowned heads and the war
generals of Europe. And "there are
some fanatical prohibltionists of the
extreme type even among the saloon
keepers-that is to say, they will not
allow their bartenders to drink"

Children love this ''fruit laxative"
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result is
they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath Is bad,
system full Of cold, has sore throat,

Millions of mothers give California
Syrup Of Figs" because 1t Is perfectly
harmless; children love 1t, and 1t new

PLAN TO STOP SMUGGLING
"Honor System" to Be Given a Trial
in the United States Gus
toms Service.

San Francisco. The "honor system"
is to be given a trial In the United
States customs service.
W. H. Tidwell, special agent of the
treasury department, is about to ap-
peal to department stores and milli-
ners in an effort to discourage the
illegal entry into this country of
aigrettes, birds of paradise feathers
and other plumage prohibited impor-
tation by federal law.
Tidwell says rare feathers are al
most as plentiful as ever, despite the
passage Of a law several years ago
excluding them from entrance. He
says the law seems to have increased
the demand and as a result the pre-
hiblted feathers are seen in open dis
play in shop windows. He believes
the storekeepers will cooperate in the
enforcement Of the law if they are
properly approached. He says it is
almost impossible to detect smuggling
by women.

Representatives Of British Do
minions to Sit With Lloyd
Georges Advisers.
WILL SHAPE FUTURE POLICY
Everything Affecting Conduct Of War
and Negotiations for Peace Will
Be Considered by Colonial
Premiers Sitting With
Inner War Board.

London.-Vast changes for King
George VS. far-flung dominions, indeed
for the whole world, are bound up in
the great congress Of the British EN-
pire to be held here.
Representatives of the British en-
pire's leading elements have met be-
fore, but more as a matter of cere-
mony and form. This time they come
to London to do things. They will con-
slider and decide all important policies
now at issue having to do both with
present problems and with those which
are expected to come up at the close of
the conflict.
In this unprecedented meeting, as
in the several military and economic
councils of the entente allies and even
In the similar gatherings of the Teu-
tonic nations and their allies, expert
ence is being gained which will do
much to further the worldwide coop
Grafton now the goal of most construc-
tive thinkers.
Premier David Lloyd-George has
promised that the representatives OF
the dominions shall sit with the inner
British war board of five members
not in the sense that a visitor Is in
vited to sit beside a judge on the
bench, but as voting equals.
! The Welsh leaders far-seeing eye
ba3 discerned that in this way lies
safety for Britain-that only by max
ing the world girdling empire an or
ganization of peers can real co-opera
ton and the full development Of Brit
ish strength be attained.
VIII Sit In Council.
Here are the men who win sit In
this imposing council:
For Great Britain: David Lloyt
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1917-03-02

prime ministers or their representa-
tives will be members Of the war
council, and we propose to arrange
that all matters of first Importance
shall be considered at its meetings.
Nothing affecting the dominions,
the conduct of the war or the nego-
tiatiOns for peace will be excluded
from the scope Of its authority. There
will, of course, be domestic questions
which each part Of the empire must
settle for itself. Such domestic mat
tiers will be our only reservation. But
we propose that everything else shall
be, so to speak, on the table.
Entitled to Say.
"You do not suppose that our over
seas nations can raise and place in
the field armies containing prepon-
derant portion of their best manhood
and not want to have say, real
say, in determining the use to which
they are to be putt That seems to us
an impossible and undemocratic propo-
sition.
"Up to the present we have Shout
dered practically alone responsibility
for the policy Of the war; We now
wish to know that in our measures for
prosecuting the war to a finish, in our
negotiations for peace and in the prob
lens arising from the war and follow
ing its close we shall be carrying out
policy agreed to by the representa-
tives of the entire empire, sitting to-
gether in plenary council.
"Things can never be the same
after the war as before 1t. Five de-
mocracies. all parts of one empire, cam
not shed their blood and spend their
treasure with heroism and disregard

SIGN OF THE TIMES.

SIGN OF THE TIMES.
We are saying good-by to the per-
ambulatlng saloon. The rapid disap-
pearance during 1916 of alcoholic
liquors from the dining cars of many
of the great transportation systems Is
one of the high lights Of the temper
anee reform. Dry states and "Rule
G" are the cause of this total absti-
hence advance.
Dining car chefs and walters on
transcontinental express trains are
often more familiar with the growth
of prohibition territory than are some
of their liquor imbibing patrons. A
humorous cartoon colloquy (New York
Herald) is an illustration in point.
"Can have q highball on this train|
queries the thirsty traveller as he
takes seat in the dining far.' mo,
sir" replies the affable waiter, 1--WE
are crossing a dry state, sir. Be pa
tient, for in a few moments we will be
across the line" The waiter soon ap-
preached with the hlghball, saying,
''Heres your drink, sir. We are now
in q wet state. Hurry up Be eau
tious! We are getting near another
state line" The passenger is fatally
deliberate. To his dismay the waiter
returns and carries off the drink with
the remark, "Give me that drink
quick. You are too slow! We are
again in a dry state. From Address

LOSE ONE DOLLAR
TO WIN ONE KISS

Boston.-The Harvard Lam
pooh has discovered a way to
cut down the high price Of kiss
ing. Smacks can be had at 81
per, If a formula evolved at Har-
ward is followed. 1t is easier
than rolling off a log, and much
more pleasant, according to late
reports.
Here's the scenario, clipped
from the Harvard Lampoon:
'First select a girl "a pretty
one), then bet her a dollar that
you can kiss her without touch
ing her. This sounds impossi-
BILE and will appeal to her sport
ing blood.]
"Next kiss her and pay the
dollar like good loser"
Who wins?

Of cost beyond all praise and In come
mon cause without establishing a unity
such as never existed until now"
Although the British empire now
presents united front to the Teutons
such spirit Of union has not always
marked It's history.
War has united the empire; first,
the Boer struggle, and, second, the
present titanic conflict.
Were object Lessons.
The two wars were object lessons
for the provincial Londoners. In this
war more than a million fine soldiers
have already left their homes to fight
for their king in France, in East At
RIGA, in Mesopotamia, in Egypt and on
the GaIlipOli peninsula. On the latter
spot they died by the ten thousand in
a hopeless attempt to take impregna-
BILE positions.
The callber of the colonial leaders
who will come here is not inferior to
that of the British leaders with whom
they. win confer. Perhaps the strong
est and most interesting personality
among them is Premier Hughes of Aus
tralia.
When he visited England for the
first time year ago he impressed Eng
lishmen deeply.
Hughes weighs less than 100 pounds,
has chronic dyspepsia, and shows
about ten times as much energy as an
ordinary 2OO-pound man in full health.
He started life as an itineranlt
schoolmaster in Australia, carrying a
pack about the country and teaching
frontiersmen's children. Then he
opened up a little general store near
the wharves in Sydney, became ac'
duainted with the dock labOrers and
headed the trades union movement
He rose rapidly to be Labor member
Of the assembly of New South Wales,
then a member of the Australian COM

of external affairs, and finally premier

had ever known,

MODERATE DRINKING.

Professor Durig, a famous mountain
climber, conducted experiments upon
himself, climbing In each case 5000
feet to the top Of Mt. Bilkencrat in
the Alps. He recorded the height
climbed, his personal weight and that
of his pack, and carried instruments
to measure exactly the bodily energy
put forth, the amount of muscle work
done, and the length of time required.
On certain days he took alcoholic drink
equivalent to two glasses Of beer, and
found that, while his instruments
showed that he expended is per cent
more energy than on the days of abb
stinence, he took 21.7 per. cent longer
to reach the top of the mountain.

before the Canadian club, La Baronne

from her chateau just before the Ger
mans seized it for their commanders
headquarters, and added:
SLOW did it happen the Germans
were obliged to retreat when so near
Paris? One explanation is that the
amy was in the champagne district
and the army was literally dead drunk.
