John Barleycorn, Herr Brew and
in fact every brand of Intoxicating
liquor seems to be headed for rack
and ruin i'll the United Kingdom.
Regardless of the recent Associated
Press dispatches that politicians of
England were highly pleased with the
liquor conditions under their extraor-
binary restrictions, the people them
selves are taking a different view of
the matter. Unfortunately for the
liquor people, in England the same as
in many of the commonwealth of the
United States, women have vote.
The women of that nation arc mani
testify exactly like the women of our
nation, in sympathy with the home
and in favor of Prohibition.
On Saturday, July 10th the London
Women's Demonstration in behalf of
hhe War Time Prohibition of Alco-
holic Liquors was held. There had
been two air raid warnings early in
the morning and later a deluge OF
rain. Women are not, however, easily
daunted and at the appointed time
several thousands assembled on the
Embankmcnt where a striking pro-
ccssion was formed
Several tableaux including groups
of girls representing Canada" "A
Masque of Noble Women" Women
of the Empire" also van represent
ing barrel of beer and sacks OF SUI
gar and grain and displaying notices
and van loads of mothers and chill
dren with suitable notices formed an
attractive part OF the procession.
Among other notices were the fol-
lowing:
"Six Million Women now have

The procession was headed by Lady

and many members OF the Demon

marched along Northumberland Az

1t is matter of regret that the
priority committee of the war indus
tries board would not permit the cree
ton OF a $4,000 tabernacle for Billy
Sundays meetings at Providence, r.
I. The committee decided that the
building OF the tabernacle will not
lend itself to the winning OF the war
but will have an effect after the war
is over. The site for the proposed
tabernacle was on land owned by a
millionaire brewer Perhaps that had
something to do with the failure of
the project. Don't let them try to
locate you on a brewers land again,

FRENCH SCHOOLS ADOPT" Or
PHANS AND SOLDIERS

A recent movement promoted by
the vice rector Of the Academic de
Paris, is the adoption Of war or
phans by pupils Of elementary and
secondary schools, the United States
Bureau of Education reports. The
orphans thus adopted are known as
'Pupilles de l'EcOle.' They are Civ
en- food, shelter, and clothes by the
pupils of the school that adopts
them until they become able to earn
their own living.
Another interesting movement Is
the adoption Of soldiers in active
service by the schools. The names
OF soldiers having no relatives or
friends are furnished by relief so
cieties; and once a soldier is adopt
ed by a school the pupils, guided
by teacher, shower upon him let

ions, etc"

sWINDLERS TRICK TAKES MONEY
SENT TO SOLDIERS

Relatives and friends Of several
soldiers in Army camps have been
victimized by swindlers who wired
or wrote for funds under soldiers
names. In each instance-it was re-
quested that money be sent by wire
waving Identification, or by mail
to general delivery. the customary
explanation being that the soldier
had been discharged and would have
no way Of securing Identification.
nor Of getting mail addressed to his
company.
The following is a typical tele-
gram, sent TO the father Of soldier
in a southern camp:
Have been discharged. Coming
home. Going TO Atlanta through
country tonight Please wire me
$50 at Atlanta so | may pay for
and come home direct.
Waive Identification as am not
known in Atlanta. Wire cash so
can get il tomorrow morning"
Before being complied with, any
request for money 10 be sent under
such conditions should be verified
by a letter or telegram TO the COM

which the man whose name is sign
