Somehow it hardly seems fair
to Father to reduce his two Jumps
in his morning cup and then have
him go to work and see half a
ton of candy in a confectioners
window. Certainly we have not
arrived at the point where one
mist conserve and the other
revel in the sweet line. We are
not critcising the governmental
orders but merely suggesting to
them that their orders do not go
far enough in the sugar and
sweet case. Conservation should
go all along the line and not step
with Fathers lump. However,
Dad is willing perhaps to forego
his sweets that the kiddies may
have their all-day-suckers without
stint. Twas ever thus with
Father.

HE'S JELLICOE OF scAPA NOW
Former Admiral of British Grand
Fleet Has Picked His Title
as Viscount.

Admiral Sir John Jellicoe has
taken the title Of Viscount Jellicoe
of Scapa.
The name Scapa is derived from
Scapa Flow, which has been the prin-
cipal home base Of the British grand
feet since~the beginning of the war.
Scapa Flow is a great land-locked
harbor in the midst of the Orkney
islands, north of Scotland, and "a
hours train journey from London.
The surrounding land is brown,
bare, desolate and treeless. There
are 80 islands in the Orkney group,
of which So are uninhabited.
Such was the place to which Jel-
hcoe brought his squadrons at the
end OF July, 1914, and the place to
which he returned with them time
and again to rest after fruitless
chases in the North sea. Scapa was
the kingpin in the strategical dispo-
sition of the allied naval forces dur
ing the entire time that Jellicoe COM
manded them.

In November next we shall be
called upon to vote. "Wet" or
"Dry." How are you standing
on this questions Is your mind
made up that it is better wet
or dry? Is a state dry any more
than st. Louis county is? Is the
Indian lid making anything dry
that wants to be wet? Will the
State be dry if we vote it so? We
voted st. Louis country dry-but
is it dry? The writer once in the
long ago helped to make a GER
tain state dry-we thought we
did, at least until the baldheaded
facts to the contrary began to
roll in by the mile. We are not
upholding whiskey for a minute.
1t hasn't leg to stand on, but
why delude ourselves into the be-
lief that can make a state dry
with the "critter" being made by
the barrels in other places along
side us? If we are to be dry it
must be Nation wide, not little
spot here and there. Small towns
under prohibition get so dry that
a steel trap wont rust, but in the
cities they never know that there
is such thing as prohibition.
Where do we arrive at in making
a city, township, state dryy
Just nowhere. To be dry this
year. and wet next, is child s play.
Let JUS do something and get
somewhere and cut out the fool
ishness of prohibition. Right
now is the time to knock the bar
ley out of John Barleycorn by a
Nation wide movement headed by
President Wilson. Even this will
not prevent the illicit making of
whiskey in private stills. 1t will
with Nation. wide prohibition be
a constant fight to make men So
Der. 1t is the biggest question IN
the world today. Travel around
the world and one can get a
drink of whiskey in every port.
This writer does not believe in
prohlbition-htt temperance in
stead. We can never have prohi-
bition. 1t is a dream which will
never come true. Such a monster
cannot be annihilated in a day by
waving a magic wand. 1t must
be faded out in America gradu-
ally and by educational means in
our public schools. Teach the chill
dren its effects.

death-loss of liberty.

death-loss of liberty.
No one can stand on the sta
ton platform dry-eyed when the
boys leave-if they be Americans.
No one can watch the last en-
brace Mother gives her boy with
out cursing the Hun for dragging
America into this war.
And think of the thousands of
station platforms where these
same heartaches, the same good
byes, the same sad tears and The
last embrace Of Mother are today
going on. Count the windows III
Ely with the Service Flag in
them with one, two or three and
up to five stars on them. How
many hearts there are anxiously
scanning the casualty list daily
as the fight wages. And for
what?
Simply because a crazy man
got a worm in his head that he
wanted to own the earth and con.
troll it.
But he never will.
Never an American hat will be
dotted to the kaiser. Never a
German regime in America. We
shall be found dead in the front
trenches first.
When the war is won and the
boys come home, they will come
home as conquerors, not as de-
feated army and prisoners of
war.
And then Mothers heart will
glow with pride and "Son's"
honorable discharge will be
framed and hung on the wall as
an heirloom of honor to be
handed down to posterity as a
thing sacred above all.
1t was so in 61-5 and will be so
after the present war.

lshing Amount Of Gold
Every Year.

Forty thousand pounds worth Of
gold placed in the teeth of London
ers every year. That is the modest
estimate of one of the most expert
enced dentists in London made Of
the amount of goldleaf rammed,
jammed and beaten into the molars
OF the metropolis annually. This
means that nearly two cwt. of the
precious yellow metal finds a resting
place in the mouths of Londoners
every year. The gold used by dent
lists comes in books. Each book con-
tains Is sheets of gold, beaten as
thin as tissue paper. These books
cost the dentist SIS apiece. It can
be safely said that a bookful of gold
leaf represents $500 in dental
charges. It is hard to realize that
such an amount of gold is used every
year in such way, but the fact re-
mains. The demand for gold filling
is increasing every year. It was ex-
pected that aluminium and other
metals would take its place, but it
easily stands at the head of the list.
at is safe to say that within five
years the dentists of London will be
using 100000 worth of gold every
year" said one of the craft in speak
ing Of the matter recently. The use
of that much metal represents an ag-
gregate business of 100000 a year.
