A new Mecca IS reckoning to de.

A new Mecca is reckoning to de-
voices Of art and religion. It's
name is Nova Scotia. Already the
artists have made pilgrimage and
brought back charming pictures of
Eyangeline's Land. A collection of
sixty paintings. the work of six
New York men. known as the Nova
Scotia Group, were exhibited re-
Gently in New York and elected
much praise. These pictures run
the gamut of sunshine and shadow,
brilliant fields and dark forests,
streamlets, quaint old houses and
historic churches, clumsy fishing
boats and bolossoming trees spark
ling waves and wide sweeps Of mud
dats-all typically Nova Scotian.
These pioneers have blazed a
trail over which a brush and palette
laden army will follow in seasons
to come. They will come to paint
the gentle beauty OF apple-blossoms
when the great Annapolis Valley is
covered with q fragrant pink and
white veil. They will come in cher
ry time to paint the rich red fruit
and the happy people enjoying the
Cherry Festival, time honored

JAIL NOW A HOSPITAL.

"The city of Birmingham has the
handsomest city Jail In the South, cost
ing about 100000 and surrounded by
20 acres Of ground beautifully cultl-
waited. The normal number of pris-
oners confined within 1t before the ad-
vent Of prohibition was 200 and up
wards. Today the number ranges from
GO to 20. most of them colored women.
"Now our new problem is, what to
do with this fine Jail. AS result Bir-
mlngham is forced to do Its street
cleaning and garbage collection with
paid labor instead Of with prisoners"
Hon. George B. Ward, former Presi'
dent of the City Commission of Bir-
mingham, Ala.

has been closed for lack Of prisoners
and has been offered to the govern

THE ENEMY TO BE FEARED.

/ do not greatly fear an enemy that
may embark from some distant shore
TO do us hurt. do fear this liquor
foe that burrows his insldous way
deep into the vary vltals Of our pow
er, that not only smites the living but
that drives his polsons into the lolns
Of potential fathers and into the
wombs Of potential mothers to pre-
damn the race with the eugenlc taint
Of alcohol. Give America clear minds,
clean bodies, and unspOllcd souls, and
she will prove sufficient for her mo-
mentous present even as she has an
swered every question that challenged
her glorious past, and the conclusion
is inevitable that any institution that
robs the state of these-clear minds,
clean bodies and unspoiled souls-is
an unmltlgated evil and must be de-
stroyed.-Danlel A. Polling.

EFFICIENCY AND CONFINEMENT
IN A DRY STATE.

"The contented workman" says Mr..
Gilmore of Louisville, KY, president
Of the National Model License league,
sis the efficient workman, and the
workman who feels he is getting a
square deal" 1t is shame, he de-
clares, that free-born Americans
should be denied an occasional glass
Of beer or whisky. And the Pendle-
ton East Oregonian thus retorts:
1--WE are building ships In Oregon.
Our workmen are breaking all rec
ords In ship production, so efficient
are they. They are neither inefficient
nor discontented. The only discon-
tented person we've seen lately was a
chump who paid $12 for n quart OF
bootleggers poison. He Mad u head
