grand jury made investigation OF vice conditions in
Dallas and commented favorably conditions dis

Judge r. 3. Seay told members of the grand jury
that their work, followed up has been by speedy

Since that time there have been number of law
violations. known bootlegging. This is being
almost exclusively by Negroes and white persons who
associate with them There is evidence that those
who formerly kept open saloons in Dallas have any
connection whatever with violations local option

found guilty of bOOtegging since prohibition became
effective, were engaged in the business less

The grand jury declared that lone of the reasons
for the existence Of dsorderly houses the city and
one of the difficulties in combating this
evil is the seeming indifference careIessness OF
some who have property 10 rent. During our inves-

there is not law by which both parties could be

the decrease in crime in all its different grades has
been marvellous. The number of prisoners in the CITY

remarkable city men detained for drunkenness

half while in the county jail there reduction OF
more than 80 percent. Similar reductions are also
to be found in the county convict

Under such conditions and TO reduce county expenses
We recommend that some of the county convict camps

FRIGID BLESSINGS.

II has been a hard winter unquestonably for
the people the United States. The cold and
snow have been unprecedented the history of the
weather bureau. The shortage has made things
worse still. And yet there are compensations Some
of them are mentioned by Or. r. II. Bishop, health
commissioner OF Cleveland. city which regards it
self having suffered much from the rigors of the
season.
The weather has really been fine says DR.. Bishop
for health which is the main thing. Health con-
ditions better
There are few cases of communicable
diseases, and colds sore threats are hard
find despite the extreme temperatures"
Maybe he should have said because Of the ex-
treme temperatures. For he goes to explain that
warmer weather in the winter months would mean
moist weather and wet sidewalks wet feet and a
halcyon the distribution and propagation Of
disease germs
What IL ones feet do get cold in weather? he
asks Cold feet better than feet And a walk in
the cold dry air is better than dose of medicine.
AS for the evil, it's blessing in disguise. The
more people have shovel off their walks. the
better. There's nvigorating exercise.
The best thing about this philosophy is that it's
really and easily corroborated, when you
begin think about it. Despite all the discomfort
inconvenience that tens of millions have endured this
winter isn't fact that the general state of health
here and almost everywhere in the country is bet
ter than usual?
