The House of the Star.

star is the universal symbol of beauty and
glory.
For uncounted centuries it has been emblematic
of the greatest heights of achievement and ideals
to which aspire.
"Star of Hope" "Star of Empire" "Star of
Freedom"-these are the superlative phrases by
which we express our faith, trumphs,
visions. Whatever is not to be surpassed in beauty
and achievement, that we symbolic by star.
In the hearts of Americans today one star is
set above all Others 1t is the service star in the
windows of million American homes-the star
which tells all who pass that son of that house
fights for the worlds star of freedom.
service star in the window of house that
gives a son! simple, familiar thing, but
gaze at it there rise many visions. We see flag
of many many stars flying in glory; man
struggling on a bloody field; we see mother
knee1ing in prayer; we see above and far beyond
democracy established in all nations, the brother
hood of man a reality, the world illumined and
renewed. But clearest of all behind that star
see a son and mother.
Long ago, in the sunrise of history, there was
another House of the Star, lowy house, like most
of these where shines the star today. And above
the 1owly house hung star of glory and portent
like these but greater, and beneath it, as now
there a Mother and Son.
Then, now. the star marked house whose
Son offered His life for the life and liberty of the
world; house where the Mother knew with all
mothers, the agony and benediction of sacrifice.
We who but watchers of the battle pass
these present houses of the star and look upon
them with tenderness and pity, seeing too little
We have need to remember that first House Of the
Star, and like wise men, also behold it. and wor-

For from the house of the star then, and now,

Three Delaware Counties.

That each community has its diff
ferent problems and interests Is
shown by the work done in three
counties of Delaware in March. In
one county, poultry raising was en-
phasized.. From January to the end
of March over 1000 bulletins on poul-
try were distributed. There were also
home demonstrations of balanced
meals" with special reference to vege-
tables and the need for home gardens.
The schools were used as centers for
spreading food-conservation messages.
In another county special attention
was paid to demonstrating the use of
wheat substitutes, and the grange
organizations were enlisted in the
work of food conservation.
In the third county, which included
the city of Wilmington. special work
was done in community centers such
as settlements, etc, and emphasis
was laid on canning kitchens. A food
exhibit was held toward the end OF
the month, and a successful effort
was made to get the retail grocers to
use the exhibit for their window dis
play.

DR.. IRVING FISHER ON MoDER-
ATE DRINKING.

"The present movement for prohibi-
ton is making it clear that moderate
drinking is a fallacy. Alcohol Is al
ways narcotic. 1t parqlyzes the
brake on the heart beat. The judg-
ment is made incapable Of detecting
the camoufiage. Tt has been scien'.
tifically shown that the typesettter
who takes one glass of beer Is, to that
extent, e-glass-of-beer drunk. :.
The men and women who advocate
moderation are responsible for much
heavy drinking. The stamp of rpprov-
al in the drawing-room makes alcohol
a desirable commodity among the
working class. Alcohol con-
sumes 51a per cent of the total food
values Of the United States and 70 per
cent of our breadstuffs, 1t conscripts

the bottle-and man-power. :.

VANTAGES OF PROHIBITION.

Speaking Of the marked benefits
that have come to wage earners from
statewide prohibition, Mr.. Clint G.
Houston, editor of the Denver Labor
Bulletin says:
"Since the saloons were closed the
money which went to the brewing and
liquor interests, now goes to the fam
flies. The saloon, which was once her
aided as the poor mans club is now
known to have been his worst enemy.
/ do not believe that Is per cent Of
the wage-earners Of Colorado would
ever again vote to re-establish the sa-
loon. In fact, census which / caused
to be made Of three building trades
unions, one each in Denver, Colorado
Springs and Pueblo, shows that when
the beer amendment was up for adop-
ton In 1915, only about per cent In
these three communities voted for it.
eff the wage-earners throughout the
nation can be made to realize what o
drain upon their incomes is removed
by the passing Of the saloon and how
their own self-respect and the respect
of others is enhanced thereby, they
will not only assist in the elimination
Of the saloon from the various states

Mystery still attaches to certain ex-

Of the world and known to science as

these sounds seem to come from the

uFoop WILL win THE WAR;

When the senate's committee on ag~
riculture was investigating the subject
Of foodstuffs, the liquor men denied
that they consumed as much as the
prohibitionists said they did. They Ge-
clared that they used only one per cent
of the grain.
All right, let's take them at their
word.
One per cent Of the grain will feed
one per cent Of the people. This means
100000 people, because there are.
100000,000 of us In this country.
We shall probably send 100000 sob
diers to France.
This means that the liquor men villa
have been wasting enough foodstuffs
to feed every last man who goes to the
trenches! ....
If food will win the war--as Hoover
says-then the liquor men have fear
full responsibility resting upon them
when they deliberately waste the food
which would give life and strength to
our soldiers.
But what about the man whose vote
gives the liquor men the right to do
this? Every vote for the drys wils
help save the soldiers at the 'front.'
