Prophecy of Jeru=
salem Comes True,

London.-For three hundred years
the inhabitants of Jerusalem have
cherished prophesy and hope
that their city would be taken by
a friendly and benign power; that
it would fall without Bloodshed;
that the conqueror would enter it
on foot, and that his name would
signify Allah and his prophet
That prophecy has been fulfilled.
General Allenby entered the Joppa
gate on foot. There was no blood
shed, and he entered as friend.
Then his name is significant. ALE
is obviously Allah, and "nby" in the
Arabic stands for something very
nearly equivalent to prophet or
seer.

Every county in Tennessee ought
to fall into line, following the Con-
ference held in Nashville yesterday,
in statewide effort and determi-
nation to put an end to lawless-
ness. With such an organization
right here in Lexington backed by
the membership and cooperation
of good citizens all over the county,
the unlawful sale of whisky could
be literally stamped out-a deplor-
able need, as everybody knows.
The officers alone can not do the
work and have the effect that could
be accomplished by an organization
of good citizens in cooperation with
them.

A War Syrup Recipe

Now, while there is need for saw
ing sugar, the following recipe for
war syrup will prove acceptable and
valuable to those who enjoy hot
cakes. Hot cakes should be eneour-
aged because the flapjacks the Yam
KEGS are so fond of are great wheat
savers. Practically every substitute
makes good hot cakes. and they form
the favorite American breakfast when
served with good syrup.
War Syrup-Two cups corn syrup.
one cup water; boil FIVE minutes
Cool. Add one teeaspoonful Maple
inc and Il teaspoonful salt.
This recipe was furnished by pro-
minent cooking expert and is recon-
mended, as the syrup may be served
not only with hot cakes. but on mush.

little vessels will be passed along by
powerful machinery from one group of
workmen to another and, as 1t passes
each group will add something to the
boat.
When the last rivet has been driven
in the steel hull, the boat will be picked
up bodily by q powerful hydraulic lift
and deposited further down the ways
where skilled workmen will install the
