ON LIQUOR QUESTION
Miss Anna Gordon, Head of w. C..
T. u, Talks at West Presby-
terian Church.

every woman in the nation is in SYM
pathy with the war temperance program,
and with national temperance probibi-
ton" Miss Anna Gordon, president OF
the National w C.. +. T., said iii West
Church this morning.
'"The war is bringing women into
closest cooperation, their sons are IN
danger" she continued, "and they are
going to work not only for the prohibition
amendment, but for war prohibition.
Five and one-half million women want
the food that goes into liquor sent to the
armies in France"
Eve are thankful that General Pershing
is total abstaincr, and doing the best be
can to protect our men in France" Miss
Gordon later said, and her words were
loudly appauded. Investigations have
shown that conditions in the camps IN
France are the same as here, and they are
generally good. 1t is only when the men
go on leave to the big cities that they are
in temptation

Washington and Philadelphia, and she
took the occasion to stop of to address
che White Ribboners of the city. She ~
visiting various State organizations IN
order that the national executive may
have the viewpoint of State presidents for
the passage of the prohibition amendment.

unanimous cooperation between all the

iSIGNALED BY UNIQUE MEANS
Roman Generals Of Ancient Times
Had Remarkable Method Of Send
ing Messages to Each Other.

! The Roman generals before the fall
Of Carthage in 146 B. @. provided their
signal stations with earthenware YES
sells, exactly equal in all respects, and
fitted with cocks which allowed the
water to escape at the same rate.
They were carefully tested to make
sure Of this last requirement. Corks,
Of smaller diameter than the vessel,
were floated in them bearing rods
upon which were marked, at a dis
lance of three fingers apart, the sim
plest and most urgent military mes
sages.
These were used as follows: The
sending station raised a torch; the re-
ceiving station, seeing 1t, did likewise;
this was a signal for both stations to
open the corks of their water Jars.
When the rod at the sending station
had sunk so that the desired message
appeared at the edge Of the jar, anoth-
er torch was raised, the receiving sta
ton shut off its cork and read the mes
sage on its rod, marked identically
with that at the sending station.

IS CENTER OF HOSPITALITY
Location and Construction Of Fire
place Are Matters Of Importance
! In Building q Home.

In the Farm and Fireside a writer
says:
"The center Of hospitality in the
home is that point about which the
family itself gathers most often. This
point is in most homes the fireplace.
Hence its location and construction are
Of vast Importance in building home.
"The fireplace, If there is only one,
should be in the living room, for there
the family and friends can enjoy 1t
most. 1t should be located in the GEN.
ter Of wall space, either on one side
or at one end Of the room. Select the
space which will permit the greatest
number Of people to sit around it.
"In the construction Of the fireplace
you must not forget that its chief pur-
pose is for FIRE. The more simple
the lines Of construction, the better
taste is displayed, and the more room
the open fire receives.
"There Is great variety of materi-
ais suitable for a fireplace, and your
individuality and taste can be well ex-
pressed in this important factor Of the
home. Brick, tile, wood and many tile
substitutes may be used. These offer
great possibilities both for good color
and design, and lend themselves to any
style Of architecture"

HERON is EXPERT FISHERMAN
Great Bird lmpresses Watcher by
Great Skill With Which He Uses
His Long Bill In Water.

There is nothing of more interest
than following stream, either by boat
or on foot and not the least among
the surprises coming to you-always
welcome SURPRISES the starting Of
a great blue heron far ahead, the giant
bird being interrupted while fishing in
some shallow water where the min
nows and taddies congregate.
The herons all, and the great blues
particularly, are expert fishermen;
not, of course, with rod and line, but
as giggers, the implement being the
natural one of their long bills. If you
can make long and successful sneak
ahead and spot one Of these birds
through your field glass, or even with
sharp, long-distance eyes, the slender
creature standing like a statue and
quite as motionless for many minutes
at a time or stalking slowly along,
rarely more than half-leg deep in the
water, to a new spot, and then see him
by downward stroke Of his long neck
and bill which hardly ever misses
make crack at inny titbit, you
will be impressed also with his skill.

AMERICANS NOT FISH EATERS
Consumption, Per Capita, In United
States Is Less Than In Almost
Every Other Country. =

The average American eats 20
pounds of fish a year. This includes
oyster, shrimp and mussels. One die
tary authority states, according to
Leslie's Weekly, that 200 miles inland
from our three coasts the consumption
of fish food, per person, is less than
half pound annually.
Each inhabitant Of the British Isles
has fish on his bill Of fare to the ex-
tent of 100 pounds every IL months,
while the fish consumption, per capita,
in Germany is 100 pounds; Holland,
100 pounds: Norway, Sweden and Den
mark, $50 pounds; China, 225 pounds,
and Japan nearly 500 pounds.
Latin-Americans are the only people
who eat less fish than do the inhab-
itants of the United States.
There is absolutely no sane argu.
ment against the larger and more ex-
tensive use Of fish as a daily diet
throughout the length and breadth Of
this land. 1t is ideal as food. 1t is
highly nutritious and rich in proteins.
1t is most easily digested. It contains
in great abundance the chemical In
gradients for making bone, muscle and
tissue. AS food nothing detrimental
can possibly be said against It. Fish,
with the exception Of a few species,
are clean feeders.
