MORE RIGID FIGHT
. ON PROF|7EER|NG
inspection Force Increased
by District Food Admin
...-
istrator Wilson.
DAY OF WARNING PAST

Determined to prevent possibility OF
profiteering and rampant speculation
in food articles in Washington since
many of the food control measures
have been lifted. District Food Ad-
ministrator Wilson has increased the
activities of his inspection force and
has served final notice that future Of
tenders will not be dealt with lightly
Three grocers in the southeast sec
ton of the city were closed up two
days last week as punishment for
price boosting, and six others have
been notified to appear before the
administrator tomorrow to show
cause why they should not be pun
iShed for selling food at prices higher
than the maximum quotations on the
weekly fair price list. And before the
week is over there are likely to be
half dozen more hailed before the
administrator to answer for the same
offense, according to reports made by
inspectors-but which require the
collection of additional evidence
The days of warning offenders is
past, the food administrator declares.
At this late date in the administration
OF the food control every dealer in the
city must know we'll what is required
of him. the administrator contends,
and excuses Of ignorance, misunder-
standing. or mistakes will receive no
consideration in the future.
The local administration is now is
suing its weekly price list in a much
larger form. and all dealers are re-
quired to display this price sheet in a
prominent place in their stores. Gus
toners are urged by the administra-
ton to acquire the habit of reading
ihis list before making purchases and
in the event they do not find it dis
played in a store they should imme-
diately report the fact to the admin
istration. Also, they are asked to re-
port any dealer charging prices high
er than those quoted on the list. Buy
ers also are urged to study the large
blackboards containing the daily meat
prices.

The Epidemic.

The flu is dying out, but let us
not despair-we still may have
the govt and falling of the hair.
The flu had quite a run, for
weeks twas all the rage; but
now its course is done, it toddles
from the stage. l know it's
hard to part with such a charm
ing pest; but cheer up, craven
heart, don't flutter in my breast
It's vain to weep because one
popular disease from public view
withdraws, and people cease to
sneeze. The soul heroic scorns
such weaklings as may droop
we still may have our corns, our
measles, mumps and Group. For
potions and for pills we still may
go in debt; the good old stand
ard ills, thank Pete, are with us
yet. There's no excuse tor
health; no pardon for the blues,
since we have such a wealth OF
ills from which to choose. Cry
out no vain alacks, and shed no
briny seas, but read your alma
macs, and pick some choice dis
ease. Friend after friend de-
parts, and now the flu retires
but why have aching hearts,
why twang sepulchral Tyres !?
For there's a balm beneath the
star-bespangled vault; we still
have aching teeth, and rheum
described as salt.

MORE MONEY FOR WHISKY
And LESS FOR The FAMILY
Superior Court Judge of Atlanta Says
That Is the Result of Georgia's
Bone Dry Law.

ATLANTA.-The story of young
wife in divorce court Thursday to the
effect that her husband drank whis-
ky constantly, paying SO and $40 a
quart for it. and never giving her
any money, despite the fact he had
a salary of $3.50 per month, brought
forth from Judge w. D. Ellis COM
ment on prohibition and the present
high price of liquor.
Judge Ellis first asked the wife
how her husband managed to pro-
cure so much liquor in a prohibition
city.
ut is funny don't know how
he got it, but he did-he always had
a supply" she replied.
Judge Ellis, turning to the jury,
then related a conversation he had
short time ago with an Atlanta
man. Judge Ellis said:
"This man remarked to me that
it generally was supposed that prohi-
bition meant less money for whisky
and more for the family, but that
in his case he had found it different.
He said that when liquor was sold
here he would take a ten dollar
bill, pay one dollar for a quart of
| liquor, and give the remaining nine
dollars to his family. But now, he
said, he gives one dollar to his family.
and pays the remaining nine for q
quart Of whisky"

DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean, sweet
and fresh inside, and
are seldom i'll.

If you are accustomed to wake up
with a coated tongue, foul breath or
q dull. dizzy headache; or, if your
meals sour and turn into gas and
acids, you have a real surprise await
ing you.
Tomorrow morning, Immediately
upon arising, drink a glass of hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This is intended to
first neutralize and then wash out of
your stomach, liver, kidneys and
thirty feet of intestines all the indi-
gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and
toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal.
Those subject to sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form of stomach trouble, are
urged to get quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
and begin enjoying this morning in
side-bath. 1t is said that men and
women who try this become enthu-
s!astic and keep it up daily 1t is a
splendid health measure for it is more
important to keep clean and pure on
the inside than on the outside, because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the bleed, causing disease,
while the bowel pores do.
The principle Ct bathing inside is
not new, as millions of people practice
It Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water and teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
Kidneys and bowels Limestone phos-
phate is an inexpensive white powder

Hl[ETAB))0 ways deeply interested in
NfS#yzN2kN any quaint beliefs or IN
l&SV9AI usual mannerisms of the
countries across the ocean.
Particularly have the habits of Eng
land and France held us; the former
because she Is our mother country, the
latter because of the unquenchable
dear memory of Lafayette, and more
recently because of that same spirit so
gloriously upheld today by Frances
noble sons. And this holiday time
finds US with our eyes turned thither-
ward for q more poignant reasOn-for
there aren't many homes who cannot
claim father, a son or a brother cover
there"
And it is well to know some of the
homely, sweet little superstitions
which prevail among the people of our
allies.
In England and in Scotland the say
ing goes that it is unlucky for anybody
but a brunette to first cross the thresh-
old on Christmas morning.
To bake bread on Christmas day is
praiseworthy, and loaves baked then
will never grow moldy. In these times
Of scarcity Of flour, the poor loaves do
not stand half chance to mold!
Woe to the housewife who on this
day turns a mattress. 1t bodies i'll luck
for the whole year.
A superstition which had it's origin
In Devonshire tells US that it is bad
form and i'll luck indeed not to wish
the bees good morning and the compli-
mentS Of the season. On Christmas eve
the hives are decorated with springs
of green and bit of red ribbon. IT'S
also said that bees sing all night on
Christmas eve. But bees are rather
perpetual singers, anyway.
The graceful traditions prevail, in
northern England and Wales, that the
birds and beasts have some mystic
connection with the Nativity. Hence,
the farmers and landowners purchase
sheaves of oats from little boys who
sell them as our boys sell holly. These
bundles are placed in convenient high
places in trees and fences, that the
birds may partake. The cattle, sheep,
goats, and even the pigs, are all given
double the amount of feelings on
Christmas morning.
. In Lyons, France, at the Founding
hospital, very pretty custom is to
welcome the first baby that arrives
with special honOrs-a beribbOned
cradle, padded basket soft clothing
solicitude and bestowal of gifts, and
careful attention. This is done in ex-
patton of the poor welcome given to a
Wee Child of Bethlehem 20 centuries
ago, and beautiful thought it is.
In some provinces in France it is
considered bad luck to cross a strange
threshold on Christmas day.
