WAsHISGToN, Sept. 5.-The Senate
taking cognizance to-day Of the increas-
ing demand for restriction of the traffic
In intoxicants In the neighborhood OF
coal mines. shipyards. munition plants
and other manufacturing establishments
engaged in the production of war neces-
stiles, passed without even a roll call or
reference to a committee a resolution
by Senator Kellogg (Minn.) authorizing
the President to declare dry zones"
wherever In his opinion such action was
necessary.
The Kellogg resolution was simply
that section of tho bone dry amend
ment' to the pending food production
stimulation bin of similar tenor and
Identical language.
House Postp0nes Consideration.
1t was sent at once to the House and
there introduced by Representative Mil
Ter tMinn.). but on objection to it's inn
mediate consideration interposed by Rep
resentative Dent (Ala.) its considera-
ton was postponed under the rules Of
the House.
With the House in agreement to take
up the war revenue bill tomorrow and
continue its consideration for a con-
siderable time the chances are that the
speedy enactment of the Kellogg Miller
resolution cannot take place until that
important measure is out of the way.
The action of Representative Dent
drew a flood of privately expressed in
vective from the friends of the measure
Wet Plague Spot Objective.
The primary object of the resolution
was the elimination OF little plague
spot at Oliver, Wis. one and a half miles
from the twin towns of Duluth, MINI,
and Superior. Wis, whee a saloon of
large proportions. using nine bartenders
and running a motor bus line to the two
dry Industrial centres, is proving men,
ace to the peace, order and energy Of the
two towns and where also no fewer than
seven wholesale liquor houses are doing
a thriving business in third rail- booze.
The extent OF the effectiveness of the
resolution. regardless of its immediate
object, would be national.

SILENT MUSIC FOR HOSPITAL
System Arranged So That Patients May
Hear Photograph Without Dis
turbing Others Near BY.

A system Of "sllcnt music" installed
by Chicago firm In hospital at
Ottawa, ILL.,, Is described as consisting
Of a spring-motor cabinet with II turn
table similar to the ordinary phono-
graph without a horn. Attached TO
the cabinet Is special music-trnnsmit-
ter, corresponding TO the tOne-arm and
rcproducer on the ordinary phono-
graph. The transmittcr Is energized
by the vibrations Of the needle travel
ing on the record, and transmits these
electrical vibrations over a system Of
wires throughout the hospital. The
wiring terminates at outlet jacks
alongside OF patients beds.
The patient can be furnished with
n head receiver attached to n cord and
plug. When the plug Is inserted in
the Jack alongside Of the bed, the pa
tlent may hear the music by placing
the receiver against the ear. The re-
corder is inaudlble unless the receiver
is held close TO the ear, and conse-
quently one patient may receive enter
tainment while the patient In an ad-
joining bed may sleep without disturb
ance.

Ear Too Rich TO Be Safe.

Madame Lebaudy, who lost secur-
tiles to the value Of f165,OOO through
the capture Of the Prins Henrik by the
Germans, will not be very seriously
inc0nvenlenced by her loss. In pre-
war days her fortune was estimated
at fS,0O0,000, so she is the richest
woman In France and, next to Frau
Krupp Won Bohlen, the richest in Eu-
rope.
Nine. Lebaudy holds her wealth
in horror, and lives under an assumed
name in order to avoid publicity. Her
residence all the year round Is small
fiat in Versailles, where the domestic
staff consists Of one servant, who is
assisted In the work by her mistress.
Nine. Lebaudy distributes in charity
nearly the whole of her income, most
of her donations being made anony-
mously.

COMMUNITY DRYING PLANTS.

A troop Of Boy Scouts with head
for business could accomplish as good
results as were secured In cOmmun-
lty drying plant ut North Lincoln,
Neb.
The drying plant consists Of cab
met about 10 feet long, 2 feet high
and 31s feet wide. The cabinet Is
divided into five sections, four Of
which are large enough TO accommo-
date two stacks Of drying trays OF
ten each. The compartments are let
tered and the trays numbered and IA
record Is kept by the cafetaker Of the
trays assigned 10 the various patrons.
A charge Is made to cover cost of
operation and the salary Of the care
taker. The caretaker Is at the plant
for two hours In the morning and for
about one hour In the afternoon. The
patrons have their vegetables and
fruits ali prepared when they come
to the plant. Two or three sllclng
machines are provided for the conven-
fence OF those who do not have them
ut home.

It's principal outward sign Is the use
OF the royal arms over the shop front

the law for any person not being d

SCOUTS ARE NOT "GLOOMS"

A Scout Is always cheerful. Even
Mt school when his teacher, harrassed
by mlschlevous pupils. loses her tenn
per and Is unjust, the Scout smiles
just the same. At home when his poor
tired mother Is fretful from nervous
worry or his father Is cross because
OF business cares and vexatlOns, II Is
the duty Of a Scout-not only his duty,
but the great privilege Of IA ScOut-to
come into the home circle as the cheer
full man comes into the wet camp and
spread cheerfulness and happiness
broadcast by Immediately getting busy.
Soon he will see the wrinkles in his
fathers forehead lroned out and will
be rewarded by smile from his tired
mother. Then he viii know that he
has indeed done his good turn that
day, because anyone who brings good
cheer into camp or home Is cOntribut-
Ing his bit to the betterment of the
world.
Cheerfulness Is matter Of train
Ing and good digestion. II Scout
takes care Of his health, and Obeys the
third article OF the oath, which he
knows is to keep himself physically
strong, mentally awake, and morally
straight, It will be easy for him to he
cheerful; in fact, It will take an effort
on his part not to be cheerful. lie
must remember the prayer, originated
by National Scout Commissioner Dan
Beard for the Scouts:
Now lay me down 10 sleep,
| pray the Lord | may not shlrk;
II | should die before I wake,
pray the Lord I've done my work.

One Miracle Led to Another.

A man with huge smoked goggles
and pitiful stoop groped his way
along n street in Buffalo the other day.
Patrolman Mcnamara watched him
from afar. He stopped two soldiers in
uniform and told them that he was n
victim of the Mexican war, and after
describing the horrors Of the struggle
that had cost him his sight, held out II
lin cup. But his story did not move
the soldiers, and they passed on.
"Oh, you think that just because you
wear uniforms you're somebody" he
shouted after them. Patrolman McNa-
mara thought 1t so remarkable for n
blind man to sense the presence of n
uniform that he restored the sight Of
that war victim by the laying on Of
hands.-Bulfalo Express.

the pensions ministry have hnd tc
make such an assessment recently, re-
marks London Tlt-Blts. A new order
in council has stipulated the weekly

have lost limb, and the list has Its
humOrs MS well as its pathetic aspect.
Thus we find II more profitable to lose

ing suggests problem. Why should
the extent OF amputation from elbow
to shoulder vary as much as %, and

that man cannot lose the upper part

The Novice's Mistake.

In Tales Of Flying Services, Mr.. G.
G.. Grey tells about a strange entry In
the official report Of an officer who had
recently joined the service and was
sent to pass n seaplane through It's test
for the English navy. He had to go
up as n passenger with the construc-
tors pilot and to keep n log of what
occurred during he test.
This Is what he put down: "9:05 n.
m, left ship. 9:10 n. m, altlmeter
shows 300 feet above sea. 9:12 n. m,
curious phenomenon. Met a sea gull

That meant that the machine, flying
at the rate of about so miles an hour,
overlook sea gull-which is not a
fast nyer-golng at about 40 miles an
hour, and that up in the air without
any background to give proper sense
Of direction, the bird looked as If 1t
were flying toward them tail first.
Probably the officer knows better now.

Fly is an Ally Of The Hon.

Approximately 2OO,O ,OOo deaths
in the United States during the
last ar..resulted from the activ-
tiles of single ally of the Teu-
tons, and he is still allowed to go
at large.
This enemy, which leaves a
trail of disease snd death. is the
fly. 1t is well known that he is
bred in filth and leads a life OF
crime; that more soldiers were
killed in the Spanish-American
War by flies than by bullets; that
thousands of babies die every
year from diseases traced direct
ly to the fly, yet his existence is
almost ignored by a large portion
of our population.
The ''swat-the.fy" campaign
waged in this country during the
last few years has worked won
ders, but it will not result in
complete victory until every one
unites in constant and relentless
war upon him.
The best time to dispose of a
fly, of course, is while he is still
young and before he has become
stepped in crime, but effective
work can be done for the season
now.
The United States Public
Health Service has made an ex-
haustive investigation into the
life habits of the fly and has
found that he more than deserves
his bad reputation, If you will
write to the Health Service,
Washington, D. c., you will be
furnished with information as to
how to deal with the fly, how to
end his pernicious activities-in
short, how effectually to put him
out of business.
In the meantime swat the fly;
don't let one escape. A fly prop
erly swatted when it is young
will save a million or more swats

children later Reclamation

SCOUTS URGED TO SCRUB.

AS further MD In raising the stand
ards Of the Boy Scouts Of America and
improving the appearance Of Scouts
wearing the uniform, It Is recommend
ed by national headquarters that n
system Of frequent inspection Of every
troop be developed, and that no boy be
permitted to successfully pass an ex-
animation unless his uniform Is prop
,erly put on and thoroughly clean. Soap
and water will not injure the Boy
Scout uniform.
The practice Of allowing the boys
to appear ut troop meeting or on
the public thoroughfare or even in
camp In a uniform which shows evil
dence Of uncleanllness Is not conducive
to the best training Of the Scout.
