 The business flourished The boot legger became a wholesale liquor dealer. He doubled his money on every quart he sold to his retailers. He bought home and paid for it, and an automobile kept him from worrying over the high price of shoe leather
 The police, however, one day dis covered his system. They arrested him and he confessed He will go to jail and pay a fine.
 What of the distillery that shipped in this liquor falsely labeled and con trary to state and federal statutes?
 Because men will prostitute them selves for gain and lose their repu- tations for dollars is one reason why national prohibition of the manufac. ture and sale of whiskey will soon be part of the constitution,

FOR PosTERITYs SAKE.

The board of agriculture in Lon. don has issued a call for women tree planters. It is said that there are ten million forest trees in the hands of nurserymen which will be destroyed unless planted during the forthcoming season, and the shortage of men is responsible for the action on the part of the agricultural board. The women of England, who have so far proved themselves equal to every task i'm posed upon them by the government could engage in no more useful work than the planting of trees.

Frenzied finance has nothing on the liquor business in Seattle. Recent dis closures there show that bootleg ger is able to rise rapidly from the loWly ranks of those who peddle a shot at time from their hips to a place of influence and comparative wealth in the profession"
 One of the heads of the booze ring has told how it was possible for him to push his way to the front.
 He began with the proverbial bot tie on his hip, which he sold at so much sip in dark corners, alleywavs. and the back rooms of pool halls.
 But this bootlegger wanted larger fields to conquer. He hitched his wagon to the star of adroitness, and ordered an eastern distillery to ship him whiskey in cans that ordinarily

TRAIToRoUs TO EAT MEAT.

Regarding the use of meat on Tues days and Fridays, Henry B. Endicott has written sharp letter to an off cial in a prominent club in Boston who had reported that some individuals insist upon meat He says in the let ter:
 eff any member of your club asks for meat of any kind on Tuesday or Friday, will you please explain that none is to be served. After explain ing to them, if they still insist upon having it. say to them from me that any man who insists upon meat upon those days takes the position of not being willing to help our allies and our hovs who are fighting for ua in France
 There can be no halfway position for a man to take in this war He is either for us or against us If he is for us, he wants to help. If he is not willing to help up in this time of our need, he is a traitor to his country. You may show this letter, if you de- sire, to any man who refuses to com ply with my request, and if, after he has read it. he still insists upon meat, please furnish me with his name."- Boston Transcript.
