Hoover Says People Should
\ Get Il By Legislation
HlSOFFICE GONE TO LIMIT
While Whisky Is Still on Market and
Sale Permitted
URGE CONGRESS TO ACT

National Prohibition for the period
of the war is near at hand. The pres
ident of the United States and Food
Administrator Herbert Hoover, have
suggested that the problem of war
Prohibition should be settled by Con-
gress instead of by executive action
or ruling by the food administration.
This expression by the president and
Mr.. Hoover came as result of an
amendment to the agricultural appro-
priation bill driving against the use
of food stuffs for the manufacture of
beers and wines.
In letter to Senator Sheppard Mr..
Hoover stated that from a strictly
food conservation standpoint he
should like to see the manufacture of
alcoholics suppressed. He stated that
the brewcries use four million pounds
of food stuffs monthly, but that he
feared the effect of stopping brewing
so long as the sale OF other intoxicants
is permitted. In conclusion he said
that if the American people want Pro-
hibition they should secure legislation
tc that end.
Commenting on the attitude of the
president and Mr.. Hoover, the Ma
tionai Legislative Committee of the
Anti-Saloon League has issued the
following statement;
The attitude of the administra-
ton concerning war Prohibition
and the method to secure it has
been clearly and positively set
forth.
This opens the way for inme-
diate action by Congress for
war Prohibition measure.
We believe that Congress, in
harmony with its splendid record
of Prohibition enactments this last
year, will respond to the over
whelming sentiment of the nation,
and enact wartime Prohibition.

Legislative Committee.
The question of war Prohibition is
now squareiy up to the United States
Congress and the people of the United
States. Neither Congress nor the pco-
pie should fail to Immediately do
everything possible to further
srengthen the nation for war through
Prohibition of the manufacture and
sale of intoxicants. The greatest
thing before this country today is
winning the war. The nation cannot
do its best while food is wasted, eff
cheney lowered and transportation
hindered by the useless liquor traffic.

Nation NOW

Nation NOW
At an enthusiastic patriotic meet
ing of 5000 physicians and surgeons
at the annual convention of the Amer
lean Medical Association, the new
president, DR.. Arthur Dean Bevan
called upon the physicians OF Amer
ica to help abolish drink as a mill
tary and efficiency necessity. His re-
marks calling upon the 10000 MEM
bers and fellows of the American
Medical Association to fight for Pro-
hibition were enthusiastically cheered
by the audience.
Must Eliminate Drink
There can be no doubt" he said,
"of the injurious effects of alcoholic
drinks on both the physical and mental
well-being of our population. There
can be no doubt that the greatest sim
gle factor we can control in the inter-
ests of the public health of the ma
ton would be the elimination OF alco-
holic drink.
"In the slow evolution of civilization
many great wrongs persisted for CEN
turies because people had become so
accustomed to them that they were
accepted as matters of course. They
became so intrenched that it required
centuries of education or a revolution
to extirpate or right them.
Government by autocratic power
and divine right without the consent
of the governed has been tolerated.
Slavery with its horrors was defended.
The unequal rights of women went
unquestioned
Drink Is Greatest Wrong
among these great wrongs, too
long tolerated, none has done more
injury to mankind than drink. And
science and education should elimin-
ate not only the plaques and epidem-
les but also the curse of drink from
the world.
81 want to plead for the united ac-
ton of the organized medical profess
sion of this country to secure protec-
ton by law against the injury that
drink is doing to our people, not as a
political measure but as the most i'm
portant public health measure that
could be secured. In this crisis, when
we and our allies are fighting not only
for ourselves but also for humanity
and civilization, we must organize the
entire nation in the most efficient
way possible. and this cannot be done
without eliminating drink"

There was a wild rose slip of a girl

woman, whose brilliant intellect
lighted his ascending way in the lii

belle of the gay social set at Spring
field. who fluttered across his pathway
as it led to Washington. One he
loved, and one he tried to, and one
he married. These were the women
that he courted. They loved Lincoln.
To item the greatest American was
far nearer than a lofty figure on a
high pedestal. They heard his heart
beat!
These were the women that loved
Lincoln. One of them today lies near
the banks of the SangamOn where he
loved her To the last there was with
him the long, long sorrow of her loss
that cast its shadow across his heart
in youth. As late as 1864 he pushed
aside state papers in the executive
mansion at Washington to talk of her
late in the night to a friend who had
come from back home. One rests

rhetorical symbolism, and that subtle
reminiscence of a great literary and
spiritual inheritance, the Bible. which
stands to US as Homer did to the
ancients-it excels the finest gem to be
found in poetic cabinets from the Greek

teresting poetic" presentation Of the
address follows:
Sourscore and seven years ago
Our fathers brought forth on this continent
A new nation,
Conceived in liberty.
And dedicated to the proposition
That all men are created equal.
Now We are engaged in great civil war,
Testing whether that nation,
Or any nation so conceived and so dedicated.
Can long endure.
We are met on great battlefield OF that war,
We have come to dedicate a portion of that
field
AS final resting place
For those who here gave their lives
That that nation might live.
Z is altogether fitting and proper
That we should do this.
But. in larger sense,
We can not dedicate
We can not consecrate-
We can not hallow-
This ground.
The brave men, living and dead,
Who struggled here
Have consecrated it IA, above our poor
power
To add or detract
The world will little note nor long remember
What we say here.
But it can never forget
What they did here.
II is for US, the living, rather
To be dedicated here to the unfinished work
Which they who fought here have so nobly
advanced.
II Is rather for US to be here dedicated
To the great task remaining before us
That from these honored dead
We take increased devotion to that cause
For which they gave the last full measure
of devotion;
That we here highly resolve
That these dead shall not have died in vain;
That this nation, under God,
Shall have new birth of freedom:
And that government of the people.
BY the people. and for the people
Shall not perish from the earth.

Perhaps one Of the most character

revived with timeliness. On the night
of his first election the little frame"
home of the Lincolns in Springfield,
Ill., was thronged with eager neigh

came in early and favorably. Then
they were less promising. The crowd
fSindled. Then came the news that
Lincoln had carried the country. The

by that great man himself. 'When

Election Incident,

Lincoln was a clever politician and
never hesitated when president to play
trumps in a crisis.
Colonel A. K. Mcclure said that he
told Lincoln he couldn't carry Pennsyl-
vania in 1864 on the home vote unless
he furloughed 10000 Pennsylvania SOL
diers and sent them back here to vote.
Lincoln hesitated only moment and
then requested both Meade and Sher-
idan to send 5000 troops into Pennsyl-
vania for the election. which was done.
McClure's prediction was evidently
correct, as Lincoln, even with the
10000 troops voting here, carried
Pennsylvania by only SIP. To this
plurality was added some $4,000 as the
result Of Pennsylvania soldiers voting
IN the field.-Philadelph Ledger.

YOU CAN'T FIND ANY
DANDRUFF, AND HAIR
STOPS COMING OUT
Save your hair! Make it thick, wavy,
glossy and beautiful at once.

Try as you will, after an appliea-
ton of Danderine, you can not find a
single trace of dandruff or falling
hair and your scalp will not itch, but
what will please you most, will be
after a few weeks use, when you see
new hair, fine and downy at first
yes-but really new hair-growing
all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle
and scraggy, just moisten cloth
with Dandcrine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is i'm
mediate and amazing-your hair will
be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance OF abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luXu-
rance, the beauty and simmer Of
true hair health.
Get a small bottle of knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and prove that your
hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment. A small
bottle will double the beauty of your
hair Adv
