system Rrinas Results.

It's not necessary to become 70
eluse to gain fitness. The very fact
that you grow makes present tasks
easy. That gives additional time that
can be applied In still greater attain
ments. Self-mastery begets self-confi-
dence that reacts again in greater
self-mastery. And that leads TO the
mastery Of other things. Each new
attainment helps to make work easier.
The wise man knows he must have
recreation and diversion so he does
not become a grind. He just system
atizes his time and marshals his re-
sources In such a way as to startle
the careless worker. The result is
continued growth in efficiency. Every
day brings added satisfaction, for
there Is joy in achievement.-Ex-

Sheppard Amendment Ratified
Little More Than Year
After Submission.
War Is Given Credit for Fastening
Adoption Of Prohibition-csr-
psign Carried on for
Years.

The country has hardly awakened
yet to the realization Of the fact that
It has voted itself dry. The ratifca-
tion Of the Sheppard amendment to
the federal Constitution, prohibiting
the manufacture or sale Of intoxicat-
ing liquors, came so suddenly, after
more than half a century Of battle,
when the cause Of the Prohibitionists
many times seemed almost hopeless.
that even the leaders Of the dry move
ment have difficulty In realizing that,
so far as can be foreseen now, their
fght has been won.
There has been nothing in the his
.ory Of the prohibition movement to
Indicate that victory for the cause
would come with such swiftness, once
congress had been induced to submit
the proposed amendment to a vote Of
the states. Because Of the difficulty
with which changes in the federal
Constitution are secured It was not an
ticipated that ratification could be Sc
cured by the necessary thirty-six
states within less than two or three

Perhaps the first reference to at

supposedly about 713 B. c.. "the sun

placed in the Temple of Quirinus,

People are easily frightened when they
think something IS the matter with their

few people understand the dangers Of dis
eased kidneys. These organs have duty
Of vital Importance to perform, and Il they
are diseased, there IS no telling how or
where the symptoms may appear. The
kidneys are filters, and when they ara
healthy they remove the poisons from the
blood and purify i. When The kidneys
are diseased the poisons are spread every

the system and deposited in various places.

/ years at the least. Anti-prohibition
leaders felt that they had won vic,
tory when they placed a provision in
the Sheppard resolution providing that
it would be imperative if not ratified
by the legislatures of three-fOurths of
the states within seven years.
The Sheppard prohibition amend
ment, which has just been ratified by
more than three-fOurths of the states
of the Union, the number required to
make 1t effective, becomes the eight
zenith amendment TO the Constitution.
The resolution providing for its sub
mission TO the state legislatures, intro
duced by Senator Morris Sheppard Of
Texas, was finally adopted by congress
December IS, 1917. On January IS,
1919, less than thirteen months after
the adoption of the resolution by con-
gress, ratification of the amendment
by the states was accomplished. No
other proposed amendment TO the Con-
stitutica las been adopted with such
speed, with the exception of that
which provided for the abolition Of
slavery. Action or the seventeen other
amendments that have been adopted
has required from nine to forty-three
months.
The war IS gwen the credit for has
teuing the adoption of prohibition in
this country. The economic aspect of
the question was emphasized by the
war emergency, and the handwriting
on the sail was seen when congress
passed a Jaw providing for nation
wide prOhibitiOa as war measure. TO
become effective July 1, 1919. and to
continue until the armies sef the Unit
ed States have been demobilized. If
this law goes into effect, as contem-
plated. the. country viii go dry July 1,

ment win not become effective until |
one year after its ratification by the |
number of state legislatures. !

Before Congress 40 Years.


Bills providing for nationwide prohi-
bitiOn by legislation and resolutions
proposing constitutional amendmentx
for the same purpose have been before
congress almost continually for more
than 40 years. Senator H. ". Blair OF
New Hampshire proposed the first
amendment in 1876. This provided only
for the prohibition OF the manufacture
and sale of spirituous distilled liquors
for beverage purposes. He introduced
a similar measure nine times, chang
ing it in 1886 TO include all alcoholic
liquors.
Congressman Hobson Of Alabama in
trOduced the famous ''Hobson resolu-
ton" an the house December 10, 1873.
The resolution came to vote Decem-
Der -. 1914. but received only 1917
votes, while 25S were necessary for its
adoption
There is a probability that antiprohf-
bition forces will attempt 10 secure an
annulment OF the ratification vote in
several states and viii attack the le-
gality of the action of congress. In
San Francisco court order has been
secured restraining Governor Stephens
temporarily from signing the ratifica-
ton of the amendment II has been
stated that similar action may be taken
in other states. including Arkansas,
Colorado. Maine, Nevada. New Mexico, /
Oklahoma. Oregon. Utah. Washington,
Missouri and Nebraska. In these /
states, it is declared. all action taken 1
by the state legislatures may be sub
mitte6 TO the people under a referen-

good dinner with some one"
- said Lydia, who had loved to
Il s,N cook from the days when
Il (SSES4 she baked mud pies, in the
/ NT4sB sun until the nights when
$50 she made fudge in ch0hng
dish. 1t was partly because
iof her taste for cooking and partly be-
cause of her distaste for boarding
mouse life that she gladly availed her,
self of a suite in the first one-tenant
apartment house erected in her city.
Her living room with its tiny fireplace
was flanked on one end by bathroom
land a bed closet, and on the other
by a complete and compact kitchen
ette.
On Thanksgiving day Lydia fitted
from room to room singing gay
iSnatches of song. Her trim little fig
lure was lost in the lOOsenesS of long
sleeved white apron with which her for
mer Iandlady had endowed her when
she set out on this housekeeping ven
ture. Her auburn hair was soft about
her flushed face ana her blue eyes were
bright with enthusiasm as she concOct-
ed tempting dishes for her Thanksgiv-
ing dinner.
The plump chicken browning in the
tiny oven was small, and the Quivcring
mold of cranberry jelly just turned
but was small, yet there was much
more of each than Lydia alone could
eat, healthy and hungry as she was.
This thought cane to her as she was
pieces of toast for aspara- {
gus and with the thought came a hos
pitable longing to share her good din
1er with some one else who was
healthy and hungry. The girls who
