A BAD INDIAN

The Mount Vernon News tells al
interesting story of how an Indiai
started to get even with the whites
II says:
Back in the early days of this
country il was the practice of the
pale faces to peddle booze to the
simple redskins, we are told in
the history book. There are ac-
counts of how the white men
were able to trade the red men
out of vast territories when a few
bottles OF old-iashioned fire.
water were introduced into the
transaction.
The News then relates how an In
dian came to town and sold "medi
cine" containing 90 per cent alcohol
until the authorities interfered. TIL,
News concludes:
In some parts of the country ii
has been for years against the
federal law for a pale face to sell
liquor to an Indian, but we do
not know whether there is back
fire on this law that makes it un-
lawful for the red man to pollute
his white brother by selling liq-
uor to him.

owner of the boat, the officers were
told. The saloonlleeper paid cash for
the beer to the Pabst agent at Keno
sha, it was said, and after he saw the
beer safely aboard he came back to
Chicago.
Zion City is surely proving stum-
bling block to the Wisconsin-1l illinois
beer smugglers. 1t was at this point
that the trucks carrying beer from
Kenosha to Chicago were apprchended
some time ago, which seizure has re-
suited in the cases now before Federal
Judge Lands OF Chicago. These
cases are attracting nationwide atten-
ton as Judge Lands is making 4 thor
ough probe into the beer smuggling
business and has bound over to the
grand jury many Milwaukee and Chi
cago brewers and scores OF Chicago
saloonkeepers.

JURORS SMELL CORKS
THEN QUICKLY CONVICT
After Failing to Have Bootleggers
Freed on Technically, Their Attor-
neys Find Jury Has Quick Convic-
ton Punch

Judge Henry of Lebanon county,
Pa. presiding in the Dauphin county
court last week ruled that the Penn
sylvania courts still have jurisdiction
in cases involving violation of the liq-
uor laws. The attorney representing
bootlegger asked that the Indictment
be quashed on the ground that federal
authorities had superseded state au-
thorties. Judge Henry ruled other
wise and ordered the trial to proceed.
Something of stir was created in
the court room when one of the jurors
asked that the corks OF bottles pre-
sented in evidence be drawn. The
jurors then took their turn in SMELL
ing the contents. The defendant was
promptly convicted. The jurors
seemed to feel that chemical analysis
of the COZ tents of those bottles would
be useless expense.

TO EXPEDITE ACTION

The federal government has asked
the Supreme Court OF the United
States to expedite consideration of
appeals from Federal Court DEGREES in

LOST LIBERTY

Walt Mason, in Chicago Dai;ytNevs
Still some lament, with language
rude, the passing of Old Booze; the
precious boon of getting stewed they
cannot calmly lose. Our fathers
fought at Bunker Hill, Toledo, and
elsewhere, that we our tanks with gin
might fill.' they wrathfully declare.
Our noble sires give up their lives
that we might wear bun, and paint
the town and beat our wives, and
have all kinds of fun. George Wash
ington flung forth his flag, and made
the tyrant quail, that we might buy
goodly jag, and sleep it off in Jail.
Where are our boosted liberties?
They've shriveled up and shrunk, and
our palladiums are cheese, and all our
bulwark's bunk" The precious boon
of getting full of alcohol or gin, until
a husky harness bull came up and ran
you in! 1t is a queer thing to lament,
and I, for one, don't know why any
sane, well-balanced gent should weep
for such a woe. The liberty that
makes men bores to neighbors and to
friends is better off kicked out of
doors-I'm glad such freedom ends.
The liberty" that starves the kids,
and mortgages the coop, and keeps
the girls from buying lids, is scarcely
worth a whoop.

war Prohibition. This is one OF the
interesting facts brought out in an

the four months show decrease of
over 1000 cases OF disorderly conduct,
the charge which covers number OF
violations OF the city ordinance. 1t
also shows a decrease OF nearly 200
cases OF non-support of wife and
child.
The following is a record OF arrests

on Nullificationists

Congressman Reuben Haskell, of
Brooklyn, has won the Republican
nomination for county Judge. He
has openly declared opposition to the
eighteenth amendment. When he in
jected this issue into the campaign the
Anti-Sa League got actively into
the fight in opposition to his candi-
dacy. The Anti-Saloon League is
making it plain that the issue is not
Prohibition. but is an issue to deter
mine whether law and order shall
triumph over lawlessness.
1t is certainly an evidence of undue
pro-liquor activity when a candidate
for county judge injects the issue of
support OF the Constitution of the
United States into his campaign.
Superintendent Anderson of the
AntiSaloon League challenged Con-
gresham Haskell TO debate on the
question involved, but Haskell re-
fused to accept the challenge. Now

ganization incorporated to uphold
American ideals and the United States

has renewed his offer to Mr.. Haskell

whether Haskell accepts the invita-
ton or not. -

campaign throughout Brooklyn, ap-
pcaling to the pastors for moral sup

Haskell is but Symptom" and his

Anderson has declared that the forces
of righteousness do not have to win
at this time, but that they do have
to fight. In other words, the success
OF Haskell at the polls will not mean
ultimate success for the notification
lists, that the fight will go on and on
until those who would nullify the
Constitution of the United States are
completely routed.

Laborers Welcome
Prohibition Now
As Providential
Campaign News

Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 23.-Labor
unions never have been friendly to
Prohibition, but to many of the lead
ers in the strike of steel workers and
their allied trades, the lack of drink
in the present emergency seems prov
idential.
The worst foes of strikers have
been hunger and violence" said M.
F. Tighe, president OF the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers. at is natural that men
with nothing to do should gather in
saloons. During strike they spend
their meagre cash. their families suf-
fer, and they are much more likely to
lose their tempers after they have
had whisky.
Prohibition has worked hardship
on workingmen in many respects, but
now most of them are we'll satisfied

again be permitted, the great major

Person." which was seen here for the first time yesterday at the Palace theater has given followers of this dainty star a new glimpse into her ability as a pOrtrayer of sympathetic emotions. Persons who have not for gotten that Mae Murray won her fame as a dancer on Broadway and later increased her success with Ziegfeld's Follies will be gratifed at her han- ding of the role of the tender-hearted little school teacher, Arathea Man ming, in her newest production.
 In the cast besides Miss Murray are Rudolpho de Valentina Clarissa Selwynne and Allan Scar and other well-known Universal players. The play was directed by Robert z. Leonard, who was also the guiding spirit in Miss Murray's previous sue cess, The Delicious Little Devil.'
 The story of '"The Big Little Person" was adapted from the book of that name by Rebecca Hooper Eastman and tells of the lonely struggle of a young woman whose lover deserts her at the shame of her affliction of deafness. She is alone in the sense that she has been cut off from the world of sound by deafness following an epidemic of scarlet fever that broke out among her little flock of school children.
 Other photoplays include the Mack Sonnet comedy, 'Foolish Age,' and Eddie Polo in a new "Cyclone Smith, story.
 The vaudeville bill is one of enter taining acts headed by Duchess and Merrill, the dogs with human brains. Other acts include Hyland, Grant and ,Hyland in singing, dancing and a jazz finish, and DobDs, Clark and Dare i'll a novelty offering. There will be con- tinuous shows Saturday. Frank Keenan and Charles Ray are the stars for Sunday night.

PLAYERS EAST WEEK

New Britain's most popular stock company is nearing the end of it's highly successful enga cement. But three more performances remain to be giVen-tOnight and tomorrow, afternoon and night These will be the last opportunities to enjoy the excellent acting provided by the Cormican Players in Arthur Good rlch's appealing drama of everyday life, Yes or No.' Another capacity house last night was held in rapt at tentiOn and gave vent to it's feelings in rounds of applause at the numer- ous interesting and exciting scenes with which the play abounds. Noth- ing more novel has ever been shown on the local stage than the two scenes with the lights shifting from one side of the stage to the other as the ia logue is taken up, first by the char acters depicting the upper classes, and the lower.
 MT. Cormican deserves, much credit for his judgment in selecting Yes or No' for his closing bill. This fact has been fully dem monstrated by the unusually large attendance at every performance throughout the week and the reservations for the remaln- ing three times. The manag agement desires to announce that there are still good seats to be had for tonight and tomorrow, but an early call is advisable in order to secure desira ble locations It is also suggested that patrons having seats held at the box office procure them at the earliest possible moment, thus avoiding the possibility of waiting in line at curtain time.

WAYS TO LOWER MEAT COSTS,

There IS considerable addition to the ranks of the vegetarians these days-nOt so much from conviction of sin in meat-eating, as for reasons of economy.
 Most wise families have reduced the meat allowance to three or four meat meals during the week.
 And if one goes even further and chooses the cheaper cuts of meat and the most economical ways of cooking those cuts the butchers bill will lose it's terrors.
 Here are three low-cost meat dishes.
 Stuffed Flank Steak.
 Purchase 1 Is pounds of fresh flank steak. Wipe the meat clean with a damp cloth, and lay the meat out flat. Moisten 1 1-2 cupfuls of breadcrumbs with hot skim milk, adding 1 teaspoonfu1 of salt and IA teaspoonful of pepper. Mix in one large onion chopped fine and a little chopped parsley. Spread the filling evenly over the steak about an inch thick, and roll up the meat with the grain. Turn in the ends of the steak and tie the roll with clean twine. Dice an onion, 1 1-2 cupfuls of car rot, dilu CuplulS oI tulIllpS. uI the vegetables in a baking dish or pan, the meat roll in the center, and cover the vegetables with water. Cov- CT the pan and bake in 8 slow oven until the meat is tender. Meat Balls and Rice.

 Agriculture.

All fruits can be canned success fully for future use for jelly making, pie filling, salad purposes, etc, with out the use of sugar by simply adding hot water instead of the hot syrups. It has been found practicable also with certain vegetables to substitute sugar for salt in the canning process, and then add other seasoning to taste when serving.
 In canning fruit without sugar, can the product the day it is picked Gull, stem, seed, and clean fruit by placing in strainer and pouring cold water over it.
