bition orators from Neal Dow TO Bryan.
We were discovering that il did not pay
TO become fuddcd with drink. Competi-
tiou was SO fierce that man who wished
TO get on needed to have all his senses
about him, and he deliberately cut out
drink. Employers who had TO conduct
their business with the greatest possible
efficiency refused to hire habitual drink
ers. A man could not get a job or IL he
got it lie could not hold it, if he went TO
work the worse for liquor,
The abuses of drink were curing them
selves and the nation was convinced that
drink could be abolished with profit to
every one concerned. When it reached
this stage the passage of the prohibitory
constitutional amendment was compare
lively easy.
All this means nothing more than that
great reforms are made slowly as fruit
ripens OF Il tree One may fret or fume
about the greenuess Of apples in The
orchard in June. Ono may engage in an
active propaganda in favor of ripe appcs
all summer. In the autumn one may
point TO the trees laden with fruit ready
to be picked as evidence Of the success Of
the propaganda. But AS u matter Of fact
the fruit would have ripcned anyway in
due season.
Z The world is moving rorW ard toward Il
goal the exact nature Of which no one
knows, guided by forces the workings Of
which are little comprehended. Yet
there are men who buzz about like fly
on the driving wheel Of locomotive and
think that they arc the power which
moves the machine.
If the world is ready for the league oI
uations provided for iu the peace treat!
thu league will .uccced. II it is NOT
recdy for it not all the deuunciution Of
the senators opposing it nor all the
praise of the lnen who drafted the cove
nant will make it succeed. for propa-
ganda cannot ripen an apple before ite
time.
So why get excited if The plans Of
Providence apparently fail to synchro-
nile with our own?

COUTHERN towns are increasing their

them now are more active than they have
ever been and they are crying out for in

Even unselfisn propaganda does not ac-
complish very much. One has only to
take a casual glance over the course of
history to reach this conclusion,
Martin Luther may be said to have
prouagandized the Protestant Reforma-
tion. but Luther could have done nothing
If Europe had not been ready for what
happened. The time was ripe and Luther
did little more than reach out his hand
10 pick the fruit which had been mellow
;ng for generations. He did not hasten
ths movement. He merely led it.
Garrison and Phillips thought they did
,orch toward the abolition of slavery,
hut slavery was doomed as soon as the
Missouri compromise was adopted, early
in the nineteenth century. 1t took about
forty years for the issue to become acute
enough TO provoke the war WHICH
brought slavery to all end. And it would
have been abolished anyway whether the
Garrisons and Phillipses had talked or
not. 1t was an institution which could
moi exist in free country.
The same truth applies to the prohibi-
tiou issue. The temperance advocates
have been active but industrial condi-
tions have been more effective in abolish
ing the liquor traffic than, all the prohi-

HOUSES AND HOMES

America needs homes. In 1890 4S per cent of our people were home owners in 1910 this per cent dropped to 45, and today it is estimated to be only 42 Home-owning going down to what? To tenantry, absentee-land- Iordism, to slums, that disease of so- ciety which has been raging at the heart of the major European nations since Watts with his steam engine made it possible to centralize indus try?
 The stoppage of building during the war has left us a million homes short. That which has long been an indus trial handicap has now become a na- tiOnal menace. The need of houses to stabilize the labor market may be- come a demand for homes to save a nation. Thus it happens that the most important thing to be said about in dustrial housing at the present time is to watch for a new point of view in approachin git. A new vision is needed.

MAKE YOUR TEETH SAVE MONEY

Your teeth probably have cost yo, lot of money. Nearly every adul has gold, silver or other precious metal slowed away in his teeth. Many have had to buy their teeth outright
 Your teeth represent an invesement thOusandfold more valueble than the amount of the dentist bill. They are your investment in health.
 But what is perhaps more timely big factors in cutting the cost of liv ing.
 Read what Fletcher says about chewing food. Learn what Dr. Wiley has written about obtaining the maxi mum of nourishment from a given article of diet.
 You will find that you would be able to get along on about half as much food as you use every day if you would chew it slowly and thoroughly.
 The human body runs on it's food just as the engine runs on coal or gasoline If you shove coal full of clinkers into the engine you will not get results The clinkers would not burn and produce heat.
 Putting unchewed material into the human stomach is feeding it food clinkers.
 In order to be absorbed, food must be in solution-broken into tiny bits and suspended in digestive juices.
 You protest vociferously when you pay a dollar for steak that you think ought to cost fifty cents. You are get ting only half the value of your money But you will get nearer dollars worth of nOurishment out of it if you will only put your teeth to work.
 We do everything fast. We rant if the train is late. We rush to work and rush through our tasks, rush home and eat hurriedly, rush to the theater rush back to bed and wind the alarm clock so as not to be late for the morning rush next day.
 We have the national rush habit and nowhere will it do us more harm than bolting what we eat.
 Aside from the physical harm oc, casioned by gobbling our lunches on the run. we cheat ourselves out of hard-earned money.
 A dollars worth of food, thoroughly digested and absorbed by the tissues will give more strength at less tax on the body than two dollars worth improperly masticated.
 Put your teeth to work.

the presont-day populace.
Some Of Athena's shade trees
broke down under the weight Of ice,
and many others lost their limbs in
countless numbers. The scene was
not unlike war pictures Of Argonne
wood after fierce artillery practice
during the late unpleasantneSs. A
big tree fell in E. c. Rogers yard on
jefferson street, Athena, and narrow
ly missed corner Of his residence.
1t was noted that shade trees that
had been topped suffered the worst,
others being scarcely damaged.
Five telephone poles went down at
Weston and no less than % lines
were put out Of action. An ancient
box-elder tree in the yard Of James

mans body. fell, split through the
heart. The tremendous crash accom-
panying its destruction was distinct

Normal Heights. Thoroughfares
were blocked by fallen branches of
trees, and Marshal Avery had to get
exceedingly busy with an axe in or

Walla Walla's experience with the
silver thaw was similar on a larger
scale to that Of Athena and Weston.

found itself in the traditional posi-
