it will be worth while to glance at it's history and, as we come nearer our own time to notice the gathering strength Of the prohibition movement and it's most notable manifestations.
 First of all, what is alcohol? It is 3 coloriess liquid that can be manufac- tnved by tsrmerlation and distfllatiou from practically any starchy or sugar cc,utaiUtnz material. Although the Is3Eainia materials arc practically IaIuAeEiess, ohly few are of great importance to the liquor traffic of to- dSy. These are cereals and potatoes among the starchy plants. and grapes, sugsr-cano and cane molasses among those rich ina siIgGr.
 When was alcohol first used as drink? That Is one Of the questions that can never be answered. The pie ture reproduced above is one Of ths earliest that we possess of drinking

EXPECT JUDGE CURTIS ID BE
 NEW REFEREE

Judge John w. Banks who has re- signed the position as referee in Bank ruptcy in order that he may assume the duties as a judge of the Superior Court to which he has been selected says that there is no requirement that his successor as referee should have been admitted to the bar for any definite length of time. The only re- quirement is that the incumbent of the office of referee be a lawyer in good standing.
 The friends of Judge Howard w. Curtis of Stratford are certain that he will be appointed to the position by U. s. District Judge Edwin s. Thomas during the present week.
 Judge Banks resignation does not go into effect until December but he has requested that his successor take office on October l so that he can take charge of all bankruptcy matters that come after that date and this will give Juicge Banks time to clean up all old matters on the docket.

HARTFORD WANTS PROSECUTION OF
 ICE TRUST MEN Committee Reports Alleged Violations of State and
 Federal Laws. CITY URGED TO
 ENTER BUSINESS Want Water Board to Sup ply Natural Ice Through
 Reputable Dealer.

Hartford, July Is Summary of the committee appointed in this city to investigate the so-called ice com bine is given below:
 Operations of the ice trust indicate a clear violation of the state, if not the federal laws. Many dealers have been driven out of business by un- fair competition. Business of a Hartford company, the only guaran- tee of cheap ice, was turned over to competitors with the understanding that nearly half the ice used in Hart ford be bought of the Berkshire Ice Company. and prices were imme di- ately advanced and have continued to advance.
 Temporary ice stations have been under the cash and carry plan for 30 cents a hundred less than the regu- lar delivery price. This arrange ment satisfies but a small part of the city's population, however.
 It is suggested that the city engage in the ice business through the board of water commissioners, supplying natural ice in an arrangement with a reputable dealer. the city to build ice houses near the reservoirs and charge fair rentals for their use.
 It is also recommended that ice be sold by weight instead of by the piece, to protect the public against overcharge.
 Investigations in this and other cities included the methods of the conduct of business by the ice deal CTS, and proved that Hartford is at the mercy of a few men who are in turn directed by the will Of Harry w Walker of Bridgeport, and com petition is thrott1ed as a result.
 Re-routins, which secured a de- crease of 20 cents a hundred in the retail price in Bridgeport, could not be secured because the dealers in Hartford claimed 1t violated the law. Violations of the law which tend to increase rather than decrease prices, however, are readily made.
 Hartford dealers made no sincere effort to provide for the requirements of this city last winter. but instead shipped large quantities of ice to other sections at great profit, taking advantage of the ice shortage in other sections for their own enrich city.
 Positive information as to the ex- istence of an ice trust has been se- cured and 1t is recommended that 1mnediate steps be taken to bring the heads of the various ice compan- les and their agents who have vio- lated tho laws to justice through vigorous prosecution

Tn a good many ways the approach of the day when prohibition is to be enforced throughout the United States is one of the epochal events of history.

Starches and Acids

(By DR.. Lorne A. Summers. Direc-
tor of Gymnasium, Armour and
Company
Many people who have been trou-
bled with the formation of gas in
the stomach and intestines have
found immediate relief when they
avoided combining starchy foods
with acid foods.
The reason why this combination
causes gas is that the acid causes
the starch to ferment. The same
thing occurs when sugar and starch
are mixed. Cane sugar, mixed with
cereals, causes many people to have
a sour stomach for the rest of the
day; not only this-the gas distend>
the stomach, which exerts a pres
sure upon the surrounding organs,
causing palpitatipn of the heart. cold
hands. cold feet. headache. dizziness
and extreme nausea.
When acid fruits are eaten, it is
best to combine them with other
fruits; that is. in the morning for
breakfast. if acid fruits are to be
eaten, dc not eat starches, but make
the breakfast consist of fruit only.
However, if starches are desired, a
non-acid or sub-acid can be added.
Starchy Foods.
