Before conaress 4o Wears.

Before Congress 40 years.
Bills providing for nationwide prohi-
bition by legislation and resolutions
proposing constitutional amendments
for the same purpose have been before
congress almost continually for more
than 40 years. Senator FL. w. 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
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" in the house December 10, 1913.
The amendment was amended many
times by Hobson himself, finally pro-
viding for a division Of responsibility
for the enforcement Of the law be-
tween state and federal governments.
This was done to secure the support
Of certain advocates of estate rights"
The resolution came to vote Decem-
Der %, 1914, but received only 1877
votes, while 258 were necessary for Its
adoption.
In 1914 Senator Works Of California
introduced bill providing for the pro-
hibition of spirituous liquors, including
wine and beer, but 1t received little
support from prohibition leaders and
did not come to vote.
May Go to Courts.
There is probability that antiprohi-
bition forces will attempt to secure an
annulment of the ratification vote in
several states and will 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. 1t 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
by the state legislatures may be sub.
mitted to the people under referen-
dunn.
The AnttSaloon league contends
that this Is impossible, outlining ita
position in the following statement:
article v Of the federal Constltu.
tion provides that the legislature OF
a state convention is the only body
which can ratify an amendment to the
1 Constitution. Congress is given the
power to say which one shall have the

MANY gain fame

Activities of Various Kinds Win
Wide Attention.
FRANCES E. WILLARD LEADER
Known All Over World as Head Of

Recalled.
FRANCES E. WILLARD LEADER

The final adoption of nationwide
prohibition calls to memory number
of men and women who have achieved
not only national but worldwide fame
through their connection with the pro-
hibition, or, as it once was known, the
temperance movement.
Some of these persons who have
been most prominent in the movement
were active so long ago that their
names mean little to those who have
not been closely connected with the
prohibition movement, but others are
well remembered by the present gen.
Grafton. Among those who have won
the widest fame at various times
through their activity in this work
may be mentioned Gen. Neal Dow,
who is credited with bringing prohi-
bition to Maine, the first state to be-
come dry John B. Cough, who be-
came world-famous temperance"
lecturer after having been a drink ad-
dict at twenty-five; Frances E. Will
lard, who personifies the w. G. 7. u,
and Carrie Nation, the eccentric So
loon smasher, who, died only short
time ago after tempestuous career.
Gen. Neal Dow.
Neal Dow was born in Portland,
Me-, of Quaker parentage. He was
twice. mayor Of Portland and men,
Der of the state legislature. He en-
tered the Civil war as colonel Of the
Thirteenth Maine volunteers. He was
wounded and was prisoner in Libby
prison and was made brigadier gen.
eral for gallant service. Yet the coun-
try knows Neal Dow simply as 'Fa'
Their of the Maine Law" and. as a tenn
perance reformer. Maine passed the
law of which he was the author in
1851 and was the first state to estab-
lish prohibition. General Dow trav-
eled widely in foreign countries work
ing for temperance, and on his nine
tieth birthday memorial meetings
were held in many parts of the world
lie Qle0 III 1896.
John B. Cough, who was the first
TEMPERANCE advocate to attract more
than local fame, was native of Eng
land, where he was born in 1917, but
he came to the United States when he
was twelve years old. He learned the
bookbinding trade, but early became
addicted to liquor and could not hold
position. He made such a living as
he could by singing in saloons. Later
he made new start and married, but
when he lost his wife and child he
again took to drink and sank to new
depths.
The turning-point in his life came
when he was induced by Massachu.
sets Quaker to sign total abstinence
pledge. He became temperance lee
turer, and after making many tours
in the United States he visited Eng
land, where he conducted two cam
paigns. His fame spread throughout
the English speaking nations and his
books have been translated into many
other languages.
Frances Wizards Fame Worldwide
Frances e. Wizards fame is world
wide. She was born in Churchville
N. Y, in 1889. A graduate of the
Northwestern Female college at Ev
anston, ILL.,, in 1859, she taught ant
travelled and from 1871 ito 1874 sht

woman's college, where she developed
the system of self-government that has
been widely copied.
In 1874 the National Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union was formed at
Cleveland, O., and Frances Willard
found her life work. She served for
five years as corresponding secretary
and then became president. In 1888
she founded the Worlds w. @. a. ",
which grew to have branches In 30
countries, and in 1888 she became Its
president. She wrote many temper
ance pamphlets and was the author Of
four books. In the miffls Of women

6ggol In hah cup OF hot water and ~
Ing as head-wash, a remarkable
difference Is quickly noticed. Tho
cleanliness Of the hair and scalp
will be astonishing. and instead Of
the usual appearance of hair az you
are accustomed to seeing 1t after 1t
Is washed, It will! have very pro-
nounced new sheen of the brilliancs
Of the purest silk. This Is hair az
1t should be.
People admire and comment on
hair like this. because it is unusual
It means the hair and scalp are abb
solutely clean-that all greasy ao-
cumulations, hlmy dirt and skin
scales are gone. The shampoo works
rapidly-a thorough cleansing takes
but q minute or two. 1t is cooling
and refreshing and Is the ideal
hsadwash- The extreme cleanliness
gives the hair renewed life and
yigor. 1t is the first step to a luxu-
RANT growth Of hair. II leaves tho
hair easy to DO up after washing.
Any drug store will supply you with
enough eggol for twenty-five cents
to last for twelve or moro OF these
unusual shampoos.
