Our subject tonight is Temperance
and Law Enforcement" and of course
It is evident to every one that the on
ject Of those who framed the pro-
gram was aud is to emphasize not the
necessity of temperance, but the neces-
sity Of enforcing the law to promote
ternpera nce~-the necessity of euforc-
ing the law against the manufacture,
sale or exchange IF Intoxicating
liquors except for mechanical. medi-
einal and scientific purposes.
The first question one is disposed
To ask when he begins to consider the
subject We are now discussing is this,
why should we be concerned about
tina enforcement of the law VS., alco-
holic stimulants? Did not Virginia go
dry four years ago by majority OF
30 900 votes. and did not the legislature
of Virginia create the office of COM
missioner Of prohibition. whose main
duty 1t is to enforce the law? Fur
thermore has not the entire nation by
an overwhelming expression of opinion
also gone dry? Has not the federal
make prohibition part Of our national
life. and will not the federal govern
nlent also enforce the law?
And so, since both state and nation
have gone dry and overwhelmingly so,
even the friends of temperance and of
total abstinence have asked the aues-
ton why need we be concerned about
the enforcement of the law-the tmpli-
cation being that the law is in no
danger, that it's enforcement will be
easy enough since both state and ma
tion have gone dry by preponderating
vote.
Thought Question Settled.
Four years ago when the state went
f~o C
vast number Of hitherto anxious
hearts. Now they said. the liquor
question in Virginia Is settled for
ever because~it has been settled right.
Now 1t is dead and buried by an
avalanche of votes beyond any posi-
bility of a resurrection now no more
state conventions or executive COM
mittee meetings of the Anti-Saloon
league, no more appeals for money to
pay the expenses of the league-ths
battle is fought. tho victory is won and
40 many of us turned away with a
sense Of profound relief and graft
tude--yes, turned away, leaving the
commissioner of prohibition with the
bag to hold, leaving him and his as
sistants to enforce the law without
almost any expression of confidence
and OF moral support leaving them to
become the targets of ridicule and
abuse, leaving them to become the OBJ
jects OF a merciless and relentless
propaganda of inunendo. falsehood
and hate.
Because both state and nation had
gone dry overwhelmingly. we con-
cluded that the commissioner of pro-
h!bition would have easy sailing, but
on the other hand he has had rough
sailing, due to an unchartered sea.

Now that the revival sea- son is over, it is time that we buckle in and work out the unfinished projects, mill, store. and cannery. Now is the time to get behind the directors of the H.T.Co. and help, Some persons stand around the stove in the store and knock the directors. Why don't you get up in the Community Gen. ter meetings and give your criticism. Too often we are lGathe to criticiSe without of ferlng a workable idea The directors are the agents, the representatives of the Go.

 Being a stockholder, it was as much his duty to pick up the lnmber. If it were not his duty, it were at least to his interest. Too many remarks are dropped to harass the presidentwo his devoting him self unselfishly to the interest and growth of the Co. It is high time to survey ourselves whether we are a help or a hindrance in the great con- structive program before us.

HAPPINESSOE
 MANAND WOMAN
 ARE DESCRIBED


 Professor Says That Prime Purpose Is the Rearing Ro-
 bust Children-Causes
 For DivOrceS
 Happiness of man and woman is only of secondary affair in marriage, the prime purpose of which is to pro- duce robust children, Professor Will jam J. Durant, of Columbia Univer- sity said in a lecture at the Sinia So- cial Center here. Where there are no children there is no marriage" he added.
 Free love is impossible, the profes- sor said, because conquests of man are praised by other men, but if a woman had had one free love affair she is held in ridicnle and belittled by her associates"
 Most men who marry alter tnek have become incapable of love" the professor continued, and then comes your divorce.
 Courts say that divorces are due to cruelty, drunkness and half Ia doz- en other things, but they are all wrong. The three fundamental req sons for divorce are:
 "1. The natural vanity of both sexes.
 2. Psychological incompetibility.
 B. Lack of children"

PREPARATION FOR FEEDING.

The preparation Of Items Graham
Crackers for feeding children de-
ponds upon so many factors
principally the age and the condi-
ton of the child's digestive appar-
atus-that. no hard and fast rules
can be laid down. Until the child
has sufficient teeth to break up the
crackers into small bits, they should
be served soft. The softening is
done by moistening the crackers in
whatever liquid is agreeable to the
baby's stomach-such as milk or
water. Oftentimes a thin cruel is
made of crumbled Graham Crack
ers and milk, boiled to the proper
consistency.
Those who are experienced in
baby feeding can easily work out
the proper combinations, but in the
case of a sickly child it is always
best to have the doctors advice on
feeding.

Miss Troy Bitterly Attacks
Officials of Scotland Yard

Halifax, April 19.-Miss Lillian
Scott Troy, of San Francisco, re-
Gently deported from England, ar
rived last night on the steamer Car
mania, on her way to New York.
Miss Troy, whose alleged friend
ship for Baron Lewis Won Horst,
formerly of San Francisco and in
termed by the British government in
August, 1914, is understood to have
been one of the causes for her de-
portation, was bitter in her denunci-
alton of British officials. She de-
clared that she had been prosecuted
by the English police.
She said she was convinced that
the authorities first turned their at
tention to her because in 1912, while
dock strike was in progress in
London, she fed thousand strikers
children weekly at her own expense
in a plant which she owned in the
east end. She was made an honor
airy member of the lockers union.
Apartments Ransacked.
In 1914, Miss Troy said, she dis
covered that she was being followed
by detectives. She complained at
Scotland yard and said she was lock-
ed in room with a detective for

question her. She asserted that on
returning to her apartments she
found they had been thoroughly ran
sacked by detectives who, she added.
found nothing.
"This treatment" she exclaimed,
twas due to a horrible attempted
blackmail scheme aimed at Lady
Hiram Maxim, myself and a we'll
known prisoner of war. They got
nothing out of US, but was foolish
and went crying about the thing"
She did not disclose the name Of

Taking Care Of the Baby
'Dont's for Mothers.

Don't overdress the baby, and in
summer avoid wool near skin.
Don't pick up very young babies
without supporting the back.
Don't neglect to battle the baby
daily. In summer frequent wet dips
help.
Don't fail to clean all folds of skin
and powder we'll. Don't let a wet
bib or wet cap string chafe baby's
neck.
Don't keep baby in the house;
fresh air is necessary for growth.
Don't permit flies to bother baby
when sleeping; use net.
Don't fail to screen in the win
dows, particularly in the nursery,
against flies and insects.
Don't forget that babies nursed by
their mothers milk and given plenty
of fresh air have three times the ad-
vantage over others in escaping d.
arrhoea, pneumonia and children's
infections.
Don't expect a quiet, composed,
healthy baby unless you do your part
thoroughly and constantly.
Don't forget that a mother who
thinks her milk is not right or suffi-
cient for her baby may secure medi-
cal advice on how to improve it in
both quality and quantity-she
should consult her private physician
or go to the Department OF Health.
Omaha daily bee., 1919-04-20

The Board of Health has pre-
pared the following hints for
mothers:
Don't kiss the baby on the mouth
or allow your friends to do so.
Don't give soothing syrups to the
cross baby.
Don't give patent" cough mix
lures for cough.
Don't fail to secure the best milk
you can afford to buy.
Don't allow flies to rest on baby's
bottle or nipple.
Don't fail to wash bottle~and nip
pie before feeding the baby.
Don't fail, after feeding baby, to
wash bottle and nipple. Don't let
the bottle stand about, off the ice.
Don't fail to keep the baby's food
when prepared, on the ice.
Don't fail to feed baby at regular
periods, day and night.
Don't let the baby use "pacifier.'
Constant sucking Of dummy teat
causes deformities and interferes
with baby's growth.
Don't neglect the daily care Of
baby's mouth-wash out with boric
acid after each feeding.
Don't excite the baby-especially
before sleeping time or after eating.
Don't rock the baby to sleep.
Don't let the baby sleep in the
sun with light shining into its eyes.

AUTHORITIES AGREE.

nv AxSNA AIS TAAANAHs
Every authority on child feeding
says provide plenty of cereal foods.
A government bulletin says of
them: when eaten, as is usually
the case, with milk or cream, they
are an important addition to the
diet. The ill effects sometimes
noted may usually be avoided if ex-
cessive amounts Of sugar are not
added"
We have known Of few cases, in
deed, where children did not find
Items Graham Crackers wholly
agreeable and in such cases, the
trouble is nearly always caused
as the government bulletin states
by an excessive amount Of sugar
added by mother or nurse.
Items Graham Crackers are
slightly sweetened by both granulat-
ed sugar and sugar cane molasses,
but there is no added flavoring.
The fine, nut-like flavor of the
wheat would be minimized by the
addition Of flavoring matter, so we
use none in Items Graham Crack
ers. These splendid biscuits are as
"near to nature" as we can make
them.

at was some task, but by applying
American methods we accomplished
what we started to do.
1.-THE idea seems to1have been that
We were running the railroads Of
France, and ia a measure we were,
for we were responsible for the
transportation of everything from
tie coast and interior to the front.
1--WE had 4 large quantity Of our
own equipment, and thus, with our
own men, we got along fine and
made 4 good showing.
S"Of course the roads of France
are badly run down and the equip
nient is pretty we'll worn out, due
to the fact that during the progress
Of the war it was difficult to obtain
men to do the work.
1.-THE German equipment, consist
ing of 5000 locomotives and 10000
freight cars, turned over to the
French government and-at once put

so that now the roads are back in
fairly good condition"
