THE LIQUOR SITUATION.

1t is said that "near-beer" manu-
facturers have come out with a state
ment that their product is not made
from malt and does not contain aIco-
hol. 1t is apparent that the imagin-
alton of the buyer is worked consid-
erably to induce him to think he is
drinking something like the beer of
the old days. He pays Is cents a pint
for the privilege. In any event this
makes an important change in dry
district rulings that "near-beer" can
not be sold.
The federal law on constitutional
prohibition has been practically
agreed upon by conferees of the two
houses of congress. No limit is plac-
en- upon the quantity of liquor man
may have in his house, and liquors
may be served to bona-fide guests.
Liquors may be made containing any
amount of alcohol but they must be
reduced to " of one per cent alco-
holic content before being released
for consumption. The right of search
and seizure in private dwellings is de-
MED.
The Ohio supreme court has ruled
that the prohibition amendment is
MI A1CAAlOU OO ldA as OulO Is COuC0Tu-
ed until the people shall have accept
ed it by referendum. Should other
states get similar decisions and the
U. S. Supreme court take the same
view prohibition enforcement will be
postponed indefinitely.
The penalty for manufacture or
sale of intoxicating liquors is fixed at
fine of not more than $1,000 or i'm
prisOnment for not more than six
months for the first offense; for a
second offense the fine is fixed at not
less than 5000 nor more than $4,000
and imprisonment not less than one
month nor more than five years.
The provision in the bill as it pass
ed the Senate permitting the manu-
facture of cider and non-intoxicat-
ing fruit juices was modified by the
conferees to read as follows:
The penalties provided in this act
against the manufacture of liquor
without permit shall not apply to a
person manufacturing non-intoxicat-
ing cider and fruit juices exclusively
for use in his home, but such cider
may be sold and delivered to persons
having permits to manufacture vine
gar"

The Holstein-Friesian World car
ries story of a gigantic fraud in COW
testing. 1t is stated that Chas. E.
Cole, tester for Oliver Cabane, Elma,
N. Y, confessed that many of his
tests were fraudulent Recently Ca
bane sold his herd for an average of
$9,337. 1t is alleged that some of the
cows were helped" in making rec
ords. Another report is that Cole
denies the story and says the confess
sion was obtained by fraud.
Omaha has quieted down after sew

ed by the mob. The city is under mar

Uncle Sans booze laws can now
have sweet cider the year round, with
no danger of fermentation, under a
process evolved by chemists of the
department of agriculture. They
freeze the fresh apple juice, grind the
frozen product, and by centrifugal
force separate the cider solids from
the water. In this way five gallons
of sweet cider may be reduced to one
gallon of cider concentrate, which will
keep sweet much longer than ordin-
airy cider, and, may be restored to
its original bulk by adding water.

The Next Flu Epidemic.
H.E.DtARno1I n,DIeruua


From a Reader: "They say we're
Yes, and l understand that they ex-
pect 1t to be harder than the other
epidemic =
The above is part of a conversati IN
overheard the other day The latter
statement, which | believe to be great
ly exaggerated, struck me rather
forcibly, but | couldn't help thinking
that even if it were generally true
and it every citizen of the state would
cooperate intellectually with the
health departments, the next epidem-
ic if there is to be next one)
wouldn't be harder than the other
epidemics.
1t is true that a proper way to
meet the first influenza epidemic was
difficult task. 1t came with cyclon-
ic suddenness. A large proportion of
our doctors and nurses were in the
army. But since then doctors and
other public health workers have de-
ylsed a program to meet such epidem-
les. They have given us certain dos
and dOn'ts." The chief difficulty in
following them seems to lie in their
being to easy and simple
Let's prove to the nation that we
are made of the right kind of mater
lal! Let's make our respective COM
munities regular anti-sickness cen
tiers! We can do it, so let's start this
tug-of-war right away. Don't have it
said that you, are letting your end of
the rope slacken by ignoring the So
called common cold, because this is
the very foundation of influenza and
many other contagious diseases.
Don't cough or sneeze into the OPP
en- air and do stop others doing So
And If another epidemic does come,
det's organize in the way the last ep-
ldemic has taught us, with everyone
a star PLAYER in the team.

HABIT GOT HIM.

Few men but what have habits,
some bad and some worse, but there is
a lot of difference between having a
habit and habit having you. The
writer saw some young men stand at
a saloon bar and gulp down whisky
by the glassful and we thought how
well it was that whisky prohibition
was coming to pass soon. Else these
young men would have drifted into
the pitiful living death of the whisky
fiend. Habit would get them.
We know a young man who was a
slave to the tobacco habit. At an early
age this boy began smoking. In a
year or two he was consuming pill
after pill. He had a good father and
mother who talked to him and en-
deavOred in every way to restrain him
but of no avail-habit had him. One
day this young man applied for a POI
SitlOn that had sure future before
it. He secured it. But it wasn't
Ing before his boss found that he
thought more of the cigarets than he
did of his job. The boy kept his Gig
aretS, but lost his job.
The question for every man who
has a habit (and few have not) to
consider is, are you living, walking to
satisfy your habit? Does your body
exist as a mere vehicle to respond to
a nerve sensation from potent drug?
II tobacco, booze, drugs or unmention-
able things have you in their grip
are you living to satisfy them? Is
this your purpose in life? If so your
habit will surely destroy you. 1t will
sap your energy and ambition and
make you its slave.
Or are you free man? Do you
have the old -fashioned idea that your
body is a temple whose inner light is
God? Do you prefer physical, moral
and mentaIhealth with assured bust
ness and personal success to slavery?
We must all answer this question
we must master our habits or our
habits will master us.

PICKING UP THE HOT END.

LabOr's demand for share in the
management of the larger enterpris-
es will probably be agreed to as it
seems thOrOly reasonable. AS a move
ment away from the old industrial
anarchy toward democracy, is should
be welcomed by all friends of order
and peace. No doubt it will be.
Those who oppose it will be those
who do not know much about either
labor or business conditions. A man
who supposes that the path of big
business is just one long, pleasant
walk thru rose-garden will, if he is
wealth worshiper, be opposed to
any change. Many people in moder-
ate circumstances believe just that
They are depressed also by the belief
that when the laboring masses get a
hand in the management they will be
vastly beneftted-and so rise above
their proper station in life.
Let no one be alarmed. Business
will not be very sorry to shoulder off
part of its responsibility. The hot end
of the poker is the one labor is try
ing 20 grab. A share in directing the
great corporations will entail efficien-
cv. Labor will have to reform many
of its ideas and practices. This will
be good thing but not quite pleas
ant for those who will have to un-
dergo it.
Capital and labor will be compelled
by the very nature of things, to work
together. They surely will until cap
ital is abolished, which will not be
soon in the United States.
A little of the real thing in the de-
mocracy we hear so much about won't
hurt us.-Dodgeville Sun.
