News From Private Adams.

Private Jules l.. Adams, who was
seriously wounded in France, has
reached his home in York; Pa.
Private Adams is better known here
by the name of Dutch. He was
employed for some time here in the
barber shop of Samuel t. Little.
After recovering somewhat from
his wounds Dutch wrote Mr. Little
from the hospital in France, since
which time nothing had been heard
from him. Mr.. Little wrote to York,
Pa, making inquiry and received
the following reply from Dutch's
father:
Jules left France fer home on
Thanksgiving Day. He was 10 days
on the water, landing at Newport
News, Va. They were caught in
heavy storms at sea, delaying the
voyage. Jules spent Christmas at
home with us. He looks well for all
he has gone through, and can walk
without crutches or cane. He has a
silver knee-cap on his left knee,
which was all but shot off. He can
bend the knee as the silver cap is
jointed, and the leg is not stiff. His
right leg, in which he was shot five
times from the hip to the ankle, is
somewhat stiff, but he can get along
fairly we'll. He is jolly with it all.
He has been sent to- Pittsburg, Pa,
for an operation on the right leg,
which has not healed altogether.
Yours truly,
THOS. J. ADAMS.

WHY RATlfY THE \
PROHIBITION AMENDMENTS
A National Evil Requires a National
Remedy.

A National Evil Requires a National
Remedy.
Quite lot Of people who know
drinking is bad habit and that the
licensed saloon is really an evil think
that it is community matter to be
settled by local option. The Congress
of the United States does not think so.
This body has put it squarely up to
the legislatures Of the various states
to ratify or turn down an Appointment
Ito the Constitution, prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intoxicants
for beverage purposes.
In view Of the fact it is interesting
to see why such action is logical.
First-The liquor interests are or
ranized nationally and the only thing
that can effectively put them out of
business is national prohibition. Ma
|tional organization must be met by
national measures.
Second--It is the only way to close
the entire 100000 places now open for
the sale of intoxicants and thus pro-
tect our people from their pernicious
results. Can Philadelphia be sober
with the open saloon in Camden, or
vice versa?
National enactment would
lift. the economic and social burden
of caring for an army of detectives,
drunkards, paupers and criminals
which the licensed saloon always car
|rics in its wake.
Fourth-National amendment is the
only way to secure the absolute en-
forcement of prohibitory laws in city,
county or state Under our present
system. wet states supply dry terri
tory with liquor and thus defeat the
wishes and votes of the inhabitants.
Fifth-The equalization of taxation
among the states and the people de-
Imands that the entire country be sub
| ject to the same law. Excise taxes are
Important items and they are paid
lnow by the wet states which form less
than half the Union. The only way
to readjust the tax burden is for all
| the states to be dry.
Sixth-Nationa Prohibition will re-
move from our national politics the
Ievil influences which for years the
liquor traffic has exerted. and it will
be possible to choose public officials
land settle questions Of public inter.
est on their own merits.

ed accidents decreased
Governor Hanna, North Dakota
Both from moral and financial stand
point prohibition has been success

Governor Kerr, North Carolina
'Twenty-one per cent more children
attending school; bank deposits In
creased 100 per cent; building and
loan association stock increased $50
ger cent; benefits great and continu-
ally increasing"
Governor Hunt, Arizona-"Marked
decrease in commitments to prison and
insane. hospital I; needy families percep-
.ibly decreased; no adverse effect upon
legitimate business"
Governor capper, Kansas
per capita greater than any other
state; death rate lowest per capita;
bank deposits largest of any state;
fewest tenants, most home-owners of
any state; no open bar-rooms and auto

WEATHER STRIPPING
WILL SAVE YOU COAL

Following are few suggestions by
the United States Fuel Administration
on weather stripping" of houses. to
save coal:
It is best to put weather stripping on
all doors and windows because, there
is heat loss through every one, no
matter how tight they might be. By
all means strip those which are loose.
or which have large crevices.
All doors and windows which have
a northern exposure should be care
fully stripped. Windows thus exposed
would be much better protected If dou-
Bile windows are provided, because
there is certain amount of heat loss
through the. glass.

Chamberlain's Tablets.

When you are troubled with indi-
gestion or constipation, take Cham
berlain's Tablets. They strengthen
the stomach and enable it to per-
form its functions naturally. Indi-
gestion is usually accompanied by
constipation and is aggravated by it.
Chamberiain's Tablets cause a gentle
movement of the bowels, relieving
the constipated condition.

Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
