A RUDE AWAKENING

when cocktails and flips were abolished
When brandy went under the ban
when demijohned booze was demolished
And whisky consigned TO the can,
Although We were fond OF the latter
When served in the form OF ball
We cried in our pride, at don't matter,
We never shall miss It at ALL
We learned TO take drinks At the fountain
From dye stufs and marble dust bGewed
"A man can hoist any amount in
And never get barmy or stewed)
We learned TO rejoice that temptation
No longer pursued human kind
or threatened the men OF the nation
(We had certain parties in mind
But now, on the eve of Thanksgiving
When we, with hungering sigh
In spite Of the high cost OF living
Remarked how We yearned for mince PIE
our Missis, who CHANGED to be handy,
Observed, with the trace Of a sneer;--
You know can't get any brandy
To make my mince pies with this year
We have never been one with the force,
That labor with sinister real
Employing their baleful resources
To urging the dry-lsw's repeal
But now we are bitterly anti
Whatever would make the land dry;
We can't get along in our shlnty
Without our Thanksgiving mincs pie

with tho situation. 1t would not only relieve
the pressure at the seaboard. but 1t would
tighten the burden on the overtaxed east and
west railroads. Furthermore it would stimu-
late interest in water traffic and help restore
TO the. country transportation asset that has
been almost entirely neglected for years.
The physical limits of New York as sea-
port, with the present system and facilities for
handling goods, have been about reached. A
heavy investment in railroads, bridges, tubes
and terminals will be necessary before any
considerable expansion in the volume Of bust
ness is possible. Even with such improve
ments the harbor has its limits.
1t is not good policy for a nation to con-
duct such an overwhelming portion of its for
eign commerce through one port. The posi-
bilities OF tieup because Of war. strikes, Or
great disasters are too serious. Other coast
cities ought to get more OF the business and
10 city is better situated to take care of a
considerable portion Of it than New Orleans.

The Case of the Fifth Wisconsin
District,

No reason whatever exists why the Fifth
Wisconsin congressional district may not de-
prive itself Of representation in the national
assembly if it chooses. 1t doesn't impair the
efficiency Of the federal government by so do
ing and therefore it's nobody else's business
whether 1t elects a man who is eligible to a
seat or not. II any hardship is entailed it
will fall upon the Fifth district and the Fifth
Is entitled to all the hardships it wishes to
assume
OF course Victor Berger will esteem it a
great. personal triumph to be reelected after
having been denied a seat in congress for OBJ
yiously trying to obstruct the war efforts OF
sthe country that ought to be his, but which he
apparently does not wish to, and certainly is
not entitled to claim. The example, Of course,
Is not an elevating one to the balance Of the
country. but there isn't much chance that any
other district will be led thereby from the
straight and narrow.
The time OF the present congress is exceed
ingly valuable. If rightly employed. Rightly
employing it does not mean devoting 1t I'M
necessarily to the case of Victor Berger 1t
has the evidence and the precedent on file.
About two minutes ought to be enough for
him. Later, with more practice, it should do
even better than that.

Tri-City Cooperation.

Oyertures of the Tri-City Federation of
Labor for Joint board, or commission to ad-
just local industrial problems should be well
coined by every organization to which they
are addressed. They constitute one Of the
most hopeful signs CT the times for this COM
Munity.
These four-yes, fve-cties have interests
in common for the furtherance OF which no
agency now exists. The organization which
the Federation suggests probably would even
tually broaden its scope to include all, or most
OF them. We have not only common Industrial
interests, but mutual problems in transporta-
tion by land and water, in government, civic
Improvement, in education and even in enter
tainment. All. working together. can accom-
plish great deal more than each working
separately and often at cross purposes Some
unifying body such as is now suggested is of
the utmost Importance,
Just recently the need for a common under
standing in connection with fuel conservation
furnished a case in point. Illinois had adopted
one set of rules and Iowa another, but the
common interests Of these five cities were
stronger than their individual bonds with their
respective states. This was SO obvious to state
authorities that the latter did not question It
but conceded local jurisdiction to the commit
tee that the business and commercial bodies Of
the municipalities appointed for that purpose
Such instances. not SO apparent to everybody
perhaps, but Of great importance, have arisen
from time to time and will become more com.
mon as local interests are more closely merged
An increasing number OF them will be of gen
eral concern, calling for diverse representa-
ton in their settlement. With such cases the
body that it is proposed to form would be well
qualified to deal.
Push the Tri-City Federation's proposal
along. This community cannot. overdo the
business OF mutual cooperation.

The Fare Question at Muscatine.

Muscatine votes Monday on 7-cent carfare.
1t has had plenty Of time to make up its mind.
1t has been wrestling with the traction ques-
ton for year or SO, during which period the
company has been trying to apply retrench-
ment measures and the employees have been
contending for higher wages
For several weeks last summer the city was
without service, the result of three-cornered
deadlock by the company, city and employees,
and the patrons know what 1t means to have to
walk.
Muscatine people have the advantage, fur
ther, of the experience of other cities which
have lately fought the carfare question out to
a finish. The most conspicuous example was
that at Toledo, Ohio, where the people voted
to Gust the street car company rather than pay
47-cent fares. Later, after nearly a month CT
walking and titney bussing, the latter at a
dime or more bus, they suffered the city
council to repeal the popular verdict and paid
their cents quite cheerfully. In Burlington,
Iowa, the people turned down 7-cent fares at
one election, but after a weeks experience
without trolleys took second plebiscite, as
they say in Europe, and reversed themselves
Muscatine's proposal is not for straight z
cent fares. 1t includes Accent rate for rush
hours, which Is better than patrons in most
gain from the popular viewpoint, ought to be
| fairly satisfactory, as bargains of the kind 20
| nowadays.

The Evolution Of Soan.

Our grandmothers used to save
4 pretty penny and at the same
time make profitable disposal Of
refuse which the extravagant
housekeeper today throws away, by
boiling up odds and ends of grease
and fat with a little lye from wood
ashes, to make very useful kettle
soap. This home made soap WAS
not so elegant as some of the stu1
marketed today, though it was quite
as sanitary. I'll stake my word on
that.
Our mothers, about the time they
were crazy over marble top tables
In the parlor and a few years
prior to the arrival of that hideous
affectation, the hard wood floor in
lieu Of carpet, used to keep in the
spare bedroom or, as the more ad-
vanced housekeepers termed it. the
guest chamber, cake of pink. blue
or lavender toilet soap scented with
something guaranteed to make the
guest homesick.
Ten years ago moro or less we
had store soap for the toilet. 1t
was pretty satisfactory soap. IL
1t had an odor you had to sniff
hard to detect the fact. That soap
was, and, considering the degeI-
crate hines which have come upon
tho soap world. still Is the peer Of
all preparations when sanitary or
surgical needs are to be met.
When It comes to washing the
hair, the face. or the teeth, q lot of
US who have more credulity than
sense select not merely soap, out
dedicated or anttseptic soap-ss
though plain soap were not suffic-
iently antiseptic itself.
This is just an illustration Of our
modern extravaganza.
To waste medicine by incorporat-
ing It in soap is surely extravagant,
because medicine must be kept IN
contact with the skin for hours In
order to accomplish anything,
whereas we carefully rinse away
all soap as soon as possible for the
benefit Of the skin, especially sick
skin. II know q sane individual
who puts ice cream in hot coffee.
Sometimes medication may be re-
Quired for the gums or mouth.
Sometimes the medicine may be "a
corporated in the dentiflce. But
unless the user carefully avoids
rinsing the dentifice out of the
mouth the medicine is merely vast
ed, for It could not be expected to
accomplish anything in q few Sec
onds. This applies with special
emphasis to antiseptics.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a
young lady of 10 and an orphan.
I had been keeping company with
a young man for about six months
until he went to the navy. During
that time I met another young man
whom I learned to love dearly.
Now the first young man has re-
turned and been to see me twice,
once when the second young man
was calling. I have told the Sec
ond young man about the other one.
In the last month a young lady
has come between the second
young man and me. Of whom l am
very jealous. don't think he has
ever been with her, but she has
been to his house several times to
stay over Sunday. The other night
we were at a dance and he danced
with her three times, though l
asked him not to. I talked with
him and we had quarrel.
He knows I am jealous Of her and
I think that is why he does it. Will
you please advise me what to do?
Should I continue to go with the
second young man or the first one?
BLUE EYES.
Go with the young man for whom
you care most if you make a choice.
Unless you are engaged, can see
no reason why you should give up
either. To show jealousy is the
height of folly. There is no surer
way OF losing a young man than by
asking him not to show interest in
another girl. II you show wisdom
and have faith in your own powers
of keeping his interest there is no
reason why you should suffer from
an imaginary romance. II he cared
,, for the other girl he would 60 to

places instead of you.
