states. If the governor Of state is
bold enough to enter the presidential
race in opposition to a triumph OF
national conscience he must think
there is a very large opposition TO
prohibition and the friends Of phohi-
1iton must not slacken their efforts
since Governor Edwards effort is de-
signed to commit the Democratic par
ty to the saloon side of the question"
Mr.. Bryan pointed out that the IL
luor forces are more active now THAI
hey have been because they realize
hey have been forced into the last
Itch. They are attacking the pro-
hibition laws in the courts from every
possible angle and already are orga-
lizing in many states back by the
millions of dollars of the distillers
with the view OF putting into office
from president down men. who oppose
prohibition.
prohibition is in greater need OF
it's friend now than ever before de
clared Mr. Bryan, every law abiding
citizen should support this campaign
for funds to fight the liquor interests
in the courts and at the polls and to
assist in enforcement of the law. The
battle is not over. The bitterst fight
looms just ahead 1t will be q fight
to the finish and the powers of dark
ness must not prevail.
Il have no doubt the public will sup
port law enforcement. but it is neces-
sary that they should understand the
forces that are working for the liquor
traffic"
Mr. Bryan left this afternoon for
Chattanooga where he spoke tonight
in behalf OF the prohibition enforce

BRYAN WARNING
AGAINST EDWARDS
TELLS ROME AUDIENCE DANGER
is YET AHEAD

Rome Ga. Jan. 23.-In a stirring
address delivered here this afternoon
in the interest of the prohibition en-
forcement campaign William Jennings
BRYAN sounded the alarm to the
friends of prohibition throughout the
nation to be on their guard to block
what ne characterized as the very
open movement to return to the le-
galized saloon. The friends Of prohi-
bition had better be on their guard,
declared Mr.. Bryan. and this applies
with especial force TO the democratic
friends Of the prohibition movement.
"The boom for Governor Edwards
of New Jersey for president he said,
''is one of the best illustrations of the
necessity for law enforcement. Gov
ernor Edwards had promised if he
were elected to make New Jersey as

Mr.. Mouse. "Stay right where you

by night time. and ] do not think
Puss will get me up here, so make
yourself easy; your home shall not

Madam Spider said she could never

Some time after this all happened
MIR. Mouse grew bold again n ran
out of the pantry n day and Puss
saw him.

He could moi get back to the pantry.

him. so she sat quite still I'M

who was sure his end was near.
But he had a friend close by,
though he did not know 1t. for right
over Puss' head was the new homo of
Madam Spider, and when she looked
down and saw what was going on she
knew IL was time to pay her debt OF
gratitude to Mr.. Mouse.
Madam Spider let herself down by
a slender thread right over Puss.
Then she swung herself right into n
of Puss' eyes.
Puss bent her head and brushed
her eyes with one paw. 1t took only
a wink of time. hut 1t was enough.
Mr.. Mouse was saved, for when Puss
opened her eyes again he was gone.
Madam Spider. too. was safe up in
her home again, feeling very content

Mr.. Mouse, who once had spared her
home?
That night. when Mr.. Mouse was
thinking wei all that had happened,
he suddenly remembered the Spider
that saved him.
"why, l do believe 1t must have

spared a long time ago." he said.

became one of a famous little COM
pany which chased the monster over
the sandy and burning plains of the
Southwest and northern Mexico, and
did not desist until the enemy surren-

ton and Miles witness TO the healthy
minded zeal which Wood manifested
toward the barbarians who wreaked
their savagery on American women
and children and the fact that Wood

in this campaign-the medal of on

HOME CANNING is NECESSARY.
No Assurance, Say Government Elk.
perts, That Canneries VIII be
Able to Meet Demand.

Home canning-of utmost importance
during the war-win be just as i'm
portant this year. according to present
Indications as they are viewed by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The shortage of labor on the
farms makes it necessary for the can
neries TO pay high prices for commodi-
ties that will be canned later in the
season. Labor in the canning factories
is expensive and difficult to obtain.
Everything. from cans to carriage costs.
has increased in price. and transporta-
ton is slow and more expensive thai
1t was in war times. All this increase
must be paid by the ultimate j:
and there is not even assurance that
there Will be enough canned products
TO go around. The solution is home
canning.
That sugar is higher in price than it
has been hitherto is advanced by some
ms a reason for canning either less fruit
or nothing but vegetables: but unless
one intends to give up sweets entirely,
there seems no good reason for not
using canned fruit on account of high
priced sugar. There are few desserts
that do not take from, one-half to one
cup of sugar. and no dessert is more
healthful than fruit. 1t is not neceS-
sary to use such thick strip as was
used i'll the days of plenty. A 10 per
cent strip made of 1 part sugar and o
parts water will make palatable any
of the acid fruits. Such fruits AS
apples, p~ineapples. and the like can be
canned without sugar. In fact. ordin-
airy glucose or corn sirup may be sub
stituted for sugar in making the sirup.
A palatable strip is made by mixing u
cup sugar. 1 cup glucose. and s cups of
water.
1t requires about 4 ounces Of sugar
for Il pint jar. One cup of sugar will
make fen cups of strip. \ pound of
sugar will make 20 cups. This last
amount will lie sufficient for 20 pints of
canned fruit. Where the 10 per cent
strip is used the cost Of the sugar to
can n pint jar is IL cents With sugar
Mt 80 cents II pound. 1t is not SO ex-
pensive after all.

PUss, MOUSE, A SPIDER.

ID ROWN MOUSE came out of his
ID hole IN the wall, which landed him
right on a shelf in the pantry. The
hole was hidden by pans, and Brown
Mouse never thought of such a thing
as that the pans might be moved.
One day he was bold enough to run
out in the daytime and stayed. and,
getting n bad fright from seeing Puss
come into the pantry, he ran out of
the door into the kitchen and out into
the yard.
Here he managed TO escape by run
ming under the steps, where Puss
could not follow him.
All day he stayed there and all
night. too, and it was not until the
next day that he could get back to his
own home.
But what was his surprise, when he
went to the hole in the wall to find
