An Authority Speaks.

When Luke denounces the VOL
stead act he receives a lot of anony-
nous communications from bigoted
towards who call Luke a "boozer"
and other pet stock names. But
when a learned, dignifed official,
whose business 1t is to enforce the
law, denounces the Volstead act,
who is to deny his contention? Ed
ward NJ. Hurley, the United States
Commissioner in Cincinnati, is in q
position to know whereof he speaks.
He Is a big man in every way, and
a competent authority. He tried
case after case for the Government,
and sat in judgment and weighed
the law. And he is big enough and
broad enough to tell the truth. Here
is his opinion of the Volstead act:
The Volstead act is the silliest
most ridiculous law ever written and
imposed upon liberty-loving people.
If the law could be enforced $4,000
Cincinnatians would be arrested and
recorded as law breakers. This
courtroom would be choked UP "a
hours a day with defendants called
Il trial. People unwittingly are
law breakers under the language of
this law"
1t is well for a liberty-loving peo-
pie that a man like Edward NJ. Hur-
ley holds the responsible position of
Commissioner. More power to him.

When Feminism
Was Thanked

When the history of the men of the
Twentieth century is written the
name of Osa Williams of Gillespie,
Macoupin county, H., U. S. A, will
loom large. The faithful chronicIer
will tell how Osa, in mans darkest
hour, with the she-homos in the sad
die and riding hard, led the way to
the light and showed how even men
might still be of some use on the
earth.
1t will be recorded that in Septem-
Der, 1920, while the women politicians
of Macoupin county were modified
at the county fair contriving the COM
plete subjugation Of man, Osa Will
ans executed masterful thanking
movement and gained the domestic
science position and there entrenched
himself and showed all men how they
could rehabilitate themselves by doing
the things the women had left undone

spraying you with the fine spray of
moisture which is given off in talk
ing and carries nearly five feet. The
time when any of the diseases includ-
ed under the group of respiratory in
fections is most catching is in the
stage of invasion or onset, probably
before the victim feels ill enough to
go to bed. Therefore, it behooves YOU

ter exposure to cold or wet, except by
coincidence; does not prevail more
widely among exposed to severe cold
by reason of occupation or climate; is
quite as frequent among Southern ne
groes, or somewhat more frequent
among them than among the poor in
Northern cities, and, in fact, has but
one possible connection with cold and
that is the chill of onset, which as ev-
cry doctor knows today, is a symp-
tom Of the illness and not a cause.
AS certainly as diphtheria and ton
sllltls and quinsy and coryza are in
fectlons to which persons too much
confined indoors are most susceptible.
pneumonia is an indoor disease. Hunt
ers, explorers and woodsmen know
from their own experience how true
this is. Out in the open, away from
personal contact with the human germ
carrier, the distributor of samples of
infection, no amount of exposure to
cold or wet proves more than physi-
cally painful. Soldiers in the front
line trenches know how true this is.
1t was IN the camps at home and in
the crowded billets behind the fighting
lines that pneumonia and the other
respiratory infections prevailed-not
in the forward trenches, despite the
bitter exposure men had to endure
there.
There is something about this ex-
posture myth that makes some of the
older medical brethren reluctant to
drop it. They comb the earth in
search of evidence to support the the

in order to do the things that the men
had always done.
Osa Williams is a bachelor. And a
baker. Not the professional kind.
Strictly a gentleman amateur. He is
a home body and bakes only for his
own pleasure. When he discovered
that the women had left off baking to
run the country, he invaded the bak-
ing field with six cakes and several
different kinds Of bread and at last
accounts he was capturing the blue
ribbons like a skirted veteran of the
bake pans.
1t is too soon to estimate the far
reaching effects of the baking Of Osa
Williams Of Gillespie county, but it
cannot be doubted that in the future
