Cooking" says Paris scientist,
"is the root Of all diseases since it
destroys the vitamines and induces
hamilton And still we are forever
facing the problem Of getting some
thing to cook, and somebody to cook
it. But, maybe, after all, that is
disease and not problem.

War Laws Are
Repealed By House

Repeal of most Of the Wartime
laws was voted yesterday by the
House, which adopted the volstead
resolution for that purpose after
two hours of debate.
The vote on adoption Of the reso-
luton was unanimous, 323 votes be-
ing recorded as favoring IL with none
opposed. The House, before taking
the final vote, accepted an amend
ment providing for inclusion of the
Lever food control act among the
laws which the resolution would re-
peal =
The amendment, which covers all
provisions Of the food control act
with the exception of the section re-
lating to rents in the District of COL
umbia, was offered by Representa-
tive Oscar E. Bland, Republican, Of
Indiana. 1t was carried by a vote
of 179 to 1877. @rA
The resolution;-whic now gees to
the Senate, exempts from repeal on
ly the trading with the enemy act,
the war finance corporation act and
its amendments and measures DEAL
ing with the issuance of Liberty and
Victory bonds.
The resolution declares "any act
of Congress that by its terms is in
force only during the existence of
state of war and limited time
thereafter shall be construed and
administered as if the present war
terminated on the date when this
resolution becomes effective"
The measure as adopted is practi-
cally identical with that passed by
Congress just before adjournment
of the last session and vetoed by
President Wilson.
Republican leaders of the House
asserted that adoption of the reso-
luton was one of the first steps
taken by the Republican majority to
fulfill the campaign pledge to put
the country on a peace-time basis.
Disposition of the Volstead reso-
luton clears the way for considera-
ton of the resolution oered by Rep
resentative Charles F. ReaNs, Re-
publican, of Nebraska, which would
provide for a Congressional survey
of the governments administrative
departments.

Wreck at Carlisle
Double Header

One of the most nerve racking
and disastrous catastrophes ever
witnessed at Carlisle took place last
Friday evening when the fast double
header from Mt. Sterling High
School struck the Carlisle local net
throwers. The first engine was in
charge of engineer Tapp with Pin
ney and Reese as breakmen and
Reissinger and Benton as trainmen
The second in charge Of Benton
breakmen Jones and Bach and con-
ductor Coons.
The first engine struck knocking
the Carlisle players completely off
the track, and into great disorder
all over the floor. The Carlisle 10
cal was absolutely demolished by
the force from Mt. Sterling. Each
train consisted Of four cars. In the
first car there were no fatalities for
Mt. Sterling but the amazing num-
Der Of IL for Carlisle. The second
car was torn by the record breaker
even more disastrously than the
-
first. Before reaching the third car
the train crew was changed. Orear
taking Tapp's place and Clark
Reese's' place. The scene Of the
third car was merely repetition Of
the disastrous fate Of the first two.
When the fourth car was struck,
Carlisle as last resource put in a
new breakman and Mt. Sterling re-
ceived her first casualties. When
the smoke had cleared away the
dead and injured from Carlisle were
piled % high against Mt. Sterling's
4. When the second limited from
Mt. Sterling collided with the local
from Carlisle the catastrophe was
very great. The crew from each
train fought so desperately that
each side had 9 to go ''West." The
next car was equally uncertain. The
crew joining in combat so heroically
that until the wrecking crew had
numbered the dead and removed the
debris it was unknown that Carlisle
fatalities were 3 more than that of
Mt. Sterling.
Heroic work was done in the first
wreck by Benton, Reissinger and
Pinney; and in the second by Ben
ton, Davis, Jones, Stamper and
Coons.

NEW ARRIVALS.

If as it is believed immigrants are coming to this country at the rate of e90O0 a month it indicates a deci1ed change from the number of such ar- rivals during the past few years for with this monthly average more than 9. third as many are coming here than was admitted during the fiscal year ending in 1919 and more than a half Of those for the 1918 year.
 It is to be expected, however. that there would be a difference seen in the tide of immigration with the war at an end from what there was when fighting was going on in Europe, and it is also 10 be realized that many are returning here who had gone to Europe to make their permanent abode after the armistice was signed, but with such a large number monthly it is perfectly evident ttat the responsibility of the immigration authorities in passing upon the qsssli- fication of the aliens fer adnittance is q large one.
 We have been and still are con- cerned in sending out of the country those who are regarded as a menace to the nation, those who are preach : ing anarchy and working for the overthrow of the government by rev olution. It is even of greater import ance that we should put forth every possible effort to prevent such peo- pie from getting in. That an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure can have no better application than in connection with the keeping out of the undesirables. We need to restrain the objectionables right at the door. It is the quickest and eas- jest means of suppression, and then we should at the same time be pre- pared to give moro attention to the Aruericanization of those who are ad- mitted. The steam of immigration means much work when such task is undertaken but it is nevertheless bound to pay in the end.
