But if the governor really means
that the Sunday laws are to be en-
forced as long as they exist, there is
no doubt that he will give further at
tention to the situation. The governor
might decide that it is obnoxious to
have an official family which cannot
enforce law.-Miami Metropolis.
Surely, sister, you don't want the
governor to try to override the ver-
dict of a jury.

Minino Potash

Potash in Germany occurs In the
form of rock salt and runs In seams
Of thirty feet or more In thickness.
AS mined IT has about the same con-
sistency as the common rock salt Of
commerce, and its grinding is easy.
The depths at which the true potash
deposits are situated make it neces-
sary to sink shafts leading to levels
of as much as 5000 feet below the
surface.

Proletariat.

The proletariat in Russia is used to
denote the lowest and poorest classes.
1t is derived, through the French,
from the Latin proletarii, the name
given In the census of Servius Julius
to the lowest of the centuries, who
were so called TO indicate that they
were valuable to the state only as
rearers of offspring. The word has
come much into use in the literature
of socialism.

Disagreement of the place; an IN
slightly, useless, or injurious plant. The
following note is added: A weed is

A FLYING Furnace.

The average meteor when first seen
Is about so miles above the surface
of the earth, and disappears from view
at 80 miles. Thus, 1t travels 80 miles
before the atmospheric friction burns

raises it to temperature of something

Kerosene and Coal.

Kerosene contains more heating en-
ergy than coal when considered on a
weight basis. A pound Of kerosene
contains about 1900 heat units,
whereas a pound Of high-grade coal
contains about 5000. The Gust Of the
various fuels for heating purposes de-
ponds largely upon the relative supply.

rheumatism until tho accumulated i'm

with this idea in mind he consulted

DRY HEADS IN CLASH
OVER LAW ENFORCEMENT

Near-feuds between Government
officials over how the Volstead law
shall be enforced, have begun to
sputter again. 1t became known to-
day that officials were divided into
two camps. One side, led by Pro-
hibition Commissioner Haynes, would
make enforcement SO drastic, and the
exemptions so far-reaching that
Liquor Withdrawals. even for medical
needs, will be reduced eventually to
almost nothing.
Opposing the Haynes view, are
high officials of the Internal Rev
enue Bureau and other Treasury
branches. who hold that the dry act
should be enforced strictly according
to terms laid down by Congress.
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon,
though absent from Washington on
a holiday trip, has been apprised
of the new disputes which have
arisen, and which he may be called
upon to arbitrate. 1t is suggested
today in reliable quarters that the
matter may even go to the President.

TOOTH DECAY BEGINS
|MPERCEPT|bLY

Always, the beginning Of decay is
very small. Nearly always II Is due
to neglect of the teeth. 1t is wiser
to prevent fire than to depend on
being able to put 1t out. And II is
easier to prevent decay by using Mag
Lac, the milk Of magnesia tooth
paste, than to check its ravages, once
1t has begun. The reason Is very sim
pie. Acid mouth is the most common
cause Of decay. Mag Lac destroys the
acid, and corrects acid mouth. There

a lifetime, brush them regularly
with Mag Lac. Get q tube today
