Charleston Beer Drinkers
NotD Take EUen Shoe Polish.

Special Despatch TO THE New YoRK HERALE
CHARLESTON, S. c., Jan. 16.--Prohibi-
tion was the law here long before the
Eighteenth Amendment. We also had
state and county dispensaries. No
liquor has been legally sold here except
under the dispensary for thirty years,
but at all times, nevertheless. the Illegal
sale of liquor has been promscuous.
For the last year under Federal prohibi-
tion that is still the case. Those for
merly drinking beer and wine are now
driven at best to bad whislSey and NJ
the worst TO wood alcohol. with every
variety of bitters. shoe polish. hair tonic
and shellac in between. Everybody has
gone to making IL. Prohibition is a
failure and cannot be enforced because
opposed TO human nature.

that prohibition has not been in effect

Why not make a resolution right
now to follow the precepts of BEN
JAMIN FRANKLIN, whose birth
day anniversary is to-day?
But, more important still, why
don't we organize and put behind
the Thrift Movement all of the
energy and patriotism we put into
war work?
Can you think of anything more
important to do now than to es-
tablished the principles of Thrift
in the minds of the American
people?
Solomon, who was very wise and
very rich, has sent down through
the ages these words of wisdom:
He becometh poor that worketh with slack
hand, bur the hand of the dHigent n1sketh rich"
He that tilIeth his land shall have plenty of
bread"
"He that gathereth by labor shall have increase"

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 10.
More than ten thousand wounded vet
erans OF the world war are now being
cared for in temporary hospitals that are
of a "fimsy and infammable construc-
tion," Secretary of the Treasury Houston
to-day declared in letter to Represen-
tative Langley (Ky), chairman OF the
House, Public Buildings and Grounds
Committee.
The Secretary urged that Congress
Immediately authorize a building pro-
gramme calling for an expenditure Oh
S3O.000.000. Space for 10000 more peds
is urgently needed, he said.
Mr.. Houston revealed that, contrary
to general belief, the number of men IN
Government hospitals is constantly iS-
creasing, the rate being more than 1,IN~
a month during the last year. Within =
short time the Government will be caring
for between 10000 and $4,000 men. he
predicted, whereas a year after the sign
ing of the armistice the total was $3.50
patients In the last sixteen months the
total increased more than 1900, or to
'22,292.
Government facilities are inadequate
for caring for two classes of veterans
who are among the wars greatest SUI
ferers. the tubercular and the shell
shocked patients.
II wish to invite your attention TO the
urgent needs for additional hospital
facilities for disabled ex-service men
and women" the Secretary wrote.

While attending school in this city
Julio took up boxing as a recreation
under the tutelagc of Adam Ryan. He
progressed so nicely that lie decided to
appcar in number of bouts. making
good each time.
Then the South American had to re-
turn home unexpectedly to get into
nnltorm and take up arms in a revolu-
lion going on in Colombia. This was
about seven years ago. Now Julio is
back in the L. s. a., being in the ex-
port business in New York. and at the
same time he is looking after the as
plrn,oRS Of Rafael Plata.
Julio imported Rafael from South
America several weeks ago, has had him
IN StrIrt training and expects to start

best boxer found in Colombia" writes
Julio from New York. "and looks like
pretty promising young fellow"
