CLEAN UP THE DO {.

Bootlegging and the drinking Of il
licit liquor is causing the local author
itias no end Of trouble. The situation
seems to be growing worse as the boot
Logging business takes a deeper root
and assumes more the proportions Of
an established business. It is said that
there il more drunkenness now than
before the enactment of the national
prohibition law. The condition is
general and every community has
the same evil to combat at
this time There is drinking and drunk
enness now in places where these
things were never tolerated before.
Last week attention was directed in
these columns to the drinking that
has been practiced by some who have
attended the public dances in Manches-
er. Those in charge of the dances
say they have the booze proposition to
fight all the time and have always well
coined help from the authorities when
1t could be obtained. Yet, 1t is conced-
ed that the evil persists. The Demo-
crat, in common with all good citizens,
wants this unlawful drinking and traf-
fic in liquor wiped out Of this COM
muniy. II public dances cannot be
held without being infested with boot
leggers and drunks then it would be
better to discontinue the dances.
We are told that there is u
drinking in other places in toy,
few stiff Jail sentences would make
this less attractive spot for the boot
logger.

many were unable to gain admis-

Miss Magdsick and the teachers who

Johnnie's Earache.

When Johnnie Jones came home
from school in the middle of the
morning. holding his hand to his
ear and crying softly because it was
an unmanly thing to cry. his mother
was busy with the sick baby and the
ringing of the telephone. and the
milk man asking for his money, and
the butcher boy explaining that he
knew she had ordered chops, and if
she thought she had ordered boiling
meat, he, the butcher boy, was quite
sure she was wrong.
And for the minute Johnnie was
neglected. So he put his books
clothes closet and struggled out of
his rubbers and his little woolen cap
and sweater and sought the warm,
sunshiny room upstairs, where his
grandmother spent most OF her time
And because grandmothers are gen
persons in the world. Johnnie held his
ear and wept into her lap. and in
sisted that his ear hurt, and she was
not to touch it.

He has earachc. and I was just
wondering what we should do for it,
murmured Johnnie's grandm other,
raising the moist little weeping face
and patting the small boy tenderly.
Hot salt against his ear and some
warm oil in it would help him.

ter" Small boxes of this patching
plaster can be bought at hardware
store inexpensively, and it should be
mixed with cold water on an old
saucer with an artists palette knife
or small spatuia. For fine cracks
this plaster Snould be Of the consist
ency of milk: for nail holes and
gouges il should be as stiff as putty.
only enough for one hole should be
mixed at a time. r. ii dries very
quickly and cannot be remoistened
Before putting it or the wal! dampen
the holes or cracks with a cloth
patching plaster into these wet places
with the palette knife, and allow it to
dry for two hours at least before ap
plying the tint paint.
The next step is to wash all the
woodwork in the room. particularly
such spots as the tops of doors and
windows or the upper part of picture
molding. where a paint brush might
drag out dirt.
1t will pay you to buy a good paint
brush. A poor one sheds hairs and
thus causes much trouble in painting
Sometimes. however, even an expen-
sive brush will do this. and the hair
must then be picked from the paint
on the wall by the aid of a pin, after
which it is well to run the paint
brush over the spot again.
This tint paint is easier to put on
than an ordinary paint. For 1t need
not be worked over. One even stroke
will suffice. And if desired half a
room may be done and the work
abandoned for time: for when the
work is resumed there will be no
mark of joining.
