Noah IN Washington
(From the New York Times.

Mr.. Noah w. Cooper, chairman Of
the Southern Methodist Sabbath Saw
ing Crusade, has gone from Nashville
to Washington with 25 other savers
and a fat petition with which the
waste basket of every member of
congress will be enriched. Mr.
Cooper's prenomen was well chosen
by his parents. No doubt he is one
of the most amiable, excellent and
worthy of men, but he dates from
the Ark and his intellectuals still feel
the motion of the waters. Still, there
is a beautiful, engaging simplicity in
his opinions. Heated himself, he re-
freshes a superhumid world. Con-
tinental Europe had the continental
Sunday Consequently, Goods fury
broke upon it in the world war"
We are initiating fatal example
and earning the penalty Of destruc-
ton. Babylon and Belshazzar and
all the other good old sign-posts on
the road to ruin are trotted out.
How shall destruction be avoided?
BY passing a federal Sunday law for
bidding the carrying of passengers.
freight, newspapers and all mails in
interstate trains, shutting up all
postoffices, and prohibiting all mail
deliveries on Sunday and all amuse-
ments and business for profit, there
by compelling the heather millions
of Americans whose notion Of Sun
day observance differ from Mr..
Cooper's to conform and be good.
1--WE might just as we'll destroy the
sacred rite of marriage as to de-
stroy the sacred Sabbath" and
everybody is destroying 1t who
doesn't keep 1t after the manner of
the Southern Crusaders.
Amid the present discontents and
these inebriations Of the mercury, it
would be too much work to give to
this proposed plunge into the back
ward of time and this suspension of
the necessary vital flow Of traffic and
recreation all the wonder and the
amusement that it merits. Perhaps
even in these steep-down CULTS of
liquid fire the admirer of Mr..
Cooper's conservatism or reaction
may be strong enough to suggest to
him that only by persuasion and
example, if at all, can his austere
Sabbatarianism make any headway.
Law, if it could be enacted, and
force, if it were used, could only
cause a multitudinous national rush
into a still looser Sunday observance
and "our DOOM" Moreover, all these
Wahabi rigors tend to diffuse a GER

dies was all that saved the buildings
of the Abbott farm from being de-
stroyed by fire about 1890 Monday
noon. AS it was the fire was extin-
guished safely. The amount of Cam
age is not known, but it is believed to
be fully covered by insurance.
The fire originated in an over
heated air tight stove in the second
story of the ell of this house. This
ell is under the same roof as the
main house and is occupied by the
help. The fire worked it's way up
the partition into a blind attic and
when the men arrived in answer to
a still alarm it, had broken through
the roof in number of places and
the ridge pole was afire for a dis
lance of so feet. With the aid of
men who came from the Macomber
farm with large chemical, the fire
was soon under control and within
an hour it was completely extin-
guished. If much time had been
lost, the house would have been de-
stroyed. Mr.. Abbott is very CRATE
full to the men of the Augusta fire
department and also tosthe men from
the Macomber farm who were SO
quick in their response.
THE department also was called
out about $40 Monday morning to
cxtinguish a chimney fire in the
house at Crosby street which is
owned by the Augusta Real Estate
Association and occupied by John T.
Mcdonald. This was easily stopped

N. B. Supreme Court
Rules Against McKin-
non in LIQUOR Case

st. John. n. B., Nov. 21-The su-
preme court Friday denied the appli-
cation Of Pope d. Mckinnon of Ban
liquor inspector to prevent the latter
from keeping large quantity OF
liquor seized here three weeks. The
case now goes back to the police
court for adjudication.
McKinnon held that under the Ca
madam federal laws he was entitled
to buy liquor here and transport it to
Maine. The prohibition authorities
said that Mckinnon could not pur-
chase liquor here any more than ordi-
nary citizens. but that the order
must come from Maine to be filed
and be shipped by common carrier, as
federal laws provide.
1t is understood that the case will
be fought in the police court and that
it may be appealed to the supreme
court on another point. The customs
authorities seized Mckinnon's truck
on the ground that he registered it
as tourist car instead of as Il COM
mefce carrier.
McKinnon is now in trouble in
ArOostook county because of the
seizure of load of liquor and the ar
rest of himself at Wytopitlock week
ago. This liquor was purchased in
Charlottetown, +. f. l., and was
legally transported through this prov
ince, but not in Maine.

County Boys
Conference May Be
Held in Augusta

Dates. January 20, Fl and % Tenta-
lively Set for Gathering of kenne-
bee Boys in City-Big Problem Is
to Secure Accommodation for the
Visitors
The question Of the advisabi
of holding a County Boys Conference
in Augusta for three days in the
month of January, 1922, was given
wide discussion at meeting of
committee of Augusta men held
Monday afternoon at the Chamber
of Commerce Assembly hall, at the
call of County ~" Secretary Thomas
II. Leonard. The dates tentatively
set for this conference are January
20, u and %. and a splendid pro-
gram including muny addresses by
speakers of note in Y. NJ. c. A. work
was outlined by Secretary Leonard.
1t was the opinion of all present
that such a conference would be of
great value to the boys of lkennebec
county from the ages Of IA to II.
The first of these county conferences
was held in 1919 at the State "Y"
Camp at Lake Cobbossee. and al
though on. a much smaller scale
than the conference proposed for
next year, it was of far-reaching
value.
The big question before the meet
ing yesterday was whether accom-
modations could be found in the
city for the 200 boys who would at
tend. If Augusta desires to enter
tain this conference. the citizens
must offer rooms for the visitors;
If rooms are not available. no con
ference will be held. Before the
final decision is made on the matter
of holding the conference here,
committee will look into the prob
lem of securing rooms and will re-
port at a meeting to be held early
in December.
These present at the meeting held
Monday were Myron NJ. Davis pres
ident. and George c. Clarke, secre-
tary of the Augusta Chamber of
Commerce, Milton O. Dean, Hon.
Henry f. Dunnack, Rev. A. Francis
Walch, Rev. L. NJ. II. Knapp. Will

new Treatment FOR
COLDS IS DISCOVERED
edy. which is called KUROKOL, will
be placed on the market throughout
tho ,iu;liuod u,oryd

edy. which is called KURoKOL, will
be placed on the market throughout
the civilized world.
In referring to his new discovery.
DIR. Smathers said: Ever since first
began the study of medicine have
realized the great need Of q more Ell
cient method Of treating colds and
kindred disorders than the treat
ments ordinarily prescribed.
1.-THE trouble has been that most
people invariably treat the symptoms
and not the. cause. Most people now
adays. when they have cold. simply
take Aspirin or some coal tar deriva-
tive. Plain Aspirin never did and
never will cure a cold. 1t relieves the
symptoms momentarily and allevi-
ates only. Others take nauseous doses
of quinine and violent purgatives,
which often upset the system to such
an extent that the treatment is worse
than the disorder; while still others
use simply cough remedies and ex-
pectorants, which afford only tenn
porary relief.
my new formula, Kurokol, Is a
combination treatment and acts as
an antipyretic, which reduces the
fever: an expectorant. which loosens
the phlegm, relieves congestion and
stops the cough; a laxative, which
opens the bowels; and an antiseptic,
which retards germ growth and pre-
vents the spread OF the infection.
"Kurokol is very palatable: in fact,
delightful to take and produces no
unpleasant after effects whatever.
Even young children take it readily,
and it acts on all, both young and
old, with the same gratifying results.
Those who have taken Kurokol
find it difficult TO describe the won
derful feeling of relief. The head
clears up as if by magic. Sneezing
and smiling usually cease at once;
headache, eye pain. ringing in the
ears ard other distressing symptoms
almost invariably disappear with the
first few doses. Only one bottle is
usually sufficient to relieve the most
obstinate cold"
j. Kurokol is now being placed on the
market throughout the entire United
States and Dominion of Canada, and
is for sale by all druggists. The most
convincing evidence of its absolute
merit is the fact that the manufac-
turers stand sQuarely back of every
bottle sold, and have given positive
instructions to all dealers to refund
money. without question, in every in
stance where it fails to give perfect
tisfaction.---Adv.
