dent of the w. c. T. u, at the recent
Illinois Anti Saloon League luncheon,
made a plea for cooperation OF all
dry forces during the coming year in
order to elect a dry Congress n
favorable State legislatures. All
present showed themselves heartily IN
accord with the idea of Cooperation
for the good of humanity" as Miss
Gordon expressed it..
Child Study Proves Practical and
Helpful
One of the most helpful tendencies
of the day is the splendid way IN
which mothers and teachers are Try
ing to make the home n moo sup
plement each other, according 10 the
work of our wv Parent-leacners
Association, as well as the Iowa Nhlu
Welfare Research Station.
The child welfare bureau is prov
ing an invaluable aid in studying
children and their needs and It's prac-
teal suggestions and advice are
shown by the increasing number OF
letters from mothers and teachers
eager to learn best methods. These
letters. indicate a desire to adapt new
principles to the needs of the school
children and show that the time OF
regarding the new theories OF educa-
ton as a fad, has already passed.
Many people are now recognizing
the fact that the greatest educational
progress can be attained only wheh
the child has a healthy body and Is
properly nourished:
Booze Bonus Not Desired or Desirable
Concerning the much discussed sol
diers' bonus, Miss Anna A. Gordon
national president of the w. &. L. w.
has authorized the following state
ment:
The Women's Christian Temperance
Union does not believe the Congress
will nullify the Constitution OF the
United States by permitting the a
ufacture and sale Of intoxicating WINE
and beer in order that a tax imposed
upon these beverages may furnish a
bonus for our soldiers. We have too
much faith in the splendid men Oh
the American Expedition Forces 10
believe they would accept a bonus
raised by such a method. We belleVe
thew would resent such an extra
ordinary and illogical proposition.
We have too much faith in the 6!th
Congress to believe it would sanction
a t~raitorous deed by Uncle Sam IN
order to find a bonus for the men
whose supreme PATRIOTISM crown 3 oui
country's history.
The Women's Christian Temperance
Union organized nationally and IN
every State, vigorously protests
against the suggestion OF a booze
bonus fund. To enact such a measure
would mean suffering, degradation
disease and death. Our veterans De
serve a higher and holier recognition
of their magnificent service. WITHIN
a few weeks our organization a
given to the American Legion Com
mander. Colonel Hanford MacNider, a
check for 81, 000-the balance OF its
War Patriotic Fund-to be applied TO
the relief of permanently dlsapled
Worldly a Veterans.
The Women's Christian Temperance
Union believes a bonus for he sol
diers can be financed without calling
mon John Barleycorn. Let it be fur
nished from the stable resources Of
our great Republic.
The good women of America are de
termined that the Prohibition Jaw
shall be enforced. To accomplish
This, they are in a definite crusade.
IF Won see a on the street a
or railroad train take from her hand

pocket Law Enforcement Manual,
GLOW Citizens Can Aid Enforcement
Officials" issued by the National W..
C. I. U. Publishing House, Evanston,
Illinois. 1t contains only thirty
short pages but in that small compass
are ali the things one needs to know
concerning how the law can be en-
forced and the agencies to be used;
with six pages of practical sugges-
tions of ways any patriotic American
citizen can aid. The women are learn
ing it by head and heart, and putting
its suggestions into practice. The in
terest and enthusiasm with which this
work is being taken up by the good

liquor interests.
The "Service Star" window card
has been spoken of in these columns.
It is one of the schemes of the women
to mobilize sentiment for law observ-
ance. 1t is the plan to have these
cards placed in hundreds of windows.
A cleaning star of white against a
field of blue, and underneath, the
words, "Serve America! Support the
Constitution" 1t is hoped that this
service star, shining out from store
and office and home, will help light
the way to a new and better era of
law observance.
