HELPING THE VETS.

A prohibition enforcement officer died the other
day in a little town in Pennsylvania. had held
his joo one year. Before that he had been a saloon
keeper after prohibition little
When his will was fled it was disclosed that he
left an estate a quarter of a million dollars When
he the job, according the dispatches, he was
worth than a tenth Of that amount
The community which knows and which has been
drenched with imported and Illicit booze for year
are attribuung his sudden rise in fortune to
increased business from the garage.
The Ohio supreme court has just permitted the
voters Of that state to vote the question of
amending their constitution so as to permit the
sale Of wines and beers.
It is announced that the effort Is being made in
anticipation of change in the federal laws that
10 state law will prevent a return of dampness.
The drys are lighting this action indi-
cative Of a belief that the vets may possibly make
showing of popular votes in favor Of less string
ent restrictions.
They would show no such concern if it were not
for the sudden fortunes made by some enforcement
officers and the fact that the government is not
enforcing this law other laws enforced.
The benefits of prohibition are too well estab-
lished to convince any reasonable man that the
sale of booze anything but a deteriment to the
country Savings accounts have Increased and
greater amounts of food and clothing are being
cd through the savings of money formerly
went for drink.
But there is growing dissatisfaction with the
lax enforcement and the partalites that being
shown by federal officers.
There very few communities in which one
more favored vendors not permitted to reap
rich harvest from their sale Of forbidden drinks.
There are very few communities in which the
forcement officers do wink violations by those
who have been able to secure official blindness.
The only real aids to the wet forces in this
try these same venal officials who making
a joke Of law and creating distrust of all law.
The lid is SLIPPING badly in most communities. The
coming election probably has a lot to do with It.
Such sudden fortunes that of the Pennsylvania
probably produces the greater portion of laxity.
A strict impartial enforcement Of the law for a
year would stop forever any effort to secure re-
peal OF the amendment any modification of it.
Until administration does just that, there
will always be ground to play upon the sentiments
Of many people who theoretically opposed to
booze but who are very sincerely against the des-
truction of government through graft and corrur
.tion

THE POISON CREW.

Poison gases, developed during the war. eventu-
ally will exterminate the cotton boil weevil. This
Is predicted by Brig Gen. Ames A. Fries. chief Of
.he armys Chemical Warfare Service
Extinction OF the boil weevr would mean
money saving running into hundreds of millions OF
dollars year
This insects ravages in 1921 cut the American
cotton crop $4,000 bales of 500 pounds each or
nearly five times as much in 1909
The boil weevrs damage averaged 1O9 pounds
for each acre devoted TO cotton culture.
Nearly third of last years potential cotton crop
WAS destroyed by the weevn.
General Fries says: THAT the boil weevil Will
be exterminated am certain. The length of time
# will take for such control Will depend in large
measure upon the funds available for increasing
our knowledge Of poisoning compounds and apply
ing them to the solving Of the problems of the boil
vvoevil"
Poison gas unquestionably has great future as
an exterminator OF insects and animals 1t is be-
ing used with much success. in killing rats. gorh-
ers and other rodents which destructive to
pastures and fields and which carry dread diseases
such as bubonic plague
In the Philippine islands our army gas experts
ere beginning poison gas campaign TO destroy the
locusts which cause terrific damage to crops
This is scientific progress, born OF the war"
But when you take the peacetime use OF poison
sas and compare it with its evil work in the war,
you realize that humanity IS getting less than 10
cents in exchange for SO.
There is such thins as progressing" backward

YOUR HEALTH By cd Dr.: r. S

There are many forms Of speech
defects and many causes for them.
There may be muTfling Of the tones
in some cases, and in others actual
inability to pronounce certain let
ters or words.
Some cases are due to swelling
of the tissues or TO new grOwths.
Others are due TO absence of neces-
sary parts of the vocal system o.
TO whitening of the tissues. Still
others are caused by loss of func-
ton due TO interference with the
nerve supply, and failure Of mus
cular action as a result.
