FOR JUST ONE DRINK

He took one drink but there was
wood alcohol in the whisky Eugene
Finkle drank. Now he is cropping in
blindness. Il felt all right until
when | awakened with intense pain"
said Finkle. The next day Finkle
was very i'll but went to work. That
evening the doctor came. He said
Finkle had been poisoned. The next
morning Finkle was blind. Just one
drink. Wood alcohol acts on the blood
vessels, especially the small ones.
The capilaries burst. That is what
causes blindness. The tiny arteries
of the retina are ruptured, destroying
sight. a straight drink of wood
alcohol brings on internal hemor-
rhages, blindness. convulsions-and
death. Pretty big price to pay,
just for one drink-Capper's Week
ly.

MERGE ALL RAILWAYS
INTO NINETEEN SYSTEMS

The Interstate Commerce Commits.
sion, will turn its attention to the
proposed consolidation of the rail
roads of the country into nineteen
huge competing systems.
The consolidation, if made, would
revolutionize the transportation
practice of the country. 1t is urged
to remedy the fundamental defects
OF the existing arrangements, which
are said to be inadequate to the
needs Of the country and hamperinp
industry and commerce.
E!c5e hearings on the eonssccida-
tion project will be held April "a.
under a call sent out by the COM
mission to the Southeastern rail-
roads. Other roads will be heard
thereafter.
The consolidation, its sponsors
claim, would eliminate much dupli-
cation of overhead expenses and
wasteful competition, would bolster
up the week roads, and make more
efficient management. At the same
time it is held, efficiency would be
maintained by the competition among
the great systems.

ACTING MAYOR LAYS DOWN
LAW ABOUT CHICKENS

Acting Mayor W, A. Frost, broke
into print with pronouncement this
week, the sense of which is that
chickens must be kept enclosed in
their pastures to avoid the payment
Of a fine on the part of their owners.
The acting says that gardners and
flower fanciers have rights as we'll
as the chicken raisers. His formal
notice reads like this:
1t has been brought to my atten-
tion on numerous occasions that, al
though springtime has come, and
many have planted their gardens and
flower beds, many others are still
letting their chickens run out,
scratching where they please, which
was generally in a moist flower bed
or where the green garden stuff was
just peeping through. There is a
city ordinance against letting chick
ems run outside, and this law will be
strictly enforced. The offense is
punishable by fine. SO begin to put
your chickens up. keep them off
other peoples gardens. The ban is
on. For every complaint in the fu-
ture there will be a fine. That is
settled.

THE REFORMERS

Golfers Weekly says that many
people have been making themselves
happy by trying to make the world
better, and suggests that they might
accomplisho more if they would try
to make the world happier by making
themselves better.
There is sound sense in this sug-
gestion, although many of the pro-
fessional reformers will resent it.
The reason so many reform move
ments do not get anywhere is that the
people have little faith in the reform
leaders.

 Stakes Much on Play
 All told. this hamlet which, in peace times, had budget of insignificant proportions has staked its municipal existence on the outcome, of this years productions. ~
 Oberammergau will be able to fur nish accommodations for 1000 visi- tors who prefer to sleep in the vil- lage In order to be on hand for the ammergau, close by, is arranging quarters for 1,50O other, while the well-known convent at Etta1, half an hours travel distant is preparing to install 800 emergency cots Thus the management of the play believes that it will be amply able to accommodate the overflow of visitors.
 The problem of feeding the guests is more intricate and to solve it the elders have appointed a commissary department which will cooperate with the Bavarlan Food controller and the cooperative society of Re- gensburg.
 Stern rebuke awaits the profiteer who should attempt to conduct a lunch stand here in defiance of estab- lished regulations or violate fixed price schedules. In fact, illegitimate dealers and spectators of all cate gories are being emphatically inform ed that Oberammergau is bound to prove disappointing to them if they regard 1t as an opportunity for a quick cleanup.
