Children suffering from intestinal worms
are cross, restless and unhealthy. There
are other symptoms, however. If the
child is pale, has dark rings under the
eyes, bad breath and takes no interest in
play, it is almost certainty that worms
are eating away its vitality. The surest
remedyfor worms is Whites Cream Vermi-
fuge. It is positive destruction to the
worms but harmless to the child. Price

PROHIBITION AS AN ISSUE.

Dry enforcement, all at once, shows signs of be-
coming political The action of Gov Pnchot of
Pennsylvania in practical efforts in his ewn state and
in his Washington speech at the national citizenship
conference has served focus public attention the
subject. 1t inevitable that somebody should pre-
cipitate the issue later and this is probably
good time any.
1t is fact, everyone familiar with general con-
dtons knows, that far on the whole, prohibition
enforcement in this country is failure Not that the
liquor situation is anywhere bad it in
the days of legaized traffic, but that it is nowhere
good ought to be, and that present prac
tees are poisoning bodies, minds and morals and
breeding ntolerable dsrespect for law. This is not
true OF all the states majority of states, but
it is shamefully true of powerful minority. And the
situation is one that clamors for reform.
Prohibition is not naturally partisan issue. 1t
is moral and social issue. 1t recognized in all
the campaigns which led to the federal prohibition
amendment and the Vostead enforcement act Yet it
is certain to be dragged into party politics, state and
national, if present conditions continue.
If it is, there may be rude awakening among
bootegging interests and tolerant citizens who have
been saying that the American people "do not really
want prohibition" strong leader, taking strong
stand for dry enforcement in the of either party
might sweep the country the other party took con-
trary haf-hearted position the subject, no mat
ter what other issues involved in the campaign
