SHOW fewer ARRESTS
Under PROHIBITION

New York-Has prohibition actual
ly cut arrests for drunkenness anG
other causes in the United States or is
the reverse true? The facts obtained
by Robert E. Corradini, research sec
rotary of the World Lague Against
Alcoholism, from chiefs of police in
100 American cities led Mr.. Cor
radini to declare that there has been
substantial decrease in arrests for
drunkenness and in arrests for all
causes, and in the percentage Of ar
rests for drunkenness in relation to
arrests for all causes.
"Pre-prohibition periods are COM
pared with prohibition periods in
all instances" said Mr. CorEadini.
"The reports of the chiefs of police
for these 100 cities show that in the
wet period of 1914, 1915 and 1916,
there were in the 100 cities 323,79O
arrests for intoxication, or IT'S per
1000 persons. In the dry period COW
sring 1920, 1921, and 1922, there were
only 207,390 arrests in intoxication
N the 100 cities, or 9.5 per thousand
This is a decrease of 116,400, or So
Der cent, and the decrease came in
pite of the great increase in popula- !
iOn."

The public school as we know it Is

resembles free association.
There are great many such
schools, to be sure; but the children
who attend them are either caste
equals or they are held to the strict
obstEvance of caste regulations.
The children of the depressed classes
are NOT allowed to enter anywhere.
says Eleanor r. Egan in the Saturday
Evening Post, and | myself have seen
numbers of them in groups-eager, in
teligent and sadly conscious of their
disabillties-s quatting on schoolhouse
verandas, absorbing such instruction
as they could get through open win
dows and schoolhouse doors. None
could by any chance cross a school
room threshold
Yet in one way, and as far as the
advantages go, the depressed classes
enjoy better educational advantages
than any class in India, because it Is
To them that the Christian mission

The castles and the communities may

STRANGE SCENES TO BE
SHOWN IN "DRIFTING''

An atmosphere little known to the
world is shown in Drifting" the Uni
versal-Jewe1 special production which
comes to the Kenworthy theatre We'd
nesday with Priscilla Dean in the
starring role.
Drifting is an adaptation of
John Colton's stage play which was
successfully produced by William A.
Brady in New York. Alice Brady was
the star Of the stage piece.
Priscilla Dean has long been noted
as an emotionalist OF great sincerity,
and 1t is thing peculiar to her work
that her roles always have what Is
professionally called ''meat"-which
is, in other words, human drama.
The role of Cassie Cook in Drift
ing" is the role of girl who has
spent much time in China earning a
living at the easy game" of selling
opium. Cassie Cook as she is pictur-
ed at the opening of the story is not a
noble woman-but the story of her
SOULS redemption is the story Of }
Drifting"

BETTER HEALTH SERVICE
: Public Health is Public Wealth.
Issued by the Public Health
League of Idaho


There is a song which is entitled
"The Old Family Tooth Brush which
develops the idea that the whole fam
lily used the same brush which hung
by the sink" But the family tooth
brush, together with one of its COM
panions, the family towel, has gone
into the discard. You might not be
able to own a Ford, but there is no
reason in these sanitary days for not
owning and using a good. tooth brush.
Dirt and filth and disease are agrees
sive enemies of health. Cleanliness
mokes for wholesome living and long
err life.
The teeth are like flour mills-they
grind the food into small particles and
pass them on into the stomach. They
must be healthy If their grinding pro-
cess is successful. They must be
clean if they are not to assist in
throwing dirt into the stomach.
The tooth brush should be small. To
be effective it should have bristles of
uneven length. Use tooth paste or
powder on the brush to assist in the
removal of food particles sticking to
the teeth. Your dentist will recon-
mend some good paste or powder.
In the morning brush your teeth
with clear warm water and clean
your tongue. Then rinse the mouth
with lime water. The lime water
should be kept in the mouth for
full minute, and then force out be-
tween tightly closed teeth. Clean the
teeth after each meal, if possible, and
always before retiring. Don't be
afraid to take time to use dental floss
80 that food debris between the teeth
nay be removed.
1t takes at least two minutes to
)rush the teeth properly
There are five sides to each tooth to

ents were issued in fee to Indians or
fiscal eyar, according to the annual

liar reservations totalled 1852 ,54S
acres, while l, 100000 acres were 're-
stored to entry"
THE steady progress that is being
made in vesting title in our Indian
citizens" the report said, SIS well
represented in figures for the past
year. Six thousand and ten trust
patents were issued in Indians for an
area of 446,690 acres, while 2,546 pat
ents were assumed in fee to Indians or
their purchasers for an area Of $685.
939 acres.
Since the Issuance of the last an

during the fiscal year is 4OS,622 acres,
and that acquired for forest reserva-
ton purposes under the act of March
