OF o. patients in hospitals in New York,
twelve are in such condition that little
hope exists for their recovery. OF the re-
mainder, as many as 20 may lose their
sight or be permanently injured from the
effects of alcoholic poisoning. The lq-
uor interests and their friends, of course,
will charge these deaths to prohibition,
but sensible people will charge it to vio-
lation of the law. Those who made and
sold this poisonous hootch are murder
ers and those who bought it were parties
to the conspiracy to violate the law Peo-
pie who drink the bootleg product these

CANADA IS IN TREATY NOW
Ten Now in Agreement; Canadian
Agreement Not Wholly Snug
gler-Proof, Pointed Out

Last week, the Senate ratified liquor
treaties with four additional nations,
bringing the total of countries up to ten
with the United States as to method of
dealing with the rum-runners. Great
Britain Italy, Germany, Norway, Swe-
den, France, Denmark, Holland, Pana-
ma and Canada have now joined with our
country in treaties on this subject The
ratified last week.
In commenting on TVS treaty, Wayne
B. Wheeler, General Counsel OF the Anti
Saloon League, says:
"The Canadian treaty is not smuggler-
proof. My recent visit TO Canada show
ed me that people may withdraw large
quantities of liquor for shipment to the
United States or other foreign ports.
Some of this liquor never leaves Cana
dian jurisdiction but is Struggled back to
supply the Canadian bootleg trade. The
fact that it is consigned to Mexico or
Europe means nothing. When the ex-
porter fails to return the receipt of the
consignee i'll Mexico or abroad, the Ca
madam government collects an extra tax
which is covered by the shippers bond.
Both the American bootlegger and his
Canadian brother make false shipments
and pay the slight tax due when they fail
to show that the liquor ever reached its
nominal destination.
The new treaty has provision that
vessels with liquor cargoes must be sea-
worthy to reach the port named in the
clearance papers. Heretofore mere
wooden craft got clearance to ports which
they could never reach. This particular
treaty provision will not greatly aid pro-
hibition enforcement in America. Small
unseaworthy vessels will not be able to
take liquor cargoes on ocean trips but will
still be able to cross the lake to the
United States.
at is to be hoped that Canada will
soon revise its local statutes against
smugglers and will unite with the United
States in Strengthening the treaty against
these rum criminals. Canadian temper
ance societies are urging. this action in
the interests of better international
friendship"

CHICAGO CHIEF ENDORSES
RIGID ENFORCEMENT POLICY

In an address at law observance mass
meeting under the auspicessof the Illinois
Federation of Women's Clubs Chicago
Police Chief Morgan Collins declared in
favor of strict law enforcement. He said:
The things that go to promote crime
are the things that should be suppressed
said the chief. "And the persons who are
promoting the booze and beer running
business are really the ones that are pro-
noting crime. There are those who ar
que that saloons, resorts and gambling
houses should be allowed to operate,
should be officially recognized. | have
never subscribed to this policy. This
business makes for an idle class who are
bad enough when they are broke but who
become ten times worse after they have
become rich in illicit profits. Rigid en-
forccment of the law is the only policy, |
believe.
Good Aid Law Breakers"
MANY of our good people are uncon-
sciously assisting in the breaking of laws.
Many OF our young people indulge in So
Nalieu ooo@S pda tiSs. rs matter Vi lat
we need total abstinence more than ever
before and the parents should see that
booze is not used at parties" The chief
also pleaded for observance Of the motor
laws and attacked the attitude of the ju-
dietary in regard to motor law violations
Mrs George Thomas Palmer. of
Springfield, president of the Illinois Fed
GRAFTON of Women's Clubs, declared that
organized womanhood could WELD a
mighty influence in support OF better law
observance. The Chicago mass meeting
was part OF a campaign to secure or
gained action in support of law enforce
ment by Illinois Club Women through
out the state.

BUSINESS MEN VS.. BOOT
LEGGERS

Plymouth business men are
united in saying that hereafter men
known to be selling liquor in Ply
mouth must watch their step, for
the illegal sale of liquor is not only
hurting the men who drink the liq-
uor but is hurting the town. Men
suspected of being engaged in the
hootch traffic must change their
ways or suffer the penalty, SO say
business men who heretofore have
taken no interest in the matter.

LESS BOOZE IN ARMY SINCE
PROHIBITION

Chicago, Nov 1S,-That very marked
improvement had taken place in the army
under prohibition was the verdict ascribed
TO the officers by Miss Rebecca N.
Rhoads, OF Bellefront, Pa, who reported
at tho Woman's Christian Temperance
Union convention for the department of
soldiers and sailors.
Officers told me there was practically
no drinking in the army any more, as

Death Brings Changes
Changes in the Anti-Salon League or
ganization during the year included the
resignation OF Rev. +. Scott Mcbride to
become national superintendent of the
League the election of Major Frank 3.
Gilbert to become state superintendent,
and the appointment of Dad Rompel
as superintendent of the central district.
Death broke the ranks in the national
forces when DR.. Purley A. Baker, ma
tional superintendent Tor a quarter of
century, passed away at his home in
Westerviile Ohio, on March So Illinois
also sustained a severe loss by death
when Margaret Wintringer, assistant SUI
perintendent in the Woman's Department
passed away at the Hinsdale Sanitariuin
on October g.
Wet Activities Unabated
n survey of the activities of the wet
forces indicates no decrease in their eff
forts to break down the 18th Amend
ment. Former retail liquor dealers held
their regular annual convention and went
on record in favor of continuing to fight
against prohibition The Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment es-
tablished local branches at Springfield,
Joliet, Aurora and various other places
in the state. Wet propaganda, chiefly
by the Chicago Tribune, was more ex-
tensive than during any other year in the
fight against the liquor traffic.
What 1924 Brought
Perhaps the two outstanding develop
ments during the past II months cx-
pressed in general terms were the dis
covcry by officials of the exact and def
mite program necessary to stop liquor
lawlessness and a determination of the
law abiding part of the public to give in
divdual and organized support to the
cause of law and order.

The first thing to be determined
is, what is in the life, aim or talent
uppermost. in the mind of the one
to be educated? Various colleges
offer different advantages in special
lines. Location, equipment, stress,
atmosphere, and expense of the col
lege make a difference.
The Cost.
The expense of a year at college
depends both upon the college and
the student. One tenth of the wo-
men in college and a much larger
proportion of the men earn a part
of their expenses while in college.
There is question about the wis
dom of assuming paid job when in
school Some feel that it too hard
on the health, too much of strain
and keeps the worker so busy that
he does not have time or energy to
do justice to his studies. He has
almost no time tor college activi-
ties" part of college life which
is almost as important in develop
ment as the class work itself. Some
believe 1t is better to earn the funds
either before or after the college
course. An argument against earn
ing them before is that the student
is likely to become SO engrossed in
the business world, and so rusty in
habits of study, that he will lose his
desire to go. An argument for bor-
rowing the money and paying back
afterward is, that the money one
can earn after the college training
is much more than before and it is
a financial stroke to earn 1t with this
increased earning ability.
1t is not too early to be making
definite plans. There is this to be
said for the encouragement of the
student, where there is real will,
there is always way. True stories,
Of almost fairy romance and thrilling
adventure, are told of how some
boys and girls manage it.

HOT PACK CANNING.

The cold pack canning method has
been discarded by domestic science
experts, as less valuable than the
hot pack method. There are two
reasons for this: 1t takes longer
than was formerly supposed for the
contents in the center of can to
be thoroughly cooked, and it is bet
ter to heat and shrink the product
first
In order to keep well, the product
should be thoroughly cooked, to kill
all bacteria. This is more certain
to result If the product is cooked for
a few minutes In an open kettle first
and then packed hot into the can.
The time for processing can then
be shortened to about one-fourth the
time needed in the cold pack meth
cd.
The shrinkage of products packed
in the can cold is disappointing and
affords more opportunity for air to
seep in, with resulting spotlage. The
hot pack fills the can.
Keep canned products under OBJ
servation for week to detect those
likely to spoil.

USING ODDS AND ENDS.

Old linen table cloths, beginning
Sheets, worn in the middle, should
be torn part and the other edges
turned toward the center to distri-
butte the wear. Flour sacks make
good dishtowels when hemmed. Old
Bingham dresses may be bleached
with washing powder in the water
in which they are boiled. They make
excellent dish-towels. Turkish tow,
els, worn in the center, may be cut
up for wash cloths All pieces of
ragged garments should be washed.
the ragged portions trimmed off and
the remainder folded neatly away
for hundred and one domestic uses.
In a family of aults they are less
likely to find usage than where there
are children. If you have larger
supply than you need. give them to
the mother of family or send them
to the hospital. Old wool dresses
make good comfort tops or braided
rugs. Insane hospitals, where the
employment of the hands is part
of the mental cure, find clean pieces
OF wool goods very acceptable for
these purposes.
Blankets may be cut to save the
good parts and these pieced together
into one blanket. Wool blankets
may be covered with some pretty,
thin goods and tied into a comfort
Pieces of blankets may be used to
cover the ends of comforts and keep
these from becoming soiled by touch
ing the sleeper.
