home cooked, and getting the chill
dren in the habit of eating them is
much the same sort of thing as get
ting them to do errands, or 90 to
school, or wash their faces or do
any other thing that is habit.
The parent should take the child
aside and explain to him that eating
is more than mere matter of
"taste." The child should receive
an education in the fact that eating
for health is mighty important
thing and that, il left to do as he
pleased, the child will suffer the
consequences

Johnson relative to the temperance
situation in Egypt and more will be

OF these reports already published,

He emphasizes the fact that the
Egyptians themselves are eager lor

is discussed the possibility OF the in

on the activities of the American

an infringement of the Capitulations,

MORE LIGHT ON THE BOOZE
QUESTION

More than $1,000 letters have been
received in response to the Prize offer
which leads the editor to say that it
was not the $1,000 prize to be won
that brought the tlood.-thc Box peace
prize OF 100000 had no greater re-
sponse-it was because OF a great
anxiety over disrespect of law and a
sincere desire 10 find solution to a
fundamental problem
OF the seven letters printed this
week. four are in favor OF prohibition
and three against. One OF the OPP
posers cites the number OF medical
prescriptions for liquor that have been
obtained from physicians in Massa-
chusetts and filled by drug stores,
100000, as evidence that the state has
ALLOWED the physicians whole lot OF
liberty with the prescription blanks
and the old soaks got their booze with
in the law, as far as the purchase OF
it is concerned"
One of the writer's in favor thinks
that where enforcement is not merely
theory or a principle but a job, 1t
succeeds, and she cites examples where
the people have been EDUCATED to en-
force prohibition and where they have
not. Give prohibition time to awaken
public sponsibilty,' she says, land
it will become as necessary as public
education and police or FIRE protec-
ton
Another letter closes with this
paragraph:
| am no politician or reformer. just
an old woman who has watched the
liquor traffic and its resultant evils
from various angles for many years
just a mother who for the sake of her
own children and other children thanks
the Almighty that prohibition has
come and coma to stay.
An excellent letter from a laboratory
pathologist presents an opinion from
a purely scientific basis:
From a comparison OF the reports
OF autopsies, biopsies, and chemical
and microscopic diagnoses made in
nearly ten thousand cases before pro-
hibition with rather more than five
thousand cases since prohibition, | am
compelled to believe that prohibition
has resulted in an improved moral and
physical condition OF the people OF this
vicinity.

THE quictest and dricst Christmas
holiday in the history OF prohibition
was recorded in Denver yesterday ac-
cordng to federal dry officials when
not a single raid married the atmos-
phere of celebration which prevailed.
But few arrests of alleged Nolstead
violators were reported. The whole

their customers which has in the past
marked the annual holiday was notice
able by its absence"
Reasons for this condition as given
by Divisional Prohibition Director
Robert A. Kohloss, were the scarcity
of real or quasi bonded whisky, in ad-
dition to the mora common and dan
gerous variety OF white mule" the
general atmosphere of sobriety and de-

law in this respect and the fear of long

trials of such cases in the federal dis

Kohloss declared; "The splendid

BRITISH RUM
RUNNER is SEIZED

The second rum-runner flying the
British flag captured in the Gull Of
Mexico within two months was taken
on the morning OF January off San
Luis Pass, near Galveston, Texas, by
customs men on the boarding launch
Kalta, assisted by coast guards.
The ship is the Muricl L. Winters.
The clearance papers found on the
craft showed that 4.250 cases OF as
sorted liquor had been in the cargo
when the vessel cleared from Nassau
TO Tampico.
Indications showed to the officials
that the cargo had been preached, as
the freehold was virtually empty.
However, the officials believed that
there remains enough liquor on board
to make it the greatest haul thus far
effected off the coast OF the United
States.
