means safe security. Companies

redeem them In United States gold

gold coin issued by the United States
treasury at the time the bonds are

The Mint's Side1ines

The United States minis make 9TH
er objects besides coins. All of the
medals for the army and navy are
turned out by the mints. Medals Of
all the Presidents, the Secretaries OF
the Treasury, the Directors of the
MINIS, have been designed and exc
cuted by the minis. Recently the
mints inaugurated the practice of
making medals of the Under Secreta-
ries of the Treasury. Congress has
authorized the mint to make up 10000
medals to commemorate the arrival Of
the first shipload of Morse immigrants
on board the sloop Restaur Ationen,
which is to be celebrated at the Morse
American Centennial in Minnesota
next summer.
At the last session of Congress
there was a food of bills seeking to
have commemorative half dollars
minted. The prior session authorized
the minting Of the Hnguenot half dol
lars and of 100000 half dollars to
signalize the start of work on the
Stone Mountain carving, which will
serve as a monument to the valor OF
the soldiers of the South. On the Fed
eral coins appear Generals Lee and
Jackson. the two leaders of the Con-
federate forces in the Civil War.

Fearing that the growth of this

the creation of these special coins, but
was not entirely successful in his eff
forts. He insisted that the practice
introduced confusion into our system
of coinage, brought about an unneces-
sary expense and satisfied very linn
tied demand because the public gen.
orally has never shown a special lik-
ing to the commemorative coins.
However, Congress felt that these
great events were worthy of commem-

About Jour
HEALTH
Things You Should Know
The Stomach's Rest Hours

Natures laws-which are really
Gods laws, are infallible in either
reward for obedience or penalty
for disregard.
Digestion is a wonderful process
which acts independently of our
will. In man, this most important
chemical laboratory operates only
in daytime, as is true in lower ami
mails. Digestion ceases with the
oncoming of night. Digestion "goes
to bed early" in order that other
important work may be carried on
during sleeping hours. This is
true of all animal creation. To
try to awaken digestion in the
night is a dangerous violation of
both natural and divine law. The
penalty is sure.
Man cannot maintain his
strength without protein. These
are animal and vegetable, and are
taken as food. Until acted upon
by mans digestive fluids, they are
unfit to enter his circulation, and If
absorbed undigested, are active poi

are absorbed, whether digested or
not. Fancy all the juices of heavy
six-o'clock dinner being thrust in
to the blood stream without proper
digestion in the stomach No won
der the victim is stupid, and with
out appetite next morning. No
wonder the "no-breakfast" plan!
The merciless, invisible foe in this
chapter is THE FASHIONABLE
SIX O'CLOCK DINNER! This de-
fance of natural law is building
blood pressures all over our land,
hardening arteries, and producing
all manner of liver and kidney dis
eases. Apoplexy-cerebral hemor-
rhage-the death certificate reads.
Killing more men at fifty to sixty
five than cancer! Traced back to
the six o'clock dinner in the vast
majority of instances! Those who
persist in this defiance of the laws
of health are certainly reaping
consequences. This sort of crime
is never unpublished.

Many Despair Of
Enforcement of Law
NATIONWIDE POLL SHOWS U. S.
STILL WET-THlNKS LAW
CAN BE ENFORCED

| The big city newspapers will this
week be filled with news stories and
editorials concerning the liquor con
ditions, or prohibition enforcement in
the United States. The basis for their
articles is the, current Golfers Ma
! tional Weekly announcement of the
final vote in it's nationwide poll which
shows that America is still wet, des-
pite almost six years of attempted Fed
eral control
Three questions we're asked in a
face to face inquiry throughout the
country with 263, 583 men and women
in American homes. They were:
No. 1. Are you satisfied with {Pro.
hibition) conditions as they are?
No. 2. Is the law enforced in your
locality
No. 3. If not, do you consider the
law enforceable?
OF the 2s3,583 asked these questions
by 100 bonded representatives opera
ting in all states.
$50 per cent say Motley are not
satisfied with conditions as they are.
61.2 per cent say NO-the law is not
enforced in their localities.
6O.9 per cent say YES they consid
er the law enforceable in their locali-
ties.
So while ''Booze-is the Victor as
Golfers proclaims, there is a major
ity which believes that the prohibition
law can be enforced.
Studying the table of votes in the
big cities it would seem that we are
expecting too much; because Wash
ington, wherefrom is to come our re-
lief, is shown to be Americas wettest
city
7 1922 per cent say Motley are not
satisfied; 3D. per cent say, no the
law is not enforced 68 per cent say
NO-the law cannot be enforced-in
Washington.
These votes are made more impress
sive when compared to Denver, Col,
which shows up in this poll as being
the dryest city in America. Only SO
per cent out in Denver are dissatisfied
with present conditions, 81 per cent
say the law is not enforced there; and
only the very small number 17.9 per
cent think that the law is not enforce
able
The vote does show, that the driest
states are those which had statewide
prohibition many years before FEEDER
al prohibition went into effect, Jan. 16
1920. There are "a such states. Kan
sas, Colorado and Maine now lead as
the driest. In the case of Maine, the
vote is surprising, because every
other Atlantic seaboard state is among
the wettest group as shown by the
vote.
1T is obvious from the results of
this inquiry" conclude Golfers that
America is still wet;
This newspaper wishes to point out
that SO long as 60.9 per cent of the
people believe that the prohibition
law can be enforced that it can and
will be, done.
We admit, that if the Collier poll
is at all accurate, there "still is much
work for the plumber
The tables of votes in cities and
states as printed in Golfers are very
interesting and should be studied by
all because as pointed out, they show
what a fix we are in'-whether it
be progress or failure;

the reader is Wet or Dry.
