A grubby person known as Smitty

odd Jobs and in rush hours helped to

He had been born on Cherry hill,

the home maker, the surprise guest.
Every woman has had the experience
of welcoming an unexpected visitor
when supplies were at low ebb ana
has searched high and low to find
something presentable to put on the
table. The emergency shelf in the
pantry does away with such worries In
short order
A can opener and-presto-a veri-
table banquet can be prepared In a
few minutes. The housewife may
have her choice of many excellent
meats, corn. tomatoes, mushrooms. II
she is short of milk or cream. a can
of evaporated milk, which Is simply
fresh cows milk sterilized in the can
and with sixty per cent of the water
removed will do the trick. In fact she
may have two hundred or more sayory
dishes ready to her hand.
When the surprise guest does ar
rive the hostess naturally wishes to be
hospitable She doesn't want to be tied
to the kitchen range half the after
noon. She wants to entertain as she
has been entertained
II isn't possible IL she nas to phone
frantically for the butcher the grocer
and the baker.
But that's only one OF the places
where the emergency pantry comes
in. Backed by well-stocked emer-
gency shelf. the wife can get together
splendid luncheon or dinner in a
jiffy. The spontaneous wish that
comes at the last moment to informal
ly invite few friends for lunch can
be gratified at once with the aid Of
the new pantry.
Afternoon tea for the bridge club
is an equally easy matter. A glass OF
preserves or jelly. platter Of bread
and butter. tea, and dish of cookies
VIII meet the ordinary demands Of
the casual caller and a can of evap-
GRATED milk will answer the milk or
cream need.

becoming more effective steadily and that
violations of the principle and spirit of
prohibition is steadily growing less.
RESOLVED:
That we respectfully call attention of
educational leaders of our State to the
statutes which provide for the teaching in
the public schools of the effects OF alcohol
upon the human body, and request them
to see that this provision OF the statute
is not ignored by those who have the edit
cation of our young people in charge.
RESOLVED:
That we urge our Anti-Saloon League
officers and field workers to study ways
and means of charging the educational
program of the League and that special
effort be made to bring an understanding
of the prohibition policy and its purpose
for the general good, to the minds of the
multtudes of foreign citizens in Our large
cities and the remote and neglected dis
tricts of the rural sections of our State.
Inasmuch as tWenty-siX denominations
and six other statewide religious and re-
form organizations elect each year THEFT
respective quotas of trustees Of the Anti
Saloon League of Illinois, and these re-
sponsible representatives, with the mem
bers at large, make a company of one
hundred and three persons, and inasmuch
as this group, widely representing all parts
of the State, meets twice each year for an
a1l-day conference to receive reports, to
adopt policies, consider the methods and
work Of the Anti-Saloon League of Ilii-
nois, and inasmuch as this duly elected
delegated body is responsible to the de-
nominations and other bodies it thus au-
thoritatively represents, and inasmuch as
it has created by due legal process an Elk
ecutive Committee which is an incorpo-
rated body to carry out its policies and
execute the plans of the said Board of
Trustees of the Anti-Saloon League OF
Illinois;
RESOLVED: That each denomination
or other Society, through its own quota of
representatives on the State Board of
Trustees, be assured that it may at any
time in special or regular meeting, propose
changes in the policies and methods OF
the Anti-Saloon League of Illinois.

situation that we take pleasure in repro

It's Position Supported
We believe that the following by 7. r.
Willard expresses the views of a large
number of voters of the county:
To the Republican-Register:
'Tn view of the result of the recent IL
inois election no one could blame the An
ti-Saloon League of the state if it should
appropriate the saying OF our Lord, Wis
dom is justified of all her children The
leagues officials openly recommended the
support of Frank L. Smith rather than of
Mr.. Magill and just as openly gave their
reasons.
For this they were attacked and criti-
cized by many, some of them friends OF
prohibition, the cause for whose policy
the Anti-Saloon League officials are held
responsible.
"And now wisdom has been justified on
these, her children, not only the course
they adopted, but also their grounds for
adopting it, and they have the right to ap-
propriate the encouragement which our
Lord intended for those who persist in
right course in spite of misunderstand-
ing and criticism. For seel Mr.. Brennan,
the dripping wet candidate, who declared
that vote for him was vote for light
wine and beer, was defeated by majority
of 1868, and there should be added the
l50,485 votes cast for Mr.. Magill, since
these would not under any circumstances
have been cast for the wet candidate.
However, those who cast them have the
sorry consolation of the reflection that
they did all they could for his election.
But supposing the League leaders had
advised the support OF Mr. Magill, as their
critics demanded then we should have
seen the kA0i1= l@CdSu1 WI NAAa6
hand in hand with the vets, and the cleo
ton of Mr.. Brennan would have been al
most assured, for that would have been
the result if only II 1903 voters had taken
that advice To have secured the election
of Mr. Magill, however, would have re-
quired the transfer to his support not H.
sos voters, but of 6l7,oo7. No one in his
senses would regard such transfer as
possibility. and any attempt to induce it
would rightly be termed tragic blum
der to use the term applied to the course
of 'hesleaders of the League by a prom
inent Congregational clergyman of Chi
cago, as quoted by the public press. The
mass of the temperance voters of Illinois
did not and would not accept the leader
