LAST MINUTE BULLETIN
Statement of the Anti Saloon
League in Regard TO Contest for
United States Senator

The chief issue in this contest is Mr..
Brennan's campaign to reach the United
States Senate on a beer and light wine
platform.
The wet forces of the country are con-
centrating their efforts on this Illinois bat
tie. If they succeed in electing Mr.. Bren-
nan, the wet fight on the Eighteenth
Amendment will be renewed with greater
vigor in all parts of the United States. If
he is defeated, the wet reactionists will re-
ceive a staggering blow and the drys all
over the country will be greatly heartened
for the continuance of the fight in antici-
patton of final aud complete success of the
prohibition policy in our country. Other
problems can not be effectively dealt with
at this election. The prohibition situation,
however, will be greatly affected by the
results. If Brennan wins, the cause OF
prohibition receives a ten-year backset. II
he is defeated, it will receive big boost
forward.
We are convinced the only way to de-
feat Brennan and boost the prohibition
candidate, Colonel Frank L. Smith. Either
Smith or Brennan will be elected. No
eleventh-hour independent candidate can
possibly win against the two powerful
party organizations. In view of this, a
vote for Magill is a half vote for Brennan.
The Brennan headquarters concede their
one chance is dependent upon the number
OF votes Magill can take from Smith.
The Anti-Saioon League insists most
earnestly that our first and chief concern
in the coming election, is the defeat OF
Brennan, and as many as possible of the
wet candidates for Congress and the Leg
islature
The Ani-Saloon Leagues advice to
voters to support Mr.. Smith under the
circumstances confronting us in the pres
ent campaign, is supported unanimously
by the Executive Committee consisting OF
the following:
Bishop Edwin E. Hughes, Bishop of the
Chicago Area Methodist Episcopal

Motor as a Road Market
Is Big Boon to Farmers

The automobile is evolving another
coon for the farmer = the roadside
market. Its potentialities are so
great that the farmers Of New Jersey
are creating a standard farmers road
side association, with the support Of
the state department of agriculture.
Last year the state had 1872 of these
roadside stands, and the income from
them was estimated at $685.
The system already has proved that
1t has great possibilities and gives
promise of solving the vexed problem
OF bringing the products of the farm
er directly to the table of the city
consumer, fresh and free of the mid
clemens toll.
The system is also winning distinct
success In Maryland, where last year
100 roadside stands did business of
$257.OOO and other states are rapidly
taking It up.
The New Jersey association will be
under the regulation of the bureau
Of markets of the state department Of
agriculture and will attempt to form
q direct contact between the farmer
and the consumer.

really wanted to take her something

very beautiful, to be sure, but nothing

wouldn't like that. What was he to

he had sandwich and soda at a

to gaze longingly in the shop windows

Traffic Chief Annoyed
by Many Sloppy Drivers

All Milwaukee traffic policemen
have been instructed to be on the
alert for what the traffic bureau de-
scribes as sloppy drivers" A sloppy
driver" according to the bureau, is
the type of driver who cares nothing
at all for the other fellows rights.
He will make left turns from the
right side of his half of the street
and right turns from the left side,
without a thought for the motorist
who happens to be following him. If
the man behind is speeding up to
pass at the time the sloppy driver"
is making a left turn in his celebrated
fashion, an accident involving injury
and possibly death is almost sure to
OCCUR
Another manner in which this type
of driver makes life miserable for his
fellow men is by hogging the road,
says the bureau.
II have noticed many drivers
straddle the right rail Of the car
tracks," said Capt Albert J. Murray.
"This ties up both lanes Of traffic"
Everything possible has been tried
in an effort to educate a motorist in
better driving, and Captain Murray
states that 1t is time to take action
which will force them to drive accord
ing to the rules of the road.

RATTLINC AUTOS

Dilapidated, High-Power
Junkers Denounced.

4 Collegiate fiivvers and their rattliny
equivalents under any other name
may have just the right amount of
verve to suit some branches Of the
younger generation, but they have too
little braking capacity to strike the
fancy of traffic officials, motor-club
leaders and others in many parts of
the country. The same goes for a
class of automobiles that has been
described as "high-powered, dilapi-
dated junkers," which right now are
coming in for some sharp denuncia-
ton.
The latest to enter the arena
against this type of car and car own
ers is the Motor Club of Indiana.
Disdain Smaller Cars.
"A certain class of motorists dis
dain smaller cars, whether new or old,
and buy machines that once were
high-priced and elegant" says Mr..
Stops. "Such cars, even In dilapi-
dated condition. still have plenty Of

"Tinkering mechanics will go to
junk yards and pick out an old auto

MT WAS his first Christmas in the
JD city. He could not afford to go
home, nor could he have gone If
he had had the money, He was clerk
In store, and had to work Christmas
Eve till ten o'clock. The last train for
his home town left at three in the
afternoon. And there was no use go
ing up on Christmas day for just an
hour; five hours each way on the
train, total fare over ten dollars, for
one hour at home; one-third of a
weeks pay! No, that would be ex-
travagance. So he had sent his mother
two pink silk nightgowns as solace
for his first absence from home on
Christmas day. He thought the night
gowns would delight her; she had
never had a silk one, and from the
way that silk ones were displayed in
the city shops. he was sure they were
the thing to wear. The night gowns
he had sent her, the hankies he had
sent his sisters, and the ties for his
brothers. had completely emptied his
pockets. He always had been gener-
GUS, but he enjoyed depriving himself
for the happiness of others. His gen.
erosity this time, however, had gone
too far, for he had nothing left with
which to buy a gift for Mrs. Addison.
Mrs. Addison was young widow
whom he had met recently in the city.
She was q very beautiful woman. and
had been most kind to him. He had
already been to her small apartment
several times to have supper with her
and her jolly, foreign-acting father,
and sometimes they had all gone to a
"movie" together afterwards. But she
had never let him pay for their tickets,
and he had never done anything to
recompense her for her kindness to

~ INSIDE of infectious diseases,
" probably one of the commonest
Affections of the human body is gall
stones. On account of civilized meth
DDS of living they are commoner than
they were in primitive times. But
that they are by no means a product
of civilization is shown by the fact
that they have repeatedly been found
in Egyptian mummies as well as in
the dried bodies Of Peruvians, buried
in dry sands thousands of years ago.
The gallbladder Is a pear-shaped
sack which lies on the surface of the
liver in cleft between the lobes. It
is bound down to the liver by layers
Of peritoneum. Its pointed end Is
drawn out into long tube, the cystic
duct, which joins another tube from
the liver, the hepatic duct, the two
uniting to form the common duct,
which empties into the small intes-
tines just below the stomach.
If for any reason any part of the
tube becomes stopped up, If the gall
bladder itself becomes inflamed, then
the bladder becomes swollen and dis

Balloons on Car Tracks
Just Right for Skidding

Drivers Of cars with balloon tires
should be particularly careful when
turning in and out of car tracks. Many
of the balloon tire sizes now being
used are not immune to a rail skid.
When balloons were first introduced
it was the rule to demonstrate them
with the larger sizes and with lower
pressures than are advisable for eco
nomical service. The larger sizes will
not catch in car tracks, even II the lat
ter are in rather bad condition. The
same may be said Of some Of the
smaller sizes when underinfiated. The
best policy is to drive ones car in ac-
eordance with the sizes Of the tires
used and the pressures carried. rather
than on basis of past performances
with other sizes underinflated.

~ NE Of the bitterest sorrows that
~ can affiict the boy or girl Of the
high-school age Is a poor complexion.
Probably more mental anguish has
been caused by pimpies on the face
than by any other cause. And, sad to
say, pimples or acne, as dernatolo
gists call It, is more common from
fourteen to eighteen than at any other
time in life. 1t reaches It's peak at
eighteen, gradually Fades away In the
twenties and usually disappears by
thirty. But by that time the girl Ia
married and the boy has business wor-
ries, SO that muddy complexion is
not the acute tragedy 1t Is at eighteen

being supposed to be due to "impuri-
ties" in the blood. for which sarsapa-
rilla was the sovereign remedy. But
the real cause lies In the skin itself.
There are In the skin several differ
emit kinds Of glands. The oil glands
or sebaceous glands, as they are
called. keep the skin soft and supple.
by secreting oil, which is discharged
on the skin through tiny oil ducts.
Naturally. persons with thick, oily
skin or those who eat large quantities
of fat-producing food produce the
largest quantities of oil.
AS long as these little oil ducts are
kept open the oil flows out on the
skin. This keeps the skin oily, as
many a schoolgirl knows when she
powders her nose to remove the shiny
appearance. But If the oil is thick.
and so tends to choke up the oil ducts.
or II SCOT, dirt or powder unite to
form a thick paste with the oil, then
the ducts become stopped up and
''blackheads" form. The oil forming
behind these plugs cause the skin to
swell and turn red and little pimples
to form. Taking medicine internally
is of no use. What is needed is ex-
ternal treatment which will open up
the clogged duets.
The best treatment is the good old
fashioned one Of soap and water
soap to dissolve the oil in the plugs
closing the ducts, water to wash away
the oily dirt and to cleanse the skin.
But the skin Of the face is not made
Of hard wood. You can't scrub it like

but not irritated.
Regular frequent washing Of the
