PROHIBITION IN PORTO RICO.
(The Conneaut News Herald

The effects of prohibition in Porto Rico
are most unsatisfactory, Financially the
island has not benefited. because an
annual revenue of 81 600, 600 has been
cut off, and the cost Of the enforcement
of the law is large.... Foreign trade is
seriously damaged as the VoIstead en-
forcement act, with its provision that no
vessel could enter American waters with
alcoholic beverages on board. drove most
of the foreign steamers away, because
they could not foregO their own countries
liquor export trade for the sake of the
relatively small trade with Porto Rico,
and though the act has since been alter
ed, they have not come back. The
effect of prohibition on the morals of the
population is no less discouraging. Be
fore prohibition the people had a great
deal Of respect for all law and particular
ly for Federal laws, violations being very
rare: since, however, the people have
grown used to violating prohibition, res
pect for the Federal laws has been con
siderabIy impaired, the law being openly
defied by otherwise most honorable PEG

Men Who Manage Our EN-

BY AN IMPERIAL TRAVELLER

BY AN IMPERIAL TRAVELLER.
A couple of dozen men were to be seen
on tuesday morning co|nverging upon the
Colonial Office in Downing street about
whom an observant passer-by might have
noticed a vague physical resemblance.
They nearly all have a sallOw. desiccated
look. Their frames are mostly spare, with
the l|eanness of active, open air men, their
eyes lack IustIe and their temples are
wrinkled and topped by grizzied, dried
up hair.
No one recognized these men-nor would
their names have any significance for the
ordinary Briton did be chance to hear
them.
Yet these inconspicuOus figures are the
kingpins and corner,stOnes Of much Of
the British Empire. They are the Gov
ernors and high officials Of the Crown
Colonies, and between them they admin

Britain. They have seen many of their
contemporaries die on duty-most by tr0-
pical diseases, some by sudden, fierce na-
tive uprisings whose cause remains a
mystery based on religious or tribal pas
sion.
Obscure. underpaid, with ambitions
litmited to a K, G. NJ. G. and a pension
that will just keep them at a cheap Con-
tinental hotel, these men have been CALI
ed for the first time into formal confer

Downing street, They are giving their
advice on matters affecting the peace and
prosperity of millions of human beings.
And what is mOre-they Will go out
again to the lonely, sUltry Crown Colo

its execution.
One grievance they have, though at
this Colonial Conference they will prOba~

calls the policy of importations. /" Men

London, July 8th.-The possibility of
a breakdown in the naval negotiations at
Geneva was emphasized in dispatches
from Geneva, Washington and New

quarters, is the comment Of the West

refusing parity, or forcing the pace in

agree to the British cruiser plan, which

the paper declares, there is something

argues that fruitful discussion between

wholesome as the fruit juice.
To make the jelly take the little

boil few minutes. Then pour into
jelly glasses and when 1t has become
cold you have the most delicious pure
fruit jelly you ever tasted.

CREAM PIE HAS
UNUSUAL FLAVOR
Popular Dessert Is Made of
Very Simple Ingredients.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Here Is dessert that has all the
merits of festive appearance and I'M
usual flavor, and the additional vir-
tue Of rejecting very favorably on the
housewives culinary skill. Butter
scotch cream pie Is one Of those GER
tain-to-be popular desserts that can
be made Of simple materials usually
on the pantry shelf.
The recipe below Is from the United
States Department Of Agriculture. The
chief points about making it success
fully are to cook the flour and milk
thoroughly before adding the sweet
ening and to be careful that the melt
ed butter and brown sugar become
just waxy, not caramelized. If you
like individual tarts for "dress-up"
dinner use the filing in that way in
stead Of making a whole pie. The fill
ing is also good served as pudding
with cream, plain or whipped.
Blend the -four and salt with the
cold milk, add to the hot milk and
cook in the double boiler for Is min
utes. Meantime cook the brown sugar
and butter until waxy, and add to the
mixture in the double boiler. Then
gradually stir in the beaten egg yolks,
and cook for few minutes, remove
from fire and add the vanilla.
Place this mixture In baked pastry
shell and when slightly set cover with
a merlngue made by adding one table
spoonful of sugar to each beaten egg
white, and a little salt and vanilla.
Place in slow oven until meringue
Is golden brown.

in diet, but pleasing flavor aids in
getting the properly selected days
foods eaten by everybody. Have
plenty Of each kind of food, well sea-

too many kinds. Point out that on
succeeding days there will be new
combinations of meat, vegetable, fruit,

each preference will be catered to in
