Washington, Mar. 6. R-Only in one geographic division-the Middle Atlantic, containing Pennsylvania New York and New Jersey--has the death rate from alcoholism equalled III any single year the average death rate from alcoholism i'll the same states during the seven years inn mediately preceding wartime re- striction on the sale of liquor, de- clares the Board of Temperance. Prohibition and Public Morals Of the Methodist Episcopal church.
 It reaches the conclusion after q six month survey covering the re- lation between prohibition and mortality. the results of which were made public today.
 In every geographic division but the Middle Atlantic, it says, the death rate has decreased largely, the smallest decrease being in the South Atlantic division, containing the state of Maryland.
 ''It is evident that the unfavor- able showing of the Middle Atlantic and South Atlantic geographic di- visions is due to the hostility of public officials and propag ganda against the law" says the board. "In the state of New York the death rate per 100000 from alco- hoiism in 1926 was : as compared to 3:9 for all registration states. while in Maryland. which also has a governor hostile to the law and where many agencies os public opinion are opposed, the rate is 7:G."
 'The alcoholism rate of the Mid- dle Atlantic states for 1926 is l'3 per cent of the average for the wet period. 191o-ls. for the same geo. graphic division, but the South At- lantic division which stands next has an index of only S4 and the index for all registration states, based upon the 1910-1916 average with an index of 100. is only 75.
 "The deplorable results of agita- ton against the law is further i1- dicated by the fact that the Middle Atlantic division, which shows an index of 113 in 1926, had an index of only 2l in 1920, the first prohi- bition year, SO that the present situation is due to the systematic destruction of the very real bene- fit conferred by prohibition.
 But if the so-called metropoli- tan area has traded its heritage for political pottage. the same can- not be said for other parts of the country. The East North Central division has an index for 1926 of only Ss the West Central 6?. the East South Central 5s, the Moun- tain states 32. and the Pacific states 46.
 "A comparison of the rate Of deaths from alcoholism and of deaths from cirrhosis of the liver, which is almost invariably caused by alcoholic consumption, indicates that the latter has been more uni- formly reduced under prohibition. due perhaps to the fact that 1t h essentially chronic and not acute. The index rates for the various areas for the year 1926 are: New England, ~: Middle Atlantic. 71: East North Central. 65: West North Central. 66; South Atlantic. 3s: East South Central. S5: West South Central. 77; Mountain. 3s: Pacific. 73: and for all registration states it is ST."
 The conclusions of the survey will be published by the board in a book. The White Book of Pro- hibition," and will be followed by other surveys on prohibition.

RECIPES FOR
TAPIOCA

Tapiocas long famiIiaF as ~
dessert, has recently assumed q
unique significance In cookery.
Because of its singular physical
properties. tapioca Is able to hold
together the particles cf air and
moisture and keep them inside
the mixture, whereas, without
tapioca. these particles are easily
separated and scattered. Add
tapicoa to beaten-egg mixtures.
such All omelets and souffles, and
they do not fall: use 1t in meat
loaf or croquettes and the ingredi-
ents do not dry out in the cook
ing; mix it with soft sandwich
filings and the moisture does
not soak into the bread: sprinkle
it over berry pie Filings before
baking and the juices do not boil
over.
Tapioca is capable OF absorbing
and holding large amounts Of nois-
fure. This explains the soft tex
ture of croquettes. the fluffiness
of omelets and souffles, and the
succuIence Of sandwich filings
made with tapioca. In all recipes
the finely granulated quick cook
Ing tapioca must be used.
Salmon Croauettes with Tapioca
Three tablespoons tapIoca. half

IT may be, George, as your

feel a twinge of jealousy. This is

AS babies we cry for the moon,

CARING FOR

The proper care of sterling silver
is really an easy matter. Remem-
Der that it is solid; it will not
wear off: therefore, use it as much
as possible-no better method of
cleaning has ever been found.
Flat wear furnishes less if it is
kept in a. rack in a dining-room
drawer which is well brushed out
from time to time.
Wash sterling with a cloth in
hot soapy water. rinse thoroughly
In clear hot water, and wipe dry
with an absorbent dish towel
while the pieces are still warm.
Constant use and washing will
effectually prevent tarnish.

What Doctors Think
of the
Laxative Habit

in all history, no Indian was ever
known to have constipation. Nor
need YOU. He chewed the bark of
tree called cascara. Today. we
have the candy Cascaret.
Cascarizing the bowels never
forns laxative habit. II already
formed, an occasional Cascaret will
usually break the habit. For cas-
cara strengthens the muscular walls
of the bowels, and their need of any
aid at all grows constantly less.
What other cathartic has this char.

none.
An evacuation brought gently
