LIQUOR TRAFFIC'S GRIP ON
ENGLAND

On November 5, there occurred in Lon
don, the annual meeting of the "True
Temperance Association" one of the
aliases used by the British liquor interests
in defending their trade" At this meet
ing, Rev. Arthur Day was one of the
speakers. He is quoted in the Morning
Advertiser, the chief organ of the liquor
interests as declaring that "if public
house was conducted on really worthy
lines, he should claim that it had right
to stand longside the village church 1t
was serving real useful, wholesome, and
almost HOLY purpose"
Think of a preacher urging that grog
shop be opened next door to his own
church! 1t is an indication of the grip
that the traffic has upon England

VOLSTEAO'S VIEWS

Tn the opinion of Andrew J. Volstead.
author of the national enforcement act.
prohibition has shown great forward
strides in the eleven years of its operation,
and has resulted in greatly improved con-
ditions Volstead declares, IT am still for
prohibition" Then he goes on to say, amy
one who can not see a vast difference in
conditions in the last eleven years has q
very short memory. Before prohibition, all
sorts of DRINKS could be seen on the street
cars and even on trains. Now you seldom
ever see drunk. OF course, enforcement
never will succeed in stamping out every
drop of liquor. The law always will be
broken just like any other law, but any,
thing that improves conditions is success
full"

DEATHS FROM ALCOHOLISM ON THE
DECLINE
The Wetter the Area the Higher
the Death Rate

A review of the latest figures of the CEN
suS bureau on the deaths flo l alcoholism
for 1929. with rates based upon population
estimates Of the 1880 census, reveals the
following facts:
Cd The 1929 alcoholism death rate for
all registration states shows a marked de-
crease from that of 1924 decrease from
d per 100000 in 1923, to 81 in 1929
90 The 1929 rate of 81 is large de-
crease from the annual prohibition
period average d910-1916), 81.
90 By geographical divisions, the de-
crease from 1928 in the alcoholism death
rate was most marked in the Atlantic and
the southern sections. The mountain states
show large increase due to the rate of
26.6 in Nevada for 1929; however, this rate
is based upon only "a deaths in that state.
"a In no year since national pronibi-
ton has the death rate from alcoholism
reached that of any year of the years
prior to 1913 when the war began to re-
duce the consumption of liquor
CD In southern states, where the oppo-
sition of newspaper propaganda is less
pronounced, the death rate is the lowest.
Opposition to prohibition seems inevitably
to lead to an increase in the deaths from
alcoholism.
Comparison by the geographical di-
visions is as follows:

Wanted, some. new ideas for the church bake sale! Are you one or those self-defacing church workers or committee-women who echo tnls request because you think your old standbys in foodstuffs have run the gamut of popularity? Or IS II tne approach of spring that urges you to new quests in the culinary art:
 Housewives are talking and work ing in food terms of consistemcs, texture, flavor and economy. They are using the dishes that have peen the heritage of the women or the'r family, but they are putting them together in 1891 style. For instance their grandmothers, even tnen mothers, often had to abandon tneir plans for making their favorite cake for the church sale because they did not have any sour milk on hand and there was no time to sour II. Today the modern housewife makes a better cake by souring the milk in a jiffy-she adds q tables. spoon of vinegar to q, cupful or evaporated milk. Which all brings us to the discussion of this indis- form of milk for baking. 1t gives an excellent flavor and pro

more brides knew that, there would be fewer bridegroom glowers to bring on brides showers of tears. Everyone wants to help a little bride so here's good dish to start the day with, and the menu for the rest of the breakfast, too, for good measure:

It won't hurt him. And. for the rest of the breakfast, have whole wheat cereal with raisins. cornmeal cakes with syrup. and a hot beverage. Then watch hubby smile.
 Vacuum Packed.
 There's just one point you should be careful about in the hot beverage for modern breakfasts. and that Is to have it vacuum packed. Whether you are providing hubby with a product without caffein which still gives him the coffee taste or with the real coffee which is now the national drink of Amer ica, you should buy 1t in the vacuum packed cans which have kept out the oxygen. For the action of oxygen Is what hurts coffee and cof- fee products. When oxygen comes in contact with them, they lose flav- or and aromat at a rapid rate.s

Single Course Suppers Easy to Prepare and Not Elaborate

 When we entertain. deciding upon the men for the party supper Is an important problem--and often a puzzling one. suppers planned for late in the evening should be com posed of interesting and unusual food; yet, for the sake of the hos tess, they should be easy to serve and require very little last minute preparation. Your guests, too, would prefer that you serve some thing light and simple, for most people realize that 1t is not wise to eat an elaborate meal too near bed time.
 The wise hostess solves this prob- lem by limiting her refreshments to one course. This may be q salad, a rarebit, waff1es, or dessert and cof- fee but she serves only one course.
