and observance and private and State
| cooperation, the revision of the eight
zenith amendment should take the form
of making it more flexible, so that there
can rest in the Congress the power to
meet changing conditions and differing
situations in different localities. This
can be done in such way as to prevent
the return of the saloon, as to control
the importation, transportation and
manufacture of intoXicants, as to de-
Stroy the profits of law violation, as to
protect those communities where abSo-
| lutte prohibition is the will of the people,
| as to promote temperance nationally
and at the same time to keep the Gov
eminent, both Federal and State, out
| of the liquor business. 1t cannot be
that the genius of American people is
problem. In dealing with the great eco
nomic questions presented by transpor-
tation and finance they have evolved
| satisfactory methods of control. The
conditions encountered there were no
| less intricate and were involved in no
fewer difficulties and divergent view
| points than exist regarding liquor.
What has once been done can be done
again.
Progress Believed Made.
With a flexible constitutional amend
ment it will always be possible to enact
such legislation as will meet the then
existing situations, and not leave the
Federal Government handicapped, as il
is now. by too rigid a constitutional
straitjacket.
Though the eighteenth amendment
has not produced all that some may
have dreamed it might, yet the fact
should not be overlooked that it has
marked a long step forward 1t is now
time to take the next step in the same
direction. To stand still now would
mean final loss of all that has been so
far gained.
The alternative to progress can only
be notification and the consequent ulti-
mate destruction of organized repre-
sentative authority. No constitutional
mandate can be permitted to become a
| mere brutum fulmer.

 Vegetable juice cocktails are popular and one of the easiest first courses to serve, yet many house. keepers overlook their possibilities. The finest hotels and restaurants include them among first course appetizers and they are just as practicable for home use.
 As in any appetizer, careful sea. soning Is of great importance. Lemon juice or a fine favored vin- egar, sugar, salt, sometimes Q mere suspicion of spice, drop of onion juice, 6 suggestion of celery and a hint of pepper = one. all or part of these seasonings can be added to almost any vegetable flavor with appetizing effect.
 Though chilling an attrac. tive serving also are essential. While the cocktail must be per- fectly smooth and "drinkable," 1t need not be of e watery consist ency. For instance, strained or- ange juice has bit more sub stance than clear water and Is pleasantly smooth with Q consist ency ideal in . cocktail.
 Tomato juice and sauer kraut juice are rather commonly used, but other vegetables can be suc- cessfully manipulated, too. Cam ned vegetables or fresh ones are equally good and there Is no waste or loss of vitamin or mineral con. tent when the juice as well as the solid vegetable is used.
 Juices May Be Combined
 Combinations of vegetables can be worked out with satisfactory results. Color as well as flavor Is often improved when the juices are combined. A strong juice such as caulitlower Is toned down by the addition of a mild juice such as green beans, while a deli- cately favored juice such as peas is given piquancy and color by the addition of beet and celery Juices.
 Vegetables which are wanted quite dry for dressing for the ta- ble offer less difficulty for the cook if she need not cook away every drop of liquid. When the used in another meal as q cock tail, nothing is wasted and the cook can relax her cat-like vigilance of the last few minutes of the cooking
 The water in which celery Is cooked, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, broccoli, carrots and mushrooms and the juice from canned vegetables are made pi- quant and stimulating by proper seasoning.
 Of course, the same vegetable should not appear twice in Q meal. Serve the cocktail one day and keep the vegetable, closely cov- cred and on ice, until the second day. If the juice is kept over for the following day 1t, too, should be stored closely covered.
 Be sure not to let the flavor be- come. weak and vague. Let one vegetable predominate and season to that end. Make the seasoning snappy and remember that very cold foods require more season. ing than warm foods. Crisp salt. cd crackers and the little cheese wAfsrs available at all food shops are inviting to serve with veget- able juice cocktails.

 Milk, fruits and vegetables are your best ''standbys." Your family will be. better fed and much hap pier for getting back to bit of normal living.
 There will be plenty of roast duck, sweetbreads, turkey and filet of mignon on the party menus, 50 you can safely and wisely use egg dishes instead.
