patch, carrying a Stockton, California,
dateline of January 81, San Joaquin coun-
ty prohibition officers have adopted rul-
ing by Guard c. Darrah, district attorney,
holding that beverages containing a max
imum of 1873 per cent alcohol by volume
are Notwithstanding in fact"
The ruling henceforth will govern the
enforcement of liquor laws in this county,
officials declared The opinion, written at
the request of Sheriff Harvey M O'Dell,
said United States courts had set 1873 per
cent by volume as the maximum amount
of alcohol a beverage could contain and
be notwithstanding in fact.
Mr. Darrah's opinion held that wines
were legal if manufactured and used eX-
clusiVely in the homes Of the makers.

THE OLD TIME SALOON RETURNED
The government was finally convinced
that referendum was needed and a vote
on beer by the glass was taken, June 20,
1924. In spite Of the fact that this pro-
poS2l was defeated by q provincial ma
jority Of 1889, beer parlorS We're legalized

opening of what has proved to be slightly
modified form of the saloon in many parts
of British Columbia.
Some idea Of these beer parlors can be
cleaned from the following extract from a
report by the British Columbia Prohibi-
ton Association:
Beer by the glass has brought back
the saloon in another form where men
and women sit at the tables by the
hour and drink. This has restored the
pernicious treating system (Which was
not to return), re-introduced private
interests in the business with the
Tcensee promoting the sales, provided
loaf1ng place for the idle and vicious
and the centre of corrupt politics.
Recent investigation reveals the fact
that the beer parlors for the most
part are dirty, poorly ventilated, foul
smelling, unsanitary, and frequented
by disorderly and undesirable persons.
Thus we see growing out of the much
boosted government control system what
is virtually the old saloon, with its saw

odor, degraded patrons and high-powered

beer. All liquor is manufactured by pri-
vate interests in British Columbia; but
the distillers have a steady and lucrative
market due to the fact that they have
but one customer-the government. The
brewers, on the other hand, must. for the
most part, create their own market. which
they are proceeding to do with a ven
geance.
Never satisfied, these Temperance" adj
vocates are constantly attempting to in
itiate TO the benefits Of the saloon such

prohibit the sale of beer by the glass. 4

city of Victoria, the vote being taken Jan
uary "A, 1881. Victoria has apparently
been keeping an eye on Vancouver and
other saloon districts of the province as
she emphatically crushed this latest at
tempt OF the brewers TO promote temper
ance by increasing the consumption Of
beer.
Even the newspapers of the province,
most of which were loud in their condem-
nation of the prohibition Of sale are ad-
uniting the weaknesses Of a system under
which the saloon and the saloon interests
are becoming more greedy and dominant
every year. For example the Daily Prop
271ce, (VancouVer) mot a dry paper-in
commenting upon the sale of beer by the
glass, stated:
1--WE thought we had made John Barley
corn respectable rigging him out in store
clothes, and setting him decently at
table instead of allowing him to lean
against bar, in his customary CRIME and
disrepute, but the old reprobate seems to
have double crossed us, dirty sinister,
menacing as ever. He is leering at us
again, and in his leer is more than sus-
picion of triumph, for it is well known
that he has plans afOOt for poisoning our
public life and besmirching our good
name To put it briefly, beer is once more
taking an interest in politics and there is
good reason to believe. that politics is not
uninterested in beer The situation is dis
turbing, for the unholy alliance of liquor

The vets claim that they have deserted

brewers will once again cast covetous eyes
on the best corners of our cities.

Back at the hotel Sue searched her bags until she found an eve- ming dress that Corrinne had given her one day. A string of beads and some slippers were there too. She put them in a box, rang. the porter's desk, and asked to havo the package wrapped. When It was ready she addressed 1t to Cor rinne and mailed 1t. Now Cor rinne would see that she didn't want her clothes.
 All the time that she was walk ing across the hotel lobby some- thing in her that was hard llke flint, and as unyielding, was struggling with something that was deeply, grievously hurt. She and Corrinne were fighting! They had always prided themselves on being different than most sisters. Above petty conhcists. And now each one wanted to hurt the other.
 It couldn't be real, she kept thinking. Why, she had always helped Corrihne. All their inter. ests were bound up together. But it was true. Corrinne hated her now. She didn't want anything more to do with her. She was de- liberately having a party that night So she could omit Sue.
 A car went down the street. Long and low and fast. Corrinne was at the wheel. Sarah sat next to her. Grace was on the outside. They were laughing gaily. Hap pily. Sue tossed her head a little higher. She knew Corrinne had seen her. Had wanted her to feel like n Cinderella sort of person who hadn't been invited to tho party. Her lips twisted into n smile. Corrinne was being very childish.

If you have egg yolks left from cake e-making, you can save them from going to waste by making up batch of noodles. Noodles of any sort are valuable addition to the emergency shelf but the home made sort especially are considered a treat. Since it's a good iden to make enough for several meals at one time, add, one or two whole eggs to the yolks in order to in- crease the quantity and quality of the noodles. One tablespoon water is always added for each egg yolk Noodle soup makes an excellent winter luncheon dish.

Noodles served in the clear dinner soup should be boiled in salted water and drained before adding to the pre- pared meat stock.

 So did the hostesses of the group. These Good Taste girls had been talking to Lois ond Nancy. What shall we do with them after they have had refreshments? Shall we play bridge, or will they go home. or will they have some games ready to suggest ?" t
 Nancy advised the hostesses to have games ready. She cautioned against trusting to the inspiration of the moment when 1t came to entertaining. .a4

The next time you make that perfect Cupid's bow on your mouth with your lipstick, part your lips when you finished and smile for the lady looking into the glass. Are your teeth perfectly lovely and are your tongue and gums nice and pink?
 If you swoke so much that your mouth feels wooly, an excel lent thing to do before retiring, even before sitting down to read. Is to gargle Q half tumbler of hot water with scant teaspoonful of perborate of soda dissolved in 1t. It tastes even woolier than your mouth, but the after-effect is nice, clean, clear feeling.
 There are many different kinds of instruction handed out gratis for washing your teeth. No single list of instructions is good for everybody. If your teeth are soft and inclined to go bad on you, in spite of orange juice, graham toast and lettuce, do not get hard tooth brush. Use u soft one, use 1t easily, often, and when you fln- lsh, massage your gums with your finger, either dipped in salt water or moistened with little tooth paste.
 The best way to keep your mouth free from those inter-teeth cavities that detract from the sweet breath" everybody wants Is the daily use of dental floss. It takes time, But practically any thing worth while takes time and In the long run you save time and money, in the dentists chair.
 You can take this and that for your breath and you can clean your teeth and gargle until the robins return in the spripgtime. But if your system Is not eliminat- ing properly, your breath is likely to be sour, strong and unpleas- ant. You shouldn't walt until your best friend tells you. If you are not eliminating properly, and properly means daily evacuation or twice daily for most normal people, you should do something about It. Exercise, simple food, plently of sleep are the usual rec ommendatlons. And regular routine followed religiously each day is invaluable.
