 army now. Drys have little money.
 Their morale has been badly shot
 by the two national conventions

 Drys are--they will tell you .pri-
 vately--counting on q backswing
 from recent anti-prohibition tide.
 Drys believe the vets are headed
 for "beer anarchy" when saloons,
 legal or illegal, will open up, and
 when generally state of open nul-
 lification and unregulated traffic
 will run riot, with corner drug
 stores selling the new 2.75 or
 per cent beer.
 They see the white ribbon army of church going mothers who were
 the backbone of the original pro-
 hibition army re-enlisting for the
 duration to save their children
 from sitting next to beer drinkers
 the corner drug store soda foaln- tain.
 That about boils down the dry position at the moment as nearly as s.tf n r.p |. al .~~ various views can be summarized. "This thing will start our money coming in again." one dry represen- tative said. Tt will be the best
 thing to wake up our people that has happened since Jim Reed left the senate. When he was going af- ter us, he was the best thing we had. Every speech he made would start new contributions coming in. The pendulum is just about ready
 t. swing back"
 These drys figure they have re- peal checkmated whether 1t is at- tempted via ratification by state legislatures or via state conven- tions.
 If by legislatures. they figure that less than 150 members of senates oG 13 states will be sufficient to block ratification.
 If, as is more probable, ratiflca- ton Is proposed by means of con- ventions, then have ready the bud get of questions recently prepared by Edward B! Dunford, Anti Saloon League general counsel. and one of the best informed lawyers in the country on prohibition law and court decisions. Each of these ques- tions suggests dilemma or raises a point on which drys might go in- to court. and tie up action. The questions are based on the fact that previous constitutional amendments were ratified by legis- latures and that the country has no experience and no law to control tho process of ratifying by con ventions.
 This dry legal authority asks: Of how many delegates should a convention consists. by what dis tricts would they be elected? Would not these and all related
 matters become a political football In each state?
 Would not wet legislatures seek | to Lerrymander the districts to give wet sections more influence and dry legislatures to give dry districts Q predominating control? Other questions ask what control to prevent corrupt practices could | be set up, ask what control to pre- vent corrupt practices could be sci up, what would be the tenure of
 delegates. and whether they could continue indefinitely in event of dis agreement.

 Paris, Nov 30.-(UP)-Premier Edouard Herrlot was determined today to block immediate debate on the debts question in the chamber of deputies, thus stalking the life of his government on the issue.
 Herri0t requested that Deputy Louis Marin's resolution demand ing virtual repudiation of debts come before the chamber Thurs day. The government will demand immediate adjournment of the de- bate and raise the question of con- fidence. If the chamber refuses to adjourn the discussion, the govern ment will fall.
 The premier was expected to in- form the finance and foreign af- fairs commissions today that he would not consider a premature and detailed exposition of terms of the French note to Washington.

City Tax Rate
 for Next Year
tcontinucd from Page 1.)

To-day's information points to a mill and one-half drop. This will bring the tax rate down to 32.5 mills. the lowest the local muni- cipal levy has been in years. Tn the first year of Mayor Frank Hayes administration the rate was AZ mills. During last year and this year the rate has been in the 34- 35 mill classification.
 The tax rate, if dropped to 32.5 for 1883. will be the lowest levy the property owners of the city have enjoyed in a few years. It will, it is felt, be a great help to the property owners of the city and will prove. further. Mayor Hayes contention that he is out to reduce the tax rate gradually by economical measures In connec- tion-with the municipal budget.
 The tax rate Is expected to be decided. formally, by the finance board by tomorrow evening. No meeting of the finance commits siOners will take place to-day.

When Your Cough Hangs On, Mix
 This at Home

For coughs due to colds, the best remedy that money could buy can easily be mixed at home. It saves money and gives you the most reliable, quick-act- ing medicine you ever used. The way 1t takes hold of stubborn coughs, giving immediate relief, is astonishing.
 Any druggist can supply you with 21a ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle, and fill up with plain gran ulated sugar syrup or strained honey. It's no trouble at all to mix, and when you once use it, you will never be with out it. Keeps perfectly and tastes good-children really like it.
 It is surprising how quickly this loosens the germ-laden phlegm, and soothes the infamed membranes. At the same time, part of the medicine is absorbed into the blood, where it ncts directly on the bronchial tubes, and helps the system throw off the whole trouble. Even those severe coughs which follow cold epidemics, are promptly ended.
 Pinex is highly concentrated com pound of Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in refined, palatable form. Nothing known in medicine is more helpful in cases of severe coughs and bronchial irritations.
 Do not accept substitute for Pine1. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.

the female breast and female gen. ital organs. Women have 100 times more cancers of the breast than men, and about four times more cancers of the genital organs.
 Cancer affects all parts of the body The stomach and liver are the most frequent seat of the dis ease, and cancers of thes organs, combined, are responsible for more than one-third of the total cancer deaths in the United States. Can cers of the female genital organs equal IA percent of the deaths. Can cers of the female intestines and rectum. combined, cause 13 per cent of the deaths. Cancers of the breast, mouth skin and other or gans are responsible for the re- mainder, in the order named.
 The word "cancer" Is commonly used to describe various kinds of malignant growths that occur in the body. Cancer begins a a single cell or group of cells which for some unknown reason starts to grow independently of the rest of the body tissues and serves no useful purpose. At first 1t is quite small and entirely local. But 1t does not remain so. AS 1t Increases in size 1t causes trouble either by spreading to- distant parts of the body, by breaking down itself and producing hemorrhages or open sores, or by discharging poisonous substances into the system. Cancers are of many kinds differing widely in their makeup and behavior.
 Some are external, some intern al, some grow rapidly, some slow ly, some spread quickly through out the body. others do not. Some are very dangerous, others are less harmful. But all possess the com mon habit of disorderly growth
 A cancer may be spread through the body in three ways: CD 1t may extend itself by growth into sur rounding tissues; CD 1t may enter a blood vessel or a ymphatic vessel and grow along inside 1t; or (0 small particles may become de- tached and be carried by a blood vessel or lymphatic to distant parts. there to grow and start new can- cers.
 Cancer almost invariably causes the death of the patient, unless 1t Is completely removed or destroyed. Although the nature of cancer IS not at present fully understood, there Is large amount of prac- tical knowledge now available TOT its prevention and It's cure.

DISCUSSING THE
 CITY WATER COST
Make System Self-Sup. porting and Fix Uni-
 form Price for All
SUBJECT NOT NEW

Talk of new water rates is be- fore the public again. This is a pretty old subject and when 1t is taken up it is hoped that 1t will be handled in manner which will leave no ground on which to base a charge Of favoritism. In a muni- cipally owned plant the only fair way to regulate the price Is to have every consumer pay the same price per cubic foot or gallon for the quantity used.
 There is no good argument in favor of making a special price for large consumers. That is all right for a gas company or other cor poration who wants to create a demand for what it has to sell. The city Is not trying to create a de- mand for water, but rather plan ming to meet a demand and make the system pay. One might talk himself tired in favor of more than one rate. but in plant owned by alt the people he would fail to convince anybody that one should pay more for water to drink, wash ih and cook with than somebody who uses 1t for commercial pur- poses and can charge the price to operating expenses. It is said that the house rates are too low. If that be so they should be advanced, but only in proportion to that charged to large consumers. There are those who claim that the low rrice should be for domestic con- sumption but 1t would be just as hard to defend that as to argue in favor of 8 special price for large consumers, so that no matter how you look at 1t the only way to regulate the price of water in community where all the rate pay CTS are stock holders in the plant ia to make the price the same per gallon to large and small consum- CTS,
