Make 1t Smart to Be Legal
An Editorial

that tradition where the federal always got
his man. where crook said TO crook-"Don't
monkey with Uncle Sam
In every state where, on Dec S, liquor be-
comes legal, the answer is up to those who live
in those states. We said we wanted prohibit
ton repealed in order that its attendant evils
might be wiped out.
1t is now for every person who so expressed
himself TO prove his sincerity, so that crime
may no longer dominate, and decent citizen
ship once more prevail.
That thanksgiving in their tracks the
prietor, and every other trafncker in illegal
liquor, by the simple process of no longer
pstronizing them
To do that may be somewhat costly in some
to taxes, gives the bootlegger the advantage.
For the person who buys alcoholic bever-
ages at all, this combination problem IN eco
Monies and citizenship therefore arises-"Is
it better to save q few dollars year on a
luxury by buying from an outlaw, or to do my
part by spending those few dollars toward
freeing my country from the crime strangle
And incidentally. contributing my bit to tax
atom"
The answer, for the good citizen, should be
obvious.
To nation that likes its slogans we Sug-
gest this, for and after Dec s:
IT'S smart to be legal"

BUSINESS MEN

IN all the talk now current about need for
development of a new spirit in American
business it is important that we do not make
the mistake of judging all American business
men by the spectacle which a very few have
made of themselves
One of the great purposes of the NRA pro-
gram is 10 make possible some sort of eff
fective, broad-gauge cooperation among bust
ness and industrial units. 1t is perfectly true
that our pre-NRA system let greed go un-
checked, and that the unrestrained working
OF that greed was in no small measure re-
sponsible for the depression.
But we could not make a greater mistake

BY A Times Reader.
I wonder if this letter will be
published in your paper 1 have
been constant reader of The Times
for so many years and have read
some of the most ridiculous stuff
and some that is fair. have been
reading much about unemployed
women.
Yes, it is pitiful to see and hear
mothers who have reared large
families and shaved and toiled so
willingly to sacrifice to give them
the advantages of life. Then what
is the consequence. If by chance
this old mother is left alone she
is thrown on the world broken,
sick and often crippled from hard
work, and has to go anywhere she
can.
Now this is the point I would
like to bring out. In going down
South Emerson avenue you see the
old Butler college buildings, now
useless. Why doesn't the city, the
trustees or some one who can fix
that up and give such mothers one
or two rooms, and those who are
able to work pay as much as they
can, or if any are able financially,
let them pay what they can for
the upkeep of it.
The trustee is supposed to keep
such families. The district would
not have to be called a Slum district,
or the inmates would not have to
be made to feel like they were
dogs and just next to nothing.
Just remember the young of to-
day will be the old of tomorrow
and the precious boy or girl you
think so sweet and cute some day
will think of you as ours do of US
today. God help us. What is to
become of us? One lone woman
without a home, the mother of
eight and constant reader of The
Times. I wonder if some more poor
mothers will answer this?

Among the factors likely to lead
to pyorrhea are the following:
First, neglect of teeth and gums,
which permits germs in large num-
bers to develop in the space be-
tween the gum and the teeth
Second, irregularities of the teeth.
These cause food to collect around
the irregular places and in this
debris the germs will grow. Ordi
narily the mouth has elf-cleansing
action, but when there are crevices
which the gums, cheeks and tongue
do not control, this does not occur.
Third. tartar forms around the
neckS of the teeth and, unless re-
moved, causes irritation of the mar
gin of the gums.

forces them away from the teeth.
When the dentist examines the
mouth in such case, he finds the
condition worse in the left upper
jaw with right-hsn6ed people and
in the right lower jaw with left
handed people
A fifth cause is the Use of arti-
fetal plates, bridges and other den
lures which are not kept clean or
which fit so badly that they rub
the gums or which permit cOlleC-
ton of food and debris around the
teeth.
One of the leading dental sur
geons of England emphasizes also
as causative factors of Inflammation
of the gums the use of diet which
is too soft and the use Of a diet
which is deficient in vitamins A,
C and D, a deficiency of which COM
monty is related to disturbances OF
teeth and gums.

this is the poorest ever. Who ever

DUT the top of stepladder is
- precarlous perch. Flagpole sit
ting is an acquired avocation. and
since the world can climb no higher
in its nationalistic fervor We will
soon be done with vertical aspira-

humanity's natural instinct to ex-
plore the horizontal potentislities
of the planet.
Of course, it may be argued shat
the barriers now set to discourage
any far-f1ung fraternity among the
peoples of the world are far more
tangible than the turtles which were
dangled in the eyes of the ancient
Adventures. A tariff can be seen

Having been born a near
Methodist almost shouted,
GLORY to God!' when 1 read your
editorial of Nov. 7, headed, Religion
and the New Deal"
Now is the time for the churches
to redeem themselves from past
omission. Will they perceive the
signs Of the times? Henry George,
who was Christian after the heart
of Abraham Lincoln, wrote in The
Land Question:
IT believe that there is in true
Christianity power to regenerate
the world. But it must be a
Christianity that attacks vested
wrongs, not the spurious kind that
defends them. A religion which
allies itself with injustice to preach
down the natural aspiration of the
masses is worse than atheism"
In another book, George writes:
What is the use of a religion for
no matter what it may promise for
the next world, it can do nothing to
prevent injustice in this? What is
the use of a religion that stands
faltering in the face of the most
momentous problems?
Where shall the dignitaries Of
the church be in the struggle that
is coming may, that already is here :?
On the side of justice and liberty
or on the side of wrong and slavery?
With the delivered when the
timbrels shall sound again, or with
the chariots and the horsemen that
again shall be engulfed in the sea?"
They that have the mind of
Christ, think of others rather than
themselves. For several years past We
have been hearing of coming
spiritual revival; may it come
quickly!

comparatively small number

True enough. Yet the Mitchells and Wig

citizen as any one else.
He is not on the job for his health of

EOR nearly fifteen years this nation has
witnessed the exsltation of the smuggler
and the bootlegger.
II has seen otherwise law-abiding citizens,
by the million, in protest against sumptuary
law they sbhorred become the patrons and
thereby the allies of the smugger and the
bootlegger
1t has seen officials in every path Of public
life. city state and federal corrupted by a
vast Illicit, and tax-free industry. 1t has seen
crime, grown rich from liquor, use its riches
to broaden its operation into all manner of
allied crimes 1t has seen rscketeering flourish
and kidnapping, the most vicious offspring of
an 1ll-conceived reform now repudiated, rise to
a stature that has cast its shadow over the
entire land
Not to get liquor back-for liquor has been
with us always-but to rid the nation of those
evil by-products, was prohibition repealed.
Now, in less than a month, will come the
real test It is this: Can repeal itself be made
to succeed?
Can the nation free itself from the snug
gler, the bootlegger the racketeer and all of
their criminal kim Can respect for law be
resurrected?
Especially, can the federal government,
whose temples of justice we're turned into po-
lice courts by the communicating touch of pro-

once occupied-revered by the 1aw-sbiding and

Variety Makes The
 Food Problem Simpler
Many Ways in Which to Prepare and Serve Dried
 Beef

There may be nothing new .n foods, but there are many ways Of adding variety to our daily menus.
 Certain foods become associated with certain methods of prepara, ton because we rarely serve them in other ways. When dried beef is mentioned, don't you immediate ly think of serving it in cream sauce? No other method Of pre- pairing 1t occurs to us, because we ordinarily serve it floating fin il cream sauce. The next time you prepare creamed dried beef add some chopped green pepper to the sauce, or else add some diced car rots and peas. And instead of serving 1t on toast. serve it with baked or mashed potatoes. steamed rice, cooked macaronl or npag- hctti.
 Creole dried beef makes fl de- lightful luncheon or dinner dish. To prepare it. shred IA Ib sliced dried beef and add cup tomatoes tot fl. Then add tablespoons grated cheese, tablespoon onion juice and 1-8 teaspoon cayenne. Melt 9 tablespoons butter in Il pan and add dried beef mixture. When heated add well beaten eggs md cook until thick. Serve nt once with toast points or hot biscuits.
 Other suggestions for the serving of dried beef are:
 Dried Beef cn Casserole
 IA ID sliced dried beef
 medium sized cooked potatoes
 cups diced cooked carrots
 1 cup evaporated milk
 cup water
 2 tnblcsponos butter
 2 tablespoons flour
 1-2 teaspoon salt
 Melt the butter and add the flour and seasoningg. When smooth add the milk and water. Cook until thickencd. While the sauce is be- ing prepared place the dried beef in cold water and let fit stand for 15 minutes. Drain the dried beef well and arrange alternate layers of 1t and tho diced potatoes and carrots in q buttered casserole. Pour the white sauce over tho whole and bake in n moderate oven 20 10 25 minutes. Additional vegc- tables may be added if desired.
