“THE NATION DRY NEXT JULY."
With prohibition for the period of
the war and thereafter until the termi
nation of demobilization, and prohi
bition by federal amendment in effect
early in 1920 (as seems sure), it may
be said that John Rarleycnrn will lie,
after July Ist, 1919, forever banished
from these United States. So far from
wishing him onto other and less fa
vored lands, the temperance hosts are
already engaged in a world-wide offen
sive which will make him an outcast
from every corner of the earth —the
“man without a country”—no üblding
place on sea or land.
As for that particular unit of the
temperance army, the National W. C.
T. U., its occupation will not be gone
after it has reached the goal of nation
al constitutional prohibition. This
point is clearly set forth in an ofllciul
letter sent by Miss Annn A. Gordon,
president, to every state W. C. T. U.
We quote:
“Some of our friends not close stu
dents of the temperance reform, aro
short sighted enough to say that with
the securing of nation-wide prohlbftion
through ratification of the federal
amendment, the work of the W. C. T.
U. will be accomplished and our ac
tivities should be directed into other
channels. On the contrary, we believe
we may rightly claim that our greatest
constructive work will then begin. Our
educational propaganda under the new
conditions of nation-wide prohibition
will become even more necessary than
in llie past. All our educational lines
of work Hint concern young people
und boys and girls should at once re
ceive our whole-hearted, vigorous at
tention. The children of today must
hold the firohibitory law tomorrow.
The appetite for alcoholic liquors and
the avarice of the would-be liquor deal
er will not become extinct when tills
nation-wide law becomes operative.
Locally we shall continue to lie In of
fensive and defensive struggles with
the direst foe of the child and the
home; our best efforts will be needed
to help establish substitutes for the
saloon and to aid in the election of
officials committed to the new law and
to its strict enforcement. Our pro
gram of social service after the pro
hibition law goes into effect will have
new and vital fontures and we should
l>e alert in our preparedness. With
added time and funds at our command,
our fascinating and compelling lines of
service among foreign-speaking peo
ple; on behalf of moral education;
child welfare; the welfare of women
in industry; the education of women
voters; anti-narcotics, anti-vice and
many other important departments,
can lie pushed with new zeal and help
fulness. True to its character as a pi
oneer the W. C. T. U. will forgo ahead
In the social service activities of the
new dry nation and in its mighty na
tional and international program,”
LIQUID LOGIC.
The American soldiers are learning
from their French and British com
rades to love wine and beer in France,
without which no civilized soldier can
and will fight, much less gain victories.
And “when Johnny comes marching
homo” he’ll sound the death knell to
parson-made American prohibition.—
Brewers’ Journal.
The liquor journals would have the
people believe that success of Ameri
can arms In France is due to booze 1
These boys were trained in canton
ments in the United States surrounded
by dry zones, were prohibited from
buying or receiving as n gift. Intoxi
cating liquors. Total abstainers, ev
eryone of them, and after they arrived
in France strong liquor was denied
them and even the use of light wines
and beer discouraged by declaration
of their commander in chief. And yet
the booze Journals of America, by some
strange process of reasoning, figure it
out that It is booze that Inspired them
to victory over the beer-drinking Hun.
Great is the logic of booze makers and
booze apologists.—American Issue.
NO RUM RATION
In bis new book on “The Warfare
of Today,” Lieutenant Colonel Azun,
of the French army, testifies: “I nin
not in favor of the practice of dis
tributing alcohol before going to the
attack. I have never given It out to
my men, and I have never regretted
this policy; they have always done bet
ter without It. I suppose that a cer
tain number of soldiers, nfftytod by
alcohol, without being actually drunk,
lose their sense of danger; they then
expose their lives uselessly In a way
they would not do had they all their
wits about them. Probably It is Just
to remove this anxiety that they ask
for alcohol. In my opinion nlcohol is
not needed for troops with u finely
tempered morale.”
SALOON BUILDINGS TO
BECOME APARTMENTS
New York brewers owning saloon
properties are reported by the New
York Journal to be preparing to turn
them Into small tenements. It is said
the ylan is looked upon by the govern
ment and city officials as very prac
ticable and patriotic.
“An unthinkable thing has happen
ed,” says the Texas Advance. “Prohi
bition has nearly ruined our rescue
mission in Houston. Since the saloon-'
went out there Is nobody to rescue.”

The Ford Motor Company have instructed
us to sell the genuine Ford Parts to any and
every reliable Garage who will pledge their

Who Benefits By
High Prices?
You feel that retail
meat prices are too high.
Your retailer says he
has to pay higher prices
to the packers.
Swift & Company prove
that out of every dollar
the retailer pays to the
packers for meat, 2 cents
is for packers’ profit, 13
cents is for operating
expenses, and 85 cents
goes to the stock raiser;
and that the prices of live
stock and meat move up
and down together.
The live-stock raiser points
to rising costs of raising live stock.
Labor reminds us that higher
wages must go hand in hand
with the new cost of living.
No one, apparently, is
responsible. No one, apparently,
is benefited by higher prices and
higher income.
We are all living on a high
priced scale. One trouble is,
that the number of dollars has
multiplied faster than the quan
tity of goods, so that each dollar
buys less than formerly.

not sewn on), which fastened gar
