Mr. Roper lias made plain, however, that enforcement of prohibition de pends largely on local sentiment and has appealed to citizens of the United States to give their co-operation to upholding the law *<>f the country Federal forces, he said, would be i used to reinforce local efforts, and where any state officer tailed in his duty, his constituents would be in formed. Approximately $500,000,000 in taxes nas been collected annually on alcoholic beverages, which now will have t.> be obtained by the govern ment in some other way. How Dry Oentirnent Grew. I rohibition sentiment, culminating in the epoch-making amendment to the Constitution, has been growing' steadily in this country since 1808,' according to records compiled by the Board of Temperance of tlie Metho- f dist Episcopal church. At that time, a demand for moderation in the use •. of ardent spirits arose, followed ten , years later by an even broader move- 1 ment for abstinence from ardent spir its and for moderation in the use of malt liquors. This in turn gave way, I. in 1840, to sentiment for abstinence t from all alcoholic beverages. Agitation for abolition of the prac- 1 tice of .licensing the sale of liquors; did not come until 1847, resulting: 1 four years later in the enactment of 11 prohibition laws in Maine, the fiisil* siate to put prohibition into effect,) ! Kansas was second in 1880, and? North Dakota third in 1889. Mean-’* while, the movement had grown to I ' such proportions that a National Pro- J hibiiion party was formed at a con- ■ ‘ v kion in Chicago in 1869. Women, always in the forefront of ♦ • 1 the activity to stop the sale of alco- ! MORE ( holie drinks, organized for a concert ed fight after the famous woman’s , crusade, 1873-4. Their association , was later to become known through- I out the world by the name of the , Woman’s Christian Temperance Un ion, with a little white ribbon. /l Another powerful influence in the | fight for prohibition came into ex- ■ istence in 1893 in the formation of 1 the Anti-Saloon League. It is note- i worthy that both these organizations had their inception in Ohio. Georgia Modern Leader. The modern wave of prohibition 1 legislation began with Georgia in I 1907. Since that time, the move- 1 ment gained strength more rapidly 1 than any other reform in the history of the world, so that 33 states already ' have prohibition by state action, in 21 adopted by popular vote and in the others by legislative measures. I At the time the constitutional amend-' ' ment was submitted, 24 of the 48 i' states had prohibition. In states I where prohibition was not state- I ' wide, it had been adopted under ; local option laws by many communi- j ' ties.

Shipment of liquor into any states was prohib ited by the bone-dry law. MORE Thirteen Months to Ratify. The constitutional amendment was finally adopted by congress in De cember 18, 1917, with a restrictive clause, hitherto unknow in legislative procedure, that it would be inopera tive unless ratified within seven years. It required only 13 months. The vote in the house was 281 to 128 and in the senate 65 to 20. Submission of the amendment to the states came at a time when many legislators were assembling. Mis sissippi quickly put its approval on the amendment and was followed in order by Virginia, Kentucky, South Carolina, North Dakota, Maryland, Montana, Texas,. Delaware, South Dakota, Massachusetts, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Florida, Michi gan, Ohio, Oklahoma, Maine, Tennes see, Illinois, Colorado, West Vir ginia, Idaho, California, Indiana, Arkansas, North Carolina, Washing ton, Alabama, Kansas, Oregon, Utah, lowa, New Hampshire and Nebraska, making the required 36 states, three fourths of the union, for the amend ment to become effective Nine more states likewise gave their ratification, 45 in all, as follows: Wyoming, Mis souri, Minnesota. Wisconsin, Nevada. New Mexico, Vermont, New York and Pennsylvania. Acting Secretary of State Frank L. Polk proclaimed the amendment as a part of the constitution under date of January 29, 1919, but it goes into effect one year from the date of ratification by the 36th state. As that took place on January 16, 1919, the amendment is operative, accord ing to the Bureau of Internal Rev nue, at midnight tonight. Drastic Enforcement Law. To enforce constitutional prohi bition, congress enacted a bill so drastic that a man can be fined or put in jiil for even displaying a pic ture of a brewery or a keg. Right to store liquor in one’s own home for personal use stood up, however, against vigorous attacks in both sen fit? and house. Alcoholic beverages still may be produced for medic nal and sacra mental uses, and alcohol will con tinue to be made for scientific and in dustrial purposes, but many safe guards are provided that the law shall not be violated The home man ufacture and consumption of non intoxicating cider and fruit juices is permitted by law. In the manu facture of cereal drinks, commonly referred to as “near beer,” it was provided that other names shall be used than beer, ale or porter. i Places where intoxicating liquors are sold can be declared a nuisance and abated as such, and the persons guilty of, maintaining them are pun ishable under the criminal sections of the enforcement law. Puni-h --i ments for violations of the law vary, according to the nature of the viola tion and whether it is a first or sub sequent offense, the penalties run ning as high as $2,000 fine and two years imprisonment. Advertising of liquors by any means or method is prohibited. Search for contraband liquor is permitted under warrants, except that private dwellings may not be! searched unless used for illegal sale or in part for business purposes. Seized whisky and property used in illegal sale or transportation are to be destroyed, the owner having no property rights in it. Mere Mention About Town Community Silver—Thos.

With influenza again making in- ' roads into the health of the country, j the old adage, “an ounce of preven tion is better than an pound of cure,” never meant more than it does now. A 3-ounce bottle of Dr. Williams 101 Tonic will save many pounds of cure. 101 Tonic contains quinine, iron and magnesia. This is a proper combination where cases of colds, la grippe, fever and malaria, as well as “flu,” are to be treated or ward ed off. During the influenza epidemic which covered the country in Octo ber, 1918, the sales of 101 Tonic increased more than 500 per cent. This proves that 101 Tonic is an es- ■ fective treatment for this disease. I 101 Tonic not only treats the dis ’ ease, but acts as a general tonic.

HOME READING COURSE NO. 4. (Certificate, bearing the seal of the United States Bu reau of Edu- | cation, signed by the Commissioner of Education, will be given to each boy who gives satisfactory’ evidence of having read all the books on the e accompanying list.) t IJOR most boys in the United ! * States school days are few. The t average is only a little more than > 1.000 for each boy. For many boys the days are fewer still. While in I school they have little time for gen- ’ eral reading. Lessons in arithmetic, I algebra, geometry, elementary j science, geography, history, compo f sition, technical grammar, and other subjects take up most of the time. . I But all boys in the country and ' city alike may, if they will, find much ' time for the reading of good litera i ture on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, i during the long vacations, and after . they have quit school. Even if a boy works steadily for 10 hours a day. 6 days a week, he may still find . much time for such reading, if only ’ he has learned to save his time, has a taste for reading, and has formed the reading habit. In a week there are 168 hours. Ten hours of work a day for 6 days , make 60 hours for the week (most| . boys work much less; in many cities j I and states the day’s work is limited to 8 hours) ; 10 hours a day for eat | ing and sleeping make 70 hours; 3 ( hours a day for play and recreation ! , make 21 hours; a total of 151 hours. ’ ' I This leaves 17 hours a week, or 884 . hours a year, for reading—as many ', hours as are spent in school by a : j boy who attends school regularly and t promptly 5 hours a day, 9 months in t the year, with only 3 holidays. ( The boy who has learned to use his time well and has a little good advice in selecting books may easily read | two dozen good books a year with- ’ j out infringing on his time for work, | . sleep, or play, and recreation. By reading two dozen good books a 1 i year, any boy may, before he is 20 i I years old, become familiar with a ! , ’ large part of the best literature of I the world, fill his mind with helpful’ I ideas and noble ideals, and gain! ! j much of the finest culture that the i world can offer. Many men have at- ' . tained all this with less of oppor ! tunity than is presupposed here, j For reasons easily understood, books on religion are not included' iin this list. But every American boy, of whatever church he may be, or jif he be of no church, should know; ( the English Bible and read it con-' ' stantly. I A good book should be read more than once, and every boy should ‘ own some of the books that he reads. Books are cheap, and money paid for them is well invested and will pay large dividends in life and happiness and even in money. Most cities and towns in the United ’ States and some country communi- j | ties have good public sohool libraries; ’ I and many public schools, both in city I an d country, have good collections. Every community in which boys and girls live should have a public library with all the books of this list and many other in it. If there is no such library in your community in the school or else-* where, then you should get all the boys and girls to work with you and Opera House Tonight Only Wm. S.

Many Causes For a Run-Down Condition One of The Most Common is Anemia (General Bloudlessness) “11l health” is a relative term. Some individuals are terribly and seriously ill, and need the services of the best doctor Others are not so seriously affected. If your ill health is a result of weak, watery blood (an exceedingly common condition) you can recognize it by the following signs or symptoms: 1. Poor color or real paleness. 2 -“Tired-outness” or genera! weakness. 3 Frequent headaches. 4 Loss of appetite. 5 Lack of spirits and ambition. 6 Loss of bodily strength. The best remedy is one that will overcome the cause—-Anemia or Bloodlessness. “Gude’s” Pepto-Man -1 gan is the one peculiarly valuable medicine for this purpose. It supplies the weak, watery blood with the very elements it needs to put new life into the vital fluid (the blood) which car ries the good one gets from one’s foqd to all parts of the run-down body. It repairs, re-creates, revivifies and re builds the exhausted blood, the fountain and foundation of health and life. Try Pepto-Mangan if you are “run-down.” It cannot harm yon —it will certainly help you unless you have some deep-seated chronic disease requiring the physician’s care. Be sure the name “Gude’s” is on the package. Without “Gude’s” it is not Pepto-Mangan.
