The Club Locker a Bugaboo
There is much more worry
'than the situation justifies in the
matter of the club locker and the
SSOO tax.
It is more than likely that the
scare will subside and be laugh
ed at in the actual results which
follow the experiment.
There is no doubt that the tax
-the size of it—was a mistake.
It would have been better to have
left the subject untouched with
out a reminder of its possibili
ties, or to have raised the tax
in the beginning to $5,000, or at
the lowest to SI,OOO.
I n the matter of the counties
the conditions are unchanged.
The counties have no more right,
and no less right to have clubs
and lockers now than they had
before the prohibition bill passed.
Moreover, the tax itself was
not a recognition of any right”of
counties or cities to have liquor
in club lockers, because in dis
tinct terms it provided and de
clared that nothing in that act
should recognize or authorize the
use of liquor in any possible way
not provided for in the Hardman-
Covington bill.
But beyond these reflections
looms the majestic shadow of the
law. The individual or organiza
tion that essays the club locker
and the use or dispensing of liq
uor in any way will find himself
squarely up against the officers
of justice, and will have to travel
through the superior court be
fore he can with impunity enjoy
the questionable luxuries of his
cocker and his liquor at his club.
And behind all other considers
tions stands the force and omnip
otence of public opinion, which
is backing this prohibition law
t<> the last letter of fulfillment.
In fact and finally it is evident
that prudence and obedience is
the wise cue of the liquor men
and the liquor drinkers. Every
consideration of discretion would
suggest to them to go slow in
tempting the law, backed by
public opinion, in the experi
merit. Atlanta Georgian.

A Homemade Curfew.
Every family should have a cur
few which should positively “ring
tonight” and every night if needed.
These curfews are inexpensive and
can be homemade. Take a piece of
siding two feet long and whittle one
end down to a handle. Then take
the child that needs the curfew and
bend him over a barrel. Now take
the piece of siding in the hand and
use it for a clapper. Put it on hot.
Divide the strokes evenly and see;
that none miss. Good for a boy or
girl up to the age of sixteen, and I
applications are warranted to cure,
the most pronounced case of street)
loafing that exists. The music
curfew makes is finer than singing)

Chronic Hoarseness.
Mrs. Delia C. Cameron, Healdsburg,
Cai., member Daughters of America,
writes:
“Having tried many remedies for
chronic catarrh of the bronchial tubes,
and not receiving any benefit, I began
to think there was no help for me until
I began to use Peruna.
“In a short time the bronchial tubes
began to clear, I did not have that ‘frog
in my throat’ continually, my voice was
not nearly so husky, and the wheezing
noise disappeared.
“I was soon able to believe that I was
entirely free from catarrh, and as this
was several months ago, I do not believe
that it will return.”
The above group of women could be
multiplied by ten thousand without
reaching the number that have been
helped by taking Peruna.
Mrs. Roxa Tyler, 6210 Madison Avenue, Chicago, 111., Vice President of
the Illinois Woman’s Alliance, writes:
“During the past year I gradually lost flesh and strength until I was
unable to-perform my work properly. I tried different remedies, and finally
Peruna was suggested to me.
“It gave me new life and restored my strength. I cannot speak too
highly of it.”
FREIGHT TRAIN WRECKED
Six Cars Derailed and Track Badly
Torn Up.
A bad wreck occurred on the
Central of Ga. railway near the
Summerville Cotton Mills early
Wednesday morning.
Several enrs of a south bound
through freight were derailed
and the track completely torn up
far a distance of about one hun
dred yards.
The wreck was caused by the
spreading of the rails.
Noone was injured, though
the fireman had a narrow escape.
When the cars began to pile up,
he jumped from the engine and
fell down a high embankment
but escaped uninjured.
The wrecking crew arrived
about 9 o’clock and had the
wreck cleared away so that trains
could pass by 4 o’clock in the
afternoon. Passengers on the
morning trains were trans
ferred.

Emily Koch,
Catarrh of the Stomach.
Miss Emily Koch, 914 Michigan Ave.,
Sheboygan, Wis., writes:
“I can heartily recommend Peruna
for catarrh of the stomach. 1 had tried
many things which did me no good and
as a last resort I got a bottle of Peruna.
“I only regret that I did not try it be
fore I forced so much bad stuff into my
Stomach. It has entirely cured me and
8s a preventative I always keep a bottle
in the house.
“I gladly recommend it to all who are
afflicted as I was.”
A Wasting Disease.
The Golden Fleece.
It was on Jan. 10, 1429, in the
ancient city of Bruges that Philip
the Good, duke of Burgundy and
Brabant, set the climax upon the
scene of indescribable splendor that
formed the setting of his nuptials
with Isabel of Portugal by issuing
the proclamation which called into
being the Order of the Golden
Fleece, for centuries the most covet
ed distinction for the mighty of this
earth, the reward for stainless chiv
alry and deeds of heroism and prow
ess, forfeitable at the least deviation
from the strictest code of knightly
honor. The conduct of the sover
eign himself, chief of the order,
was subject to investigation and
censure by the chapter, and many
are the occasions when the assem
bled knights availed themselvec of
their dangerous privilege.
Choosing a Charioteer.
A certain king once required a
charioteer. There were many can
didates for the honor, and one by
one they were brought before the
king. He inquired of each, “If you
were driving my chariot near a
precipice how near could you steer
without falling over?” The first
said two feet, the next that he could
go safely within a foot of the brink,
a third that a few inches would be
quite enough for him. A fourth
came and, hearing the question, said
at once, “If I were driving the
king’s chariot I should consider it
my duty to keep as far away as pos
sible from the precipice.” The king
felt that he was the safest man, and
he was at once engaged.
Pain of a Witness.
An attorney, speaking of overwill
ing witnesses who desire to make
their evidence as strong as possible
by the use of qualifying adjectives,
said that their efforts were fre
quently amusing. He then referred
to a case in which a woman, who
had met with an accident and was
suing for damages, testified that
she had suffered severely from “con
densed” pain. She was injured on
the left side and testified that when
she sat down she had to sit “teeto
tallv” on the right side. —Utica Ob

Bronchial Catarrh.
Mrs. Wm. Hohmann, 569 N. Paulina
St., Chicago, 111., writes:
“I suffered with catarrh of the
bronchial tubes and bad a terrible
cough ever since a child. When a child
it was supposed to be whooping cough
or the croup, but as I got older it got
worse.
“After a while it got so bad I had to
cough both winter and summer. Fi
nally I burst a blood vessel in my throat
from the strain of coughing, next a
blood vessel in my stomach, so I kept
getting worse and doctoring, and even
then could get no relief.
“I went to a dispensary for treatment,
but it all done me no good. At night I
could never lie on my back. I would sit
up until two or three o’clock in the
morning before I could close my eyes.
Then of course, I thought, and every
body else that I had consumption.
“Reading the papers about Peruna I
decided to try it without the least hope
thatit would do me any good. But after
taking three bottles I noticed a change.
My appetite got better, so I kept on,
never got discouraged.
“Now I can lie on my back and sleep
all night, and you may well think how
thankful 1 am for Peruna.”
