SEPTEMBER 5,1918 Published Weekly. $t.50per Annum in Advance. E tiered at the Pontoffloe at MaConaelleburg P., leaoDd-olaia mall matter. Embargo on Liquor. Now that the people of the United States have forced their will upon Congress and the Preai dent In the matter of prohibition of the liquor traffic for the per iod of the war, it is reasonable to expect tha t the President will ex ercise bis power under the law to place an embargo upon the liquor business wherever it may be necessary to safeguard the in terests vital to the prosecution of the war. The country is in no mood tor camouflaging this issue at Wash ington or elsewhere. President Wjlson has been the steady obstructionist in the way of pro hibition and with one reason or another has managed to stave off tbe passing of the saloon. Ue is directly responsible for prolong ing the period in which the busi ness may be carried on from January 1, 1918, to June SO, 1919. Under the circumstances, it is not likely that he will interfere with the business before tbe time limit fixed by the act passed by Congress yesterday. A well known reader of the Te egraph writes to say that Harrisburg is likely to suffer a coal shortage next winter "not because there is not coal to be bad, but because it cannot be mined and transported." tie adds: "Within Dauphin county there is an abundance of the best anthracite in America in the Lykens Valley. There still con tinues, despite Federal control ot both coal and transportation, a differential which not only makes this nearby coal cost more in Harrisburg, but which sends it past our coal yards to be hauled hundreds ot miles farther while we must depend on coal brought in several round about ways ut terly without relation to conser vation of transportation or effort." "But there is a larger aspect of the chilly coal prospect. On July 12 last the National Coal Association addressed the Fuel Administrator that in the opinion of the representative committee of operators the country cannot have both booza and sufficient coal this winter. The liquor traffic is curtailing coal produc tion and the time has come to eliminate it." Our indignant correspondent says he has seen no rej binder to this definite statement, but that he had been informed that President Wilson him self, as has been stated on the floor of Congress, is responsible for postpommg the dropping of the prohibition gate until July 1, 1919. Oar correspondent also Btates that on the authority of the New York Independent (page 240, August 24, 1918), be learned that last year it required 157,915 cars to haul booza in the United States and that the Tquor traffic burned 60,0(0,100 tons of coal while it was decreasing the production of that necessity. As between coal and booze there can be no doubt whatever upon which side the people are aligned. If it is a good thing to suspend tbe liquor traffic next July, it is a good thiag now Upon President Wilson must rest the entire responsibility for the postponement ot a vital war measure.' Senator Sheppard, of Texas, author of otie prohibition amendment to tbe Constitoton informed the Sanate that tbe DR. FAIIRNEY i HAGERSTOWN, MD.

Cause and effect is the great law of nature. You know the effect find the cause. Send me your name ndaddress and let me study your case. Consultation Free President has asked for a post ponement of prohibition until January 1 1920, in ordor to ob tain the revunuen that would come from releasing the storeB of distilled spirits now Iu bond. Hut the Senato would not stand for further delay and fixed July 1, of next year. It has been stated over and over again that whi!o the people wore freer, ng and industries were closed for want of fuel last yea:, the breweries were not hindred in their operation for lack of coal. Nor was there any saving oJ the congested railroad facilities an embargo upon the shipment of booze. Senator Kirby, of Arkansas, minces no words in a statement that the Faderal Government has been favoring the liquor in terests ever since the war begau; that when industrial plants were cloned last winter east ot the Mississippi river not a brewery in the United States was shut down and while limitation was placed upon tbe useot Hour in bread one could buy all the beer he wanted. Harrisburg Tele graph. Save Gasoline on Sundays. The United States Fuel Ad ministration considers it necea sary that a limited conservatioi of gasoline be undertaken in view of the increasing demand for gasoline for war purposes and tbe paramount obligation o meeting promptly and fully all overseas requirements. An appeal is made, therefore, to the people to exercise rigid economy in the consumption of zasohne as a necessary and practical Act of patriotism. The United States Fuel Ad ministrator believes that the greatest measure of economy can be effected through the dis continuance of tbe use of all clas.sea of motor vehicles and motorcycles, on Sundays, with the least interference with business and, therefore, requests that there shall be adiscontinu ance of the use ot motors as above specified on each Sunday hereafter until notification that the need for such discontinuance has ceased. The following exceptions are made: ' Motor truck employed in transporting freight. Motors of physicians used in performance of professional duties. Undertakers vehicles and con veyance used for funerals. Telephone and telegraph re pair vehicles. Motor vehicles on errands of actual necessity. In addition to the above appea' is made to patriotic meu and women to undertake, voluntar ily additional conservation, in tbe operating of their own auto mobiles, wherever possible. It this be done no mandatory order governing the me of gasolint will be necessary. M euuill W. Nack, Fuel Administrator lor Fultoii County. ENID. J. M.

The In cident Is worth remembering In tlie.se dityH when the German Niihmurtne cam paign on this Hide the wuter Is for no other purpose than to sen re the Amer ican people Into surrender, says Phil adelphia Bulletin. From a : military point of view very little can be gained by sinking a few schooners. To use tho vernacular: we don't scare worth a cent. We have become too much Inured to the horrors of war to be frightened over any such episodes as ore now conspicuous In our news col umns. They are Interesting rather than Important. They come at a tlmo when all testimony Is to the effect that Oermuny Is a hollow shell. Aside from the Iron ring of military forces which surrounds the empire, Germany Is In deplorable and weakened condition, much worse than the South In the last months of the Civil war. But a short time ago pessimistic writers were hysterically bewailing the deterioration of American manhood, says Philadelphia Telegraph. They Paw evidences of It In the fuctorles, In the public schools, in every walk of life, and prophesied that In a few years wo would be a pathetic race of pygmies. In any of our nutlonnl encampments, one nmy now see the finest specimens of manhood on the face of the earth. American manhood Is far from de terioration. As a matters of fuct we are growing stronger every day. Ad vancement In the sciences, clean llvlnc and a better understanding of hygienic essentials have placed us in the fore ground of physical development. No matter what sacrifices the woi has Imposed and Is going to Impose, they are so much less than those bcliiy willingly suffered by our men In tin trenches and on the battlefield that no one at- home who is a sincere Ameri can will think for a moment of com plaining or trying to shirk them. On tbe contrary, every hand will be uplift ed to help bear the nation's burden till the end Is crowned with victory foi humanity and the world's freedom. Six-tenths or three-fifths of an onncf of tobacco per diem for the soldiers doesn't look like uny too liberal an al lowance. Habitual consumers of tilt weed for smoking purposes eonsumi more than double that amount, reckon ing their cigars, clgantttes and pipes Apparently the army authorities art guarding against anything approaching excessive smoking In the ranks. One man out of every five In New Zealand Is now at the front In the serv ice of his country, and New Zealand Is organizing another army, composed of men from twenty to forty-four yeuri old." "Are we downhearted? No!'' That is the sentiment I A cheerful fighting fiplrlt will win the war. Germany is said to be urging all. rich nnd poor, old and young, to go barefoot this summer to help the ftv therlnnd. When the masses hnve been asked for a few more sacrifices to help tbe fatherland they may turn on theli rulers with the demand that the father land do something to help them. Attention has been called to the fact thut recent research work on the part of German chemists has developed threo new colors which will not run under any circumstances or conditions, no matter how severe. Needless to tnj they are red, white and blue, , WHY FISHING IS GOOD FUN Wonderful Lake Fish That, However, Are Only Trouble Makers. Bruce Uarton says in the Ameri can Magazine, quoting first from kaak Walton: "'I have found it to bo a real truth that the very sitting by tho river's siilo is not only tho quietest nnd fittest place for contemplation, but will invito nn unglcr to it, un tin's ftceniH to be maintained by tho learned Peter du Moulin, who, in hi? discourse on tho fulfilling of prophecies, observes that when God intended to reveal any future events or high notions to his prophets ho then carried them either to the tics. erts'or tho neushore, that having so separated them from amidst tlio press of people and busmens, nnd tho cares of the world, ho might Bettio their mind in n quiet repose, niul there' make them fit for revelation.' "There is wonderful finhiiiK in our lako in Foxhoro. I have enjoyed it in peace anil thankfulness by the hour. It would ho flawless but for one thimr I mean tho fish. When one is immersed in the spiritual en tcrprise of fishing, I know of nolli ing more distracting than to have a fihh attack the line and demand attention. I do not know how fish get into our lako. We never put any in and we have frequently warned tho neighbors not to do it in our ab sence. They ore merely trouble mak ers. One brings them homo and is met by one's wife with tho age-old taunt: '"If you expect to eat those little things you will have to clean them up yourself.'" SUN MAKES ALKALI IN WATER 8erle of Experiments by Scientist! Produces Interesting Information, That many marine plants ranse sea water to become more alkaline when exposed to sunlight is defi nitely proved through interesting ex periments deviled by W. J. V. Osier liout and A. R. C. Haas of the labo ratory of plant physiology, Harvard university, and described by them in Science. These gentlemen hare found 8 way to measure accurately the in creased alkalinity. Withoiit going into details, it may he 6aid that this consists in immersing a green sea weed in a gluss tube of Fait water to which a few drops of phenophlha- lein has been added. After expos ure to sunlight, the water turns pink nnd the degree of pinkness, meas ured by matching against the colors of a series of tubes containing the same concentration of indicator in a series of "buffer solutions" of known alkalinity, gives the quantity of al kali produced by the action of the sunlight. PRACTICAL TRAINING. Tact, kindness and encouragement will work wonders in any household. Hence the mother who aspires tc such favorable results should prac tice these golden virtues. She must become interested in her children's school work, encourage them to make a good showing in their studies and see to it that they have a full meas lire of play; but she should not neg lect the practical side of their train ing. If she is anxious to have them learn business methods, as well as to realize that there is a dignity at tached to all honest labor, she will single out certain small daily tasks for them to perform. She should take the timo to per sonally instruct her little ones in these duties and then she might go a step further and make the work keenly interesting and of value by setting a certain price on every chore well done.
