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

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

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.

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

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.

THINK how much . coal you burn in a range when you're not cooking. That's all
wasted money thrown away. ' And Uncle Sam wants every housewife who can, to
save coal. Here is a good way for you to do your part. Use an oil cook stove instead
of the fuel-wasting coal range. Then the only time you use fuel is when you are
cooking. And that fuel, kerosene, is much more economical than coal.
NEW PBECTION
OIL COOK-STOVES . -
not only give most satisfactory results they save steps in house work and do all the
' cooking just as well (usually better) than a coal range.
Think how easy it is to strike a match and have an intense heat in loss than n minute.
