The general assembly of the Pres-
byterian church has declared against
its members acting as attorneys
for liquor dealers. All over the coun-
ty too, we find members of churches
acting in the interests off those who
seu that which damns both body and |
soul. The license annual, published by
the W. C. T. U,, is just out. Look for
the names of the Somerset county
attorneys who help this cause
along as well as at the nearly 65,000
names of men “of good character” |
who are supporting the liquor ele-
ment in this county. No wonder Som-
erset is a black county!
Another daring aviator, Lincoln
Beachy, has fallen to his
though he could boast that twenty
million people had witnessed his dare-
devil stunts. A pioneer in the use of
the aeroplane, he started at 18 years
of age to perform feats that few air-
men would even attempt. The collapse
of the wings of the machine which
sent him to his death has been one of
-8IP Yons JO sosned juanba.aj sow 3y)
asters. A few years ago he retired,
feeling he wus in part responsible for
th death of nine other aviators who
had attempted to imitate his feats.
The conquest of the air seems a cer:
tainty at this age, but like all other
advancements the toll of valuable hu-
man lives has been great even at this
time.
Deaths and suicidés’ “are being re-
reported all over the country as the
resut of the new anti-narcotic law
which became effective March 1. Pres /
ident Wilson receives letters by the
thousands from th poor “dope” vic-
tims, sosuddenly deprived ofw ato,
was more than life to them, cannot
exist and the president shows hk
sympathy when he directs physicians |
to take the cases in hand; but the
obtaining of laudanum, morphine ete.
can no longer be relied upon by the
unfortunate ones whose lives have
ruined by a habit easily started but
which like “The Old Man of the Sea.” |
crushes them at last by the weight of |
their indulgences. A great percentags
of cases is due to the carelessness
of physicians in prescribing narcot-
ics as. in only extreme cases should
they be used. The law is one of the
best ever made and will result in in-
calculable benefit to mankind.
Carrying the Polish Jewels.
If the archbishop of Cracow, in his
flight from the threatemed city, has
really taken all the sacerdotal treas-
ure with him his load must be a
heavy one. For in the cathedral, an-
cient Poland's Westminster abbey,
were gathered rich tribute in gold
and jewels from generations of Polish
lords and ladies. The kings of Po-
land—and many of her uncrowned
kings—are buried in the cathedral.
Here Kosciuskc sleeps. Cracow in
the days of its metropolitan glory shel-
tered 80 churches within its walls. A
third of that number remain, more
than enough for the present popula-
tion.—London Chronicle.
School Children’s Health,
Boston’s health authorities have
started another vigorous campaign
against giving communicable diseases
of children a foothold in that city.
School physicians are urged to in-
quire at the homes oft children the
cause of their absence, and in an
open letter to parents the authorities
advise that physicians be consulted
in every case where the child com-
plains of throat affection.
Goatskins Scarce in Mexico.
There is to be a shortage of goat-
skins from central Mexico for at least
two years to come, because of the fact
that breeding stock and young goats
have been taken for foad.
Something Rarely Seen.
It is a question whether we have
ever seen the full expression of a per
sonality, except on the imaginative
plane of art.—Oscar Wilde.
Entirely Unnecessary.
It ie probably true that Satan never
takes a vacation, put there’s no good
reascn why he should bs always work
ing overtime.—Washington Post.
To Keep Stoppers From Sticking.
A very little glycerin smeared
around the glass stoppers of bottles
will keep them from sticking for a
long time.
The Way of Prices.
The news of an advance in prices
travels much faster than a reduction
which may follow.—Atchison Globe.

LIQUOR LICENSES.
. Continued from 1st page. .. ..
In passing on the exceptions filed
to the granting of any licenses be-
cause the advertisements of the ap-:
plication list did not give the resi-
dnces of the applicants, Judge Rup- |
pel filed an opinion in which the ex-|
ceptions are overruled. He main-
tains that the interests of the appli-|
cants should not bejeopardized be-|
cause of any possible error
that may have been made in this in- |
stance. The court in Tioga county
threw out the entire list for a simi-
lar cause when applicants to dispense
intoxicants were heard in that coun-|
ty a few weeks ago. !

the court’s action on all the licenses

Affected the Hair. 3
The fair creature's head looked like
a haystack. Each separate hair stood
out. “What's the matter, dear? Your
hair is standing on end.” I put it up
in curl papers last night, and the
newspaper I used was filled with hor

Home-Made Paste. ’ .
An inexpensive paste which will be
found much more satisfactory than
either flour or cornstarch is made of
one small potato grated fine. Add boil

boil five minutes.
Recording Sound Waves.
A new German method of recording
sound waves employs a lead pencil
line of vatying thickness, formed on
a strip of paper by an electric current
influenced by the vibrations.
To Remove Butternut Meats Whole.
Pour hot water over the butternuta
and let them stand over night. When
treated in this way the nuts are much
easier to crack and the meats wilt
come out whole.
More Fruits Should Be Used
It is rather strange how few people
know the meg cinal value of our com

not used.
