PROHIBITION AT
THE FRONT
TOMMY IS TRICKY OX THE
WATER WAGON"
A writer in Leslie's Weekly
brings out facts from the front
that makes Miss Ackkuns’ charge ap
pear preposterous. After relating
his experiences on the front lines.
, he say« in part:
"On the fighting line in France
and Belgium methods most drastic
are used to enforce the orders is
. sued prohibiting the sale or gift
of intoxicants to soldiers. For two .
—and sometimes three—hours a day
the estauminets, or cafes, are per
mitted to sell only the red or white
wine of the country, or the partic
ularlly innocuous Belgian beer, to ’
r, soldiers. W:th regard to the latter
beverage I can only say that it
contains less than two per cent al
cohol and if there is any man who
can drink enough to get intoxi
cated before he gets thoroughly
"water-logged" I would like to mee*
him for the purpose of observing
hint asa scientific curiosity. As.
one Tomy’ was heard to observe
as he sat in a Belgian setasninet
gating mournfully at a row of em
pty beer glasses in front of him:
** ‘AhVe drunk every kind of per
ishing likker in every blighted
country of this ‘ere condemned
world, but this (deleted by censor)
swipes fair gives me the ‘orrors.
Ah to drunk a sanguinary barrel
ful an' all Ah've got is a pain in
me stummick and Ah can’t buckle
me gory belt!'
“As for the red and white wine'
j (now very scarce) which costs from
50 centimes to francs 1-50 per
bottle. Tommy very seldom tries
a second time. One Tommy said
about it:
" It looks like red ink, tastes
1 like vinegar—an’ they call it wine."
"I won’* say what he proceeded
to call it
"At the outset of last winter,
when the trenches were knee deep
in frozen slush and ice water, ra
tions of rum (one ounce twice a
day) were served to the British
troops. This, however, was dis
continued as soon as possible, for
it was found that hot cocoa or cof
fee answered better as a stimulant
and was most lasting in its effects.
With the wonderful efficiency
shown by the men of the camp kit
chens it was found comparatively
easy to keep the men supplied with
plenty of warm drink? and there
was very little—if any—grumbling i
at the change.
The French and Belgians found
that their men missed thier usual ij.
glass of red wine with their meals.;
so arrangements were made to sup
ply each man with a certain am
: sunt each day. Care is taken, j
however, that no man obtains a
sufficient quantity to intoxicate
aad the percentage of alcohol is
determined, so that Is would be a i
rare feat for a soldier to drink,
enough to affect his mentality.
So in the face of all this it came
as a great surprise to ah of as on
the firsg Lite when we heard last j 1
summer that Miss Ad-dams had pos j
itiveiy declared that oar regular j
custom was to drag and intoxicate 1
Itfc-s - ' 'tiers before ‘driving' them
into the trenches. Miss AJdams
was unknown to fame as far as
most of us were concerned, ,
bat we are very anxious to know
from whence she obtained her in- i
. formation.
“So far as could be ascertained
by the few of us who were inter- j,
ested in this good lady's statements
she had never been anywhere near
the firing line; certainly she was |
never on the Belgian or western
France front. And when I rem
embered the times when even I—a
physician as such qualified to de-!
mand spirits—could not obtain a
drop, no matter how urgent the
need, I was rather given to wonder
where the barrels of ram and bran- ;
- dy were hidden with which to int- '
bae the troops with courage. It
would take more than a few bar
re s of spirits to intoxicate a mil- 1
iion mea.

i PASTOR PATENTS
SWITCHBOARD
The Rev. Rufus Turk, a small
country church preacher at De
’ troit, a small town east of Abilene.
Kan., has invented a telephone
switchboard that has many advant
ages and improvements over the
old ones now in use. With his in
vention the operator can connect
all the phones in the city at once
and also the switch plug ejects
when the parties are through talk
ing. He has secured a patent.
He has patents pending on an
il other switchboard which would
prove very practical in use. It will
indicate when other parties are
j listening on a party line. He is
working on other similar jmprove
j morns.

UNEARTHS BIGGEST MOUNDS
. The most striking prehistoric
ru n yet unearthed by atvheoligists
in America has been found by Dr.
J. W. Fewkes of the Smithsonian
Institution, who has just made his
report to the Interion Department.
The mound, the largest of any
thus far found, was in Mesa Verde
National Park in New Mexico, and
apparently was built for religious
' rites and ceremonials.
It has been named Sun Temple.
There are twenty-five rooms, and
the walls which total more than
1,000 feet in length, average four
feet thick. Cedar and pinyon trees
; growing above the mound would
indicate that the mound was built
about 1800 A. D.
Professor Jones, of the Metlakat
ia Native School, was a visitor in
town yesterday. Mr. Jones came
over with the Superintendent, Mr.
Beanie.

OTTAW A, Feb. 13.— Tuc nnpor
tarion of wheat into the country
has been declared contrary to the
government policy, and will not be
countenanced. A duty will be im
posed, one of the officials said to
day. Although the company may
need wheat, yet she needs some
revenue also, therefore wheat must
not be allowed to be brought in
without a reasonable duty is paid.

er mills throughout the state are
reported to be working with double

the price of paper in the near fu
