NEW ORLEANS IS WET; PROHIBITION DEFIED As regards the liquor question, the most irnrnediate result of the voting in the Uyited States a week ago will be a slackening of enforcement. Cities that showed hostility to Volsteadism will become damper than they have been, for it is only the old American official who will seek to strongly en- force an act which he k sows is op- posed by perhaps three people out of four in the community in which he returned from New York recently, reported that in a New York . hotel whirr h. aoktd for a glass of good beer and was served with a glass of as good beer as ever he drank, even though he was not known. Mo rover the beer carne out of a beer tap and not out of a bottle. With the Guv ernor of the slate against prohibition, with the new Senator claited on a wet ticket, and with the city admin- istration, including the police, all com- mitted to ,vet views and opinions, it is not to he wondered at if New York taconites moister in every way, day by day, moister and moister. One American city that has re- mained wet despite Volstead and the Eighteenth ghteenth Amendment is New Or- leans. According to a member of the staff of the New York Times who returned from that city recent- ly, New Orleans appears to be the gayest, happiest, busiest place in the United States. Louisiana never reconciled itself to prohibition. It did not ratify the Eighteenth amend- ment and the city of New Orleans did not vote dry. The people there take the view that the Eighteenth Amendment was an outrage and that the Federal Government had no right to say what New Orleans should drink The city, declares the citizens, never attempted to interfere in the affairs of New York or Philadelphia nor did Lousiana meddle in the business of Ohio or Maine. Therefore, the residents of Louisiana ask, why should they not be left alone? Of course this reasoning is altogether puerile, as any prohibitionist can point out, but it seems to be the pre- vailing opinion in New Orleans, and in that city the opinion that is pre- vailing really prevails. In New Orleans, says The Times man, there are fewer bootleggers than in any other city of similar size in the United States. The reason is plain. A man would be a fool to buy bootleg stuff when in a hundred re- putable—as New Orleans insists upon calling them—hotels and restaur- ants the thirsty may be ministered to. Scotch is said to cost $4 a quart and Canadian rye less than that• These whiskeys are of established brands. Some of the famous resorts do not sell their celebrated cocktails and gin fizzes quite as openly as they did once. We learn that when the American Legion held its session in New Orleans it was astonished to find the procuring of alcoholic ,brinks so easy. Nevertheless, though the soldiers had a hilarious time they apparently did not indulge in an orgy and there was not a single arrest made by the police for drunk- enness. Of course, this not exact- ly equivalent to saying that there was no drunkenness. One reason why New Orleans is wet is that the city has been a sort of playground famous to most Am- ericans because of Mardi Gras, de- spite the fact that it is a great sea- port. Visitors who go to New Orleans have money to spend and the town has long enjoyed the reputation of being "wide open".Moreover the inhabitants come of a non -teetotal stock. "The real aristocrats of New Orleans have descended from old A Deserved Diploma -- Certificate of Health Miss M— lived in the Ottawa Valley, not far from the capital, with her mother and young sister. Work ,seemed the natural thing when she left school, and, accordingly, she started out to get what she could for her services.

With such prospects It seemed that her little slot', could C.:t the chance that she had been denied --a Univers- ity education.

The city has n drawn residents from other parts of the United States'to the- extent that Western and Middle Western eitl s have. So far as we know Billy Sun- day never preached in New Orleans The city is inclined to be somewhat Conservative, and undoubtedly was proud of such -fame as has been ,achieved by. means of Ramos's gin fizzes and. the Sazarack cocktails With pride citizens will take visitors to the old Absinthe house where the drip from a tap has worn a hollow in a slab of solid atone. Another reason why New Orleans is wet, and the chief reason why liquor is so comparatively , cheap there, ip because liquor can be eas- ily smuggled in. Ships take wines directly from the country of their growth to the city that calls itself "the Paris of United States."'Ships, too, go and. come from Havana and from points in Central America that are as wet as ever they were. How these contraband cargoes are smug- gled into tlfe city is not explained, but one assumes that when the citi- zens desire smuggling there will con- tinue to be smuggling and that it will be a great deal easier and on a great deal larger scab than in communi- ties where the civic conscience has more of a razor edge. In some parts of the south, the atrocities attribut- ed to drink -crazed negroes provided the strongest argume,rt. for prohibi- tion. New Orleans has plenty of ne- groes but this argument seems not to apply there. The- city is wet and the Natiunal Government scenes pow- erless to parch it. p e qfi; Aa at - lure' ted . caws failed to ea tilt and the proportion of , ll�tett 'p!► . dust was aced to on ' d and(f difficulty was experiene i ughoa the trial oe getting the cows to' eat this mixture.

Scientists made the word disc out of the origin- al Latin. Four descendents from the one Latin word. Shakespeare • s a to wa the firstman use the word "hurry," and he also coined the word "dwindle." Spenser made the word "elfin," and Milton coined "pandemonium." Until as late as the middle of the 17th century to call a man an "idot" did not necessarily imply that he was not mentally fit, but merely that he was just an ordinary private citizen. Jeremy Taylor, the great divine, us- ed the word in this sense when he wrote: "Humility is a duty irygreat ones as well as in idiots." The Greek word "idioteh" means a private per- son. The letter "e" was once pronounc- ed like "a'r (Englishmans still say clerks to rhyme with dark) and per- son was pronounced parson. Because he was usually the most distinguish- ed individual in the parish the clergy- man became "the person," or as we now say, the parson. WOOD IN SPORTS OF PRESENT DAY It is believed that man evolved from his animal ancestry in some ancient forest. He probably lived on trees in the childhood of the race and ever since he has been dependent on trees and wood. Somebody has point- ed out the extent of the consumption of wood in one of its minor phases, namely, in the recreational world. More than 25 million board feet of 32 different species of wood are used every year in the United States in the manufacture of equipment for sports. Among the forms of such equipment are dumb bells, wands, trapezes, vaulting horses, Indian clubs, horizontal bars, reins and other pieces of apparatus. Canoe paddles, row boats and oars, fish poles and baskets, croquet mallets and croquet balls are wood products. Then, too, wood enters into golf clubs and tennis racquets, baseball bats, lacrosse sticks, roller skates, ten pins, howling alleys, bowling balls and pins, billiard cues, billiard tables and coun- ters. WHO WOULD EVER THINK OF FEEDING SAWDUST? Who ever head of anyone seriously considering sawdust as a valuable cow feed? Once in a long while, when crops have been an absolute failure,' sawdust has been fed in the newer, sections of the country as a means of keeping the cattle alive and appeasing the awful pangs of hunger. A couple of years ago, however, one of the dairy authorities at Wisconsin Agri- cultural Experiment Sttation conceiv- ed the idea of feeding sawdust as a part of the meal ration and proposed to do at a profit. He called his pro- duct "hydrolized" sawdust, and pre- pared it by treating sawdust with diluted air under pressure. In trials that were conduted during the test of the first year two pounds of this saw- dust approximately replaced one pound of barley. Trials were con- tinued the following year, and the of- ficial report of them reads as fol- lows: "an this trial lots each of three cows were fed for 70 days. One lot receiv- ed an excellent ration consisting of, alfalfa hay, corn silage and a concen- trate made up of 60 parts yellow corn; 20 parts wheat bran, and 20 darts linseed meal. The ration for the other lot was the same except that the hydrolized sawdust, made from western white pine, was gradu- ally substituted for ground corn at the rate of two pounds of the saw- duein dale cows without a— t - pro g Y ea ing the normal milk flow and that the hydrolized sawdust may form quarter to one-third of the concen- trate mixture." Verily there are !new things turning up every day, and ' who knows but that some of our lum- ber mills 'of the future may be turn- ing their sawdust into cow feed in- stead of into the dump. BABY'S AMAZING GROWTH Ruby Ila McClung, of Bernice, Louisiana, is ten months old. She laughs and shows sixteen perfectly formed teeth. She weighs 60 pounds, is 42 inches in: height and measures 33 inches around the chest, 33 inches around thewaist and 18 inches around the thigh; talks, and her development is declared to he equal to that of a child, of three. Mr. and Mrs. E. W. McClung, the former sixty and the latter twenty- five, are the parents. They have one other child, a boy, three years old. They grey of the average successful farmer type and their ancestors also were farmers, none of them having any extraordinary physical character- istics or being specially large /in stature. They are used to hard work but in easy financial circumstances. "We are as puzzled es any one over the way the baby has grown," said Mrs. McClung, asked to explain why tier daughter now weighs several pounds more than her three-year-old brother. - Mrs. McClung said the baby was healthy and there had been no occas- ion to have a doctor since she was born, nor had she ever given her a close of medicine. "We have many visitors to see the baby," said Mrs. MeCyung. "It is rather amusing to listen to some of the strangers that come here wanting me to sign contracts for exhibiting my baby with a signed statement of the wonderful results of his patent medicine. But you know I couldn't do .anything like that, for the baby never was given a dose of medicine.." Mrs. McClung said that when the baby was born she weighed only six pounds. Little Miss McClung's feet are too small now to support her un- usual weight. She does not walk yet. HOW TO STOP BLEEDING It often happens that the owner of a horse or its driver has to give first aid when bleeding from a fresh wound threatens the animal's life. While waiting for the arrival of the veterinarian, who should be called in all severe cases of the kind,he may be able by correct methods to keep the bleeding within bounds, or wholly to stop it, until professional treat- ment can be given. It should he understood that blood from an artery flows from the heart to the extremities, and issues from a wound in spurts or jets, and is light red in color. Blood from a vein runs sluggishly toward the heart, is dark red in color and flows from the wound in a steady stream. Bleeding from an artery is dangerous, and when the vessel cut is large may quickly prove fatal. To check such bleeding a band- age, cord or small rubber tube should be bound around the leg above the wound and then tightened by running a stick under it and twisting as re- quired. This is termed a "tournls quet," and is easily applied, when the wound is well down on a leg. When not so situated that a tourniquet can be applied, bleeding may be q ecked by pressing the fingers firmly into the flesh over the artery, and binding upon the wound a mass of sterilized. cotton upon which has been sprinkled some substance that tends to check bleeding or cause coagulation of blood. Powder, starch, wheat flour, powdered alum or fine slaked lime are useful for this purpose. Monsel's solution or'howder may also be em- ployed, when available, but the dis- advantage in their use is that pus is liable to form under the hard clot caused by the drug. Persistent bathing with water that is very hot or very cold often suffices when bleeding,is comparatively slight. It is sufficient in bleeding from a small vein, but when venous bleeding is profuse a tourniquet has to be ap- plied tightly below the'wound. When an artery forceps is at hand it may be used to catch hold of the severed end of the artery or vein; then the bloodvessel may -be tied with silken thread, or a mass of tissue at the bleeding place may be picked up with the forceps and ligated, when the end of the artery cannot be located. Med- icinal applications to a wound from which venous blood is escaping are Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the .diseased portion of the ear. Catarrhal Deafness requires constitu- tional treatment. HALL'S CATARRH MEDICINE Is a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in- flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.

Here flowers bloom in winter, and the grass and trees are always green. South-westerly breezes prevail through- out -the year, reaching the land warmed by their passage across the vast breadth of the Pacific, whose waters on this coast have a temperature of 52 degrees. In Victoria, 49 degrees has been, the mean anmCuai temperature for the last thirty years, while Vancopver is a little colder, but extremes. in weather are never experiegced, It Golf and other outdoor'aports may be engaged in all winter, while both cities have magni- ficent natural settings, and hundreds of miles of the finest roads on the'continent invite motoring.
