PROHIBITION TO COME TO SOUTH AMERICA IN FIVE YEARS. That there will be prohibition in Republics of South America within five years, is the prophecy brought back from the Latin American coun tries by "Miss Anna A. Gordon, na tional president of 'the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, who has just returned from a tour includ ing Chile, the Argentine, Uruguay, Peru and Brazil. Everything points to the rapid growth of prohibition sentiment there and the fact that the ' governments and the educators of the highest rank are favorable to the temperance cause and doing all that it is possible for them to do to se cure the enactment of a prohibition law promise the early consummation of the fight that is being made against the liquor business. "One of the most hopeful features of the whole situation," says Miss Gordon, "is the fact that the teaching of scientific temperance in the public schools is recognized as a legitimate part of the educational system, not as an extraneous subject, to be tol erated but not dignified by official recognition. Teachers are trained in the normal schools and children in the whole school system taught by them the scientific facts about the effect of alcohol on the human body. "There is conviction, too, in the minds of government officials, that the culture of the grape may be made even more profitable when it is used for other purposes than the manufac ture of alcoholic beverages. A plan is being built up by which ?growers will receive government help during the transition period from wine grow ing to raisin culture, and expert ad vice upon how to make the industry profitable without the manufacture of wine and brandy. "We are wonderfully heartened by our tour and more than ever con vinced that the great problem before the temperance organizations here is to make enforcement so rigid that there can be no argument about the impossibility of putting a prohibitory law into actual effect. They are watch ing us here, studying the economic and social effect of prohibition, ready to follow in our footsteps just as soon as they are sure that our ex-i p?riment is as workable as we know it is."-Palmetto White Ribbon. FORMER HARVARD HEAD COM MENTS ON NEED OF TEM PERANCE EDUCATION. Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard Univer?ity, in a commencement address at Rice In stitute, Houston, Texas, on the theme "Education in the United States Since the Civil War," discussed thc prohibition movement in the United States. He said as quoted by an ex change : "It remains to mention the remark able educational enterprise on which the democratic government of the United Ste.tes has embarked since it went to war with the autocratic gov ernment of Germany-the prohibi tion enterprise. Prohibitory legisla tion began in the states-first in Maine, later in Kansas, and later still in some southern states. "The national movement began with the war and national scope and purposes were necessary to its suc cess. It rests solidly on a constitu tional amendment adopted by large majorities, and on acts of Congress which commended themselves to both political parties, and secured strong majorities. It is a hopeful effort to teach the entire people that alcoholic drinks never do any good, usually do harm, often destroy family happiness and as a rule impair productive effi ciency in industries of the country. This teaching, to be effectual, must ultimately be based on prolonged ex perience with prohibitive legislation. It involves continuous and universal instruction in the schools and homes of the rising generation-instruction both scientific and ethical. It also in volves a considerable advance in the ethics of the medical and legal pro fessions, and in their sense of re sponsibility, to the community. No other national government, democrat ic or autocratic, has ever attempted such a vast philanthropic and educa tional enterprise. ' "All men and women who believe that education is the best safeguard of democracy may rest content with the progress of education in the Unit ed States since the Civil War." Palmetto White Ribbon. Said two prominent business men recently, talking to business men, "What we need-the whole coun try needs-is a revival of the old fashioned religion. An arousement of society, to incite the people to right motives in doing the every day duties. Behind every movement the right purpose toward all humani ty--Selected. THE SABBATH AND SCIENCE Dr. John P. D. John. The man who works seven days in the week is fighting against the stars and in the end will go down against such omnipotent odds. If there were no divine law requir ing periodic rest, there is a natural I law demanding it. Material tools must have rest. Continuous pounding 'on an anvil disarranges the molecu I lar structure of both anvil and ham Imer, and each has its limit of elas ticity beyond which it will never re Iturn to its normal state. A barber will tell you that even a razor gets "tired" with continuous use, but if Allowed to "rest" before the limit is'reached, it will recover its original quality. If the engine needs periodic rest, I no less does the engineer need it. If untiring matter can be pushed beyond its power of restoration to its natural state, how much more so the living matter in animals and men! / Push an animal or human organi [ gation by continuous pressure beyond its limit of elasticity, and it will snap. Periodic rest in both the material and the spiritual realms is strictly a scientific necessity. , The all-wise and all-good Father who stamped this law on the material world so plainly that he who runs may read, has written it also in un mistakable words in His Holy Book. "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. In it thou shalt not do any work." The man who defies this law will i & sooner or later come to grief and the nation that persistently ignores it will deterioatej and in the end will dis appear from the nations of the earth. -Palmetto White Ribbon. HOTEL MEN LIKE IT DRY The president of the Southern In ternational State Hotel association is quoted by the Illinois State Jour nal as saying that hotels would not return to the unrestricted sale of li quors and do not even favor light wines and'beers. "Their business has been improved in two ways by pro hibition: first, they have found, vari ous side lines greatly stimulated and netting them greater profits than the bar did: second, the deportment of guests and of employees is better. There is less damage to furniture and equipment, fewer late parties, en tailing expenses of various kinds; the transient is less troublesome to handle and the whole tone-of hotel life and operation has been im proved.-Palmetto White Ribbon. THE SORT OF FRIEND. I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me; Fd like to be the help that you've been always glad to be; I'd like to mean as much to you each minute of the day As you have meant, old friends of mine, to me along the way. I'm wishing all the year around that I could but repay A portion of the gladness you've strewn along my way, And, could I have one wish this year, this only would it be I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me. -Author unknown. Dr. Lyman Abbott says : "If Amer ica is to be a law-abiding peace-lov ing and prosperous Republic, its youth must be trained as well as in structed. In them must be formed the habit of reverence for God, re spect for the moral law, and regard for the rights, the interests, and the opinions of their fellow men."

Many families during the war formed the habit of having two or three fish days a week and some of them have kept it up ever since. Many others, if they tried it, would find that the use of more fish adds pleasant variety to the meals. America has as good a fish supply as any country in the world, say food spe cialists of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, but Americans eat less fish than the people of many other countries. For instance, in Eng land an average of 65 pounds of fish yearly for each person is eaten, while here the average ls only 18 pounds. All told, there are said to be about 100 kinds of edible fish available in the United States, but most persons are familiar with not more than a dozen. It is a good plan to try new kinds of fish whenever there is an op portunity and, if they are not avail able in the local market, to suggest to the Ashman that he add them to- his supply. Also, if fresh fish cannot be obtained, many kinds of salt, smoked and canned fish can be shipped any where .at any season of the year. How to Select a Fresh Fish. Whenever possible, it is best to go to the market and select fish. A. fresh fish has full, bright eyes, bright red gills, finn flesh and a fresh odor. The flesh along the backbone should be ex amined with special care, because that is where a fish spoils first. Frozen fish should be bought in that condition and thawed in a coolvplace just before cooking. Much of the prej udice against frozen fish has come from the fact that lt was thawed^out some time before lt was sold. Fish does not change in flavor and food value so long as it remains frozen, but lt spoils very quickly after it is thawed. EGGS QUITE USEFUL FOOD FOR CHILDREN If Overcooked They Are Likely to Cause Indigestion. Best Ways of Serving Them for Young People Are Poached, Soft Boiled or Coddled-they May Be Scrambled for Change. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Eggs are especially useful food for young children. The chief point to re member in preparing them for chil dren is that they must not be over cooked for such ore likely to cause indigestion, say food specialists in the United States Department of Agricul ture. Every one knows how the heat of cooking hardens the egg, and it is easy to understand Why the digestive juices might have difficulty in pene trating such hard substance as the white of a hard-boiled egg. Over cooked yolks are also thought to be hard to digest. ?owever, when eggs are cooked in the shell, the heat reaches the white before it does the yolk, and there is more danger of the white being overcooked than of the yolk. The best ways of serving eggs for children are poached, soft boiled, or coddled, though they may be scram bled for a change if one is careful not to scorch the fat used nor to overcook the egg. Many means have been suggested for cooking eggs In such a way that the yolks will be cooked and the whites will not be overcooked. One of the m.ost satisfactory ls by coddling, which is done as follows: Allow a cupful of water to each egg, bring the water to the bolling point, remove lt from the fire, put in the eggs, cover the dish closely, and leave the eggs in the water for about seven inmutes. There is some uncertainty about this method, for eggs differ in weight and also in temperature at the time the cooking begins. On the whole this method can be more depended upon than others. Good results can be ob tained by pouring hot water over eggs, if the same dish with the same amount of water ls always used, but each, cook must make her own rules. Roll Pastry Lightly.

I Broiled Fish.-Broiling over coals or under the gas flame until brown is a favorite way of preparing the smaller fish. Fresh fish of one to two pounds size, or smoked fish, such as finnan haddie or white fish, are delicious served in this way. Wash the fish, spilt, season, dot with fat, place on a greased broiler and hroll until the flakes can be easily sep arated. If a gas broiler ls used, place, the rack several Inches below, the flame and brown. Sliced lemon makes an at tractive garnish and gives additional flavor and food value. Boiled Fish.-Boiled fish is easily, prepared and, when served with a well-seasoned sauce, ls delicious. Cook whole or, if too large, cut in pieces. Cover with boiling salted wa ter, but do not allow it to boll rapidly, as hard bolling .breaks the fish. Cook for ten minutes per pound. Strong flavored fish, such as carp, is improved by adding a half cupful of vinegar to the cooking water. Baked Fis' -Use the whole fish or a piece from ? liddle of a large one.

Sometimes fish is baked in a tomato sauce or in milk enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Fried Fish.-Small fish may be fried whole ; larger ones should be cut Into pieces suitable for serving. Roll the . fish in corn meal or flour, or dip lt in batter, or in bread crumbs, egg, and again in crumbs. Fry in deep fut, or. in a small amount of fut lu a skillet. Fish fried in deep fat ls less likely to be greasy than when fried In a pan. RICE-STUFFED STEAK LIKED lt ls Good Eating and Possesses Ad ditional Advantage pf Extending 1 Small Amount !
