JOHNSON’S OLD STAND BALL FOR MISS ROOSEVELT. SHE IS ONLY SEVENTEEN. DESIRE TO GIVE MISS ETHEL A SEASON IN THE WHITE HOUSE HASTENS HER FORMAL ENTRY INTO SO CIETY. Washington, Dec. 28.—There le an Air of bustle and preparation about the White House today. Casual visit ors to the capital and Washingtonians whose business brines them to the vi cinity of the executive mansion see wagon after wagon discharge its con tents and drive away. Within the walls there is hurrying and scurrying of servants, who are adding a touch here and there to the decoraUoRs wtiich tell that tonight the daughter of the president, Miss fofchel C&row Roosevelt, will make her formal first appearance in society. Tonight will be the night of nights to which younger- Washington has been looking forward. , Wlhile invitations to the ball have not, of course, been scat tered broadcast, the affair will not be DRY WAVE ROLLS ON. THE SOUTH LEADS THE COUN TRY IN CONQUEST AGAINST LIQUOR. WaAington, Dec. 28.—A wave ol prohibition has swept with such re markable effect over the south and sentiment has so cryetalized against the saloon and its kindred evils, that the dawn of the new year opens upon a vast stretch of territory absolutely bereft of liquor, while the area where anti-prohibitionists have triumphed marks the battleground for impending fights for and against the sale of in toxicants. Reports reflecting accurately the po litical stage of the prohibition move ment in the south show that more than half the south’s territory is “dry” absolutely, and that in the remaining grea listed aa “wet” the sale of intox icants is upon a restricted sale. Georgia now holds the center of the stage and for a year has been experi menting in what is strictly a “near prohibition” law, in that it forbids the sale of liquors containing more than 4 percent of alcohol. State-wide pro hibition laws become effective on Jan- 'uary 1 in North Carolina, Alabama and Mississippi, in each of which a ma jority of counties had heretofore pro hibited the sale of liquor. Prohibition advocates in Louisiana have suspend ed their fight to test the new Gay- Shattuck law for the regulation of the liquor traffic, which also becomes op erative January 1. MISS ETHEL ROOSEVELT, at all “exclusive” in some senses of that much used word. Several hun dreds of cards have been sent out, reaching in their flight members of the diplomatic, the army, the navy, the official, the social and all of the other numerous sets into which Washington society is divided. The great east room of the White House, in which the dancing will take place to music by the Marine band, will be thronged with the young people who have the entree to the White House. The center of tonight’s, festivities will of course be the debutante. She to young to be the “observed of all ob servers” at a large society function, being only a few months past her sev enteenth birthday. It is commonly believed here that It was not the orig inal Intention of Mrs. Roosevelt to bring out eo soon her only daughter. The desire to give Miss Ethel a sear son in the White House before her father’s term expired is the reason for tonight’s Miss Roosevelt is by no means a stranger to the social world. For the tost two years she has been present at many of ttae state receptions in the White House, and she was conspicu- ow as one of the attractive young girls at the wedding of her older sis ter, Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth. Tet the contrast between Miss Ethel and Mrs. Longworth is most striking even to the cursory observer. The former is modest and retiring to the verge of bashfulness. Men of Learning Meet Thle Week.

HEALS OLD SORES No old sore exists merely because the flesh is diseased at that partic ular spot; if this were true simple cleanliness and local applications would heal them. Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal readily, the blood is at fault; this vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which are being constantly discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matter and irritating and inflaming the nerves and tissues so the sore cannot heal. These impurities in the blood may be the remains of some constitutional trouble, the effect of a debilitating spell of sickness, leaving disease germs in the system, or the absorption by the blood of the fermented refuse matter which the bodily channels of waste have failed to remove. Again the canse may be hereditary, the diseased blood of ancestry being handed down tn posterity.; but whatever the cause, the fact that the sore will not heal shows the necessity for the very best constitutional treatment. There is nothing that causes more worry and anxiety than an old sore which resists treatment. Every symptom suggests pollution and disease—the discharge, the red, angry looking flesh, the pain and in flammation, and the discoloration of surrounding parts, all show that deep down in the blood there are morbid and dangerous forces at work, con stantly creating poisons which may in the end lead to Cancer. Local applications are valuable only for their cleansing and antiseptic effects; the do hot reach the blood, where the eal cause is located, and can there f *re have no real curative worth. S.

It removes every particle of impurity from the cir culation and makes this life-stream pure, fresh and health-sustaining.
