FACTS OF INTEREST CONCERNING DRY LAW.

The state of Indiana will become dry officially at 12 o’clock Tuesday night, April 2, under a law enacted by the supreme court. With the exception of a few months prior to 1855 Indiana has had saloons, breweries and distilleries for mote than 100 years. Two statutory state-wide prohibition laws have been enacted since the state was admitted to the Union in 1816. One of the laws was held unconstitutional in 1855 in the now famous Beebee case. The other is the law that becomes effective Tuesday and which will close about forty breweries, hundreds of saloons and a number of the largest distilleries in America. The new law is one of the bone dry variety wihich has found favor with the radical prohibitionists. Although enacted more than a year ago the numerous provisions of the law were little understood. What can and can not be done under the law follows: The sale, manufacture, barter, gift or exchange of liquor after April 2, except for medicinal, mechanical and scientific purposes is prohibited. The theory on which the law is based is that it is an “exercise of the police powers of the state, for the protection of the economic welfare, health, peace and morals of the people.” It repeals all local option laws. It definies all intoxicating liquors as beverages containing to exceed Va of 1 per cent of alcohol. It prohibits the sale of . patent medicines with high alcoholic content, where they are to be used as a beverage. It prohibits the sale or manufacture of powders that might be used as a mixtrue in making intoxicating drinks. It does not prohibit an individual from making wine or cider for his own use. It does not prohibit a man from serving liquor to a guest at his own home. No one shall receive shipments of liquor from outside the state unless he holds a' perm^. No sale of liqtior may be advertised in Indiana in any manner. It is unlawful for agents of liquor houses to solicit in Indiana or or to solicit by catalogues through the mail.

The holding of a United States tax receipt is prima facie evidence that the holder is engaged in the sale of liquor. A man testifying regarding the violation of the law by others becomes exempt from prosecution. A druggist may sell only pure grain alcohol for medicinal, mechanical or scientific purposes and wine for sacramental use. He can not sell any common form of intoxicating drinks under any conditions. A druggist may sell wine for sacramental purposes on application of the clergyman or church officer. A druggist is required to keep an accurate list of all sales of liquor for public inspection at any time. Twice a year a druggist must file a sworn statement of his sales of alcohol and wine with the county clerk. A druggist may be fined from SSO to SSOO and sentenced to jail for a term of from ten days to one .year for violation of the law. The State Board of Pharmacy shall revoke a druggist’s license for violation of the law. Five voters of a township or city may file charges before the state board of pharmacy against a druggist and bring him to trial. Any licensed physician is authorized to write a prescription for pure grain alcohol. A physician can prescribe liquor only for medicinal use. A physician cannot prescribe wine for medicinal use. , A physician can only prescribe pure grain alcohol for medicinal use. The physician must name in his prescription the quantity of liquor to be bought, the name of the person for whom it is intended and the directions for its use. A druggist must cancel every prescription for liquor when filled. A physician cannot give liquor away.

Some Good Advice. “Don’t think too much of your own methods. Watch other people’s ways and learn from them.” This is good advice, especially when bilious or constipated. You will find many people who use Chamberlains’ Tablets for these ailments with the best results, and will do well to follow their example. C

WHERE WRITERS FOUND MUSE

Cottages, .Gardens, Woods, Riversides and Haystacks Affordsd Insplm- * tlons for Famous Authors. * There Is not much “local color” for a book like "Robinson Crusoe” round about the Surrey town of Dorking, observes a bookworm, but Defoe wrote at -least a part of that Immortal story of a desert island, the parent of hundreds of Imitators, at Burford Bridge, Just under Box HIIL The first house on the left in Westhumble Lane Is called the Cottage, and there Defoe lived and worked. In the garden of the hotel on the opposite side of the road, Burford Bridge hotel, a haunt of birds, one of the places where one may almost certainly hear the nightingale sing, the poet Keats wrote part of his Immortal poem, “Endymlonand In a lovely cottage surrounded by a wonderful hedge of box, a hundred yards nearer London, George Meredith wrote “Diana of the Crossways.” Tennyson wrote “Enoch Arden” overlooking the sea in his garden in the Isle of Wight. Shelley wrote “The Revolt of Islam” whilst lying in a punt under the woods at Marlow, and “The Cenci” on the roof of the Villa Valsovano, at Leghorn. Being weath-er-bound at Ouchy for two days, Byron wrote every word of “The Prisoner of Chlllon.” “The Ancient Mariner” and “We Are Seven” were written by Coleridge and Wordsworth respectively in a little cottage on the Quantock Hills. Browning wrote “O to Be in England!” after a bout of sea-sickness in the Mediterranean; and Burns wrote “Tam o’ Shanter” by the riverside on his own farm, and his immortal poem, “To Mary In Heaven,” lying full length under a haystack in the middle of the night

RUSSIAN IKONS NOT IMAGES

Pieces Are Pictures of the Savior, The Virgin Mary and the Saints, Used for Devotional Purposes. Many references have been made by writers on Russia to the Ikons which are found In such profusion In all parts of the country, and which are a distinguishing feature of Russian national life, notes a correspondent. These Ikons are used for devotional purposes, and are not Images as some suppose, bnt pictures- of the Savior, the Virgin Mary and the Saints. In these pictures all but the faces and hands are covered with metal-gold or sliver or gilt—and the gorgeous ornamentation of the setting fixes the price of the Ikon. Ikons are generally painted by postulants for the religious life, who use as their guide a twelfth century manuscript written by Dionysius, the famous prior of Mount Athos. Black Virgin Ikons are not uncommon, while a favorite Madonna was brought from Mount Athos In 1648. This Is known as the Iberian Mother of God, and Ozar Alexis built a splendid chapel to house this sacred treasure in Golden Moscow. It is known as the Iberian chapel, and 18 sliver chandeliers with tapers continually burning stand before the Ikon which is decorated with a crown of diamonds and a veil of pearls with other costly gems on the forehead and shoulders. The vestments are both gorgeous and elaborate, and the whole Is surrounded with angels’ heads on enamel plaques.

History of Term “Caucus."

The origin of the term “caucus” is traced back to the Caucus club, Boston, of Revolutionary days, notes an exchange. This club was composed usually of persons engaged in shipbuilding, and was one of the most radical opponents of British rule. It and the Merchants* club of the same period used to meet before elections and agree on candidates for town and provincial offices. “Caucus” Is believed to be a corruption of “Caulkers," the Massachusetts pronunciation of which would sound like caucus. If this derivation of the word seems improbable there is another even more so which derives Its name from an aboriginal Indian word “cawcawassaugh,” meaning a person who urges or pushes on some scheme. John Aroian, a Boston man, used the word In 1703, writing In his diary, “this day learned that the Caucus club meets at certain times in the garret of Tom Dawes, the adjutant of the Boston regiment.” This argues secret meetings and may refer to the, “Caulkers’ ” club. The British Cyclopedia says the word came first into use in Great Britain In 1878, and was Introduced then by Lord Beaconsfleld to discredit his political opponents.

Tadpoles and Frogs.

In general terms the tadpole Is a vegetarian, while the frog lives on animal food. The tadpole in pool or pond feeds chiefly upon tlje algae. But the tadpole will also eat decaying insects, earthworms, fruit and almost any kind of meat It Is a curious fact says Boy’s Life, a when the tadpole transforms Into frog the Intestine shortens, the h becomes wider and the tongue increases greatly in size. These changes take place to adapt It to a change of food. At the same time, the legs grow rapidly, the rounded body alters In form and the tall: Is absorbed. The lungs develop rapidly and the tadpole frequently comes to the surface for air. : The frog breathes through Its nostrils by a pumping or swallowing process due to the action of the mouth and not by the action ot its ribs as in higher forms ot animals. The frog also imbibes oxygen directly through Ue skin.

LOCAL DEALERS DO BUSINESS IN OPEN

Know They Must Face the Muslo £ if Their Customers Are - Displeased. •IhMEET PATRONS FACE TO FACE Mall Order Men Prefer to Sell at Long Distance Rather Than Deal With People In Their Own Cities. (Copyright.) One'of the stock excuses of the.man who orders goods.from a mail order house is that there are many things that he wants that the local merchants do not carry In stock, and that it is necessary for him to send away from town to get them. This -explanation may be all right on the theory that a poor excuse is better than none, but It fails to pass muster when it is subjected to a little scrutiny. Ask the man who offers this as an excuse for his dealings with the mail order man why he does not go to the local'merchant and ask him to order the articles desired if they are not to be found in the merchant’s stock. The merchant will very gladly do this, and the merchant and customer will both profit. The merchant can sell you whatever you desire at as low a price as the mail order house can make you on goods the same quality and he can make a small profit. The customer will profit from the transaction, because he will be dealing with a merchant who stands back of the goods that he sells, and who is easily accessible In case the articles purchased do not prove to be all that the customer had expected. Give Home Merchant Preference.

Why not try this plan the next time yon need something which yon cannot find In any of your home stores? The merchant in the average sized town cannot carry In stock everything that all of the people In his town may want at all times. It would require a capital many times larger than the average merchant can command to do this, but he does the best he can. He ordiharily does carry in stock at all times many things for which there Is no general demand, In order that he may meet the needs of his customers to the greatest possible degree, but there is a limit to his purchasing ability. He Is always ready and willing, however, to make every effort to meet the demands of the community. Why not, then, give him the preference over the far-distant mail order man If you must have something which Is got to be found in the local stores? He will do the business in 9 satisfactory manner, give yon as quick If not quicker service and more satisfactory treatment, and the chances are that he will give you better values for the money. Finally, whatever profit is to be made off the transaction will stay at home and do its bit toward making the merchant and his town and, Incidentally, yourself, more prosperous. No business can be transacted aa satisfactorily at long range as it can when the two parties to the transaction meet face to face. The only exception to this rule Is In the case of the mall order man himself, who can transact his business with greater success to himself at long distance than he could if he had to meet his customers face to face. That Is the reason that he does business by mall Instead of selling to the people In his own city. If the goods which the mall order man advertises In his alluring catalogues were the bargains that he represents them to be, he would not have to go outside of the confines of his own city to sell all the goods he could possibly obtain. But the average mall order house not only does not make any effort to sell goods In Its own city, bnt will not sell to anyone residing within the city limits. The mall order rpnn does not want to meet his customers face to face. He can do business better so far as he Is concerned If his customer Is some hundreds of miles away from his office.

Does Business in Open. The man who sells goods over the counter, on the other hand, does business In the open. He cannot hide behind a corporate name or talk to a displeased custpmer from behind the locked doors of a private office. He knows that he must face the music In case he Is a party to any transaction that won’t stand the light of day. He knows that he must satisfy every customer with whom he may be dealing or he will lose not only that customer but probably others who will soon know all the facts If he does not do the square thing by any one of his patrons. There Is no reason In the world for any person to send \hls money to a mall order house because he cannot find the article he wants in his local store. The local merchant is to business for the very purpose of getting you what you want. He has the Information that will, enable him to get what you want and to get It as quickly as you could get It from a mall or-t der house. It is only fair to him to give him the chance to make such profit as any dealer would make off the transaction and it Is only fair to yourself to keep that profit at home rather than to send it away to some far distant city from which It will never turn. - •••>
