ABSENCE OF DRY AGENTS AROUSES *HANG OVER; QUERY Chicago and Other Cities Spend Wet New Year’s in Spite of Predictions. Pnitrd Ww* CHICAGO. -Tan. 3—Faintly In inner to drown all th® nsoni‘ s< = of a great hangover In the f\v drop? loft over from the night's revelry. Chicago and other cities in the country's midst woke up la to Monday and vaguely mallzad that 1923 had begun with a great my story wbioh may never be solved. What, became of the prohibition agents? The onee-a-year amateurs shone brilliantly and retired at dawn like burnt moths; the regulars had made two quarts flow where but one had flown before; bandits, reckless drivers, gunmen and chronicle murderers celebrated in their own little way; bootleggers and “reservation scalpers" carried the coin home in wheelbarrows; hotel, cabaret and club owners swamped the hanks today; untold thousands held watch-night services oc drank and danced at home: the four hundred was appropriately wild in its own circle. No Volstead Casualties But beside the fact that guns and stampeding automobiles were responsible for the deaths and serious accidents, and “poison booze." according to latest available reports, for none it develops that the enforcers of tk Volstead act inflicted virtually r casualties at all. in spite of predi tiens’ that millions would wake 1 New Year's morning in an atmospne of cold iron bars. In Chicago, whiexpected them to add much zest tht raided a few "black and tan" cases that no one had ever heard of before. On the other hand dry agents and police were driven from a fashionable St. Ixmis hotel by a barrage of chairs, bottles, chinaware and cutlery. Two agents were mobbed in a-Phila-delphia hotel. In San Francisco two raiders were arrested by the police for violating the traffic laws. That, according to reports here, sums up the principal activities of the “drys," leaving the mystery far from solution. Can't Understand It Prohibitionists who retired confident that the agents would jug every one with even a smell on his breath can't understand it. Deep, dark, dismal, demonish rumors have developed that the authorities had a list of all the 75,000 or more Chicagons who made reservations and would summon them to court to tell what they know —which, incidentally, would be considerable. Confirmation of this report, however, is lacking. The fact remains that on Saturday Chicago had by far the greatest supply of liquor on hand since prohibition, and that on Monday it had the smallest.

"Churches stand empty and the cause of God is helpless in a community where there is a division of interests," s;iid Dr. George Wood Anderson. evangelist, in a noon-day sermon today at B. K. Keith's Theater under auspices of the Indianapolis Church Federation. "The man who becomes ambitious recognise- - the goodness in the world and the beauty in all people. When an artist fails to recognize the beauty in the composition of others, he ceases to be a musician but becomes a Critic.

"There is only one aristocracy in this world. The aristocracy of social position is a farce. The aristocracy of wealth is ridiculous. There is only one aristocracy, that is character. "There is not a man in Indianapo lis who is so rich that, he cannot administer to the most humble. Char acter is not in blood, but character Is being true, honest and working to achieve the fullest life.” L*r Anderson said. Noon -lay meeting will continue all week at Keith's.

Why the “Morning Grouch?” Many people awake feeling irritable and nervous—and are annoyed at trifles they wouldn’t notice at any other time. This nervous, irritable feeling lasts until after they have had their cup of coffee —sometimes it takes the second cup. The reason for this is simple; their nerves are crying out for the caffeine contained in the coffee they crave. And now, if this “strikes home,*’ ask yourself why you should not quit a habit that makes you nervous and irritable. Be your natural self; try doing, without, coffee for a week or so—and drink rich, fragrant Postum instead. Postum is a pure cereal beverage—refreshing and satisfying, yet absolutely free from caffeine or other harmful ingredients. Postum comes in two forms: —Instant Postum (in tins) prepared instantly in the cup b}' the addition of boiling water, Postum Cereal (in packages, for those who prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared) made by boiling fully twenty minutes.
Postum FOR HEALTH “ There’s a Reason" Made by Postum Cereal Company, Inc. Battle Creek, Michigan

Gone Forever! “Marthy, you remember back in Seymour they always give us what was left in the shaker when they made a malted milk, now didn’t they?” It was high noon, and the snappy clerk at the drug store lunch counter was jerking out the malteds faster and faster. The speaker eyed her malted, and glanced regretfully at the small portion the clerk had dashed into the running water before Marthy coulrl polish her spectacles to see what was going on. “Well, I think it’s a shame to waste things like that,” said the first “Lige Hooker, you know, was always the most, accommodatin' man about things like that.
