LIGHT BEERS AND WINES ARE STILL FAR, FAR AWAY Marked Change Amoiig Folks Back Home Must Occur. By N. I). Cochran WASHINGTON. May 20.—Answering repeated inquiries as to how soon beer and light wines may be legalized, this much may be said: Beer and wine may be legalized by amending the Volstead act, and without touching the Eighteenth amendment; but before the Volstead act can be amended several things must happen. Congress is overwhelmingly dry. Many Congressmen who do not believe -in prohibition vote for it because they believe they would be defeated for re-election if they voted against it. That means that few, if any, members of Congress will change their minds until their constituents change theirs. So there must be a marked change of sentiment among the folks back home before a Congress can be elected which will amend the Volstead act. Up In Churches As the political power of tlio Anti-Saloon League depends upon the so-called church' vote, —and that vote is made up mainly from the Methodist, Baptist and other protestant evangelical churches — the change of sentiment must take place in the minds of millions of church members. It is well to know and'to remember that the great majority of these church members are honest, wellmeaning, patriotic men and women, who really believed they were serving the cause of righteousness when they voted for prohibition. Abusing them, calling them boobs., yokels and fanatics, won’t change their minds. They must be convinced that prohibition has harmed rather than helped the cause of temperance. Before they supported prohibition they had been convinced that prohibition would wipe out the saloon and promote not temperance, hut teetotalisrn They will change their minds when convinced that prohibition has failed, and can't be made to succeed. Many of them are already convinced. But it; wasn’t the hotly expressed opinions of the foes of prohibition that convinced them. it was the presentation of facts before their eyes that did the work. Know About Evils Most people know what is going on all around them. They know whether there is any bootlegging. They know something of wHat is going on among the young folks. They know whether the stories about hip-pocket flasks, drinking of boys and girls at parties, drinking in the homes fid a general letdown In morals, are true or false. Many of them know that beer is brewed, wine fermented and synthetic gin mixed in the homes. But nobody knows how many of them are convinced that there is no possibility of enforcing prohibition —for they are told by their clerical leaders that, if we only have more Federal judges, more United States marshals and district attorneys, more policemen, more laws and more money, success will Anally perch on the banner of the AntiSaloon League. There has been a great change in public sentiment. No doubt of that. But Congressmen don’t know bow great it is. The congressional elections this year may give them a better idea of what the people are thinking about—for candidates will he judged more by their attitude toward prohibition than toward any other political issue.

MOTHER GAVE GOOD ADVICE Told Florida Lady to Take Cardue When Suffering From General Weakness and She Found It a “Wonderful Help/' "T first began Inking Cardui because my mother told me to,” says Mrs. .T. W. Dawson, who resides near Blountstown, Fla. “She had taken it a number of years and it always benefited her," explains Mrs. Dawson. “Shortly after I was married, I suffered from general weakness. ... I was rtizsy and nauseated. I had fainting spells and awful headaches. “My mother told me to try Cardui, ns it was the best tonic she knew of. 1 began taking it as she directed and found it a wonderful help. It seemed no time at all until I was able to be up and at my work with no bad feelings at all. From that time on, for seven years, I have used Cardui as a tonic, whenever I got run-doWn.” Thousands of users of Cardui, on reading this, doubtless will recall that it was upon their own mothers’ advice that they began taking “ardtti. For nearly fifty years, Cardui has been In use as n tonic with results which have steadily served to increase the demand for it and incidentally, to encourage the appearance on the market of certain preparations offered as substitutes. 'this long, “handeddown” use of Cardui testifies to the actual appreciation of it in thousands of families —a valuation which must be well deserved. Ask your druggist. He sells Cardui.
