BECAUSE OF PECULIARITIES OF THE LAW, OFFICER8 HAVE DIFFICULTY IN REGULATING SUNDAY 8ALE8.

Because of peculiarities of the law and the difficulties of securing conviction, the local police department is discouraged in ite attempt to stifle the sale of liquor by a few druggists on Sundays and ... holidays. The only thing necessary for any adult to do In case he desires whiskey is to sign an application at the drug store asserting he intends to use the liquor for medicinal purposes. More than one man has been arrested and charged with public intoxication who has admitted in court he became intoxicated as the result of drinking malt whiskey purchased at drug stores. The Sunday drunk finds a bonanza in such places. One kind of malt whiskey has gained particular prominence. The police have taken several partly emptied bottles from drunks which bear the trade mark of this kind of whiskey. Was Crazy Drunk. A man was arrested only a few weeks ago who was crazy drunk. When picked up he was unable to walk. And in his pocket was found a quart bottle of malt whiskey, or malt "extract," as It is called sometimes in the advertisements.' He purchased the whiskey at a drug store. This man is on the black list of the ' saloons and they refuse to sell him Intoxicants. The police claim that in almost every instance where a man who is addicted to the use of whiskey as a beverage buys whiskey at a drug store, or purchases the purported "malt extract," he does so for the purpose of enjoying it as a beverage solely, and not as medicine. They ask for it, saying it is for medicinal purposes, and the ' police say the druggists who sell never take the trouble to Investigate further. They are protected by signatures and that ends their complicity. The police claim the local druggists who do the most of this kind of business are very few. They claim all the fingers on one hand are not needed to count them. They say the careful observance of the liquor laws by some druggists is a material aid to them.

Fish That Cannot Swim. More than one species of fish that cannot swim are known to naturalists. Perhaps the most singular of these Qi the maltha, a Brazilian fish, whose organs of locomotion only enable it to crawl or walk or hop. The anterior (pectoral) fins of the maltha, which are quite small, are not capable of acting on the water, but can only move backward and. forward, having truly the form of thin paws. Both these and the ventral and anal fins are very different from the similar fins in otuec fishes and could not serve for swimming at all. Other examples of nonswimmicg fishes include the sea horse, another most peculiarly shaped inhabitant of the sea. and the starfish.

Bridge Builder Died as Wife Dreamed He Eventually Would

Nashville, Tenn., July 10. "Don't work on the bridge any longer, Jim," begged his wife as James M. Garton. a carpenter on the Jefferson street bridge, left his home, No. 1519 Tenth avenue north, a few mornings ago.1 "l" dreamed last night that you fell and were killed." Garton went to work that morning with this entreaty ringing in his ears. But he promised his wife before going that he would quit Saturday night and go to the country, to his home in Hickman county. He told her and his little girl to make preparations for the trip. But they will not go. The wife's dream came true early the next Saturday morning. Her husband fell from the bridge and was instantly killed ten minutes after he had gone to work. Garton lived in North Nashville with his wife and three children. He had been employed on the bridge for several months. Not the slightest accident had ever befallen him. Until her dream his wife had been satisfied with things as they were. But her dream excited her. When he returned from work Friday Bight Garton laughed and jokingly said to her, "I "didn't get killed today.

If I live through tomorow I will quit anyway." Garton went to work as usual the next morning. He was engaged with two other carpenters in removing the forms from the concrete work on the

east side of the river. At the time of the accident the three workmen were standing near the edge of the construction. They were shifting a heavy piece of timber. Because of some misstep one end of the board struck Garton and swept him from his position. He fell forty-five feet and struck the earth. In the moment of extreme excitement his fellows watched the body of Garton double up in a heap on the ground below. Then they realized the situation. Hurrying down to the rescue they found his lifeless forau Garton had been swept off head first and his skull was shattered. His companions picked up the body and carried it to a nearby house. , Garton was in the employ of J. D. Foy, contractor. He was considered by his employers a good workman and bore the reputation of being reliable. The vivd dream and its sequel have prostrated the widow. It is feared that her mind will be deranged as a result.

It is the general opinion among city officials and other prominent citizens that if the present Water Works company may be accorded a new franchise a provision ought to be made relative to charging meter rent. By some public officials the meter rent proposition is spoken of as an injustice. But there

is nothing in the franchise undr which the company now operates that is believed could prevent the charge. For this reason it is contended that the new franchise should eliminate such a privilege. Have an Influence. The men interested in the local waterworks system also own the system at Washington, Ind. With their two plants they are in position to exert an influence that might prove effective if it comes to any kind of a straight out battle between the city and the company. The present city attorney has asserted he will not permit the adoption of a franchise by the city which will permit the charge of metei rent, if his influence stands for anything. Mr. Study has been careful in all matters pertaining to contracts and franchises involving the city and declares he will insist that there be nothing in the franchise that would provide a loophole permitting such a charge.

REFUSE DISCUSS VATICAN'S ATTACK Women's Dress Was Severely Censured.

Chicago, July 10. Roman Catholic clergymen in Chicago refused generally to discuss the attack on women's dress, printed in the Osservatore Romana, the organ of the Vatican, reported in dispatches from Paris. Only one of the leading members of the clergy consented to express an opii ion on the article or on womadress in general, but he asked that his name be withheld. "The charge is made in the article that woman's dress the prevailing fashion tends to er.cite the passions and the Roman Catholic church, of course, stands opposed to this as a church," he said. "I am thoroughly opposed to sheath gowns and princes gowns and if I had a daughter I am sure she would not wear either." "It is altogether too delicate for me to discuss," was the statement of several.

What Milady Would Like To Know

The inequalities of the gifts of the gods are borne in upon a woman whose little housemaid has a complexion of peaches and cream, the texture of the skin like that of a baby. The mistress does not begin to have as good a complexion, and the point that most troubles here is an inner conviction that the little maid does not wash her face as often as is considered correct by persons who have been properly brought up. "I know Mary doesn't wash her face every day," she told a friend recently. "I am morally certain of it, and look at her. I wash and wash and keep as clean as any person can who lives in a filthy town, and look at me. I look clean, all right, but my skin is thick and I've about as much color as a tan shoe. What's the use of trying to live up to moral standards when one has such a shining example of the uselessness of washing constantly before one?" Wrinkles From Heavy Hats. Have you noticed how women are wrinkling their foreheads this summer in the effort to balance their large, overshadowing hats on their heads and to prevent them from toppling over entirely? The cartoonist who recently sketched a modishly gowned girl with her face so completely hidden by her big hat that a line from Vesta Tilley's popular song, "I Don't Know Where I'm Going, But I'm on My Way," told the story and exaggerated the case verr little. It is absolutely true that unsightly wrinkles are appearing on the fore

heads of women who affect this kind of headgear, and if they continue wearing these enormous shapes work to counteract the lines must be done daily. And it is massage a special stroke that alone will smooth the corrugated flesh. This movement, contrary to the usual custom, must be downward, and there is a knack in not rubbing so severely as to stretch the muscles, while the motion acts upon the surface. There is no rule, however, by which the precise amount of effort can be given. It must be left to the discretion of each worker. The forehead at night should be rubbed thoroughly with cold cream, and then the tips of the fingers, put in a row at the edge of the hair, should be drawn down evenly and firmly to the brows. This must be done repeatedly until' the creases caused by hours of wrinkling have been entirely removed. For the final two minutes it is well to rub with a light rotary motion; but an ounce of prevention for these forehead wrinkles is perhaps better than a pound of cure. Here is the way one sensib'e girl tries to get over the difficulty: Before putting on her big hat she takes a separate roll, such as is used for the foundation of a pompadour, and pins it securely to the middle of the head, making no effort to cover it with hair. The roll forms a cushion, through which the pins are run. The advantage it has over the other rolls on her head is in beins tight. Of course, it does not show beneath the hat. The Coat Shirt Waist. Linen shirt wair,ts the new "coatstyle in natural color or white have double-breasted fronts with the upper corner turned back and buttoned like a lapel, three big pearl buttons fast

ening the waist and sailor collar. While shoes colored to match the costume are rampant even to boldness all shades of brown and tan may bo worn with mixtures or colored costumes; In fact, everything except black. "
