;; . Wood Alcohol "About 100 people have died in various parts of; the country, principally the east, from drinktnjT concoctions that contained wood - alcohol," syg the Indianapolis News. '.'It would seem that the danger in wood alcohol has been sufficiently advertised to warn people. The government "apparently has captured those who were prominent in dispensing wood alcohol drinks and there is every indication that they will be punished. That,

however, does not bring back the victims of those who violated the law in order to get what appeared to them to be easy jmoney. 'The deaths resulting from wood alcohol poisoning can be.tn ;directlytb disregard 'of; the law. Those who sold the poison booze knew they were. violating the law when. they sold it; so did those who bought it. All knew that such intoxicants were not to be sold, bartered or given away. "Eastern dispatches report that after several

people had died 'the authorities ; closed the saloons'. The wood alcohol whiskey had been sold openly over, the bars. The illegal traffic had been going on without much fear of arrest or conviction. Some of the blame rests with the officials whose sworn duty it was to enforce the law. In some communities where the law was unpopular no effort, was made to see that it was observed. J If the authorities throughout the country had assumed a firm attitude in dealing with booze venders and had made it plain that booze could not be sold, there would have been fewer deaths.'

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK

- TAPS , Well, Old Tear, good-bye Taps while you dlel You brought a lot of new things to us. . You have told us a lot ot our failings and helped us to step better. You have tripped us up and ; knocked us down and talked cross to us, at times. But we under- ' stood, and didn't mind, because we knew you thought a lot bt us. ' So Taps to you, as you steal away into a past strewn with the efforts of the mighty ' We made a lot of mistakes while you were with us, Old Year. But Taps to them. We went ahead and did things without thinking them carefully out. And then you told us afterward ot these blunders. So, you see, we learned. Thank you, Old Year. How many times we were disappointed 1. What great things passed us by! But Taps (or them, now, too. . Life, after all, is but an unfolding, a sowing and a reaping, a going to bed at night-tim'e and a getting up in the morning, tears and laughter work and rest, while Time plays about us. But now you are going away, Old Year., Good luck to you with what we hare given to

jJ; you. Taps! iT 1 V .11 ! it Itawa 1m m fall n Pan.?

But no regrets Just gladness for chances, and a. million prods ot ' every sort hidden away in the somewhere to find us all anew in the glad. New Year that will awaken us on the morrow. We tried, we failed we won. . While you go, we smile, and a tew years touch our smiles. But we blow our Taps. Listen to them. Old Year. And good-bye!

K 1 JESSIE -ffWuribusly enough, Jessie is really I: Jiid to be the diminutive forfanet.

though it is now considered a separate aame and from Shakespere probably named bis Jessica, "his most sweet Jewess." It has been a favorite arith royalty nad many of the queens of early times were so called. But misfortune has usually attended the royal ladies who bore this name, while the Jesses, the masculine counterparts, have had more suspicious careers. Twice, a Giovanni, or Jeseica, reigned in Naples in disgrace and misery and her Spanish counterpart. Juana La Loca of Castille. went through a royal siege of melancblly madness. Two heroines were so called. Jeanne cT Flanders, or Jannedink la Flamm, s the Bretons caUed her, and the heroine of Hendonne, and the much more noble Jeanne la Picelle of Orleans. Two saints gave Jessie and her ' derivities. a flavor of sanctityJeanne de Valols. daughter of Louis 30 and discarded wile of Louis XII and foundress of the Annonciades, and Jeanne Francois de Chantel, the deciple of St. Francois de Sales. . heroin of "The Merchant of Venice" was an improvement upon Jessie as abort for Janet, or was really the feminine of Jesse, the father of David,

is open to conjectures. However it xnay be, Jessie signifies 'grace of the

Lord.' Her talismanic gem is the amethyst which preserves it's wearer from contagion and protects soldiers from barm in battle. It has a sobering effect upon one of light or frivolous mind. Saturday is Jessie's lucky day and 4 her lucky number. The primrose is her flower. Jessie has v always been a favorite name with the poets, especially the 8cotch poets.- Robert Burns contributed one of the most charming of lyrics written to her: Oh fresh is the rose in the gay dewy t morning. i And sweet Is . the lily at evening close; But in the fair presence o' lovely young Jessie. ; Unseen is the lily, unheeded the rose."

Oxford Farmer Believed Victim of Robbery Attempt OXFORD, 0., Dec. 31. George Paul, 63, a well-known farmer living alone southwest of town, was found yesterday unconscious in his boms with three deep cuts in his head. The truck drivers had come to take Paul's bogs to the Cincinnati market Paul is unable to account satisfactorily for his condition. He went to his barn, he says, before retiring, and received bis injuries there. Afterwards be dragged himself into the house, where be was -found. Whether be was kicked by a horse or attacked by robbers is not known. Friends advance the latter theory, assuming that the robbers thought Paul had sold his bogs the day before. Jn substantiation of this theory Paul says a small sum of money is missing from his pockets. County Detective Frank Clements, of Hamilton, is work ing on the case. Paul's condition is serious.

There were, five more waiting outside on the sidewalk and three in the street car which I took for my home. When I reached borne ' there were nine on the front porch and seven in the parlor entertaining my wife with horrible tales of life insurance or the lack ot it, in which there were visions of orphans in the poorhouse. At 10 o'clock that night the last agent bad spoken bis piece and departed, although several had volunteered to stay all night and continue the argument in the morning. After listening to them all the evening I bad every symptom of every disease that had ever been invented.

Late Suppers and the Snack Before Going to Bed Are All Right and Safe if You Follow with a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet. The stomach often feels empty Just

before bed time. A little bite usually

induces sleep. To avoid indigestion, restlessness and the "dark brown" taste in the morning, take a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet after eating. It supplies just the right elements to aid in digesting food, rests the stomach, provides properties to relieve the tendency to gassiness and sour risings,

morning biliousness and consequent absence of appetite tor breakfast. To

make a practice of always using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after eating

is one of those precautionary mea

sures that repay immensely. This is an age of prevention and these tab

lets are designed to promote liberty of eating and the good-fellowship that

goes with a good meal. You will find

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all drug stores throughout the United States
