The act of Nov. Jl, 11U, prohibited th s.le of distilled spirits ftr bevrape purposes and also beer, wine r other intoxicatinp malt or vinous liquor for beverage purposes.

Whether or not the original act of Nov. 21, 191$. can bo sustaineti as lid v ruler the war power, it seems to us that at this date, under the peace conditions that now exist, congress is wholly without power to xieml the provisions of that act so as to include all beverape which contain in excess of one-half of one percent of alcohol and call them intoxicating. legislation Not .Tustificl. "This legislation cannot be justifced on the theory that the original 6Ct being valid and in force that any amendment thereof extending its provisions would likewise be valid.

The Lnglish equivalent of the American tout i known as a tipster. He doesn't edge up to you sftly and whisper in your car that he has the "dope" direct from th" "feed box." The tipster bawls out to all and sundry that he knows what's what, and that you an have his priceless information for a measly 'alf crown. Much of his harangue will be levoted to maligning other tipsters in his neighborhood. "They talis themselves tipsters." he exclaims indignantly. "Why. they foiibln't tip their own mothers out of a wheelbarrow." And, after drawing a laugh from th crowd, he b-om's very, very solemn and talks in hushed tones about the "stone cer

"have a run! have a run!" is mingb-d with the siren call of the gamester plying his ancient vocation, which is perfectly lawful on Derby day. The soldiers swarm around the "Crown and Anchor" outfit. They knew that game in the trenches. It is played with dice and square of anvass painted with various symbols. Other games that prova highly attractive to the eddying ciowd are "Find the Lady." ' Spinning Jenny," which is a sort of roulette. "Pricking the darter." and our old American friend, the thr ecard trick. From time to time all ryes rested on the royal box in the white clubhouse adjoining the grandstand, and the appearance of the king and
several of the princes was the signal for popular rejoicing. "See the Frince f Wales." cried a London streit urchin whose juick. sharp eyes were the iirst to pick him out. "First time 'e's seen the derby," he announced importantly. The victory of the kind's horse in the second race raised the crowd's spirits to a pinnacle of delight. Hut the defeat of the derby favorite was a facer hard to endure. All the joy seemed to leave the crowd. (Jlumly and silently they began the trip back to London.

WOULD you liKe to know how to improve the flavor of everything you cook by a method that is more simple and requires less effort? Just think of roast chicken beautifully browned, yet juicy and tender, Boston Baked Beans thoroughly cooked and more digestible. Bread, biscuits, pie or cake with a rich golden brown crust. The secret is in fireless cooking, with either an Ideal or Domestic Science Fireless Cookstove. The result is a new delicacy of flavor, less effort, a saving in meat bills of 20 per cent and a saving in fuel as high as 80 per cent. With a Domestic Science Fireless Cookstove you can spend an afternoon or a day out and have the evening meal ready to serve when you return.
A man in his work demands and has all the modern conveniences to save labor and vet the best results with the least exertion. Why should not his wife have such things in her home? We say she should, and the Domestic Science Fireless Cooker is the most important. This week Miss Perkins is with us to show the ladies of South Bend the best way to use this cooker to get the best results. Just think of roast in in one well and freezing ice cream in the

Purchasers of one of the first sets of Goodrich De Luxe Truck Tires sold in Chicairo, W. C. Reebie & Bros., 2531 Sheffield Ave., transfer and storage business, have never "changed over" because there has been no equipment that could meet their needs better. The truck weight, with large van body, of each of six trucks is 7 tons empty. With loads, the weight on the tires is often 12 tons. Yet in spite of this tremendous pressure De Luxe Tires have averaged for better than four years mileages upward of 12,000 miles! If they are capable of sustaining these burdens for long periods, surely they can add much to the economy of your service. Try them! "Mileage Adjustment: 10,000 Miles."
