OVU LUXURY POWER If the appetite for luxuries is, as has sometimes been held, an index of civilization, the development of the United States since the pre-war days has been prodigious. The bu reau of the Mint has estimated that in 1915 cur consumption of gold for use in the arts amounted to more than $37,000,000 worth. In 1919 the total soared to $65,000,000 and for the first time since the aurifer ous year of '49 we made use of more gold in this country than the nation itself could supply from its mines. Very few of the arts in which gold is a factor can be regarded as absolutely indispensable . to the well-being of man. Populations in want of food or unable to pay high prices for necessities do not clamor insistently for jewelry and, even though it would minister to their esthetic sense, they refrain from buying such expensive trinkets. Doubts have been entertained concerning what the war taught us. There can be no question, however, that after the victory we imposingly realize our luxury power and were under no marked restraint in exer cising it. NOISE FOR THE GRAVE There was no "whiskey rebellion" in Michigan. There was no thought or shadow of one. What you heard last week was merely the shade of J. Barleycorn giving still another vicious rattle to the gate of that Gehenna to which all demons go when -they die. In Michigan there were federal agents and county officials . whose personal egotism temporarily un balanced .them. P. A. McDonough, the county prosecutor, who was said to have flouted the federal au tfiorities, loudly disclaimed any de- sire , to question the. . authority of federal-prohibition agents. A good deal of tact is necessary to the proper enforcement of any in-j ternal revenue law and in this in stance thf rpvptino n o-cmtc anil tho county prosecutor seem to have been alike tactless. What was re- ported as a "rising" among the for-J eigners in Iron county was a case of misunderstanding and mistaken i identity. There may be differences of opin ion about some, of the clauses in the prohibition amendment, but what ought to be apparent to everybody is that no one in this country, na five or fnrpijrn hnrn is fnnlish , ' , recital will be rea'lv Mamh enough or thirsty enough openly toi'ltt I ' i ZJ-i?-L: TCh - Send L.k. uutn.ui.e nits owu upmiuub iui law of the land.

"What will stop my hair coming out?" Reply: Parisian sage (liquid form) is the best remedy for hair and scalp troubles; said to prevent baldness, grayness and dandruff. "Before going to bed, I always rub a little Parisian sage into my scalp," says a woman whose thick, soft and fluffy hair is greatly admir ed.
