An Unsolved Problem Gastonia Gazette. Fifteen people are dead; four are permanently blinded; and dozens are seriously ill in Peoria, Illinois —a city of only 80,000 population— from the effects of drinking poison whiskey. And all of this in one short week-end. Is this suicide? Some might be >o unreasonable as to term it thus. Is it murder, with the blood on the hands of the Anti-Saloon League aid prohibition? Some will be so oitter and unjust as to say that it s. But it is neither suicide nor mur :ler, nor does it approach a likeness ! onto either of these accusations; end both of them have been made, time and time again, within the oast few years, since our nation en tered upon its present era of so railed dryness. Then, what is it, you say. It has A LITTLE MISLEADING! Milton received $50 for writing Paradise Lost; Young Stribling and Jack Sharkey pocketed over $200,000 for less than half an hour’s work at their cauliflower carnival three weeks ago at Miami—that’s the difference between brains and brawn. Likewise there’s a differ ence in gas and oil. SIN CLAIR GAS and OPALINE OIL proves this. That es sential excellency will al ways be found in these pro ducts. Cleveland Oil Co. Distributors but one obvious classification—It is the price that must be paid by a blameless people for the folly of a nation whose vaulting ambition, like that of Macbeth, "O'erleaped itself and fell on the other.” Instead we have been too ambitious, for the temperance we sought to achieve —ere the fertile brains of the more fervent workers conceived the idea of prohibition—is now infinitely further from its realization than it was in the closing days before the passage of the Volstead act. That fact, of course, is debatable. Just as are all the rest with reference to the question. It is an undeniable truth that the attitude of the United States to ward the whiskey “problem" has in creased our economic efficiency, has helped our industrial prosperity; has helped us In our growth in wealth and power. But therein lies the pity of the thing—for that is as far as it goes. If we parade our prohibition laws as successful, and shout from the housetops our praise of the accomplishments of the Volstead law—if we do—we are placing ourselves in the foul dust at the feet of materialism, and of fering up sweet smelling incense to the offensive god of economic power. I say, that is as tar as it goes. Consider a moment. Have we, as a nation, increased our respect, tor the Volstead law since its passage? No. To the contrary, we have made a universal joking matter of the situ ation—in our magazines, in our conversation, in our public ad dresses, in our books—everywhere, on every hand, one senses a daily growing disrespect and disregard tor the supposed prowess of the 18th amendment to our constitution. And another thought, we, unlike the English, live in a nation that does A SERIOUS CHANGE Kentucky Lady Wat Seriously III (or Months Bat Was Finally Relieved By Cardoi. Lawrenceburg, Ky.—"At a time In my life, when my health was under going a serious change,” says Mrs. J. C. Ray, who lives near here. "I found Cardul to be of the greatest benefit to me. I was seriously ill for about two months, and for sev eral months I was not well. My nerves were all unstrung. I could not bear the least noise around me. I could not sleep. “My head ached until It seemed as if it would burstr My feet and limbs swelled dreadfully. I frit tired all the time. When I was up, I dragged around the house, but most of the time I spent on the bed. "1 got Cardul and began taking it regularly. Very soon I could see that it was helping me. I began to sleep better and eat more. The awful nervousness got better. ‘‘When' I had finished the first bottle, I was much better than 1 had been for many weeks. I was so encouraged that I kept right on. Before Very long I was doing all my housework and was feeling quite well.” Thousands of other women have been helped by Cardul after long suffering from, weakness and ner vousness. _NC-198 You can barely hear it! GENERAL ELECTRIC Refrigerator When the proud owner of a General Electric Refrigerator takes her friends in to see it, the first comment it apt to be “Why it’s so quiet —you can barely hear it.” The unique construction of these refriger ators has established a new Standard for quiet operation! T his design, however, accom plishes something even more important. It makes possible the top-unit arrangement—a distinctive feature found only in the General Electric Refrig erator. Placing the unit on top ■takes it possible to enclose all the machinery in an her* metically sealed steel casing. There, always oiled, it remains safe from dust and difficulties.

C. not laugh at anything unless there is caused to laugh. Have we, in our “dry” regime, be gun to curb the tide of crime in these United States. Hardly—for instead, we have brought upon our selves, most uncontrollable waves of crime that the world l.as ever known. And that is easily explain ed, quite easily, by the fact, un questioned, that we have created, by our liquor laws alone, an entirely new and steadily growing race of criminals in our country. The boot legger; the moonshiner; the rum runner; the speakeasy proprietor— they all belong to the same clan, and they were all brought into ex istence solely through the effect of Volsteadism. Have our morals been bettered. In a general way, because it is "against the law," to do a thing that our people do regardless of the law? Our morals, if anything have been depressingly degraded; although the word ‘morals’ is one that can hardly be defined. We have made technical law-breakers of many of our outstanding citizens; we have put whiskey in the reach of the high school boy and girl—and that alone has served to aid a universal moral breakdown among the young and inexperienced—we have made the day laborer and cotton mill hand spend his family's money for bad whiskey and patent medicines that ruin his body and his brain, instead of for whiskey that was less harmful; we have gummed our moral machinery almost beyond re pair. And it is true about the poor white man—he still has his Satur day night orgies, just as of old and he will let his family starve for a bottle or doped booze for himself. The jails are usually full of groggy drunks on Monday morning. We read daily of our blind and our bedridden and our dead who are victims of poison whiskey But that does not stop, nor lessen, the flow of liquor in America. And where those same people restored to sight or health or life, they would prob ably repeat their folly. Such is hu man nature—for mankind cannot be taught in a few short centuries, let alone a paltry decade, to dis pense with something that has been its own for countless thousands of years that have left their mark in delibly upon man's character and being. Have other nations followed our example in th<* attempt to outlaw whiskey? No, nor will they—for they Have struggled, wisely, and at tained a degree of temperance that is remarkable and almost unbelieve able. They are satisfied, and quite rightly so. Oh, noble, noble experiment.

RARE HEART TREATMENT SAVES MAN FROM DEATH Paris.—The operation of blood transfusion direct to the heart has been successfully performed by two French physicians, Achard and Cournand. Describing the technique employ ed, in a paper read at a meeting of the academy of medicine, they ex plained that the patient, suffering from typhoid, had two relapses. Intra-venous transfusion was out of the question, the patient being In a dying condition, and blood was injected into the cavities of the heart. Improvement was rapid and the patient recovered.

Is "the low down” on the gangster who of late has been described as entertaining the elite of the winter resort, and in general, to again use the terms of his kind “living the life of Riley." $7,200 Parties. ' It Is quite true that Capone docs entertain the elite of the winter colony. No doubt about that, invi tations to his parties are eagerly accepted. The parties are things to talk about, one at which there were 60 guests a fortnight or so back 1* said to have, cost Capone $7,200 for he is a lavish host. But it is equally true—and this Is the test of Capone's social stand-' ing—he never Is received in the homes of the elite whom he enter tains. The elite goes to his parties just as when in San Francisco in the old days, they would visit the Bar bary coast. The elite merely goes slumming when it goes to Capone's It wants a thrill. And Capone is glad to have them for several reasons. One is his re vulsion to loneliness. He is afraid to mingle with crowds of what might be termed to be “his own.” So if he cannot with satety min gle where the lights are bright and the saxophone moans. he'll take the elite and gladly foot the bills But every moment they are within the walls of his estate, his guests, be they rated high in Bradstreet’s or listed in the social registers of half a dozen cities, arc like himself, constantly and always under the guns of his body guards These young men are well dressed. Yes. as any of the? guests; some of them dance divinely, but their well fitting dinner coats or lounge jackets cover automatic pistols ever ready to spit fire. The guests may drink as much as they wish, and may drink too much. Capone himself may "get a jingle one,” but not these quite affable young men—at least not while on duty. There arc, or were at last ac count, eight of these young men in addition to the usual retinue or house servants and chauffeurs, all ol •whom are picked and under more or less strict surveillance, for Capone really trusts few outside the eight. There are times when he is not sure of all of them. Each guard or servant is a potential spy on the others. THE STUB’S SALE.
