PROSPERITY AND
PROHIBITION
Never before in the history of the
country was the Christmas Spirit so
touch in evidence as this y?ar. From
all parts of the country come reports
that men and women of means open-
ed up their hearts and pocket hooks
as never before, giving of their abun-
dance to relieve the wants of suffer-
ing humanity.
The only trouble seems to have
keen that there were not as many
suffering as was expected—the suf-
fering being confined almost ex-
clusively to those who on account of
sickness or general debility could not
make a living for themselves and
Iheir families. In all the largf citi -
ft>r instance, where great Christmas
dinners were prepared by the chari-
table associations, they went begging
—only hundreds appearing to partake
where thousands were cxpected.
Great baskets of food and raiment
•rcre taken to many homes where
want and suffering were general in
Kir days gone by, only to be told
fliey were not wanted; to take them
somewhere's else where they were
needed. And this has been the story
Irom everywhere in America. What-
ever may be conditions in other
countries, it is certain that compnri
lively very few persons in Americn
went hungry or cold on Chri-itmn <
P) 19,
What is the cause? Two cause-
predominate, viz: Prosperity and
Prohibition. Maybe a better way to
put it would be, Prosperity caused
liy(Prohibition—for it is certain that
much of the abundance of money in
the, hands of the general public todav
•s by reason of the fact that they do
not spend it for liquor. Kvervwhere
in Jhe United States prohibition i.
more or less in operation, and thous-
ands of workmen who formerly spent
their money for booze are todav
spending it on their wives and fami-
Bes, with the result that all of them
.••re in better circumstances than be-
fore, and that love and happiness and
peace and contentment reign in those
homes where heretofore hate and de-
progation and destitution and unhap-
piness were the predominating fea-
tures.
A" nower to prohibition. Mnv it I
'ween from shore to shore the who! :
world o'er.
ANOTHER MINTSTER
•i ON WOMEN'S DREe:
LONDON, Dec. 27—"The flimsy
bare backed, low bodiced and short
skirted gowns provoke scandal; they!
hire to sin."
Thus commented the Rev. Father1
Bernard Vaughn, author of the wr-
its of sermons 011 the "Sins of So- j
ciety", when asked for his opinion of
the arch-bishop of 1'aris' edict direct-i
• ing woman to rebel against indecent
fashions.
'Io my way of thinking," said j
Father Vaugh, "modern fashions are
as injurious to a woman's body as to
fcer soul. Girls of today are not hv-'
gienic in their habits.
'In no Mii e of the worl are thev
properly clothed or shod. Tn.'ir f.-ct
enn not be dry nor their bo'!:. , varni
Ft would spp„, that their aim in lif, i~
to invite besieging armies of .iiicrob-s
fo fasten upon them and drag them
down to an earlv irrave.
f am told on the best authority
thai thousands of girl- slip into eon
sumption and drop into pneumonia
when if they would pav le attenli.ni
to fashion and more to he.\ til they
might live to ^ee a second or third
generation.
"1 would say to any gir! wanting
to K.t married: Dress modestiv lie.ir
yourself modestly. Create in man a
•aspect and reverence for von If mar-
riages are made in heaven, God our
Father, if you will let him, will bring
TOU jn contact with the man who will
make you queen of his heart and the
mistress of his house. In the long •'tin
icc can not compete with virtue. It >
«s too heavily handicapped."

AMERICAN CIGARETS
LEGAL TENDER ABROAD
American Red Cross officials arriv-
ing recently in this country report
that the American cigaret is a very
useful medium of exchange in ICu-
rope. Two years of association with
the American doughboy and his ever-
ready supply of cigarets has given
the average European an insatiable
appetite for American cigarets. To
day a package will buy almost any-
thing from a trip across some nation-
al frontier to a quick comfortable
passage through places believed in-
accessible.
American Red Cross officers on
the "Budapest Special" carrying re-
lief supplies from I'aris to Hungary,
found their cigarets their best money
and the only medium with which
they could really accelerate the work
011 which they came. At one point
were informed the train must be held
over for a day because there was no
engine free. The stationmaster in-
isted that there was not an engine
available, but a few cigaretes brought
one.

AMERICAN GIRLS RUN
ONLY ALL-NIGHT DRUG
STORE IN GREECE
Three American girls manage the
only all night drug store in Greece.
It, is at Aigon and the girls are Am-
erican Red Cross workers who kept
the establishment 'open 24 hours a
; day while the emergency lasted. The
emergency was the care of 1.300 sick
miserable refugees who recently were
! landed from a transport to recuper-
ate and scatter to their former homes
All were Greeks and most of them
i had skin diseases. It was an all dayl
land night job and the three Ameri-
can girls decided that in order to sup-1
ply the necessary drugs and dres-
sings it was necessary to open an I
American drug store. The sign before |
the establishment reads: 'American 1
Red Cross All-Night Drug Store and
Diespnsary."
