CAPITAL PREPARING
FOR BIG DROUTH
Begins at Midnight December
31 and Means the End of Op
en Saloons in Arkansas.
Little Rock, Dec. 22.—The
Great Drouth is rapidly ap
proaching. It will strike Akan
sas broad-side at midnight of
December 1. And everybody ap
pears to be glad of it. For sev
eral months those that have
been and are in the saloon busi
ness have been arranging their
affairs to go into something ejse.
Cities like Little Rock that have
been in a larger measure de
pendant upon saloon revenue
are looking elsewhere for funds
with which to run the public
business. In Little Rock Mayor
Taylor’s administration has hit
upon the happy plan of levying
a special tax upon the mercan
tile interests of the city, equit
ably ranging from to $100 a
year, according to the amount
of stock carriedThe pofessional
man who has nothing to sell na
turally escapes, since it is not
permitted under the constitu
tion to levy an occupation tax.
But the proposed tax ismeeting
with almost unanimous approv
al, since the people realize that
the efficiency of municipal de
partments must be maintained.
State, county, township and
city officials are united in the
determination to see that the
law is enforced, and that they
are not looking for any especial
efforts to violate it. Public sen
timent is with them, and the
dealers are themselves law- j
abiding.
Senator T. C. White,Superin
tendent of the Anti-Saloon Lea
gue, warns all engaged in the
saloon business that theirstoeks
must be removed from the state
by January 1, or be subject to
seizure under the Woods’ Nuis
ance Act. “We do not want to
appear harsh” says he, “but we j
do want it distinctly understood I
that the Anti-Saloon League is
going to seek to have the anti
liquor laws enforced to the let
ter. I am sure a great many of
people who own property orare
agents for property rented forj
saloons do not know that viola
tions of the Woods’ Nuisance
Act by the dealers subject the
property to closure for a period
of twelve months, and that the
agent or owner cannot enterthe
j building without being liable to
imprisonment in the county jail
for a period of not less than 30
days nor more than twelve
months. The League has its own
detective force and was never
better organized and prepared
for law enforcemnt than now,:
and the people have never re-1
spondee! more liberally.”
HOTEL FIRE STARTS
IN ODD MANNER
A calendar hanging over a
stove pipe hole in a flue in the
room of a guest at the Lane ho
tel caught fire Tuesday and
| came near starting a big fire.
When the string which held the
!calendar to the wall burned off
the flaming paper fell on a bed
and the bed was ablaze when
discovered. Prompt work soon
put the fire out, but a few min
utes longer and the fire might
have been beyond control.—

ANOTHER OLD CUSTOM ’
TIME HAS REMOVED
With the passing of time has
come the passing of many old
customs; family traditions are
long forgotten.
This is particularly true of
the oldest of customs among
housewives, that of daughters
following their mothers in the
use of foods and housekeeping
methods.
In the olden days if mother
did a certain thing this way or
that way. daughter did likewise
regardless of newer and im
proved methods.
If mother used a particular
brand of food, daughter was
blinded to better kinds merely
because mother had used the
same brand for years.
But now both mothers and
daughters have changed their
methods and investigate and
compare, not by price alone,
but by actual results obtained.
The old order is changing.
The candle has given way to
the electric light; the old fash
ioned fire-place to scientific
heating methods. Millions of
housewives have changed their
brands of coffee, tea, extracts,
baking powder and otherfoods.
Calumet Baking Powder is one
of the most popular brands on
the market today because of the
uniformily good baking results
obtained by those who use it.
