(Correspondence of the Associated Press
FAR.IS, Nov. 8. :;0 strong- drinks for
anyone before noon, and no strong: drinks
at any hour for women and youns people
of both sexes under IS yeara of age."
Such Is the Rovernment order that has
finally ppened the eyes of the wine mer
chants to the earnestness of the anti
alcohol oampnlin In France. By "'strong
drinks" are meant nil beverages testing
over eighteen dearees of alcohol. They
Include moat of the "aperitifs" or appe
tizers, and all brandies and liqueurs.
In the opinion of most wine merchants
the measure kills the noon appetizer, and
the prospect of the loss of a considerable
portion of their receipts has brought
about an aggressive attitude on the part
of the liquor trade. "If we can't pursue
our business," they say, "we can no
longer pay our heavy rents." As the
wins merchants are among the few who
have paid their rents reg-ularly, their
menace has Involved protestations from
real estate owners.
"Any attempt to suppress the sale of
alcohol In wine shops before noon," de
clares the secretary of the Liquor Deal
ers' association, "will simply result In a
far ' greater consumption exactly the
contrary of what is desired. The work
man who takes a small liqueur glass of
brandy In his coffee at the wine shop
will take his coffee at home and pour
Into It without measuring the alcohol that
be can buy by the quart at any grocery
store; consequently more drunkenness in
atead of less."
Distillers, who have foreseen further
restrictions in the sale of alcohol, have
anticipated them to a certain extent. One
of them that produces a beverage that
largely resembles absinthe reduced the
strength of his product from forty de
grees alcohol to twenty-three degrees.
The temperance advocates and govern-
ment authorities contend that if the
strength of such drinks may be reduced
from forty to twenty-three degrees with
out appreciable harm to business. It can
be further reduced to less than eighteen
degrees with great benefit to the public.
Many wine merchants also philosophic
ally conclude that the man who drank
itrong liquors will content himself with
milder ones. The attitude of the drinker
himself seems to bear out this theory;
for the most part he takes it all as a
good joke, with no thought of resistance.
7 b Help Reduce Demo Shortage
by Saving the Pieces of String
AVhaddya think of this here C. W. Mc-
Cune. recently appointed collector of cjs-

ton how hp m'ght save money in the
po8tofrit-e by su-vlng the twine with

away?
That's what he did. This mere demo

of that Grand Old Party, how he could
save money using his spare moments ac
cumulating old-fashioned twine balls!

ter Persiflage Purveyor of the poetofflce.
Oh, he' waa ready with sparkling wit,
quip and rejoinder. Just listen.
Colonel McCune saw a Washington dis
patch in the paper, stating that Fourth
AssiHtant Postmaster General Blakoolee
had called attention to the fact that
many postmasters were saving the twine
which came around packages of letters
and thus cutting down consldersbly the
$2,000,000 annual twine bill of the govern
ment. So ' Colonel McCune gives a
chuckle, calls for scissors and paste.
clips the Item and sends It down to Judge
Wharton with the suggestion that he
start a twine ball. "The proof of the
pudding is In the eating," wrote Colonel
McCune.
Back came a neatly typewritten letter
from the postmaster.
"I'll eat the pudding," he said, 'If you'll
chew the twine."
Pretty neat, eh? Notice the play of
words on "twine." Great!
"I take pleasure, furthermore," con
tinued th9 letter, "In advising you that
under a beneficent republican adminis
tration all possible economies In the ad
ministration of the people's business are
rigidly practiced. We don't even cut the
knots off of used pieces of twine. We take
the trouble to untie them, thus securing
that much additional string for use
again."
Need It be added that on receipt of this
bit of brilliant and scintillating repartee
from the pot-tn-astcr. Colonel McCune

School Girls Hear
Secrets of Beauty
Some infallible beauty secrets were dis
closed by Mrs. Ruth Butts Carson of the
Boston Dress league to several hundred
high school girls at the Central High
school . Thursday afternoon. The sweet
young things hung upon her words of
wisdom and at the close accorded her
much applause. Mrs. Carson is en route
to the Pacific coast, but plans to return
to give a series of talks to school girls
and also a number of parlor talks. Phe
advocates a course In beauty and sim
plicity of clothes to be established In the
local schools.
"Don't powder or paint common boards
are the only things that are ever whlte
wsshed," Mrs. Carson told the girls.
"Don't wear silks, satins or velvets, or
discarded party dresses to school."
Flimsy lace blouses- highly polished
nails, short veils, hair ribbons, the well
known "dip" In the halrdreas and picture
hats worn to school or business were
among the things decried by the dress
expert
Aeroplane, windmill and butterfly bows
on hats, at the moment most popular,
were swatted by Mrs. Carson.
"Tour dress should exprers your char
acter or your occupation," suggested
Mrs." Carson. "The fabric should be de
termined by your occupation and your
pocketbook. The lines of the dress should
follow the natural lines of the figure,
with the waist line somewhere near where
your walat Is." This sally brought pel
of laughter from the school girls.
Mrs. Carson Is known as "the lady with
the. pockets." She has these handy af
fairs on all her gowns, some of them
detachable.
Hao. nwrr Axali,
Mrs. Jennie Miner. Davidson. Ind.,
writes: "I ran truthfully say Foley Ca
thartic Tablets are the best I ever used.
They are so mild In action. I feel like
I have bt.on made over again." Good

stipation. Foley Cathartic Tableta keep
