Tiere s no sphere of existence that
hasn't its compensations. In bleak
Siberia during the long winters, each
native sleeps with his feet on a dog.
Americans would hardly approve of
this method, but we can have a better
one and it's cheaper than keeping
a dog.
A Hot Water Bottle is an improve
ment on the Siberian plan for keeping
the feet warm. It affords a lot of
comfort at very trifling tost, and it's
odd that anybody would be without
one. We have a good assortment
of Hot Water Bottles, the dedendable.

satisfactory prices on them.

OREGON :
LICENSE LAW TO Off SET
NATIONAL REFORM WAVE
Louisville, Ky., Jan. SI. A modol
- license law, to. offset the demands of
the prohibitionists, Is urged by repre
sentative brewers, distillers and liquor
dealers who assembled In Louisville
today for the flint national conven
tion of the Model License league. The
deliberations of the liquor men will
be continued tomorrow. It Is hoped
to start a public campaign In which
the model license law will be offered
As the solution of the problem of the
lirulatlon and control of the llquur
traffic. Prohibition has become a
paramount issue In the south, and l
rapidly spreading throughout the
i
country, and It Is the hope of heading
off this anil-saloon crusade that the
Model License league has In view.
Liquor men state that Intoxicants are
used In as large quantities In "dry"
territory as In "wet" states, but that
the trade Is carried on by the mall or
der whiskey houses. It is expected
that the proposed "model" law gov
erning the'sale of ardent spirits will
be introduced In many state legisla
tures In the near future.
Colonel Thnmns M. Gllmore Is the
president of the league and the offi
cial evangelist of the new liquor law.
Ho urges the Importance of the wine,
beer,' whiskey and collateral trades
becoming a unit in the defense of the
trade and taking a firm stand for the
elevation of the saloon and the wip
ing out of the low dives and the cheap
griiggerles, which are branded as a
menace to the trade.
Some of the Ideas embodied in the
To Amend Itnto Law.
Rnlo'gh, N. C, Jan. 21. Inre-
sponse to a call Issued by Governor
Qlenn, the general assembly of North
Carolina met today In special session.
The specific purpose of the session Is
to change, amend, modify or repeal
the railroad passenger rate of 214
cents a mile passed by the Inst legis
lature. The enforcement of the law
led to a bitter battle In the courts,
accompanied by frequent clashes of
authority between the state officials
and the federal Judges. It was agreed
that If the law should not be satisfac
tory In Its operation it would be
amended or repealed. It is generally
admitted that the rate law, as now
framed, Is advantageous neither to
the railroads nor the public, and many
radical changes will likely be made.
