Really, you men don't realize the degree of contempt the eastern people-have for the west, and it la because all they see on the stage or read of in books or poema dwells on the unusual or the historical there, and gives dis mally wrong Ideas to the eastern people of what really ia there now. if you men were to hear what we hear you would be fighting half the time.

Georgia is now In the "dry" 'column Jilde by aide with Maine, North Dakota and' ' Oklahoma, making four atatea In all in which: the manufacture br sale Of intoxicating liquor la prohibited. The Hardman-Covlngton-Neel prohibition law passed by the Georaia legislature last Julv be. cama opefcttve at midnight last night. x ne passmg , rrora wet to Bry waa maraed by scene of revelry in some of. the larger cities and , an eaual dis play of Jubilation on the part-of those wno nav women to orive tne aaioona from the atate. v ,-.s ' ; - i The new law prohibits the ''manufac ture, sale, barter, giving away to Induce trade, or keeping or furnishing at pub llo places, or keeping on hand at places of business of any alcoholic, spirituous, or intoxicating liquors, or intoxicating bitters, or other drinks which. If drunk In excess, will produce intoxication. The measure allow the sale of alcohol for medicinal purposes and the sale of wood or denatured alcohol for art, scientific or mechanical purposes, or grain alcohol for bacteriologists who are actually ea- faged in that class of "Work for'scterf Ifio purposes only. The law also pro- riu.es stringent ruies covering sucn sale by druggists. Violations are to be pun ished as mlsdeameanors. In Atlanta the enforcement of the new law meant the closing up of 125 saloons and a large number of whole sale liquor houses. .It reduces the city revenues $200,000 and the revenues of the state 1750,000. It is estimated that between 1,600 and 2,000 men employed in liquor establishments have been thrown out of employment. The anti prohlbltlon element declares the en forcement of the law will be a mockerv. with "blind tigers'! everywhere and stills galore. On the other hand the prohibition advocates believe that the new condi tion of affairs will be worth the cost, no matter how much that be. They be lieve. It will decrease crime and that It means the betterment of the atate and Its people. They declare the pro hibition law will be strictly enforced. Already steps are being taken in the larger cities for the formation, of law and order societies to aid in running down violators of trte law. . Birmingham, Ala, Jan. l.--Although there are many remaining counties In Alabama where liquor can be sold until January 1, 1909, when the statutory prohibition act Is to come Into effect, a very stringent saloon closing act wont into operation throughout the state to day.' According to thla law the night closing hour In Mobile and Montgomery will be 9 o'clock; 8 o'clock In the towns from 5,000 to 10,000 Inhabitants, and 7 o'clock in the smaller towns. " The prohibition voted In thla county last October goes Into force today, results inn In the closing of a total of lfidun. loons In Birmingham, Bessemer and rratt t;uy. Another liquor law which becomes operative throughout Alabama today is the act prohibiting the shipping of liquor from wet Into dry territory. It prevents C. O. D. shipments by making the place of Bale the destination, not the originating point. ntUITGROWEBS AT EUGENE SATURDAf (Special DUpatcb to Tbe Journal.) Eugene, Or Jan, 1.

Portland. One Solution of the Problem. VI A' NNE O'HAGAN, In Smith's maga zine, contributes an article on the servant problem In which she says that a friend of here has discovered a solution. It la to keep twoservants Instead of one, but to be the second one. Aa a suggestion she tells how It la done. ' It resolves Itself Into the very simple matter of doing such parts of the work as require a dainty- touch, like preparing the salad dressing, freeing the grape fruit from strings and seeds, making the beds, arranging the flowers, ousting the sitting-room, and so on, one's self, Instead of calling upon the Only girl for these things. . On wash days the woman who tells the story says that she lunches down town with her husband so that the girl will not have to be delayed with her work, and a sensible consideration for the gltl is shown also In making the washing smaller by wearing dark silk shirt waists, using doilies instead of long table cloths on ordinary occasions, and In choosing simple desserts instead of elaborate ones. "When we have any dessert at all," she Bays, "It Is likely to be Jelly and cnoese, primarily, i suppose, it was De cs use Walter was fond of it; but sec ondarily it was certainly because there was no labor for Delia attached to It. Often we begin dinner with a little rel ish caviar or anchovy or smoked sal mon Instead of with sous, so that she will npt have that extra cooking to do. And a few Judiciously bestowed theatre tickets keep her perpetually grateful. "You say you think that such consid eration would spoil her, and that you don't see why I don't give her the best room in the house, the largest rocking chair, and become scullery-mald my self? ..You're talking nonsense. Delia isn't spoiled, because I thoughtfully se lected an unspoilable kind an affec tionate, grateful - kind. And It Isn't consideration for her it's for myself. If rhe doesn't have so much cooking to do, so much washing and ironing, so much dishwashing, she can do for me the things that I chiefly want done. ene can nnng me my -tea in tne afternoon decently instead of slopped onto a tray oecause sue is in sucn a mad rush to get to her vegetable-peel ing. She has time to brush my skirts and my boots. She can wait upon the table with an unflurrled air. which is a great aid to pleasant Intercourse. And she Isn't sullen and unhappy. She likes to stay with me as much as I like to have her. "Really, I think I have discovered a solution of the one-servant problem. My solution Is. you see keep two ser vants, being yourself the second one!" x What Baby Can Do. T CAN keep Its father busy adver tising in the paper for a nurse. It can simultaneously occupy I both sides ot the largest bed made. It can cause Its father to be insulted by . every second-class boarding-house keeper in the city who never takes children, which, in nine cases out of ten la fortunate for the children. It can make an old bachelor In the next room use language that, If uttered on ihe atreet. would get him In the pen itentiary for two yeara. It can go from the farthest end of the room to the foot of the stairs in the hall quicker than Its mother can step into tbe closet and out again. It can go to sleep like an angel, and Just as papa and mamma are starting for the theatre it can wake up and stay These are some of the things a baby can do. But there are other things, as well. A baby can make the commonest house the brightest spot on earth. It can lighten the burdens of a lay ing mother's life by adding to them. It can flatten Its dirty little face against the window pane In such a way that the tired father can see It as a picture before he rounds the corners. Yea, babies are great Institutions, particularly one s own Daoy. ft Modish Motor Furs. PRACTICALLY every corner of the world hss contributed to the c6m . fort of the automobilTst. .

Squirrel .is pretty, but too toft and fine to be practical, therefore lta use Is limited. Leopard makes many of the mascu line coats, but it is a little too blsarre for feminine fashions. Novelty furs, those with decided markings, usually have one tone collars and cuffs, such as beaver with leopard, sable with, civet cat, etc. An exceptionally handsome' two-tone garment is one of black caracul with vert and cuffs of white caracul, and a napoleon hat- with head and chwk pro tectors of the same pelt,- fastening un der the, chin with short double scarf ends.
