gcm the struggle tor "America sober1

polnuon, a world figure because or
sjisi undaunted courage. He will visit
Wedtord May IT and apeak at the
Baptist church.
William B. Johnson of MeDonough.
ytrrw Tort, Internationally famous.
known all over the world by the
tuckname 'Pussyfoot" Johnson. Com
peratlvely few, However, know how
he got his title.
When Theodore Roosevelt was presi
dent of the United States, one of
bas problems was enforcement of fed
eral prohibition laws coyerlng Indian
reservations. In that time badly In
fested by pre-Volstead bootlegger.
Booeevelt called William B. Johnson,
already known as a fearless sup
porter of the prohibition policy, and
commissioned him to clean out the
liquor Tendon. Accompanied by a
mall squad of deputies, Johnson ad
vanced on the Indian Territory In
Oklahoma. Invariably the first
knowledge of his presence in any set
tlement was the crash of hla axes
against the heads of whiskey barrels
in outlaw liquor Joints.
: Because of the remarkable success
of. Johnson's endeavors to slip Into
the lawless communities unnoticed,
the Indians called him "Pussyfoot."
The nickname stuck and thus he Is
known throughout the civilized world.
, One of the bis; rum racketeers of
the time In that section openly boast
ad that no man could raid hla Joint
and live. He published the fact that
be was looking for "Pussyfoot" and
would greet him on eight with a
ban of hot lead. News of this reached
Tussyfoot" as It was Intended that
6 should. Not long after a stranger
walked up to the bar of the boastful
fcootleggor. He callod for whiskey,
sampled the same, threw It on the
floor and demanded "real he-man
fire water."
' The bartender filled a glass from
si special bottle on the back bar and
toen turned to look Into a pair or
torty-flves. "Heard you were looking
lor Pussyfoot Johnson; well I'm here,"
said the soft-voiced, smiling stranger
behind the guns. In a few momenta
another outlaw was retired from the
business of selling fire-water to the
Indians, and the Incident added to
the fame of "Pussyfoot" Johnson as
an officer whose raids were never tip
ped off In advance.
Since bis earlier faoe to 'face con
flict with the lawless liquor dealers,
rpuMVfoot" Johnson has traveled on
very continent and spoken In almost
averj country advocating the princi
ples of prohibition.
In loadon he lost an eye for the
dry cause when a hoodlum hit him
with a eobble stone while a mob of
students were carrying him through
the streets of the city. The King of
England sent a message of sympathy,
and Loudon admirers raised a fund
k pay for hla Injury. "Pussyfoot"
jhanked the king, sent the money to
a local hospital for the blind, cheer
' ,uJly declared hla remaining eye
vmld see the world go dry, and In
cited the atudents to Join a real
hchtthe battle against John Bar
leycorn. While making a transcontinental
tour under the auspices of the Antl
jjquor League of America he comes
to Modtord under the auspices of the
Vedford Ministers' union, supported
by the Rogue River Ministers' asso
ciation, the Jackson County W. C.
if. U the Jackson County Civic
leaf-ue and the Unltod Young Peoples'
societies of Southern Oregon.
Accompanying him is Thomas W.
Oelel? tt Fargo, North Dakota, who
made his first temperance speech
when only 15 years of age. At IB
be waa a detective In the city Of
Montreal, helping enforce the law
against the liquor dealers In that
4ty. He faced the beat liquor law
yers In Canada and lost only four of
a hundred cases In which he had
gathered evidence against saloon
keepers who violated the law forbid
ding sale to boys and girls.
, So effective was the work of young
Oales that throats were made against
bis life. At one time he waa assault
ad on the street by a gang of hood
lums, who resented his dry efforts,
and at another time he narrowly
escaped assassination when a shot
fired by one of hla enemies perfo
rated his hat.
' Following hla earlier experience
in the warfare against strong drink
while a boy In Canada, Oales came
to Chicago to atudy for the ministry.
He became associate pastor with Dr.
Johnston Myers of the Emmanuel
Baptist church, and waa placed In
charge of the Central Mission on
South Clark atreet In that city. Here
night after night he saw the effects
of the saloon aa he worked to help
the hundreds of hopeless drunksrds
who spent all they could beg In the
bar-rooms.
Following his experience In the
ministry, Galea Joined the forces of
the Antl-8sloon league first In Wis
consin, and then aa the state super
intendent In North Dakota. In the
latter state he has been the leader In
the fight to prevent repeal of pro
hibition laws, directing state-wide
campaigns and opposing the efforts
of the wet forces at the state capltol.
He la decidedly worth hearing.
All who are not afraid Us hear the
truth about the liquor question will
make special efforts to hear these
men.

sands of workers and peasants poured
Into the square from three streets,
forming a solid, seething mass of
humanity, filling the whole square
as tfiey marched slowly , through,
singing, yelling, cheering and waving
endless banners, effigies and signs
chrontclllng the progress of socialist
construction.
n a brief speech to the military
Voroshllov extended greetings to the
"workers of the world."
"In our country, only,' ha said,
"we are the masters, while in the
western countries demonstrations to
day will be met by police rifles and ;
machine guns." i

NEGLECT OF COMMON
CONSTIPATION IS A
SERIOUS MATTER
Prevent This Condition With
Kellogg's All-Bran
The first question your doctor
asks is whether you are constipated
or not. He knows that this condi
tion may cause headaches, loss of
appetite and energy, sleeplessness.
It is often the starting point of
serious disease.
You can prevent and relieve com
mon constipation so easily. Just
eat a delicious cereal once a day.
Laboratory testa show that Kel
logg's All-Bran provides "bulk"
to exercise the intestines, and vita
min B to further aid regular habits.
All-Bran is also a rich source of
blood-building iron.
The "bulk" in All-Bran Is much
like that found in leafy vegetables.
Within the body, it forms a soft
mass. Gently, it clears out the In
testinal wastes.
Isn't this "cereal way" safer and
far more pleasant than taking pat
ent medicines so often harmful?
Two tablespoonfuls of All-Bran
daily are usually sufficient. With
each meal in serious cases. If not
relieved this way, see your doctor.
Enjoy All-Bran as a cereal, or
use in cooking. Get the red-and-green
package at your grocer's.
