The campaign starts January 16, the day the National Prohibition Amendment becomes effective, aud will one week, under the direction of Edward Young Clarke, of Atlanta. The total ouota for the six southern states is $2,875,000, divided as follows: Mississippi, Florida, South Carolina, 000; Alabama, Tennessee, $600,000. "While reports from every section encouraging and indicate success for the campaign, we must take nothing' for granted," said H.

B. Minium, of the United Trust Company, of Jacksonville, chairman of the state executive committee for Florida. Fighting Prohibition "The unceasing efforts which have marked the organization work preliminary to the opening of the actual campaign for funds must be continued right through to the last minute. There must be no relaxation anywhere." "The same tireless energy that hw marked the successful fight to drive bom America the legalized sale of 11- must continue through this movement to provide the sinews ot war with, which to enforce the laws that have banished the traffic and to continue the attack upon it la other lands where it taken foothold. "The element boasts that, it baa billions of dollars with which to Prohibition; that if it eaanot treak it down in the courts it make prohibition offensive and the in enforcement notorious that the people will demand a reton to the legalised saloon.

The liquor forces, driven to the last ditch, are making the hardest fight of their lives. Renewed attacks now are being made in the to nullify the Prohibition laws. "While these legal moves doubtless will be checkmated by the able counsel representing the drvs, it cannot be without great expense.

If we are to see the work of years upheld and vindicated we most provide the funds with which to bring it about We must more than match dollar for dollar with the liquor traffic--we mast provide sufficient funds to overwhelm them at their own game. "The speed and effectiveness with which the remaining work is Jo be done almost entirety upon the moral and ftnnffiffnl aupport co-operation of those who have possible the remits so far achieved. Calling to South. "The Prohibition farces are canine now to the South to finish the lob. Here, where Prohibition was cradled, is the place to set the pace and blaze the way tor the balance of the nation and the world.

"This campaign does not propoae to interfere with individuals; it is waging no war on tobacco; it i driving only toward enforcement of the law already on the statute books and the enactment of others that may be necessary to reinforce them. "It is intended primarily at a campaign ot education. Literature to counteract the propaganda of the is being disseminated, meetings will be held and dry candidates wffi be supported against those of the wets for every political office from president downward. "Officers charged with enforcement of the Prohibition laws will be encouraged and upheld so long they do their full duty and those who are lax will be vigorously opposed at the polls." "In addition to the great work of law enforcement and combatting the liquor propaganda in this country there is the greater taak of carrying war on liquor traffic into other countries.

New Smyrna Grocery Co. TELEPHONE NO. 3 VARIATIONS SHOWN IN FACE Surprising the Human Countenance Are Revealed by the Camera. In many Instances it will be found that a person's features are not at all regular, says London Answers.

When photographed with only one side of the face showing, for instance, It is sometimes surprising how unlike the persoa the portrait appears to be. The cheek on one side will, in a number of cases prove to be more rounded than the opposite one, while the difference in the ears is often lymark-- able. If an upright line were drawn through the center of the face, marked variations would be seen. The forehead on one side would sometimes look higher than the other. The eyebrows as well differ In length, and on one side perhaps their curve would be greater than on the opposite side.

The right eye in a number of cases will be not only a little larger, but also the color will vary in shade. The top lids, teo, will differ materially--the bottom lids being more.noticeable in their unlikeli- ness. Then the mouth has its irregularities. The movements of the under lip on the one side are in direct contrast to the other, and this is noticed when a persoo is speaking. The nose likewise is not alike both sides, and a careful study will discover a difference in the nostrils.

Sometimes one is larger than the other, and by putting a ruler across the face just nnder the nose, aftfl scrutinizing th? top of the face, these variations will be seen. REAL USE FOR "BEST MAN' In Other Times, He Was Not, as Today, Merely a Lay Figure at the Wedding. An outcome of the primitive procedure of seizing another man's bride at the altar was the comparatively recent custom in Sweden that marriage tnSe place only after dark. The early Scandinavian idea was that it was not dignified for a warrior to woo a woman. Therefore he waited until she had been successfully courted by another, and then, when the -marriage was about to take place, he appeared with his companions to carry off the bride.

Knowing the danger, a prospective bridegroom took measures to prevent his prize from being snatched away from him at the eleventh hour. Behind the altar of an ancient church at Husanby, Gothland, is an old cellectlon of leng lances, with sockets for torches, which. illustrates the methods of defense resorted to. These were supplied te the groomsmen to furnish protection as well illumination for the ceremony. All these groomsmen, were "best men" because they were the mest powerful of the bridegroom's friends.

But there was one special "best man" to protect his friend's bride, as he would help him steal another's. And it is in this capacity of protection rather than as accessory before the fact that the best man has come down through time and stands at your today. Birds' Island Refuge. On the west coast of Newfoundland stands aft island, with perpendicular rocky sides, rising nearly 400 feet out of the sea. It Is about three acres ift area at the top.

It seems to have been cleft from the mainland and is safely beyond reach of duck shot. Late in April the guillemots gather in the sea around this Island in hundreds of thousands; and some fine morning, when the snow has disappeared from the top, they rise in a compact body flping fully a thousand feet in the air, then lowering and circling for half an hour around and around the top of the island, darkening the ground with the shadow of their wings, then settling on the top and turning the white, lime- stained surface a shining black. Once settled they will not leave the island in a body till the last of unless a snowstorm comes. Then they take to the sea again until the snow has melted from their nesting place. Pup Likes Strawberries.

I told you a little while ago about the fruitarian pup, which ate apples and bananas and pineapple, and whose owner was only waiting for the strawberry season. I hear now that the pup's passion for strawberries is almost in. credible, eicept to those who have seen him quivering with anticipation when the fruit comes on the table. When ottered a piece of meat and a strawberry, he takes the latter without any hesitation; and he does not ask for cream or sugar. Indeed, his fondness for the fruit has proved hla undoing; and at present he is not only in disgrace for clambering on the table and stealing strawberries from a bowl, but he is also a little unwell.
