Filling a Long Felt Want

As women are now practicing law
and medicine, filling places of public
trust, becoming bookkeepers and cash
iers and entering general business, man,
tyrant man, is reduced of necessity to
keep his own clothes in order. A man in
Kansas City realizing the new issue Of
the hour has made preparations to do
this in business like manner. Heproposes
for the sum of 81 month to keep the gar
ments Of every patron in perfect order, to
darn his socks, sew buttons on his shirts,
and do all the mending he requires. This
is an excellent idea. The only possible
improvement he could make would be to
take contract to protect his patrons from
all pulmonary trouble. All that it would
be necessary for him to do would be to see
that each one is supplied with a bottle Of
Reid's German Cough & Kidney Cure.
A small dose of this when one has taken
cold or feels chilly is a perfect safeguard.
1t contains no poison. The small bottles
sell for 25c, the large ones for soc. Get it

A PERNIClOuS INDUSTRY.
The Greatest Vice That Germany Has to
Contend With.

The Greatest Vice That Germany Has to
Contend With.
In a survey of the imperial statistics
of the consumption of alcoholic drinks
in Germany. DR.. William Bode says
that the production of the raw mate
rial manufactured into wine. beer or
spirits occupies about one fifteenth of
the cultivated land of the empire. On
this area of farming land enough rye
might be grown tosupply $500 millions
of pounds of bread more a year to every
one of the fifty millions of people in
habiting Germany, or $50 pounds to an
average family of five persons, which
is the entire food needed by the family
for nearly fifty days, or. about one
eighth more of food than they can enjoy
at present. One-fourteenth Of all the
productive forces of Germany is en-
gagged in this pernicious industry. The
amount of money spent on drink has
been estimated at about 1920, 900. coo
year, or 50. 40 to each inhabitant, or S12
to each average family IF five. Prof.
Schneider, the economist. says:
Among our working people the condi.
tons of domestic life, of education, Of
prosperity, of progress or degradation.
are all dependent on the proportion OF
income which flows down the fathers
throat. The whole condition of our
lower and middle classes-one may,
even without exaggeration. say the flu
ture of the nation-depends on this
question. If it is true that half our
paupers become so through drink, it
gives MS some estimate OF the costly
burden we tolerate. No other of our
vices bears comparison with this
