Practical Temperance.

The workingmen Of Atlanta are to be
commended for their action in deciding
against the sale of beer on Labor Day.
The main purpos, Of having II day set
apart on which to pay tribute to the dig
nifty OF labor being to elevate it, no better
step could have been taken than that by
which the laboring men Of Atlanta have de-
.ided to mark the day by sobriety. No class
of men have suffered more from the evils
OF intemperance than those who earn their
bread by honest toll. Self-indulgence steps
In TO steal that which should go to wife
and children, and leaves in its train misery
untold. When we see workingmen exercis-
Ing supreme self-denIal and Sc ling their
faces against customs which destroy hap
piness, we have strong evidence OF re-
form which means much to the home and
the family. Let the money which goes for
intoxicants go the wives and babies in
stead, and we will make good exchange
OF joyous homes for the dubious profits
which may come to a few from the sale OF
lntoxicants. s.-Atlanta Constitution.

The Boston Globe recently devoted
a good deal OF space to the opinions
of men on what form of al lletics pro-
luce the best mental, moral and
physical results. Various experts
gave their opinions. Richard Henry
Dana said golf, we'll known Harvard
baseball player said baseball. Ten
Eyck the champion oarsmap. said
towing; Fred Hovey the tennis ex-
pert, said tennis. And all of them
gave the very best reasons in the
world for their views. Now, as q
matter of fact, few men have time to
play either golf, baseball, football or
tennis, and a still smaller number
have opportunities for rowing. The
man who works from 6 o'clock in the
morning until 6 o'clock at highland
q great many men work even longer
hours than this-is unable either to
play golf, tennis, baseball or football.
But he eau walk, and this, after all,
is the very best exercise he can take.
No matter how many hours o man
puts in at work, no matter how tagged
out his brain is, good stiff, brisk
walk is beneficial. A ten-mile walk
IS the best tonic that any physician
sver prescribed. And the proper way
to walk is to throw the shoulders back,
expand the chest. swing the arms
easily and take good, steady long
,trides that will start the blood to
Jingle and cause easy perspiration.

vention. Han has never beer. able to

No Room For Drunkards.

Thirty of the leading business men o.
Minneapolis were recently asked "Is there
room in your line OF business for an ex-
ceptionally capable young man, who has
every qualification for business except that
out OF business hours he drinks In modera-
tion with fr. ,nds?" In five days those
thirty men had responded each for himself
and without knowledge Of the others, aud
all had the same story to tell. Not one had
any time or use for men in their business
who drank. AS business men are governed,
in their employment OF labor, solely by re-
suits attained, the growing custom OF dis
eliminating against drinking men as en-
ployes is simple and direct testimony rs
to the evil effects OF liquor upon the brain
and hand of the worker.

Lady Georgina Vernon, daughter OF
the tenth Earl of Haddington, is well
known as an authority on dairying as
an occupation for women. She spent
some time in Normandy studying into
French methods in cheese-making.
She strongly urges the practicability
of dairying for women as self-sup-
porting industry, but says that cheese
would be the most profitable branch
of the work. Most of the bad butter,
she claims, comes from small dairies
with only two or three cows. 1t is tc
be hoped, remarks Harper's Bazaar,
that many women of this country may
be induced to follow some of her sug.
gestions, going into the manufacture
of some of the more delicate cheeses.

THE DRINK EVIL MADE MANIFEST
IN MANY WAYS.

The Song Of the siren-A Phase OF the
Whisky Cure Question Not Often
Dwelt Upon-The Only Absolute Rem
edy For Alcoholism q Powerful Will
BY REV. FRANCIS A. ouNNINGHAM.
The sirens sit by the summer sea
Aud they sing on the seething foam
A song OF the rout and revelry
OF their mystic island home.
The sailor lists for a moment brief
And he steers for the lovely Shore
But his bark is wrecked on a rocky reef
And he sinks to rise no more.
Oh a siren sits in the city streets
And she sings the selfsame song,
And she smiles on the noble youth she
meets,
And she gathers him into her throng.
He drinks draught from her golden bowl
And he feels its mystic fire
Like the bliss OF heaven within his soul,
And he drinks to his hearts desire.
He sinks as the sailor sank Of old
In the depths Of a merciless sea,
And the touch Of his hand is damp and cold
And his life is a misery
His brain is racked with young remorse,
And his soul with sin is sore
His excess proceeds from worse to worse
TIL he fails to rise no more.
Oh, brave are the men who sign the roll
For the hate Of the draught that kills,
OF the trade that stranges the youthful
soul,
or the rain OF human wills!
Oh, brave are the hands that spurn the cup,
That scorn the SIRENS call!
But the man who raises his brother up
Is the bravest OF them all.

For many years physicians have expert

Within a recent period. however, a new
remedy, the Pyramid Pile Cure. has been
repeatedly tested in hundreds of cases and
with highly satisfactory results.
The first effect Of the Pyramid Pile Cure
is to instantly remove the pain and irri-
tation generally present and from that time

contact with them and sets up a healthy
action, which in q perfectly natural way
brings the parts to their normal end. ton.
The remedy does its work without any
