prepared a number Of pieces Of card

Begin the lesson by asking the Juniors
II they often see pictures Of glasses
hung in front Of buildings along the
street or course they yin ali have
seen these. Then find out what the
signs say. Most Of them have noticed
something like this: "A fine glass OF
beer for a nickel" Then bring out the
thought Of how much more a drink
costs The disks OF cardboard previ-
ously given out are now used. Tell
the Juniors that each one has one s.
cent piece that drinking will cost. Let
one at a time read them, as follows:
1 Cor. 6:1O; Prov. 24:29 30; Prov %:
p; Prov. 20:1: Eph. 5:1S.-"F Friends.
Ruined Home. Manhood etc. AS
many as desired Of these Scriptures
may be used. Now that we have
learned what 1t costs a man to drink.
what does II cost a nation? A nation

strong brainy men; and we will see
what alcohol does to the brain. OF
course all intoxicating drinks contain
alcohol. The brain contains as large
a proportion Of albumen as does the
white Of the egg. Break the white OF
the egg into your glass and. holding It
high so all can see 1t, turn in the

recitations and special music viii be
much enjoyed and help to make "Tem-

the close Of the meeting the pledge
may be circulated, also the anti-cigar-
cite pledge, and many Juniors will be
in a frame Of mind to sign both.-Mrs.

by Prof Michael l. Pupin OF Columbia

reason why telephoning through sub-
marine cables has not heretofore been
successful is because electricity IS re-
tarded In passing through them. The
retardation is variable. and is eFect
upon telephone message sent
