Scientific temperance instruction
is now a part OF the course Of study
of every state In our Union.
The first temperance education law
In the world was enacted by the state
of Vermont q little less than twenty
years ago. The movement was start.
ed by Mrs. Mary H. Hunt Of Boston,
whose earnest, self-sacrifcing and in
defatigable labor In behalf Of this
form of education has inseparably
associated her name with it.
Aided by the Women's Christian
Temperance Union and members o
various religious and philantropic or.
ganizations, Mrs. Hunts great work
has gone successfully forward, and
state after state. in rapid succession
has placed these laws upon its stat
ute books. The last state to profit
by this wise movement was Georgia,
and Mrs. Hunt has Just received the
pen with which the governor of said
state signed the last of these laws,
now enacted by the legislatures OF
every n Of the forty-ive states of
the United States and by the national
congress, all of which require physi.
ology and hygiene with special ref
erence to the effects of alcoholic
drinks and other narcotics, to be
taught in all schools under state and
federal control.
This study that gives, with other
laws of health, the scientific reasons
for total abstinence, is now legally
engrafted upon the educational sys-
TENS Of this entire country, and is
fast spreading to other lands. Its
benifcent results, already manifest
in the greater sobriety of the Ameri.

forcement Of these laws will mean a
new generation OF citizens too wise
to supply themselves with intoxicants
and thus the peaceful solution,
through education. OF the alcohol
problem.
Section 1861 of the school law of
this state reads. in part: "All com.

English language. and instruction
shall be given in the following branch
es, viz: Reading, penmanship, or.
thology, written arithmetic. mental
arithmetic, geography, English gram
mar, physiology and hygiene. with
special reference to the effects Of al
coholic stimulants and other narcot-
les on the human system"
In section 1912 is the following:
Teachers shall faithfully enforce in
school the course Of study and regu.
lations prescribed. and II any teacher
shall refuse or neglect to comply with
such regulations, then the board of
trustees shall be authorized to with.
hold any warrants for salaries due
until such teacher shall comply there
with"
The text books of physiology used
by all schools in this state are com.
piled with the view of presenting this
subject to pupils of all grades in a
clear and interesting manner. Thus
all possible provision has been made
for the instruction of the children OF
our public schools in this very i'm.
portant study.

Well, it's a good sign for
SCOTS Emulsion. The body
has to be repaired like other
things and SCOTS Emulsion is
the medicine that does it.
These poor bodies wear out
from worry, from over-work,
from disease. They get thin
and weak. Some of the new
ones are not well made-and
all of the old ones are racked
from long usage.
SCOTS Emulsion fixes all
kinds. 1t does the work both
inside and out. 1t makes soft
bones hard, thin blood red,
weak lungs strong, hollow
places full. Only the best ma
