Coughs,
Colds

Lots of people look at a cough or
cold as if it were inevitable, and refer
TO it as some ailment, which they
naturally expect during the stormy
winter months. No person need
have the slightest attack Of cold or
la grippe, nor even pneumonia, if
their system is properly fortified.
RExALL MUCU-ToNE will fortify your
system against any such attacks.
Since we make this strong statement
we will tell you how Mucu-Tone
does this: Coughs, colds and pneu-
monia are but the result of a ca
tarrh al condition, which is in
reality an internal sorofula. If the
system is free of catarrhal germs You
need never fear coughs, colds and
pneumonia. Mucu-Tone will do it
because Mucu-Tone clears the syc-
TEN of every trace of catarrh al
germs, tones up the system. shakes
off hanging on tag-end coughs ard
colds, revitalizes the entire system.

THREE ESSENTIALS,

The Importance OF good roads to educa-
Ii onal and religious work is discussed
t hus by Congressman Brownlow of Ten.
nessee:
"The common or wagon roads are the
primary means of transportation and
communication. The railroads have their
uses, and they are important, but people
o not use them TO reach churches and
choolhouses. Christian civilization and
education call for better means of pro-
pagation. Public school work goes hand
in hand with the spread of religion. II
needs no argument TO show that every
church interest and every school interest
is closely connected with the question of
public road improvement throughout the
UnIeG States, Weare Christian nation
and we are All educational people. The
very life of the republic depends upon the
i influence of the churches and the schools
Tor these are the certain promoters of
high ideals i'll citizenship and the inculca-
tors OF that fine spirit OF patriotism which
enables good government and sustains il
wherever established. If there were no
other reasons why the government should
at once adopt and put into practice good
roads policy in cooperation with the
states, it should do so in support of public
education and the spread of the Christian
religion

GA RDENING FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Among the School Notes i'll the RECORD
last week appeared an article calling
attention to the improvements i'll the
appearance of the high school grounds
and how and by whom the work was
done. In view of this commendable
III ovement an article which recently
appeared in the Review of Reviews on
public school gardening is of much in
terest, and would be of great value TO the
pupils of any school if properly executed.
Some of the schools of this state are
already carrying OH the work under the
direction of committee from the
Woman's Club. 1T was prominent
success from the start. Already the day
of experiment is past-nature-study and
gardening are becoming important factors
in educational circles, and All effort Is
being made to bring them within reach
of every child. Boys and girls are be-
coming more and more interested i'll this
attractive work, which takes them out of
themselves, out of doors, and into closer
and more sympathetic relations with one
another. The purpose primarily is to
teach children how TO plant and grow
flowers and vegetables by permitting
them TO do the actual work 50 that they,
III ay have such practical knowledge of
farming as to be able TO make a living
FIR ON it should the need and opportunity
come In addition, they get instruction
and exercise which help them morally,
mentally and physically. Each child is
given its own garden-about nine by
twelve feet-ou the conditions that the
holder must work faithfully and must
not trespass upon Others. II is all inspir-
ing sight to see these little ones cultivat-
ing the ground that it may bring forth a
beautiful flower or a useful vegetable,
and above all, to realize that they are
privileged to breathe fresh air and look
up to nature's God through long hours
of glorious and health giving sunshine.
The hope is INDUCED that this cultiva-
ion of the soil by the children will instiil
nto their hearts such love of outdoor
life that many will turn their feet country
ward and seek living upon farms rather
than remain i'll the city to. find employ
ment in the already overcrowded offices,
shops and factories

that has accompanied strikes in that city
since the beginning of unionism. The
open shop is the question now involved,

to force unionism upon employers and
laborers, the unions say to employers
you shall hire none but Our men; and to
the laborer they say, YOU join the union
or starve. The unions have deprived the
country of millions of dollars in trade and
have robbed laborers of millions in wages.
