A TEMPERANCE LESSON
Japanese Abstinence Won Over Rus
- sian Drunkenness and License.

No such, object lesson on SO grand a
scale, in favor of abstinence from
strong drink has been furnished to the
world as in the case Of the Japanese
army i'll the late war. The correspond
ent of a French paper, who had ex-
the daily life of the Japanese soldiers
at the front and in the field of action,
dwells at length upon the freedom of
these men not only from intemperance,
but, from other vices which sap the
strength and impair the fighting quail
ties. He draws a sharp contrast be-
tween these conditions and those
which he found prevailing in the Rus
sian camps, where drinking orgies and
regular order, especially in the officers
quarters; and he affirms it as his con-
viction that the unvarying success and
| the remarkable victories won by the
Japanese forces were largely due to
the self-controF and clear headedness
which their rule of temperance in all
things gave them. We believe this tc
be emphatically true. The worst enc
mics the Russians had were in Their
1rear-vodka,, illiteracy, RIGHTEOUSNESS
These worked to their undoing as much
GUS efficiency of their foes in front
We have yet to learn, for that matter
of any calling, of any sphere of duty
in war or peace. Of any place or
cline. where indulgence in alcoholic
sti1nulants is of advantage to man anc
not a serious handicap upon has man
hood, his health, and his usefulness
Lord Kitchener found that the use Of
grog among soldiers marching unde
a tropic sun was so harmful that hi
laid an interdict upon it; Genera
Greedy came to like conclusion as tt
indulgence in stimulants in the pola
zone; and many of our largest RAILROAD
corporations have laid down rigid rule
against intemperance on the part O.
their employees. Thus does the practi
that the use of strong drink as a bev
erage is not necessity for man any

Wheat Is Best

a4Some people profess to think THAI just

Many a man who 'Iabors'' knows better.
He knows that his stomach is just like
other stomachs and that sooner or later
it will break down if abused, just like

The laborer is not slow in grasping the
Importance of wheat as a food. And
when he finds out how deliciously whole
wheat may be prepared and that it is
really more nourishing and strengthen
ing than much heavier food and how
much better it makes him feel, he then
knows, better perhaps than many of us.
how foolish it is to believe that the
laborer can "eat anything and all he
wants.
For those who have eaten Malta-Vita,
the perfect whole-wheat food, salts

without it. Malta-Vita contains every

powerful digestive agent which converts
the starch Of the grain into maltese, or

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few. People Know How Useful It Is in
- Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take Of it the better; it is not a
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present IN
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and inn
proves the complexion, it whltens the
teeth and further acts as a natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; 1T
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
| form or another, but probably the best
| charcoal and the most for the money
| is in Stuart Charcoal Lozenges; they
| are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal. and other harmless an.
| tiseptics in tablet form, or rather In
the form of large, pleasant tasting loz-
enges, the charcoal being mixed with
| honey.
| The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in much improved condition
of the general health, better complex
ion, sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty of it is that no pos
sible harm can result from their con-
tinued use, but, on the contrary, great
| benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking OF
the benefits of charcoal, says: 81 ad,
wise Stuart s Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex.
ion and purify the breath. mouth and
throat; also believe the liver Is great

they cost but twenty-five cents box

lieve I get more and better charcoal in

Students Help Election.
Madison, Wis.-The ministers of Madison
combined with the university students and won
municipal political victory in the nominal

man Frank Smith the nominee.
After one of the most strenuous campaigns
in the history of the city, Mr.. Rowey was vic
torious in the primaries, and examina ton OF
the vote by wards shows that it was the stu
dents who carried the day. During the hours
of the primaries it was not uncommon to see
squads of students singing campaign d1tties
with as much enthusiasm as football songs were
once sung at intercollegiate gr1dlron contests

in the interests of law enforcement, protest
