A Quaker whisky Cure.

Minneapolis Journal
William Penn was once urging q
man he knew to stop drinking to ex-
cess, when the man suddenly asked:
Can you tell me of an easy way to
do it,"
Yes replied Penn, readily: ut is
just as easy as to open thy hand
friend"
" Convince me of that" the man ex-
claimed. and 1 will promise upon my
honor to do as you tell me-"
We'll. my friend" Penn answered
Whenever thee finds a glass of liquor
In thy hand open that hand before the
glass touches thy lips, and thee will
never drink to excess again"
The man was so struck by the sim
plicity of the great Quaker's advice
that he followed it and reformed.

suggestion that inasmuc as a large
surplus was left in the state treas
ury under the assessment of the last
year or two. that the increase in val
ues that is to be forced for the fall
collections, should be offset by reduc-
tion of the rate. Here is the Pratt
willie Citizen whose editor is State
Senator. and who voted for the admin
sstration measure which says:
The tax commission which meets in
Prattville today. has announced that
they will raise the tax values to six
~ per cent in Alabama. This will
raise she taxable values of property in

There is no reason why the State tax

The Boy Problem.

more properly, "a formula. for keep
ing the boy on the farm" The au-
thors of all these articles, or nearly
all of them, are men advanced in
years; so old, l often think that they
have forgotten that they ever were
boys themselves. | believe that many
fathers forgot all about their boy
hood days long before their sons at
tain to manhood.
The time-honored maxim 1.-THE boy
is father to the man" comes into play.
Can you honestly expect any more of
your son than your father dared ex-
pect of you? "Oh, we'll" you say, I'VE
worked from sunrise until sunset when
was a boy so on. You did. but all
you had to do was to drive one horse
up and down a corn row and hold to
the handles. Your boy has to take
four horses out and use a two-row
cultivator What he lacks in manual
labor he must make up in brain work.
Then, isn't the boy the same even
though things have changed? Let us
look into this. You will have to par
don me for being rather personal.

man of him as soon as possible, not to
the extent of caring for sick pigs and
calves until they get big and well

but in material things. If he raises
a pig or calf let him have the money,
