W. (. T. U. COLUMN
FOR THE DOCTORS.

We read in the Union Sigma that pr. Frederick Peterson, Pre- lessor of Psychiatry at Columbia University N. Y. in an addre ( :, on ''The Influence of Alcohol uu- on the Public Health" terribly arraigned the drinking of alcohol as the cause of disease, insanity idiOcy and degeneracy He also said, Il believe that human ev0.- utlOn has now reached the stage when the abolition of the use Of alcohol as a beverage is eX- pected and required, note the words expected" and required. !"
 Referring to the necessity for a great campaign of education fo. the purpose of eradicat.ng the alcohol evil, Dr. Peterson quoted as a good example the anti-al- cohol posters used in public hos pitfalls in Paris and the WarlinE printed on their prescriptiCcl | blanks.
 On his own prescription bianks he prints the following
 'AlcOhOl is a pOiSOn.'
 It is claimed by some that a = | cohol is a food. If sO it is a pOis- oned food
 The daily regular use of aicO- hol, even in moderation often leads to chronic alcoholism. Alcohol is one of the most com mon caused of insanity, idocy, ep- | ilepSy, paralysis. diseases of the liver and stomach, dropSy and toberculosic.

We could give more testimonials from the finest of physicians, but space fOrbidS for this issue We will, however, continue from time to time to give these au- lucrative quotations, hoping thereby that the rank and fi.e of the people will be convinced more thoroughly of the evil Of liquor drinking. These men who are making this question a scien- tif!c study ought to, and do know that alcohol is dangerous to the human mechanism, as wei, as to the whole social and finan- cial system.

To Destroy Boil Weevil.

The idea prevails among GER
tain number of persons that the
only way to destroy the cotton
stalk is by uprooting AMI burning
them, which ia a tedious, costly
and hard problem as burning the
green stalks will not be easy mat
ter, but such idea is erroneous, as
we take the following from circu-
lar No. "a of the State Crop Pest
Commission
"On upland soils, where the cot
ton plants are small, it is frequent
ly possible to pillow them under.
A chain can often be attached to
the turning pillow in such a way
that the plants will be caught and
thrown into the furrow ahead OF
the pillow aud be completely cover.
ed.
We consider that blowing under
the plants is as good as uprootine
and burning them, provided tina
they are COMPLETELY buried, will
no tops. leaves or squares left il
sight. Such blowing does not give
satisfactory results when tb'
ground is dry and lumpy, Al
spaces are left through which wee
wills, emerging from the squsre
and bolls, can escape.
The stalks can he cut down b.
running sharp pillow under them
severing the roots, after which
they can be rsked or piled togeth
or and then he burned as soon a
sufficiently dry. They should al
ways be piled before they becom
dry enough for shedding of tn
leaves. as the latter assist materi
ally in the burning after the pile
Of plants become dry"
Mr.. L. &. Gauthier, one Of on
enterprising planters, commence,
this week to pillow under his cottol
stalks, and to make sure that hi
work is well done, he pas passe,
his roller over his blowing.

A VITAL ISSUE.
BOOL wEEvIL AND BAD ROADS.


Bad roads drive business away
from our doors, bad roads will |
hold our sales down next to moth
ing, bad roads will take our bust.
uess to our sister towns. Now, if
We want to uphold our commerce,
we must come together. cast aside
political difference, and work for
the betterment of the community.
If VIZ business men do nothing
to facilitate the planters aud offer
them inducements, what can we
expect from them?
If the Terrace is impossible all
the trade from that section will
naturally 90 to Brousssrdville not
witbstanding the fact that We are
at all tunes upderselling them by
far. DO you know that the Ter
race was impossible for the last
two or three months?
Now are we going to stand this
condition of affairs any longer?
If 50. we may as we'll close our
business and tell to our sister
town you may have the fruits a.
they are too green for us.
Now, business aud commercial
men. could we not come together,
work together aud do together,
what would insure Us tho trade of
the Cotesu and Cote Gelee peo-
pie? to do this we must advocate
the work Of the Terrace and the
road leading to Bayou Tortue
Bridge. If we once got a good
road to the above named points,
we are then sure of the business
from that section, as W. have nc
competitor in BrOussardville as VT
have in the past at all time under.
sell them, and We are again ready
to show what has been practiceo
in the past will be practiced in
the future.
Now, that 1 have no more to say
concerning bad roads. What are
We going to do with the Boil Wee.
vii? We must come together aud
devise ways aud means of bring.
ing about a farmers meeting, and
at which meeting we must have
some of the State experts Oh Boil
Weevil. We must take the lead
and help the planters in getting
the best of informatiOns az 20 how
to cultivate cotton infested sec.
tiOns.
1t We comply with all Of thu
above, we will then have done oul
duty as business men. W. mus
show to the farmers that we ar.
with them, and that We will do al
in our power to advance their in
terest.
We must also remember ths
without the success of the plsu.
ters, we eau 10 longer exist il

the above issues as vital ones,
therefore suggest meeting OF thu
} town people to be called Oh Mon
day October 18th At I o'clock t.

Let us all get together aud worl

the business from the stump TO the

ing to the great credit of the Capital
City. They came to this part of Ore
gon In 1901 and started cutting ium-
Der with n small portable sawmlll
near Brooks in 1909. In 1908 they
bought out a lumber yard at Salem,
and added one department after an
other until today they have n per
fectly equipped establishment for
supplying everything needed TO put
up a finished house from the rough
lumber TO the finest finishing paints
and hardware for door trimmings.
They have n record for completing
fifty houses for themselves and for
others In the few years since they
started. They are building six new
houses az present and have a mum

Secret of Electric, Speed.
We have made all these stops and
come this far in half an hour. The
secret OF the electric system is that
we get up speed In n carlength and
stop nearly as quick. There is no
long, slow starts and stops. It's off
again, on again, gone again. That
is where II gains time over a steam
road. II is also fact that the cleo
trio car picks up or loses power as
1t approaches or leaves a substation.
No one can ride on the pilot cab of
OF an electric car driven by the high
power used on this line and not real
ize that occasional bursts of speed
mean faster time is possible to be
made than anything yet attempted.
