Wren Boy Is Bad.

When night does gather darkly
O'erhead the home roof tree:
and Little Boy IS put to bed.
What are the sights hen see!
Well. If he's heen a Bad Eoy
Throughout the day at school.
If he has failed his Lessons
And disobcyed the rus
Hen see some dresdrus faces
Abou. his pillow prowl;
Hell hear some dreadful noises:
a screech. . sqaeal. howl!
And Little 10y win cover
His poor and frightened head
With hlsnkets and the pillow,
AS he tremblcs In his bee.
And II he's been quite naughty
At ho,nc toward his mamma:
II ne has fused and fretted.
And "sassed" his own papa.
Then VIII these awful beings,
That group about his bed.
Reach right beneath tie covers
And grab him by the mead!
But II he's been a Good Boy
Each long day at his school.
II he has learned his lessons
And broken ne'er a rule
II he obeys his parents
(Why, between you and mel
Not one of thoss bad faces
At nighttime win ne see.
For faces that do scare MIN.
And noises strange he hears.
Are Just his own Bad Conscience
In company with his fears.

Workman on High School Building
 Succumbs to Combination.

Mir. Peak, one of the workmen on the high school building. became men tally deranged and was sent to his home in Los Angeles in a critical con dition yesterday. Excessive drinking and the oppressive heat were the causes of his trouble. Men and boys who think they must drink alcohol in some form to sustain their vitality will do well to study carefully the follow ing article from Success:
 Indeed, the role and importance of sugar as a rapid reliever of fatigue is one which we are only just beginning to appreciate. and which goes surpris- ingly far already. It has been incor- porated into the most hard headed, cold blooded, matter of fact diet on earth, the German army ration. No other food of it's bulk can take it's place It is the belief of careful ob- servers of men, particularly in the tropics. that the larger amount of su- gar and sugar consuming foods they are supplied with, the less alcohol and other stimulants they will crave. For instance. the United States govern ment now buys the best and purest of candy by the ton and ships it to the Philippines to be supplied to the can teens and messes, finding that it's use diminishes the craving for native brandy, and it has long been a matter of comment from thoughtful observers that the amount of drunkenness of a race or class is in inverse ratio to the amount of sugar it consumes"
