Life Insurance Company Dis
cusses Alcohol as "A Drug.

The Proyident Savings Life AS
surance Society, n of the WE'LL
known insurance companies with
headquarters in New York, issues
bulletins to its policyholders
which contain not only advice
concerning life insurance, but in
formation as we'll, which all peo-
pie should know.
In bulletin number four issued
by this society there is a most in
teresting talk on the use of drugs.
The bulletin declares that the man
who doses himself with nostrums
and who seeks every avenue OF re-
lief before consulting a physician
pays the highest price for the
poorest service. The advice con
tanned in the bulletin is not to use
any drug or alcohol without ON
sulting a physician. Treat the
delicate organism of the body as
respectfully as you treat your
watch and keep it in tune as you
do your piano. Getting down to
the use of alcohol the bulletin
says:
"Since alcohol is now known as
a narcotic drug, is there any real
difference between the drug iend
and the daily user of alcohol?
Chemically speaking, there is lit
tie difference except that alcohol
is a direct tissue poison while most
narcotics are not. Whether right
ly or wrongly, society has always
countenanced within certain limits
the man who keeps his indulgence
within such bounds that he is not
~noticeably intoxicated. The use
of other narcotics, however, is not
socially condemned as a secret
vice and a stigma attaches to such
indulgence.
sit is probable that occasional
moderate indulgence in alcohol
for social purposes and to a limit
ed extent for medical purposes
will continue indefinitely, but
there are signs that with a more
genial understanding of the fact
that alcohol is a narcotic drug and
not a normal food or beverage,
and that the man who must have
his daily drink is really a drug adj
dict, daily drinking as we'll as OBJ
yious intoxication will fall into
d%isrepute. When that time comes
the daily drinker will be drawn
from the same class as the drug
addict"
That time is near at hand. In
fact, medical science is making it
clear to all that alcohol is a drug
and that it's use even in the most
limited quantities is detrimental to
the human organism.
Men are becoming more intelli-
gent and are giving&more thought
to the care of their bodies. The
more thought they give this sub
ject the more certain it is they
will arrive at the conclusion that
they cannot afford to drink intoxi-
cants under any circumstances

England's New King is Temper
ate.

At the time King George as
cended the throne of England
there were limitations in the pub
lie press to the effect that the new
king is a heavy drinker and that
this might have a serious effect on
English affairs. In a recent num-
Der of the Review Of Reviews, Mr.. w.
7. Stead contributes an article on
the personal Character of the
New King" in which he refutes
the statements concerning the
kings excessive drinking. He de-
clares King Georges punctuality
and regularity in attending to all
his many functions is a complete
answer to the false statement of
his Incorporate habits. Continu-
ing, MI. Stead says:
II will go further and say that
as far as can be ascertained, SO far
from being given to intemper-
ance King George is probably the
most abstentious king who has as
cended the English throne. / do
not say he is a good templar or a
pledged teetotaller, but | do say
with confidence on the authority
of men who know him intimately,
who have lived with him, dined
with him, supped with him, that
although he sometimes takes
glass Of wine, his usual beverages
are distilled Or mineral waters and

Heafthfui Laughter.

The habit Of laughter is one well
worth acquiring. Not the habit Of
silly smirking or meaningless giggling
over nothing. but the well developed
sense of fun and humor that renders
it easy to find amusement in situations
and circumstances that otherwise
might be mournful. or at least trying.
and which bubbles forth, in merry and
genial laughter.
Such habit is not always easy to &C.
quire, especially when the natural
taste and temperament lie in other d..
rections. but. once established. IT more
than repays the effort Of attainment.
The ready Laughter usually is blessed
with good temper. good digestion,
good hold upon life generally. and not
only enriches but prolongs life for
sundry less fortunate, fellows. Who
has not known a man or woman whose
hearty. jovial or silvery laughter made
all the world seem better? The good
laugher, other things being equal, may
be set down as a good citizen and q
good friend.

hoons For Children.

The opinion is expressed by men who
have made study Of exercises for
health that it Is pity the skipping
rope and hoop have gone out Of fash
ion for children.
1t is suggested they are more excel
lent mediums for the physical devel-
opment than bicycles and roller skates.
The fact that small children are al
lowed to have bicycles and conse-
quently make no use Of natures means
of progression is offered as an objec-
ton to them. =
The skipping rope and hoop require
them to run and walk. Young children
should be encouraged to do this as
much as possible, and always with a
springy step. They need to use their
feet and legs, and exercise that brings
these into play is beneficial.

NEW PAPER OUT.
indians at Fort Totten Issue Interest
ing Publication About School.

Vol. /, No. 1, of the Fort Totten Re
view has been received by The World.
It is an interesting little publication,
full of news about the school. The fol-
lowing are few extracts:
We have received many encourag-
ing messages giving us an assurance
of larger and better plant. The In
dian Appropriation bill in the house,
through the efforts of Representatives
Hanna and Gronna, allowed $4,000 for
a new hospital and $4,000 for dairy
barn. In the senate conference COM
mittee, Senator McCumber secured ad-
ditional items of $4,000 for gymnasi-
UNI, $4,000 for a superintendent cot
tage, $4,000 for ventilating system
and had the capacity of the school in
creased from 1926 to four hundred.
While still in the House, Mr.. Gron-
ma was elected to the Senate taking
the oath of Office. He is succeeded in
the House by Mr.. Helgeson. We are
fortunate to have the affairs of Fort
Totten fostered by the above delega-
ton. Superintendent Ziebach is to be
congratulated on the success attending
his efforts for the improvement of
Fort Totten.
On February 16, Superintendent lie
bach completed the payment of 1920
to the Devils Lake Sioux on account of
the sale of the tract now known as
Sully's Hill National park. Mr.. lie
bach is custodian of the park.
The Elks instituted new lodge at
Devils Lake with grand carnival, on
February 25. The Fort Totten band
was over to help furnish the music for
the occasion. The band boys think
they can tell an Elk now, on sight.
Fort Totten is beautifully located
on the Devils Lake Sioux reservation.
The school land consists of 1900 acres
lying west an south of the lake. This
tract has been well named the gard
en- spot" Of North Dakota, with It's
shrub covered hills among which lie
nestled many small lakes of glacial
origin. Sully's Hill National Park
joins the school land on the east. In
1890 the Post was abandoned and the
school established. About 300 acres
are under cultivation, producing grain,
hay, and vegetables. A full equipment
of teams and machinery enables us to
: conduct an up-to-date farm on a large
scale. The dairy consists Of herd Of
, high grade Holstein cattle. Much beef
and pork are supplied for the school
from our own herds. We have COM

In tho Nursery.

Babies about year old take great
delight in throwing their toys on the
ground, often for the pleasure Of seeing
the mother pick them up again. or to
hear the noise made In falling. Tie the
toys with soft strings to the child's
chair and they will be easily replaced
without any effort on the mothers or
nurses part.

Fancy Work For. Children.

Fancy Work For Children.
The children often come to you and
ask for something to do, something to
make, for child's ideas are always
creative Here is some rainy day work
for busy fingers:
A wall match holder can be made on
a foundation of cardboard cut out in
diamond, the upper portion Of which
is much larger than the lower. Fold
the two lower ends upward so as to
form pocket and cover the whole
with silk or any bright colored fabric.
Then bind with heavy cord and attach
ring to hang it up by.
A hanging pincushion is also easily
made. Cut out two pieces about five
or six inches square from bristol
board and cover one with figured
material and one with plain. Sew
them together and then bend the
square thus formed into cornucopia
shape, with the plain side as the lin
ing. Bind with cord and leave loop
to hang by. Fill with absorbent cot
ton or with bran all the way to the
top and sew silk tightly over it. Cot
ton is better, as bran is rather heavy.
A button penwiper may be made by
cutting a circle of bright colored silk,
buttonholed to cardboard or cartridge
paper. and then several other circles
of chamois bit smaller. Fasten all
together with large ornamental but
ton. Even the smallest child can make
this.
A simple footstool should be made
of strong wooden box with the lid
nailed firmly down. Screw on small
casters and pad the top Of the box.
Cover with coarse canvas. Now cut
out piece Of brocade in the shape Of
cross and large enough to cover the
tops and sides Of the box after pad
ding. Nail this down and finish of
the edges by furniture gimp held down
by tiny brass lacks. This is something
for the boys to make.

Points

Mothers

II It's shame to give dog a bad
name, how much more deplorable is
it to thus brand little child. says
recent correspondent. Yet some par
ents proceed to do this very thing with
the utmost unconcern. They give their
little child the worst heritage that
they have in their power to burden
him with. the consciousness that he is
not a good boy and hence that good
ness can hardly be expected Of him.
Perhaps the first thing that any
man or woman has to learn in I'M
dertaking any business of life is the
lesson Of confidence In his own worth.
If a man believes himself a failure,
success would be a miracle or an acct
dent.
And it's pretty much the same way
with behavior. Unconsciously we mod
ell our behavior after the type of per-
son that we imagine ourselves to be.
But all these things are platitudes
which every parent knows. Yet. know
ing them. how often does he proceed
to give his little child that worst Of
all gifts-a willingness to think evil Of
himself!
Perhaps one reason why this is so is
the almost general failure Of grown
people to realize how early in life i'm
pressions are made. 1t must be re-
membered that before child can talk
coherently he can understand, or at
least gain definite impressions. from
conversation which he overhears. This
is proved time and time again by the
chance remarks baby makes which
show that he has heard and understood
something not meant for his ears.
And yet how often his parents take
him out and apologize for his behavior
or imply by their conversation that he
is "terror!'
"Well. there will be no peace fol
us now that Johnny is up from his
nap" says Johnny's mother in thu
presence Of her small son.
Far be 1t from Johnny to disappoint
the expectations of his maternal rela
tive.
This is only sample of the sort o.
thing that grown people repeated!
say in the presence Of children. Ant
It's very great pity. Give the chilt
at least fair chance and don't brant
him at the start with bad name.
