POINTERS

Christian men should, at all times, including election days. and in all places, including the polls, and with all powers. in> cluding the ballot, stand against this giant evil, the liquor traffic.
 Municipal, state and federal laws give license to the liouor traffic, ther eby making the saloon business as legitimate as any other, notwithstanding the fact that the saloon is a school of vice. a breeding place of crime, and it's history is one of woe.
 This is nation of the freest people on earth; a nation with the largest diffusion of general infor- nation and religion; a nation of the most churches and educa. tional institutions; a nation honor ed by all other nations of the world;-and yet it allows this cancer-the liquor evil-to eat out it's vitals.
 Every ballot cast for the man or party that stands for the saloon, shares in the responsibil- ity of the saloon crime.
 The liquor traffic belongs to the same category as murder, arson, highway robbery, burg lary and all nameless crimes.
 Notwithstanding the freedom, education, religion, wealth and honor of our nation, there is a worm at the heart-it is the worm of the still"

hOOkWOrm Diseases

The hookworm is a small para site half inch long the size of a number s sewing thread. They live in the small intestines by grasping the mucus membrane lining the bowel and each day suck blood.
 Patients who become infected first complain of chronic head ache, indigestion, sleepy indolent feeling in the afternoon. They become pale and skinny. Child ren usually do not learn as fast as they should at school, having tendency to eat pencils, chalk and often times their books. Children are often accused of being dirt eaters and spoken of as being pot-bellied. Not every case of hOokworm eats dirt, but every case of dirt eating has hookworm. Very often skin ulcers will develop, dropsical con- ditions and heart murmers, and often following this a death.
 How they multiply. Hook worms do not multiply in the bowels. Each female hookworm lays large numbers of eggs each day, they pass into the soil and are matched out, still microscopi- cal in size. When the rains come they are washed here and there and children going barefooted step on them, they attach them selves to the skin, usually just underneath the toes, bore their way into the skin and cause toe itch or ground itch. About 90 per cent of hookworm is gotten in this way, the other 10 per cent is gotten through the pollution of our wells and we drink them.
 Hook worm may be prevented by everybody building sanitary toilet. There are very few sani- tary toilets through the rural and very few of our rural schools have any at all.
 By building sanitary toilets the spread of hookworm is prevent ed, also typhoid fever and num- Der of other infectious diseases. of shoes is a good pre- ventative. Then if everybody would be examined and those in- fected treated, one of the worst to the health of the South would soon be eradicated.

AO " iAi@ oi V CAul uOuS HUH recent letters from of Americas greatest men on the value of business education.
 Hon, Champ Clark, Speaker of the House of Representatives Washington, D. C., says: Since 1 have been elected Speaker I have had it more thoroughly i'm. pressed on me than ever before that a thorough business college training is of exceeding import. ance." o. M. Dickinson, Secre- tary of War, Washington, D. C., 'Contemporaneously with talk ing my general education, 1 took a course in a business college and found it of value to me, not only generally, but in the prac- tice of law" R. B. Glenn, ex- Governor of North Carolina, q cheerfully recommend to every. one practical business educa- tion for their children" Walter L. Fisher, Secretary Depart ment of Interior, Washington, D. C., Colleges giving special in structions in subjects pertaining to business life are doing good work in the preparation of eff cient workers in the business life of the country" J. A. P. Howe, United States Represents tive, To my mind the world is rapidly outgrowing the old the. ory that an education consists largely in practical lines of study, and is taking up the theo- ries that an education should fit the student for some practical line of- work in lite" Oswald West, Governor of Oregon, The modern business school plays a large dart in fitting young and women for their entrance into the business world" " T. c. Picket, Representative from Iowa, The value-even necessi- ty, of a practical education to young people today is obvious that no argument should be re- quired in support of it." E. F. Noel, Governor of Mississippi, Il take pleasure in testifying to the importance of a practical ed ucation, and to the efficiency of a properly conducted business school in imparting such knowl- edge" B. N. Haskell, ex-Gov- ernor of Oklahomr, I consider practical business education of the greatest importance" John w. Kern, United States Senator: Everybody ought by this time to thoroughly understand that business men and business wo- men need business education on the same principal that a doctor needs a medical education. " Joseph M Carey, Governor of Wyoming, Too much cannot be said in behalf of a good conner Slttl CbuSdUlOIl, uo IlOu DCliCNC that such an education can be too highly recommended. "
 Shouldn't the above evidence set tie the vuestion with you as to what kind of an education is needed? Write for catalogue of Americas largest commercial school, the one giuing the most extensive course of study: the one placing every graduate of bookkeeping and shorthand or telegraphy in a good position promptly after their course is finished, the one that enrolls 1900 students annually from over half the states in 4he Union, the school with a national reputa- tion, the Tyler Commercial Col lege, Tyler, Texas. By the use of the famous Byrne Simpli fled Shorthand and Practical Bookkeeping and our modern methods we greatly reduce the time and cost of course. Be one of 600 who will be with us in September.
