ALCOHOL AND TUBERCULOSIS.

We can only mention the vast i'm
portance which alcohol plays as a fac
tor in producing tuberculosis. Alec
hol in any form, mild or strong, is a
protoplasmic poison, and its immedi-
ate effect upon the body is to lessen
its natural resistive powers and to re-
duce vitality. Thus alcoholism ia
vors the invasion of infectious disor-
ders generally, and none more than tu-
berculosis.
Not infrequently the use of alcohol
ic beverages is associated with insult
ficient food; for money which should
be spent in the provision of nourish-
ing food is wasted on drink, and the
poor victim suffers a double affictiofi.
His body is poisoned by the alcohol.
and the natural sense of hunger
which he ought to possess is dead
ened, and he is in a state of semi
starvation, which renders him readily
susceptible to the germs of consump-
ton. insufficient feeding must be re-
garded as an important predisposing
cause, and the same is largely true
of insufficient clothing.-A. B. Olsen,
NJ. D., D. P. H, in Life and Health.

KeIlogg's TasteIess Castor Oil Clears
Gas Out Quickly

Thousands of distressed persons

Tasteless Castor Oil to clear out the
elmer man" 1t is a relief for the
pain and bloating of gas.
Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil is a
new and remarkable discovery. The

out but nothing else. It's all of the
oil but none of the taste, and so well
purified that it acts better, without
gripping, and does not upset the stom-
ach. Children take it readily.
Women and workers indoors find
Kellogg's Tasteless Castor Oil a
quick relief from the distress of poor
digestion, and it is perfect laxative.
Kellogg's is not mixed or favored

CF'rom an Address by Clinton M How
ard)
Suppose the news came tomorrow
that we had established wireless COM
munication with the planet Mars; that
they had heard of our shoes, cotton
and wooden goods, furniture and other
articles of manufacture, and had sent
us an order, accompanied with the
cash coined into American money. for
two billion dollars worth of>farm prod
ucts and manufactured articles, to be
shipped over the new railless trunk
line soon to be in operation. A stand
ing order to be duplicated the first of
every January indefinitely! We would
not have the factories or labor to pro-
duce them; we would not have the ma
chinery to make them; we would not
have sufficient raw material to manu-
facture them. Such an order would
put every factory on double time, and
every man on extra pay. But how
much better would it be if we placed
such an order for ourselves, have the
work, get the wages, and keep the
goods to enjoy in our own honest
Let us abolish the liquor traffic and
such an order can be placed every
year with the merchants of the United
States.
Six cents out Of every dollar spent
In the saloon goes to the man that
makes what is sold over the bar.
Twenty-eight cents of the dollar goes
to the producer Of the raw materials.
Spent for the home in twenty other
ways and twenty-three cents out of
every dollar Cnstead of six) would go
to labor, and fifty cents of avery dollar
Qnstead of twenty-three) would go for
raw material. Forty cents more of
every dollar now spent for rum would
go back to the pocket of the working
man and the producer.
Two billion dollars more business
for the merchants; five hundred mill
lon dollars more to the producers;
four hundred million dollars more
paid in wages to labor, and one million
more men than is now required to
make the goods would be the economic
reward year by year for national total
abstinence

Points
for
Mothers
Games For the Summer.

Duck Market-This game may be
played outdoors or in with five or more
players Two of the players are buyer
and seller. The rest are ducks. The
ducks stoop down in a row with hands
clasped under the knees. The buyer
says to the seller, "Have you any ducks
for sale?' The seller says: Eyes, plen-
ty of them. Will you walk around and
try them?' The buyer now tries differ
ent ducks by laying his clasped hands,
palm downward, on the head and
pressing inward. He pretends TO find
fault with some of the ducks, saying,
This one is too DID, This one is too
fat This one is too tough" etc.
When a duck is found that is satisfac-
tory the buyer and seller grasp his arm,
one on either side, and swing him back
and forth, the duck still remaining in
a STOPPING position, with hands clasped
under the knees. If he stands this test
the buyer leads him away to a place
selected as the coop. The sale goes on
till all the ducks are sold. Any duck
that smiles or does not stand the
swinging test must pay a forfeit, to be
redeemed at the conclusion of the sale.
In case there are many players there
should be two or more buyers and sell
ers
FIyaway.-Five or more children may
play this game either in the schoolroom
or playground. The children are seat
ed with their hands in their laps.
When 'it' says, at the same time rails
ing his hands. Fly away, mosquito"
or Ely away, robin" or ely away"
followed by the name of any other ami
NAL that flies, the rest of the players
are to raise their hands. When he
says Fly away" followed by the name
of some animal that does n9t fly, the
players are not to raise their hands,
although the leader raises his. Any
one making a miss either by not rails
ing his hands at the right time or by
raising the hands at the wrong time
becomes it,
Japanese Tag.-When a player is
tagged he must place his left hand on
the spot tagged and keep it there until
he has caught some other boy or girl.
The game works out in this way: The
one who is 'it'' endeavOrs to tag a run
ner on the knee or foot so that his eff
forts to tag any one else while his
hand is on that part of the body will
be awkward and amusing.

EAcrs TO REMEMBER

Employers in all branches of bust

that every time he is seen entering or

his chances to secure a good position
