SOUND ADVICE TO BOYS

BOYS, l know that it is not much use
to preach to you, and that, even if an
impression is made on you, it runs
the risk of being effaced as soon as
you come into exposure to tempta-
ton. But if you could only have, n
these bright, hopeful, confident days
of yours, the experience of years, you
would abstain from intoxicating liq,
uors, not only as matter of princi-
pie, but as a matter of hard common
sense and of your personal happiness,
health, success and prosperity.
There is no denying that intoxicat-
ing liquors are INDUCED in b. many
respectable people, or that they are
associated, in some literature and in
some society, with good fellowship
and merry times, or that some persons
can use them moderately without i'm
mediate apparent injury. But take my
word for it, that the risk of their use
is a terrible risk; that there can be
just as good times and just as good
fellowship without them: and that
nobody thinks a bit the less of a
young fellow because he will not use
them, but on the contrary that every
business man or professional mau,
whatever his own habits, instinctively
turns away from employing any young
man who has the faint of liquor about
him.
Every physician now condemns the
use of alcohol as a drink. Every en-
ployer counts the use of it against an
employe. If you want clear head, II
you want a sound heart; if you want
a clean conscience; if you want a
healthy body; if you want money in
your pocket and credit to your name,
put your foot right down and say that
you are going to abstain from the use
of intoxicating liquors, and keep the
faith. Is there anything nastier thai
a man under their influence? Be clean
and wholesome. Keep your BRAIN
clear, your head steady, your self-re-
spect firm, and you will have life
that is worth living. This is not a.
matter of goodly talk and sentiment.
If nothing else will convince you, ex-
perience will, but it will be that ex-
perience which can only come too late
to be of any use. You may think that
you have self-control enough to take
care Of yourself. But the chances are
that your self-control will be no MOI e
than pasteboard against Gatlin gun
if you tamper with temptation and
once begin the ndulgence-Ex.- Coz.

EHY DON'T PHILANTHROPISTS
GIVE MONEY TO THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLSf

In the current issue of Farm and
Preside the statement is made that a
arm of 100 acres has been decided 10
he schools of Paola, Kansas. Money
n m the farm is used to buy books,
sFcthing, etc, for boys and girls who
Wish high-school education, but can
rot afford it. The editor of Farm and
s7reside says:
This suggests the thought that
here must be many people in the
country who would like to give money
md property to the uses of the public
schools. And there is no danger that
ne schools will ever be too rich. Yet
gfen the laws are examined, we finl
10 generally existing provisions for
Il he acceptance of gifts by the schools
-Such provision should exist. There
IhouId be an invitation held out by
very school for gifts and legacies.
MILLIONS of dollars are disposed of by
viii every year to educational uses.
snce let it be understood that the pub
lie schools are ready to receive such
Requests, and have made provision fer
heir use, and the fashion of leaving
honey and property to the schools
rOuld set in. Why not?"

STEEL CAR ARGUMENT

Railroad wrecks are no longer in
frequent. Each year furnishes a
heightened list of such casualties.
The oath rate has increased in spite
of the vigilance and care Of the best
railroad men, and the list of wrecks
continues to grow.
If wrecks themselves cannot be pre-
vented, at least a certain precauton
in car building can be exercised which
will decrease the death rate.
In France recently, on an import
ant line, there was wreck which re-
suited in the death of 40 passengers
and the injury of so more. 1t develop
ed in the course of investigation that
the cars were of old design, were
constructed of wood and were very
perishable The report further prov
ed that the wreck was one of the
worst in recent years. A fast express
crashed into the rear of a local train
standing at station and the wooden
cars collapsed like eggshells.
The recent wreck in Alabama caus-
ed a great loss of life The satisfy
ing results of Investigations both here
and in France show that cars con-
structed of steel protect the lives of
the passengers. They may be bent
and removed from the wreck in a dill
apidated condition, but the passen-
gers seem we'll provided for in the
cages of steel.
Steel cars are not an assurance
against accidents. This cannot be-
claimed for them. but they reduce the
danger to those who use them in the
event of wrecks. They minimize the
death rate. Recent accidents in the
east still more conclusively prove
this. For safety in travel there Is
nothing that equals this form Of mod
ern construction.
The steel car has already saved
scores Of lives, and many accidents
that few years ago would have re-
suited in disastrous loss of life had
It not been for this equipment have
with but casual mention. The
steel car has saved many lives; it will
scave many more, and the up-to-da e
road is discarding the old wooden carl
and adopting the car of modern make.
In truth the steel car takes away from
a collision its greatest trror.
The nations of Europe are slow to
pattern from the United States. There
Is certain amount of jealousy shown.
which in many cases holds European
back. They are loath to be-
lieve that anything can be learned
from the sons of Uncle Sam. This 3
true in matters of railroad
progress. They have given little at
tention to the steel car in continental
Europe and even in England. They
are sure to adopt it in time. The
wholesale destruction of human life
will not be tolerated when it becomes
known that there is method by
which it can be prevented England
is already beginning to adopt the Am
erican method on important trunk
lines, and other nations will surely
follow.
