SUGGESTIONS FOR THE USE
OF SCIENTIFIC TEMPERANCE
LITERATURE IN SUNDAY
SCHOOLS.

lhe average temperance lesson, as
taught in the average Sunday school,
is all too frequently anything but in
teresting. Indeed, how can it be
otherwise? To expect the normal
boy, squirming around in his seat,
and the giggling girl in the corner,
to sit still and listen to a tedious
homily on the theme, Wine is a
mocker," is to demand something SUI
perhuman. 1t almost takes a genius
to teach the ordinary temperance les
son and make it effective and inter
esting.
This defect in the teaching of tenn
perance in the Sunday schools has
been largely due to a lack of the
right material for use in such lessons.
The hard-worked teacher has done
his best with the material he had be-
fore him, and he had little time or
opportunity to gather other material.
But today, the regular lesson-ma-
teria1 available for his use has been
supplemented by the splendid Scien-
tifc Temperance Series, SO that he
may have the best possible selection
of striking facts and object lessons
at his fingers ends.
This series, prepared with the
greatest care by the Scientific Tenn
perance Federation of Boston, shows
with scientific accuracy the effects
of alcohol in connection with hered-
ity, disease, athletics, pauperism,
crime, insanity, divorce, accidents,
scholarship, industrial efficiency, ETC.,
etc. Lavishly illustrated with charts
and diagrams, it makes the truth so
plain that it may be read at a glance.
Material suggested for use:
Large posters to be placed be-
fore the entire school, or in each

The farmers did not try to work
off any OF this sort of rot. They
destroyed the hawk that was de-
stroying their chickens.
Just 50 it is proposed to destroy
the institution known as the saloon,

This Hawk Killed Forty Hens

ton Of Boston, had occasion to get up some
ammunition for a local option fight at Hudson,
Mass. One of the features was a stuffed hawk that had an
noyed some farmers by killing their hens. The angry farmers
shot the hawk and stuffed it. Miss Stoddard put the hawk on
exhibition in Hudson with the legend:
"This hawk killed forty hens. Did the farmers license
him? They shot him"
The farmers did not say CAV! What's the use! Let him
go on KILN the hens SO we can get the feathers"
They did not say CAV, gwan! If we kill this hawk,
some other hawk will come an why discriminate between
hawks? If we could kill all the hawks at wunst, it would be
different. Let the hawk go along an we will get some of the
meat"
The farmers did not say "That hawk has got a lot O
money invested in claws an we don't want to destroy all his
property. 1t amt right.
The farmers did not say, I'm agin interferin' with the
hawks personal liberty. Hasn't he a right to make his Twin
jest as he sees fit? Why should we interfere with the hawks
privit business an dictate to him as to what he shall eat and
drink?

BABY SEALS FLEE AQUARIUM;
ONE CAUGHT, OTHER MISSING
Tiny and Togo Find Hole Leading
Into River.

-
Into River.
Two adventurous baby seals, which have
been boarding at the aquarium in Fair
mount Park, decided to start for home In
the Arctic last evening.
one, II is believed, was killed going
over the stillway at the dam. The other
was captured today.
The seals little fellows, months old.
were a centre Of attraction on a pier at
Atlantic City all summer. One was called
Tiny and the other Togo" They
were brought here last Wednesday as
winter boarders.
w. L. Meehan, superintendent OF the
aquarium, visited them last evening at
o'clock. Tiny was in fine humor, and, II
she had been able TO speak, probably
would have told Meehan that she was
going home. Togo was not communicative.
He sank to the bottom OF the pool in n
surly manner at the approach of Meehan.
half hour later 1t was found that
both seals had disappeared through a
hole left by Il stone which was loose at
the end Of the aquarium on the river
side.
Men In boats Immediately searched the
Schuylldll. Tiny, very much frightened,
was found In the lock. Togo cannot be
found. 1t Is believed that he was killed
by being swept over the stillway
Tiny was put back in the pool after
the break had been repaired.
About two years ago five seals escaped
into the river. -Four were recovered but
the fifth started on his way to the Arctic
Seas, and has never been heard from

overzealous young man fired at one with
a shotgun, wounding it in the back.

The Inauguration of the new banking
law marks a complete revolution in the
currency system OF the United states Its
builders assert that 1t will help the coun-
try In more ways than. one. 1t will enable
one part of the country better to aid the
business of another section in times of
need and strengthen credit in times OF
stress, and thus, by keeping the supply
Of money evenly distributed throughout
the United states, stop for all times pam
les, which have recurred about every 20
years In the last century. This law re-
places the system known as the national
banking system. inaugurated toward the
end OF the Civil War.
Every national bank is a member of a
reserve bank, and many State banks took
advantage of the opportunity to become
members. The largest district, Chicago,
has o52 members, and the smallest dis
trict Atlanta, has 372 members. Philadel-
phia has 76S.
One OF the most important functions OF
the now bank Is as a bank of issue and
redemption of currency, for II may secure
from the Treasury Department Govern
ment notes known as Federal Reserve
notes. which II is authorized to Issue
against commercial paper with a mini
mum gold reserve of 40 per cent. Besides
this, Federal Reserve Banks are granted
certain powers in the matter of opera
tions In the open market, such as the
purchase of commercial paper, foreign
exchange and in n general way are eX-
pected to perform important functions as
clearing houses between their member
banks.
GIVES AID WHERE NEEDED.
The way the new law will affect the
average person is something like this:
Suppose a man in Kansas City has a
wheat crop which he wishes to move and
Kansls is short OF money Then the Fed
eral Reserve Board. under whose super
vision the banks operate. will aid the
Kansas City bank in getting money for II
at any or all OF the other II regional
banks. 1t may happen that Atlanta hasn't
the money to spare, or that New York
may be financing foreign shipments, or
that Boston needs her money for the
mills. San Francisco. on tn eother hand,
may have plenty of cash to spare. II such
is the case, then the money In that city
will be used to move the wheat crop I'm
Kansas, the entire system OF credit being
so co-ordinated and linked together as to
have banks act as a unit in helping each
other.
OF the total reserves Of approximately
S5SO.000,0 900 which are now released the
IL different districts contributed the fol-
lowing amounts:
Boston. $4,000. 900; New York, SsS.OOO,-
900; Philadelphia. $4,000. 900; Cleveland,

Minneapolis, $4,000. .OOO Kansas city,
$5700o,o00; Dallas, $24,0OO,OOO, and San
Francisco, $50. 900. 900
Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo has
already announced that he will transfer
TO the Federal reserve banks a large
amount of Government deposits as soon
as they are In operation, so that they
may be able to extend larger credits 10
national banks and State banks which are
members.
