i If you could have heard the talk | of Dr. Carolvne Geisel on alcohol then you would know why we fight it so hard, and if our own state could have heard that talk and felt the spirit in which it was given we would have no more dis ipated boys and afflicted children. If they could see the effect it has on the brain and how it serves the little soldiers in our bodies, that take up disease germ and wrecks the whole body, soul and mind. 1 don't believe they would ever touch any more.
 Alcohol can kill the brain cells and cause the thinking part of he human body, the most inn oortant part to loose its power
 md w. are absolutely worthless.
 The tobacco habit effects tie j body almost as bad, as 1t breaks l town the nervous system and is
 iIso worthless just for the sake of what we call pleasure. Stop and thinkhow long it takes wo
 man to raise a man. 21yearS then turns him over to another one to finish up. How sad if he turns out bad. Think of working 21 years to raise trash. One adult dies every six minutes from these awful habits. I ,et us have bet
 ter, purer father and mothers and not hand painted poodle dog wo- men. What made somany men die last year out of college just 21 years old, just out of boyhood, is the man worth while The old man has big place in the world, advice needed. We are robbed of so many of our middle age men cd account 5of h e e awful habits. If the " 0 m e II can't vote they can work other ways. They can prepare the right kind of food for the men, leave out such things as pepper, and mustard as they cause an iritated stomach which calls for something else, which is often al- cohol. All of these things cause cancer of the stomach and this has been worse in the last 50 years on account of so much hot stuff being put into the stomach. Give the men and boys the best chance of their lives in the home. 56, 900 people died last year with four diseases, appoplexy. heart trouble and kidney trouble, or brights disease and neither one necessary. The quickest way to get men out of the way is to give them alchol and patten medicine. Eat more fruit and vegetables and not so much meat. A man can raise the blood pressure 20 points i'll 30 minutes with one cigar which will snap the blood | vessel and caused ppoplexy where these hot things are used, We hold the lives of our husbands | and boys in the palm of our hand | and We will never have better babies in America until we have | cleaner parents. Having a riff, | raff child in yoLr home. What | will you have tbem be? With | scientific mothers and pure fathers then We will not have any | more saloons in this fair land of ! ours to ruin the children, cause | them to suffer fer life just ly your indulgence in so called l pleasures. Teach the children before it is too late, there should ! be no sowing of wild oats. That surely they will sooner or late: reap what they have sown. Do what God has called you to do with all your might, as it is so much cheaper to raise pure son 1 than sorry one.
 Miss Petit, on home economics brought out very plainly the need of knowing how to prepare food tnk being able to detect the de- fects in the food as soon as they velop. Plan your meals ahead pf time so you will have time to cook it right. Keep the home sanitary, keep the flies out, do away with their breeding places. Then we will have healthier, hap pier homes. Take the woman out of the field so they will have time to learn these things, learn how to fix up vegetables, fruits and such things for the winter. The women are responsible for the social conditions of their com munity. Make the home more attractive then your children will stay at home and not get into so many places of vice.
