DEMAND is FOR SOBER WORKERS

In recent number of the Technical
World is a contributed article entitled,
THE Worker Who Drinks Must Co."
The editor in an Introductory note
thus comments:
"Emperors, business men, social re-
formers are all agreed upon one thing
alcoholic drinks work positive harm.
A single glass of beer lowers a mans
efficiency z per cent. Imagine what
strong vine, gin, or whisky will do.
The up-to-date employer will not keep
men who drink even in moderation;
the secretary of the navy will not al
low them on our warships; every COM
mander in the field today is leading a
sober army. Everywhere the brains
of the world recognize that alcoholic
liquors weaken both muscle and mind
power"

The "farthest north" local Wom-
ans Christian Temperance union is

about one hundred miles from the
Arctic circle. 1t was organized in
1918 by one of the national organizers
of the society and is doing active
work for temperance-"living, work
ing, gaining new members" writes
the president, "and corresponding
with the Ottawa officials in regard to
the observance of Sunday closing OF
saloons" Plucky!

Two Tables.

Marcy put Tabby on the doorstep
to watch while she swept the leaves
of the walk with her little broom.
Marcy did love Tabby so dearly! She
stroked her and warmed her little
toes at the fire, and talked to her as
IL she had been real live pussy, in
stead Of only q printed and stuffed
one.
Somebody besides Tabby was
watching Marcy. II was the old lady
who lived next door and had nobody
but her cats to keep her company;
but she was such q nice old lady and
had such smiling wrinkles all round
her eyes that she reminded Marcy of
the picture Of the funny good fairy In
her Cinderella book.
The leaves fell 80 fast and kept
Marcy SO busy that she did not see
Monk, the big st. Bernard puppy,
come frolicking into the yard. AS soon
as he spied Tabby, he thought she
would be fine plaything; so he snap
ped her up in his big Jaws, and was

Poor Marcy! Could she help cryingi
She dropped her broom, and the tears
made two little streams down her
cheeks, and fell. patter, patter, on the
dry leaves at her feet:
The nice old lady was very sorry.
She put on her bonnet and cloak, and
in her hands she took something that
was soft and warm and furry.
She went into Margy's yard, and
put the soft. warm, furry something on
the step. just where Tabby had sat.
Then she wiped away Msrgy's tears.
SO that she could see what was there.
And what did Marcy sect The very
image Of her lost 'Tabby. only this one

In Phoenix, Ariz., before the Novem-
Der election, all the liquor places put
up a sign to this effect: This build

loon men refused to give up their

restaurants. The law went into effect

baker and grocer in the city for the
first time sold out his stock, of bread,
and the meat markets sold out their
meats. Last year the arrests for
drunkenness in Phoenix averaged IL

closed, for the first time in its his

Valley bank, which suspended early in
November, reorganized and opened up
for business stronger than ever. The
Citizens bank, established by local

FRECKLES
February and March Worst Months for
This TrOuble-HOw to Remove
Easily.

There's a reason why nearly every
body freckles in February and March,
but happily there is also remedy for
these ugly blemishes, and no one need
stay freckled.
Simply get an ounce of othine, double
strength, from your druggist and apply
a little of it night and morning, AMI
in few days you should see that even
the worst freckles have begun to dis
appear, while the light ones have van
ished entirely. Now is the time to rid
yourself of freckles, for if not remov-
ed now they may stay all summer AMI
spoil an otherwise beautiful complex
ion. Your money back if othine fails.

LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES
THEY ARE CLOSELY OBSERVING
PUBLIC HEALTH CONDITIONS.

An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Compa-
MES, in an interview ON the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large major
ity of those whose applications are de-
clined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
According to this it would seem that
a medicine for the kidneys, possessing
real healing and curative properties,
would be blessing to thousands.
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
who prepare DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the well known kidney, liver and blad-
der remedy, claim that judging from
evidence received from druggists ev-
erywhere, who are constantly in touch
with their customers, and also indis>
putable proof in the form of grateful
testimonial letters from thousands of
reliable citizens, this preparation is
remarkably successful in sickness,
caused by kidney and bladder troubles.
Every interesting statement they re-
ceive regarding Swamp-Root is inves-
tigated, and no testimonial is publish
ed unless the party who sends it is re-
ported of good character. They have
on file many sworn statements of re-
coveries in the most distressing cases.
They state that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root is mild aud gentle in it's action
and it's healing influence is soon MOTTO
ed in most cases.
Swamp-Root is purely an herbal COM
pound and Dr. Kilmer & Co. advise all
readers who feel in need of such a rem
edy to give it trial. 1t is on sale al
all drug stores in bottles or two sizes
soc and $1.O0 However, if you wish
to test this great preparation send ten

CIRCULAR LETTER
TO COUNTY TEACHERS.
What the Public Athletic League is
Doing in the Counties.

The following circular letter has been
sent to every school teacher in Anne
Arundel county:
Dear Teacher
THE Public Athletic League OF Bal
timore has been asked by the Legisla-
ture TO conduct athletics in the var
ious counties OF Maryland Evident
ly they felt our experience here in Bal
timore warranted the request that we
help the school people throughout the
State as we have tried to do here in
the city. The superintendents of the
various counties have agreed upon the
program OF events for the ensuing
year. copy OF which | am herewith
enclosing.
"The League desires 10 help every
schoo: in Maryland in the direction OF
the natural play activities of children.
1t wants to be of service in organic
ing the various games that may be
adapted TO the ages of the children,
and hopes to standardize them We
sincerely trust you vii lask US for any
kind OF help that we may be able TO
give along the lines of physical edu-
cation.
"As we see it. play means the aetiv-
titles Of the smaller children; athletics
means the vigorous. social. fighting
plays of the older boys and girls. Our
program for the present year includes
an athletic .met for each county. to
which we hope you VIII send repre-
sentatives for every event. We believe
that the responsibility Of being a rep
resentative Of the school is one of the
most important things we can teach
our older boys.
I'm addition to the athletic meet we
sre also trying to stimulate interest in
individual prowess. by means of a
badge test In this event. every boy
no matter what his age may be. can
compete for a bronze button that may
be worn in the coat The matter OF
age or weight does not make any diff
ference, for the boy is competing
against standards that have so far
seemed TO be correct for the begin
ners in athletics.
Il enclose a copy of the rules for
the events on separate page. We
will send YOU shortly blanks upon
which YOU are requested to state the
number of times the boy has chinned
himself and the distance that he mas
jumped. II you will qualify him (as
we express IT'D we will complete the
test by trying him out in the 60. yards
