DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD
MISREPRESENTATION.

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. It is the most
effective way to break a cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving a cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

Our laws and public sentiment per-
nit falling a poor chap who is dead
sick of living" and isn't successful
in his attempts to quit by the as
sistance of poison or personal VIC
lence against himself. We don't
mind if the prison confinement
makes him even more miserable
than he was before.
A police officer is justified in COM
pclling a person, at the point of a
pistol if necessary, to desist in eff
forts at self-destructiOn. While I've
never heard of an officers actually
killing a man for thus resisting the
law. | do recall an instance in which
a Milwaukee police officer, by threats
of shooting, stopped an intended sui
eide by drowning.
These regulations against suicide
are not based, it would seem, upon
any fear of firearms on the part of
the general public, for we permit
their unregulated sale. Again, we
are not afraid of poison, for we per-
nit the sale of most undesirable sui
eide potions without more than a
bluff at statutory and administrd-
tive prohibition.
Apparently, the sentiment against
suicide is based upon one Of the
most lovabel traits Of human nature.
An individual who desires to commit
suicide is generally looked upon as
self-confessed failure, as one I'M
able to take care even Of himself.
However far short, as q people, we
may fall in approaching and truly
eValuating other evidences Of self-con-
fessed failure and want, we can't
mistake the genuineness Of the mis-
cry which cOmpels a bona fide at
tempt upon ones own life.
According to the United States
figures, the number Of suicides re-
mains fairly constant, although hard
times" can easily be identified by
an increased number. There are,
in normal years, nearly four times
as many suicides among men as
among women.
Without studying infinitely or
even in detail the causes of suicide,
the reason in each case is, of course,
the arrival at the conclusion that
life is a failure. For men, judging
by the age classification of the U.
S. Registration bureau, from As to
so years is the period when hope Of
success and position is most likely
to snuff out They may have failed
repeatedly before this, in their bus
mess, in control of drinking or Of
drug habit, without completely los
ing the hope Of coming back"
For women, failure is much more
tragic, as is generally recognized
For them a single, we'll advertised
blunder in their most important bus
mess and interest in life makes frl-
ture success almost impossible 1t
does not come as a surprise, then,
to find that the greatest number OF
suicides among women occur between
the ages of 20 and %.
A large percentage Of suicides
could be prevented by making it
more difficult for momentarily ire
sponsibla and depressed individuals
to obtain the means. Better health
conditions will help a great deal. A
large percentage, however, will be
prevented only by vast gains in ed
ucatiOn, morals and general welfare.

THE NEW BOOKS
The Red Geranium.

The story of Kitty Dunster begini
when her husband blew a hole
through the place where his brains
were supposed to be-" Discouraged
by financial failure, he gave up the
fight and left his widow and three
children to face the unfair struggle
In "The Red Geranium." the autho'
of "One Way Out" and New Lives for
Old" under the pseudOnym of "Wii-
liam Carleton" tells the dramatic
story of the little woman's struggle.
Driven by poverty to Little Italy, she
finally breaks away by means Of a
windfall of $4,000 and starts success
full flower farm "At the Sign of the
Red Geranium."
The narrator goes into the details
of how she succeeded. The story is
full of interest for those who are fol-
lowing the back to the land" move
ment.
The other two stories in the vol
ume deal with other phases of farm
ing, sometimes rather didactically.
"The Case of Mathews" emphasizes
the fact that farming is a business
and should be treated as such. Math-
ews does not succeed until he ap-
plies business methods to his farm
work. In MY Son" the author show:
how a young married couple make
the production of pure milk pay. In
cidentally, the modern methods of the
young couple had a great influence
on the community.
All three of the stories are told in
an intimate, non-technical way which
makes interesting reading for city
folks who do not yet know the pleas
ures and profits of rural living.

COLUMBIA'S CIVIC LEAGUE.

Truly the Women's Civic League OF
Columbia extends its fame by its
deeds. To this league the city owes
in large measure its present clean
dress and its excellent health. To be
sure Columbia people have cooperat-
ed with the members to obtain these
advantages, but the movements were
started by the Civic League.
Under the auspices of this organ;-
zation more than one hundred loads
of trash were hauled from the city
this spring. Old trees were doc
tored. Vacant lots were turned into
flower gardens. Children were giver
seeds and shown how TO plant and
care for them. Nearly a thousand fly
swatters were given away. The gar
bage problem of Columbia is about
to be solved through the efforts OF
the Civic League.
The members of this league are de-
ing their full share to make Colum-
bia healthful and beautiful.

BAD ROADS A YEARLY LOSS.

Heavy rains this spring have made
the dirt roads of Missouri almost i'm
passable. Wagons and farm vehi-
cles have been mired or wracked TO
pieces. Thousands of farmers havl
been practically maroOned because OF
the impossibility of getting through
the deep mud.
The loss through negligence in
road building has been enormous. y
good farm and good crops are of lit
tie use with poor transportation IA
cilities: for crops have to be taken to
the markets.
A motorist has little use for mo-
tor car if he has no roads to run II
on; and a farmer has equally litti7
use for a farm marooned by impassa-
BILE roads,
The waste is great every year. No
state or country is wealthy enough
to withstand the drain on its pocket
book caused by the loss from poor
roads.

the great gray fort that the early set

ready arms. Such things still stood!

The old caretaker let them in, and
they went up the stone steps to stand
at last on the parapet looking down
on the shimmering sea. To Minot,
fresh from Broadway, it all seemed
like a colorful dream. They climbed
to the highest point and sat, swing
