AN ORIGINAL SUMMER CAR
 NIVAL.

"A successful carnival for the bene- fit of a church in our city," says a writer in the August Woman's Home Companion, "has recently been held by a group of members and friends who live on one square. The porches and lawns on both sides of the street were gayly decorated with Japanese lanterns and colored lights.
 Each porch or parlor was given up to a different attraction. In one home there was dancing to the music of d photograph at five cents couple for each dance. On another porch you could, for a small charge, indulge your musical taste by listening 10 good records.
 "A sightseeing automobile coined money at five cents ride for a short trip around a few blocks, and was eS- pecially popular with the young peo- pie"

DiSARMlNG THE BODY.

We may point out that alcohol, as far as the digestive organs are con- cerned, not only interferes with their normal digestive functions, but also destroys their natural powers of pro tecting the body from disease A per son who Is suffering from alcoholic dissipation, mild or severe, Is less able to destroy the microbes of disease which may be taken in with the food and is, therefore, far more susceptible to typhoid fever, cholera, and similar diseases. The vital resistance to both heat and cold is also diminished, as well as resistance to infection, and the body is thus disarmed to large ex- tent of its natural resistive and fight ing forces, and thus becomes a more easy prey to sickness, disease and death.-A. B. Olsen, M. D., D. P. H., Cutterham Valley, England.

DIVORCE LABOR FROM LIQUOR.

"The sooner the labor movement and the labor press divorces itself from the liquor business, the quicker real organization will become possi ble," says the Galesburg Ill.) Labor News. Our movement advocates the education, the elevation of our mem bership, the securing of better condi- tions and wages for our membership. We cannot secure them by affiliating with the greatest power against them"
 Another labor paper expresses itself in much the same strain. It says in part:
 Many trade-union journals and dozens of the best-known labor lead. CTS in America have come out openly for prohibition. According to the Plumbers Journal, the liquor interests are finding out that a lot of men who drink whisky won't vote for it. The locomotive engineers, 10000 strong, have gone on record for the abolition of the liquor traffic"
 MT. E. J. Keenan, president of an or. ganization of dry labor union men in Ohio, says that with the exception of the brewery workers and bartenders every labor union in Cincinnati is lined up for prohibition. The follow ing pledge is used by MT. Keenan:
 "We believe the labor movement will not develop and grow as it should until the influence of the liquor traffic Is removed"

THE RURAL-SCHOOL TERM.
By J. L. MeBrien, School Extension Agent, t. S. Bureau Education.
 Talk No


 Agent, t. S. Bureau Education.
 Talk No. l.
 The first problem in the program of the Federal Bureau of Education in its nationwide campaign for better rural schools is that of longer school term, "A school term of not less than 160 days for each child" is the minimum term, according to Commits sioner ClaXton, which all States with shorter term should strive to reach.
 The latest data Q910) available concerning the length of term for urban schools and for rural schools separately give the average number of days school was in session during the year for urban schools, 1S4.3, and for rural schools, 1877. For the United States as a whole the urban schools are in session 46.6 days longer each year than the rural schools" says A. C. Monahan, the Bureaus specialist in rural school administra- tion.
 In Rhode Island and Connecticut, the difference between the urban and rural school term is 3.S days, while in South Carolina it is SS.5 days. The average number of days in the rural school term in the several States ranges from 90 in New Mexico to 1G0 In Rhode Island. Four States-New MeAlco, North and South Carolina and Arkansas-each had in 1910 a rural SchooI term of less than 100 days. While Florida had rural term of ex- "cVIy Iool days. But" declares Mr. monahan, these averages do not tell !he whole story. There is much var iauon above and below the average. 'nere are many school districts. and even many counties, where the term lo' Vne past year was not over 60 days"
 from the reports for the school year ending June 30, 1915, there were 10 rural school districts in Arkansas sn"' held no school that year; 8 school ~iS'IIctS Tn that State with only one "'Vi''n of school; 60 districts with On'y two months of school. and 5I7 o'"ooI districts with only three months of school. And yet great "Jori'y ;n Of the town and city schools III Arkansas have a school term of 's"C or nine months. That there are squaiiy deplorable conditions in the .S l"' schools of other States will be ;n." ,o"" m the next talk. This discrim- fa n"1on against the farm boy and the ro.n no. girl in free school privileges is not just or wise.

YOU CAN'T SPOIL
 PENNSYLVANIA SCENERY

In the August issue of the Amer: c&n Magazine, Agnes Repplier says:
 Tn one respect only, Pennsylvania IS unchanged and unchangeable Men have dealt harshly and shamefulv bv her, but nature has crowned her with beauty. Her founder, knowing netb- Ing of his broad tracts save that thov were forest lands, gave to the new province the pretty name of Svlvania and Charles the Second, always past master of words, prefixed the Penn for which pleasant conceit every son and daughter of the state owes him 2 grateful thought. Thus the word Pennsylvania perpetuates history. honors a noble name, and svmbolizes the loVelness of the land; land of woods and waters, hills and valleys. tat farms and rocky solitudes. The shrleking engine that drags it's train load of passengers through the valley ot the Juniata, across ridge after ridge of the Alleghenies, past the Iuscarora Gap, and the succession of 'Narrows, Long Narrows, Jack s Narrows,' 'Packsaddle Narrows.' has traversed a country So widely and nobly beautiful that, in Europe, it would attract the tourists of the world"

DOWN GLASSES!

The London Spectator says: We must fight the Germans with both hands and not with one hand grasp ing glass of beer or spirits" And the New York Independent properly asks: "If a man needs two hands to fight with successfully, how can he get along effectively with fewer to work with? If a nation at war cannot spare a hand to hold the liquor glass, how can a people at peace?' And then 1t sensibly says: Someone should move to amend the Down Glasses program by striking out the word temporary
