Soap as an Antlseptlc,

Some medical authorities, explaining
the abatement CO epldern.c diseases in
modern years, are sufficiently free
from professional ties to attribute this
betterment of conditions, not to medi-
cal science but TO increased use of
soap and water. The Homeopathic
Envoy is of the opinion that with a
clean house and clean person no one
need have much fear of infection. A
writer in the New York Medical Rec
ord says: "Soap is now recognized to
be antiseptic anG to be efiicacious must
produce lather. Bacteria rubbed
into soap or dropped on Its surface are
incapable of multiplication. The ty-
phoid bacillus Is very sensitive to soap.

The thorough use Of pure potash
soap is not only a mechanical method
of cleansing, but is an active factor in
cutting down germ llfe."

SALOON AND woRkINeMAN.

Saloon politicians are the worst enc
mics Of the laboring mans rights.
They get plenty of money to buy free
rate. They raise the cry Of personal
liberty" and with solid saloon support,
the honest workingman has no show
against them.
The saloon fills warehouses; and PEN
itentiaries with it's victims, and their
labor is brought into competition with
free labor, to the injury thereof.
The saloon is labor's worst enemy.
The sooner working men realize the
fact, the better 1t will be for them.
The corrupt politician thrives through
the saloon and corrupt politicians are
bleeding this country to death, bring
Ing 1t down to conditions of older and
less resourceful countries. The abol-
ishment of the saloons will not bring
labor Immediately all that labor ought
to have, but 1t will be the removing
Of the greatest obstacle to labor's
success.
The working people of the United
States earned more money each year
for the distillery and brewery kings
of America than was paid to all the
kings and emperors of Europe.
Working people are now asserting
their rights and are freeing themselves
from slavery to the inhuman liquor
traffic and the dominance of an aris-
tocracy of beer.-John II. Cunneen, La

to take mental inventory, and every
one of us should do so. We should
forget the past entirely. All the re-

other direction, we will resume the
journey on our river boat.
We return down the Amazon as far
as Itacoatiara, entering the Madeira
river, the principal tributary of the
Amazon. Only three towns on the en-
tire trip of 700 miles, consuming a
week, are countered-Manicore
Calama and Huimaita. Numerous
stops are made at rubber estates, there
being several hundred along both
banks of the Madeira, to deliver the
mail.
The steamer trip ends at San Anto-
MO. but as Portovelho Is the starting
point of the Madeira Mamore railway,
the voyage practically terminates at
the latter place.
Arriving at Portovelho one finds q
mushroom town, such places as are To-
Gated the world over where sudden
undertaking such as the building of a
canal or railroad or the development
of mine on large scale, calls for
the installation Of headquarters. Be-
fore the railroad was contemplated,
Portovelho was little known, even to
the people Of the Amazon regions. To-
day, besides the large and modern
railroad shops, there is found tele-
phone system, wireless station, cleo
trio lighting Of the streets, residences,
offices and other buildings of the road
running water, and an Ice plant that
furnishes the ice for all the points
along the line and even for some of
the towns across the border in Bolivia.
One mile distant, at Candelaria, there
is fine hospital with first-class equip
ment in every respect. Practically
every train that leaves Portovelho car
ries a hospital car, and serious cases
are rapidly conducted to the hospital.

The following Is from an article In
Association Men, contributed by l.. G.
Reimann, left tackle In the University
Of Michigan:
The day of the "bottle-scarred" hero
is gone, and the new type of athlete Is
taking his place. The first question
the student body asks OF a football
hero Is: "Do you drink?" His pop

manner of living. All the best coaches
and trainers In the country absolute
ly forbid drinking of intoxlcants dur
Ing the training season and keep a
watchful eye on their men the year
round. The first infraction of the rule
against drinking is dealt with harsh
ly by the coach and athletic directors.
The second means unqualified dis
missal from the squad. This has been
found the only way to deal with such
cases, for Coach "Hurry-Up" Yost says
he has no time to waste trying to
train n drinker, and nothing tries n
mans staying powers like football.
While the old type of athlete is pass

pion strong man of the East and all
round athlete; Hobson of Yale, Brick
ley of Harvard, and hundreds of the
foremost athletes of the United States.
Such men are forming line of offense
against booze and all forms of disslpa-
tion, because they know that no man
can combine drink and good playing.
Eddie Collins, the White Sox star,
says: "You can't bat 300 II you bat
around all night" and one of his ten

NEW YEAR MEMORIES
BY Fred Boqardus.

oh! for an old-fashioned New Year day
With enJoyments keen and pure
When fun and frolic reigned supreme,
Good fellowship the lure.
AS we Journeyed TO the parties
Afoot. perchance by sleigh,
The atmosphere seemed laden with
Best wishes OF the day.
With good old hearty handshakes
We knew were welcome grips,
Instead OF the present method of
Just touching tho fingertips.
How we merrily danced the laneers.
Danced II with a zeal.
Also the polka and minuet.
And jolly Virginia reel
How the young and old enjoyed Il
Each in his separate way.

Ago of the bygone day.
While times and vogues may change, alas
And natures will obeys.
I'll still retain sweet memories OF
The good old-fashioned ways.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS
Than to Have Made None
at All.

It's very much the fashion TO Joke
about making New Years resolutions /;
but as matter of fact there is ad-
vantage In making resolutions, II they
are good ones, and there is no other
date except ones birthday anniversary
SO appropriate for the practice.
That individual must be totally de-
void OF sentiment who has no senti-
ment on the subject of New Year.
Jokers whose topic Is New Years res
olutions lay stress on the fact that
many of them are broken. A fact 1t
is-there is no denying II. But not all
of them are broken. A man who makes
ten New Years resolutions, every one
of them good, and breaks nine, is
better OFF to the extent of the virtue
involved In keeping the one to which
he adheres than II he made none at
all.
For the sake of argument, however,
perhaps 1t may be conceded that max
ing numerous good resolutions mt once
is open TO criticism on the ground that
1t Is harder to attain perfection In
many things than in a few things, and
that failures cause encouragement,
and that concentration is helpful to
success. From this point of view the
wise thing for New Years resolution
makers TO do Is TO survey their fall
ings and frame few resolutions hit
ting the high spots.
