THIS MEDICINE CURES

The hoe handle medicine is the
best blood purifier according to a
statement by the North Carolina board
of health. The remedy applies with
greater force in Wisconsin than in
North Carolina. During the winter
months people live in hot houses, dry
to the utmost by using a furnace or
roaring stoves. People sit about the
fire, live on bread, meat and other
heavy foods, emerging into the spring
time with sluggish systems:
In the days of our. grandparents
there were often stiff joints, govt, no
wind and little endurance. Their
first thought was spring tonic and
those who could found their way to
the woods in the search of bark or
roots to give them new lease of life.
There may not have been much vir-
tue in the bark or roots, but there was
plenty in the sunshine, fresh air and
exercise enjoyed on the excursion.
Following this idea, those who are
troubled with some slight complaint
may try few doses of hoe handle
medicine. Now is the planting time.
dig up the soil, and hoe through the
summer The hoe handle will work
wonders. 1t will bring color to your
cheeks, strength to your wind and
appetite that needs no coaxing.

AMERICAN WAR GIVING

An excellent plan has been put for
ward by the Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America for in
creasing contributions for relief of suf-
fering in the European war region. The
council proposes a special collection
on Memorial Sunday, May %, and has
sent out an appeal to 100000 minis
tiers.
1t is true that giving to war suf-
ferers in America has not been as
great in the aggregate nor as wide in
extent as it should be, considering
our prosperity and its general distri-
button. Giving has been liberal
among a comparati% ely few. Organ
lied effort at inducing contribution
has been carried on in many ways,
especially in the east and in cities,
but this effort has not reached the
great mass of millions of Americans
throughout the country who at this
time can well afford to give something
for their fellow beings in the stricken
lands of Europe.
A general church collection will
give these millions a chance to give
at least something. Undoubtedly
there are many who would be glad to
give what they can afford, but be-
cause the sum is small do not give
at all. There are many others who
simply procrastinate The aggregate
of their gifts would be large.
There is higher consideration
than money, though that money will
buy is sorely needed. A'or the sake
of it's own soul the American nation,
which ought &c give thanks each day
that the bitter cup Europe drains is
not at it's own lips, should give with
uneQualed generosity. We are not
doing so. Other peoples less able than
we have given more per capita; Can
ada, for example, in the midst of her
troubles, AMI Holland.
We cannot permit this to be. Not
because of any gratitude to be ex-
pected, but for our own sake. A ma
ton niggardly at such a time as this :
has something profoundly wrong in |
it's spirit.
The American heart is right. But
it takes much to turn us from our
preoccupations. The j
church councils plan should help to

HOW TO DRAW A CHECK

'The first thing a depositor in
bank should learn is how to draw a
check, for if a check is improperly
drawn, it may lead to confusion and
might bring a loss to the bank and
to the depositor. In the
first place the figures should be
plainly made, SO that no question
can arise as to the amount" says the
Bankers Association. 'lf
a figure is carelessly made, SO that
it confuses those who handle the
check, numberless hours Of work may
follow. For instance, if a bank re-
ceives a check for $1SS with poor
81 and a clerk lists it as $1.0S, it
may take many hours time to find the
difference, and the entire days work
may have to be gone over. The rule
should be: Never make a figure that
may be mistaken and never pass one
that is in doubt--correct il by crossing
out the bad and making a good one
alongside.
1.-THE words and figures should
agree. The law says that if the two
are different, the written words gov
ern, but make both carefully and
get them alike.
Begin the writing we'll to the left
Of the writing space and fill IN the
unused space with a wavy line. Be-
gin the figures well up against the
sign and make the character 00I00
after, but close up against the fig
ures. Use a good black ink and
write firmly, so that plenty Of ink
gets into the fibre Of the paper.
Always write your name exactly az
you wrote it on the banks signature
card. MRS. William Smith may be
the same person as Mary " Smith,
but the bank account doesn't stand
that way.
Adopt one signature and stick to
it. Do not flourish, nor make a fancy
signature. Handwriting experts will
tell you that a plain, distinctive sig
nature, with no furbelows, is the most
difficult to forge.
'The law of forgery is that the bank
is bound to know your signature, and
pays a forged instrument at its peril
The risk is all theirs, but that is not
to say you should not help eliminate
the chance of forgery by taking care
that your checks are properly drawn.
If you are grossly negligent, you
might have to stand the loss yourself.
Better be safe than sorry. There are
numerous protecting devices ON the
market, some better than others,
and these may be used as added
safeguards; but there is no rule of
law that compels you to do so. You
are safe if you follow the above sug-
gestions, but safer if you use pro-
tecting device, for then you cannot
be charged with any negligence, in
making your checks forgery proof
Do not make it easy to work a fraud
through your account. Do not give
checks to- strangers. Do not leave a
signed check where it may be filled
in and used. Your banker will bless
you if you follow the foregoing sug-
gestions."
