BOOZER MUST GO.

bOOZeR MUST GO.
Employers liability laws In the DIFF
eferent states have been an important
factor In bringing about the present at
tiude of the business world toward
eating the causes of accidents In mill
and factory, on railroad and waterway,
found large proportion directly due
to the drink habit. Hence the reason
for the famous "rule G." OF the Ameri-
can Railroad association and the total
abstinence requirements of big busl-
ness generally.
In line with this comes the Michigan
Workmen's Compensation Mutual of
Detroit, which, we learn from the West
ern Underwater, an insurance journal,
has sent its members u circular letter
on the booze question. We quote
"The careful consideration Of all
moral hazards involved under the com
pensation law reveals the fac; that
booze Is the biggest.
"Booze is so insidous In It's work
ings that even though an employee may
not be actually under the influence of
liquor at the time of an injury, very
large percentage of all injuries are
either directly or indirectly due to the
drinking of liquor.
Therefore, we are earnestly recom-
mending to all of our members that
the service of the booze fighter,
whether he drink much or little. be
dispensed with as promptly as possible,
providing he cannot be made to see
the error of his ways and become an
0bstainer."

In an article In the September

rules for food economy. They are:
"Ffrst-To save the wheat. II we
eat as usual from our harvest this
enough for own supply, but we
can divide with u allies IL each in-st
dividual makes some sacrifice by
eating at least n wheatless meal
a day.
"second-we want to save tho
meat, for our cattle and hogs are
decreasing, and we must send meat
to our allies.
"Third-We wish to save the fats.
We wish no butter used in cooking.
less served on the table; we want
less lard, bacon and other pork
products used.
Observation-Disclosures in food sup
ply can be amply covered by In
%creasing the use Of fish, potatoes,
tables generally. corn. buckwheat,
ard rice, which we will have
in abundance this harvest.
"I7fth-Ne want to a v trans
portation. To meet the war pres
sure for munitions. men and coal,
everyone should consume products
Of local origin so far as possible.
"SiSth-We want all to preach the
gospel of the clean plate;' to see
that nothing OF value goes into tho
garbage can.

proportion of these commodities in
order to save on the staples, it is
extremely important hat any sur

Gentleness is like the fragrance of flower by
which it reveals it's identity and its character. Gen
tleness is part of the sweetness of Christianity
when it blossoms in a human life under the sunshine
of the Lords presence 1t reveals to others the
sympathy in the heart the tenderness in the minds
thought and even the subservence of the body itself
to the unseshness of the spirit. Gentleness in the
tone of voice indicates kindly affections in form of
speech it reveals consideration of the effect upon the
feeling of others; in the gesture of hand its friend

fellowship Gentleuess is always in keeping with
strength whether in repose in action; and harsh

The following, taken from the Reformatory Pill
lar is worth thinking it over:'
"You canno, expect people to stake very much
faith upon the fellow who is going to do things to-
morrow No doubt the fellow well, but
there's many slip, and so forth.
MAKE good today, for tomorrow you may not
have the chance. The living present is the time
for action. You are judged by the standard of to-
day. No matter what you could have done or what
you can do it is what you do that denotes your abil
ity. If you do not make a success of the Present
it will soon be your Past-when the Future comes
you will not have progressed but will still be look
ing into the Future. Tomorrow will he To-
day and Today will soon be Yesterday.
Leigh Mitchell Hodges, The Optmist has
written some admirable lines about Today and they
are worth studying. We quote below, the second
verse of his poem:
Did it ever occur to you, friend of the road,
That days don't make you-You make the days;
That there's just much time for the waster of
As for him who takes industry's ways
For him who is wise the tense is
In his prayers and his work and his play
He dealt with the hour in his hand, for he knows
\ That the only day is TODAY!
MAKE up your mind to do much possible
in lettering yourself today and you will be making
YOUR Future secure Do not talk about what you
are going to do and put it off, but make of TO-
DAY: let your actions speak and remember, the
Road Of Bye and Bye leads to the Town of NEW
