who have weak stomachs need to be
especially careful and should eat
slowly and masticate their food
thoroughly. 1t is also important
that they keep their bowels regular
When they become constipated or

SOUPS THAT NOURISH

Although clear soups, which are
largely water, contain little nourlsh-
ment, some thick soups, broths, and
chowders are literally meal in
themselves, according to the dietary
specialists of the United States De
partment of Agriculture Even a
thin soup, taken at the beginning Of
a meal, by its warmpth and pleas
ant flavor may stimulate digestion,
so that the heavier foods are more
easily digested. The combination
of soup and bread is pleasant and
leads to the eating of more bread
or crackers than would be con-
med ordinarily Appetlzing
soups also may be made often of
materials which otherwise would be
wasted. In this way such materials
are made to contribute whatever
food value they may have for the
cost of the labor and fuel needed to
prepare them.

Parents do wrong in keeping
their children hanging around
home, sheltered and enervated by
parental indulgence. The eagle
does better. 1t stirs up its nest
when the young eagles are able to
fly. They are compelled TO shift
for themselves, for the old eagle
literally turns them out and at the
same time tears all the down and
feathers from the nest. IT'S this
rude and rough experience that
makes the king of birds SO fearless
in his flight and SO expert in the
pursuit of prey. 1t is misfortune
to be born with a silver spoon in
your mouth, for you lave it to
carry and plague you all your days.
Riches often hang like a dead
weight. Yea, like a milestone a.

Beer Causes Crime
Says Noted German
By Gustav Aschaffenburg, Professor
Cologne Academy of Medicine

All the crimes, the chief cause of
which we have found to be alcohol
such as aiding prisoners to escape, re-
sisting an officer, breach of the peace,
simple and aggravated assault and
battery, malicious mischief, grow
more frequent from year to year.
This growth corresponds to the
steady increase in the consumption
of alcohol-not of spirits, which seems
to have reached its maximum, but OF
the chief beverage of the German
people, beer.
The dam formed by the higher cost
of living is not strong enough to stem
the tide of alcohol. The sums spent
for drink do not affect the workman's
expenses so much when wages are
high and the price of food low. But
the figures indicating the consumption
of alcohol teach us that he does not
save in that direction, even when times
are bad, hence the evil consequences
of excessive drinking appear in pros
porous and necessitous times alike.

ain the aldermanic campaign of our

certain principles at stake which must
be championed by the churches and
all other organizations that stand for
municipal advance. These principles
are as follows:
l. In so far as it is possible under
the present election laws, municipal
officers should be elected on nom
partisan basis.
2. The public interest must be
paramount.
8. Each ward should seek to serve
the whole city as we'll as to care for
its own interests.
a. Citizens must so act as that the
light is KEEP. shining in every depart
ment of public service.
5. A universal civil service.
6. A non-political organization on
every hand of the city government.
7. Efficiency and economy in ex-

2. He has trained and skillful

3. He is a courageous, energetic

4. He is the watchfu1 champion OF
