would get 1t. I suppose there was a

taking Cardui, my husband said I had

Temperance
lssNdesa
Conducted by the National Woman's
Christian Tarnnarapau TIpiopA
BEAT BARON MuNcHAusEN.

A liquor paper recently commented
on the decreased death rate during the
past five years and claimed that dur
ing the same period the sale of liquor
greatly increased. 1t made this state
ment among others:
"Sane people who are honest with
themselves will draw the conclusion
that the nation is going along under
constantly improving conditions Of
sanitation and sobriety, and while using
liquors more freely, it is using but not
abusing"
Then the liquor editor made mis-
take. He sent copy of the paper to
the Journal Of the American Medical
association. Now the Journal had
among its reference books a copy Of
the Statistical Abstract of the United
States, which gives the official figures
of liquor consumption, and after con-
sulting that authority the great medi-
cal Journal also makes statement. II
is this:
statistics or the figures themselves
never lie, but compared with some of
the interpretations which are made
from them by the advocates of per-
sonal liberty In drinking, Baron Nun
chausen was second George Wash
ington.

LIQUOR ADVERTISEMENTS.

Speaking for the newspapers which
refuse to carry liquor advertisements
some $50 dailies in the United States
Mr.. Schermerhorn, editor of the De-
troit Times, says:
1--WE believe that if newspaper car
ries on its first page the story Of a
tragedy caused by liquor and on an
other page a guaranteed cure for
drink, and on still another page asks
everybody to have a drlnk-that the
whole process is as inconsistent as
when the nurse marries the under
taker to catch the patient coming and
going. We believe that for news
paper to take liquor advertising is to
do behind the bar what the bartender
is doing In front of the bar"

FRUIT LAXATIVE
FOR SICK CHILD
"California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,
liver and bowels.

Every mother realizes, after giving
her children California Syrup Of
Figs" that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love its pleasant taste
and 1t thoroughly cleanses the ter der
little stomach, liver and bowels with
out gripping.
When cross, irritable, feverish. or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated. give
teaspoonful of this harmless fruit
laxative" and in few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow
els, and you have well, playful child
again. When its little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic-remem-
Der, good inside cleaning" should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep California
Syrup Of Figs" handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 90
cent bottle of California Syrup Of
Figs" which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottle. Adv.

LIFT YOUR cORNS
OFF WITH FINGERS
How to loosen a tender corn
or caIlus so IL lifts out
without pain,

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;
wear shoes size smaller If you like,
for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you. according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops OF drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
tender, aching corn. instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle Of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
II your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle Of freezone for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

BOOZE HABIT DECLINING.

A New York advertising journal
gives some interesting testimony anent
the decreasing popularity of drinking
among business men. The entire al
cohol bill of all the lunchers and din
ers at the Advertising club of New
York for recent month was $50.
There were something like 1000 reg
ular meals served In the club rooms
during those 20 working days, not
reckoning dinner parties. This makes
the average bill for booze not over
eight-tenths Of cent per person per
meal. In other words not over one
diner in forty took drink with his
meal.

In later statement Mr.. Willis said
"This condition was brought about
not only by the enormous demand for
Tanlac but by the congested condition
of the railroads.
"When 1t seemed almost certain
that the threatened nationwide rail-
road strike would go into effect we
made arrangements to keep our prin-
cipal distributors supplied by express.
Over one thousand ($1,00000) dollars
was spent for express charges in a
single day on Texas and Oklahoma
orders alone.
Working at Top Speed.
Although the big Tanlac laborato-
ries at Dayton, Ohio, have been rum
ming at top speed turning out their
full capacity Of approximately twenty
five thousand bottles per day, we have
been wholly unable to meet the de-
mand for Tanlac which has been Gre
ated during the past two years.
"In addition to the Dayton laborato-
ries with their enormous output the
Cooper Medicine Company is now plan
ming to establish branch plants In the
Central West, on the West coast and
In the Dominion of Canada, and unless
international complications make it
impossible for us to secure the numer-
Gus ingredients in the way of roots,
herbs, banks, etc., many of which come
from remote parts Of the globe, we
will be able to take care of any future
demand"
The wonderful growth and develop
ment Of Tanlac has been the marvel of
the commercial world and the amaz-
ing success achieved by the prepara-
lions seems almost incredible.
What Dealers Say.
In only two years time over seven
and one-half million bottles have been
sold and the demand Is constantly in
creasing. Although placed on the mar
ket In Texas and Oklahoma but few
months ago practically third of q
million bottles have already been sold
and thousands have been unable to OBJ
tain 1t on account of the inability of
the laboratory to supply 1t.
Dealers and jobbers have been al
most frantic because of their inabil-
ity to fill the thousands Of orders they
have been receiving and the following
letters and kilograms from well known
firms gave ample evidence of the Won
derful growth and popularity Of Tan
lac:

Died Of Premature Old AGE +!

How many times we hear of COM
paratively young persons passing away
when they should have lived to be 20
or so years of age. This fatal work is
usually attributed to the kidneys, as,
when the kidneys degenerate, 1t causes
administration. The more injuri-
GUS the poisons passing thru the kid
neys the quicker will those noble or
gans be degenerated, and the sooner
they decay.
1t is thus the wisest policy, to pre-
vent premature old age and promote
long life, to tighten the work of the
kidneys. This can be done by drink
Ing plenty Of pure water all day long,
and occasionally taking Anuric, double
strength, before meals. This can be
obtained at almost any drug store. You
will find Anuric more potent than lithia
for it dissolves uric acid as water does
sugar.

POOR MANS CLUB.

The United States Cast Iron Pipe
and Foundry company of New Jersey
as the result of careful observations
finds that the drinkers among its en-
pfoyees lose on an average Of $3.50
year In wages. The company arrived
at its conclusion by keeping close tab
on 100 employees secretly selected,
half of whom were drinkers and half
abstainers. 1t is shown that the fifty
employees who were average drinkers
lost a total of Also days during the
first eleven months Of the year, an
average of nearly eight days month.
