scented the topic, "The Dring Habit
among Women-How Drunkards are
Made in the Home" She read what
Lenora M. Lake said about whiskey
teas, punch-bowl receptions, gin fixes
and cocktail refreshments. One spe-
cialist said eff you would stop drunk
enness, begin at the cradle, in your
nurseries" She spoke Of the after
theater suppers, with champagne as
beverage. and said all these tended
to form the drink habit among wom-
en-. In states where apples are abun-
dant, cider is one of the greatest
curses, and cider drinkers are the
most difficult to reform. "Cider Is
the devils kindling wood" Home
made wine and root beer are snare
and a delusion. Gall root beer and
drinks where sugar 10 used contain
alcohol, when fermented. Root beer
is a dangerous deceiver." Near-beer,
dandelion wine, and Coca-Cola are
snares that tempt temperance peo-
pie today. The use of brandy in cook
ing, alcohol as medicine and eggnogs
are harmful and dangerous. This
topic brought forth general discus
sion. Mrs E. G. Fish Of Whitewater,
who was a delegate to the national
convention In Indianapolis, was pres
ent and was asked to give an i'm
promptu report. This she did in a
most interesting manner which was
greatly appreciated by the white rib
bon ladies. The penny collection
amounted to nine cents. The meet
ing then adjourned to meet January
23. with Mrs. c.. /. Coleman.

WE PRODUCE SIX TIMES AS
MUCH AS OUR GRANDPA
THEIRS DID

In the December Farm and Fireside
was an editorial in which the writer
of it says:
Some figures recently worked out
dealing with the economics of crop
production show that our GRANDPA
theirs had to work full nine-hour day
to produce two bushels Of corn. In
many cases it required another full
day to carry two-bushel bag of that
corn on horseback to a distant mill to
be ground into meal from which were
made corn meal, 1ohnny-cake, hoecake
or corn pone, according to the locality.
To-day the grandson by the aid of
improved horsepower or motor-driven
machinery can produce two bushels Of
corn in an hour and half in so far as
the labor element is concerned. Put
in another way, the grandson, by
means Of mechanical and cultural
helps, can accomplish six times as
much in a given period as did his
grandfather sixty years ago in the
work of feeding the world.
Calculating the results of in
creased efficiency on this basis, should
the corn-growing grandson receive six
times as much for years planting
management, and labor as did his
grandsire? If so, does he get it? Is
his land investment, farm equipment,
and labor bill six times greater, and
do his living expenses, taxes, insur-
ance, and upkeep of his farm plant
call for CORRESPONDENCE greater out
lay? Unless the grandson's receipts
have kept pace with the increase of
farm efficiency of his generation, thus
enabling him to secure and equip a
farm for himself, pay expenses and
have reasonable rplus Of profit,
something is still out of joint in the
farming business. Furthermore, even
though the grandson may have become
six times more efficient than his grand
father in the production of food sup
plies; unless he has advanced to where
he can take his rightful place in the
worlds civic and social duties and en-.
Joy an equitable share of its recrea-
tions, the grandson has still the most
important of his accomplishments be

HOW'S YOUR RHEUMATICS?

Rheumatism has been explained by
dRmpness and fog, as in England; by
rice and tea diet, as in Japan; by
eating too much meat, as in the Unit
ed State At last we have an inter
national explanation of this univer-
sal discomfort 1t is a pus sack some
where in the body which constantly
leaks minute portions of poison into
the system.
Infected teeth and tonsils cause
about rs per cent of all cases of rheu-
matism, if the new theory is correct
A tiny pus pocket may form in the
canal of the dead" nerve of tooth
without the individuals knowledge
Then the blood will carry certain
chemical products of the germs, and
pile them up at some convenient
dumping spot, preferably the heart or
the joints. Sometimes these accumu.
lations show as the engagements, de
formities or stiffness of rheumatism
This explanation of the disease also
explains why rheumatism medicines
of which mankind has absorbed
oceans, so seldom cure. It evidently
transfers the treatment Of rheuma
tism from the physician to the den

AMBITION AND ABILITY

"God never planted grain Of am

possibility beside it," said big in
Surance man from st. Louis, who came
TO talk to the Columbus association,
says the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch.
"But you can't place an acorn on a
marble topped table and hope to look
into the outstretched branches Of q
sturdy oak the next morning"

the land and property. We New
Workers are daily throwing away as
sets amounting to s15O,OOO,O00 a year.
Men talk about the trouble with the
soil. The trouble with the soil is that
something passes into the sewer called
nitrate. Whenever you waste nitrate
you cannot save crops. Chicago spent
100000, 900 to build a drainage canal
and is throwing away her sewerage,
while Berlin has studied science and
saves all sewerage and turns it back
into the land"
DIR. Hills said that we were not
alone wasting our natural gas, but
also our coal and iron. Last week a
black walnut tree of four lengths was
sold at public auction in New York
for $1,5O0. The speaker said that he
remembered burning up a similar
black walnut tree to heat school
house during a blizzard.
1--WE are less efficient than the folks
Of Germany, England or France con-
tinued DR.. Hills. Contrast the way
Germany has tried to make the human
body efficient and the way we have
wasted the body. In Germany they
have a health exhibit which the gov
eminent moves from one city to an
other, showing the health conditions
among the people in all industries.
Americans are not scientific; we do
not know the facts. We must learn
how to keep our body In condition.
The human body should not be made
to work more than twelve hours, and
then there should be eight hours of
sleep.
1.-THE government has a department
that looks after pigs. The other day
farmer in Indiana wired Washing
ton that two of his pigs had hog
cholera. We are sending two men by
fast train with serum was the answer
he received Uncle Sam looks out
after his pigs, but there is no depart
ment to look after his men. Moral
Be a hog and the United States Gov
eminent will do something for you"
In closing DR.. Hills gave the 300
men present a motto for the New
Year. "Hope much" he said, "fear
!! not at all, and love just as widely az
you can"

Note From Xman

We take exceptions to the recent
statement in The News that a full.
bearded man occasionally tells q
barefaced lie. This sounds rather
personal to about the only man in
town who doesn't shave. AS to the
word ollapodrida, we are inclined to
like it, for, like the dog, it is SO
homely that it is handsome, and we
have not thought Of better to take
its place. 1t is as graceful as camel,
and it almost gives one the lockjaw
and writer's cramp to think of it.
