Constant Warfare on Noxlous oroWths
10 One Sacrifice That Must b
Made for Civic Beauty.

Where is our spirit Of civic pridef
One wonders when passing to the END
of any important avenue or street IN
the city. Vacant lots can be found
with q reckless wilderness Of weeds.
For a while there seemed to be .
natural spirit Of pride, beautifully ex-
pressed in certain suburban sections,
where the home owners r sufficiently
well endowed with earthly possessions
to carry into poetic effect the idea
beautiful. When we look over these
self-same garden spots Of early spring
there Is an unconscious feeling of de-
spair creeping into the heart.
Weeds are most unattractive. In
their virgin days, with their appealing
sheen Of green, they offered a seduc-
tive lure to the eye.
The veriest weed, 81 to speak, pos
sesses some claim to natural beauty
In the days Of spring.
But In the autumn Of the year weeds
grow strong, they yield only an atmos-
phere of danger. They r gaunt and
gray and dust-laden. y
There is a more significant feature
to be considered. Uncut weeds breed
disease.
We would venture to say that IL
the cases Of hay fever in the city were
reported, the general public would not
believe it, yet this most uncomforta-
BILE Of autnmnal Affections is due, to
a great extent, to the weeds Of sum-
mel growth.
The great trouble with most Of us Is
that we start In the early days of
spring filed with ambition and with
expectations Of what the garden may
be made to yield in the later days.
After the miniature crop has been gar
nered we become neglectful. We per-
NIT the weed crop to harvest itself.
Vacant lots flaunt their jungle Of
weeds, and unconsciously we suffer in
consequence.
II there Is q law severe enough It
should be applied. If the owner Of a
vacant lot, or the owner of a back
yard has not sufficient civic pride to
cut the weeds, then the powers Of the
department Of police or Of public
health should be invoked and the pur.
pose Of the law be made effective

The COW can do her best only when.
MIXED at equal and regular daily PEI

is not in the udder ready to be drawn
out before milking time comes, but
some Of it is produced by the glands
during the operation Of milking. The,
udder, however, is usually filled and.
the cow becomes accustomed to this.t
but IL the operation Of milking is del

not be stimulated to good activity dur

In search OF the facts concerning
the claim OF the brewers that sbeer u

Of the laboratory OF the Connecticut
board Of health, asking for . scientific
statement The unabbreviated reply

editor the Christian Advocate: IN
reply to your note I will say that Il d
hard to conceive . more misleading
statement than to call beer liquid
bread. The facts are that the grains
out Of which beer Is made do contain
q deal Of nourishment, adapted both
for fuel and tissue building. In the
process Of beer-making the materials
are mostly destroyed and removed BY
the process Of clarifying. As q result
the nnal product has lost practically
all the tissue-building material 1t ever
contained. and most Of Its fuel food
has been converted into alcohol, which
has less fuel value, to say nothing OF
its poisoning effect upon the nervous
system. Before the fermentation the
material might possibly be called
liquid bread but not after the fer
mentation and Qualification; for these
processes have destroyed nearly all
the value it originally possessed. The
fnal product has no tissue-building
value. only q little fuel value, and In
addition has a poisoning action upon
the nervous system. Bread has large
value AZ a tissue builder and also "a
. fuel. and In addition has no bad ef.
feet upon the nervous system. To
call beer liquid bread Is therefore ut.
terly false and badly misleading.
