the leader, who was the high school
principal. What were they discuss
ing? High school problems. Clean
sport, questions of ethics. Of honor
and right conduct. Religious problems
are not discussed as the class is de-,
cidedly cosmopolitan in it's makeup.
but i understood that the discussions
were decidedly helpful in creating the
lrieht type of manly principles in
school life. believe a number of cities
i'm North Dakota are forming similar
discussion groups based on the Fargo

| The bows division seemed to me to
be something in the nature of Y.
M. G.. A. in miniature. They have
their own separate Office and II club
rooms, and separate dressing rooms,
but use the same baths and swimming
as the men, They have what 10
called o boys cabinet. a group OF
leaders among the older high school
and employed boys. Carefully picked
boys from the cabinet. and they are
the masters of the situation. 1T is
like this" said the boys secretary,
when it comes to discipline the boy
is the real dfsciplinarian. He knows
when boy is on the square. and a
boy knows just what 1t requires to
make boys be on the square"
1t seemed to me. as / analysed 1t
all, that this Y. M. G. A. work points
to one supreme aim, making.
Young men and boys, and elders as
well, are drilled to make their bodies
sound, their minds strong and their
hearts warm. Their capacity to work
is conserved, and enlarged. They are
taught the lessons, and put through
the exercises and recreative games
that will make them vigorous and
healthy. Their brain as well as muscle
is given chance for development.
Their vision of life is broadened. A
glow of life that is the real life is the
result and If a man possesses these,
he will, to my way of thinking, be
surely religious in his deepest nature.
He finds the joy of living depends
upon aiding others to live right.

about it was that the preachers re-
ligion and mine are identical in the
final analysis. ] believe that the type
of religious life the Y. M. C. A. stands
for is the same kind of religion that
the average thinking man feels is the
real think, whether he is a churchman
or not. The man who thinks the re-

About the last thing I did last week

promise a bunch Of youngsters out my
way that would make a trip of
investigation over to the Fargo Y. NJ.

tell them what I thought of the
institution. The youngsters out my
way have been trying to form some
sort of social athletic organization,
and they had read so much in the
papers about what was going on here
that they thought l could get few
pointers for them. So l am going to

Bodily Housekeeping
(RY v. NJ. PIERcE. NJ. d.

The subject of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood for q
hundred years.
In recent years investigation by means
of Xrrays. the observations of scientists
such as Cannon, Grutzners Pavlov, Row
Ter, Hawk. prove that an abundance of
water taken during digestion is neces-
Isary in good bodily housekeeping. Drink
plenty of water with each meal. Do not
drink ice-water at any time.
If your kidneys are sick, or you
suffer with lumbago or rheumatism at
times, pain in the back or back of
the neck, take little Anufic before
meals. This can be found at any good
drug store. Therefore my advice to
young or old is. always drink plenty of
pure water. And for long life occa-
sionally take tablets of Anuric three or
four times day.
