THE NEW TEMPERANCE BOOSTER.


GLOW TO GET into action the brewer has finally become
~ immensely active in preaching temperance. The brew
ers are using lot Of space In New York newspapers TO
urge temperance-by using beer that contains only three
percent OF alcohol
The brewers arrived the temperance stage trifle
late TO keep their sales up profitable point II they had
possessed the same viewpoint few years ago, dry terri
tory would not embrace such extensive Probably
the brewers intend to center their efforts in the small
wet territory remaining, in the hope that their industry
may be kept on a dividend paying basis
The law prohibiting the manufacture of distilled liquor
Is bright ray Of sunshine the manufacturers Of malt
beverages These simply delighted to have whisky,
brandy and gin sent to the discard
Possibly the brewers Of New York may be able to
vince the voters that beer is nearly harmless but their
task is a difficult one that women vote in New, York
Yet brewers have mighty following OF people who believe
In temperance and who do not favor prohibition. The
advertising that the brewers doing the OF
temperance Is quite the most interesting phase Of the yexa
tious liquor question which has developed

THROWING AWAY THE CRUTCHES.

TT REQUIRED war to bring us to our senses and cause
us to realize the value of physical training The human
body has been permitted to struggle along without much
care In colleges and elementary schools have heard
little about the good work carried by the athletic
instructors But we merely made guess that it was a
pastime and let it go at that.
Just how many thousand young have been rejected
by army surgeons is known TO the public But do
know that army is represented by the young
who couldn't pass the physical test
We're beginning to that the physical trainer
knew his business He had asked for the support of the
public he had pleaded with school patrons for aid in his
work But he didn't get much attention in the past He
does now He will get more in the future.
Whether half or Of the bodily ailments could
he prevented by the right kind of physical training is in
dispute Probably the number is far above fifty percent.
If we are as wise as we claim be- we're going give
the physical trainer help from this time II we
do cooperate there will be less sickness in the world

A lot Of men wait so long to make
sure they are right that they never get

Scientists claim that a man has a
largo vocabulary than woman. But
a woman uses hers twice as much TO
make up for it.

ANOTHER WORD ABOUT SHOPPING.

TO-DAY is a holiday aud shopping will, OF course, be
limited But tomorrow will find the big retail stores
open to serve customers Every patron is sure OF being
waited on But il customers delay holiday shopping until
the middle Of December there is right fine chance OF
buyers being forced to stand line in the big stores for
couple of hours No one wishes 10 lose all that valuable
time but during the two weeks preceding Christmas the
outlook is for congestion OF business which merchants
will be unable to handle
There is shortage Of clerks No knows where
to get supply So the only open is to start the
shopping early and have Of the buying disposed OF
before the annual rush prevails Every buyer who will
purchase portion Of the Christmas merchandise within
the next week aids in the movement to give tired clerks
half chance TO save their nerves.
And customers who delay Christmas shopping for an
other ten days or two weeks may find that they will get
left The situation is certain to be acute.
