She has had her fingers in all the

he knew that she would make minor

Influenza and Alcohol.

No more harmful rumor has been
circulated in connection with the In
.fluenza endemic than the one to the
effect that whisky is preventive or
cure for the disease. The truth is the
worst thing one can do is to take
alcohol when he is suffering from IN:
ifluenza, and those who drink intpH
cants are much more liable to contract
the disease than those who abstain
from it.
Out here at the Government depot
there were 400 ,casea of Influenza,
Three deaths resulted. But none Of the
deaths was caused by the Influenza;
all three Of them were caused by alco-
holic pneumonia-7brought about be-
cause the patients heard that whisky
was a good thing to take when one
had the disease. It Is stated that one
of the unfortunate victims stated upon
his death bed that he had read an ad-
vertisement saying liquor was being
used in the treatment of the disease,
and that he had taken whisky on that
account. The person or persons print
ing such advertisements are therefore
little better than murderers.
Whatever you think of prohibition
or whether you think anything Of II
let alcohol alone for the present at
least. Do not weaken the system by
using excessive stimulants when there
is such great danger. And If you
should be so unfortunate as to con
tract the disease, let the physician
prescribe for you; do not get it into
your mind that you,xcan cure your
self: by drinking alcoho lfc beverages

Red Gross Xmas Cards.

Every American soldier in France
is to have the opportunity of sending
Christmas greetings to relatives and
friends in this country through the
means of Christmas cards to be pro-
vided by the. American Red Cross.
More than 2,0O0, 900 of these cards,
which are original IN design and ;typi:
cally American in spirit, have been
forwarded to France and will be dis
tributed by Red Cross workers to our
fighting men in time to permit their
return to5this country for the Christ.
mas celebration.
The distribution Of these cards will
solve the problem of how the soldiers
overseas are going to remember the
folks back home at Christmas time.
Many letters received by the Red
Cross from men in France show that
the soldiers have been giving much
thought to this question. AS military
and postal regulation will make it diff.
cult for them to send gifts of any kind
from the other side, the Christmas
cards will be doubly welcome. Some
Of the best known artists in the coun'
try contributed the card designs to
the Red Cross.

THE OPEN BIBLE.

Rev. J. N. Andersen, pastor of the
U. l.. Synod church of Willmar, is a
we'll known enthusiast for more sys'
tenn and thoro work in the Sunday
School. He has made the instruction
of children in the truths, Of the Bible
his especial study for years. AS is
we'll known he has. been in demand for
talks and lectures on this subject at
gatherings far and wide. For his
own work he had weekly lessons print
ed at the Willmar Tribune Office, for
long periods. AS result of his pre-
liminary work a textbook of nearly
700 pages has now been published by
the Augsburg Publishing House under
the title, 1.-THE Open Bible" The work
is edited by DR.. O. M. Norlie, one of
the most thoro publicists among the
people Of Scandinavian descent in Am
erica, in collaboration, of course, with
Rev. Andersen. The work is attract
ing we'll merited attention among other
church bodies of this country. The
following outline of its contents we
clip from a circular describing the
work:
This Is an elementary Introduction to
the Bible. 1t has been prepared under
%A0 auspices u NtAo SUNDAY Sc1OOl CON-
mittee OF the Nerwegian Lutheran
Church for the use Of Bible classes
teachers training courses, young peoples
societies. Bible schools, church acadsm-
les and colleges. Prof. o. E. Brandt
d. D., eff Luther Seminary, has read II
through and written a foreword COM
mending it.
The object of the book is to make
young people interested in the Bible and
to read it. The book is divided into So
LESSONS one for each Sunday in the year
AS the Church schools offer only about
two hours per week in religion, the book
can easily be used as text book al
these schools. The lessons are grouped
into six parts as follows:
I. The Character of the Bible 10
II. The Text Of the Bible 10 les
sons.
III. The Geography of the Bible 10
Nv. The Chronology Of the Bible 10
v. The cant; Antiquities of the Bible 10
VI. The Interpretation of the Bible
lessons.
Each lesson Is provided with q set OF
questions and assignments. The book
hensive tables, besides an index to texts
and subjects. The text index has about
1000 references to the Scriptures. There
are about 1900 titles in the subject in
dex.
We believe that the book Is timely
scholarly, yet clear in outline. and
simple in statement. adapted to the cap.
acities of young people. In many ways
it Is quite. different from the Bible hand
books and introductions now on the
market.
