20. The disruption of the fam
lily union" The latter was caused,
said DR.. Biederwo1f, first by the
prevailing method of education
which practically removes boys anf
girls from immediate and continuous
parental influence in spiritual things
for the period running between the
inordinate absorption in material in
terests. Modern life is a dash
through crowd. A man hardly has
the community as a social center
and its responsibility in guiding the
religious education of youth.
Legitimate as this desire is, when
all ones pleasures are found outside
the home circle the family life from
the standpoint just now under con.
sideration must consequently suf-
fer" he concluded.

with the wonderful new elixir, so all
you have to do TO get rid of that cold
is to step into the nearest drug store,
hand the clerk half dollar for a bottle
| of Aspironal and tell him to serve you
two teaspoonfuls with four teaspoon
fuls of water in a glass. With your
J watch in your hand, take the drink
at one swallow and call for your money
back in two minutes if you cannot
feel your cold fading away like dream

| effective, the easiest to take and the
most agreeable cold and cough remedy
for infants and children.-(Adv.)

Dollar Powerful Factor.

Most of US in the United States
before we come to Europe do not
appreciate the power of the dollar
over here. We know that one dol
lar buys fourteen French francs or
eighteen Italian lire when the nor
NAL exchange rate Is less ,ti,an six
francs or lire to the dollar To
Americans in Europe this means
we can buy much more in Europe
today than formerly. but for the
French and Italian merchants and
government agents, who must boy
food and manufactured articles in
The United States and pay IN dollars,
1t means that the food and articles
when they reach Europe are almost
prohibitive as to price.

of French house which contracted
for 100000 worth of rice in New
York when the dollar was worth
seven francs. Today he must nav
