Old Coin Is

One OF the effects OF the world

Theresa was Empress OF Austria.
The Maria Theresa thaler Is
silver piece about the size OF an
American dollar. showing the h'sd
OF Maria Theresa on one side ana
the Austrian double-headed eagle on
the other. Although Austria had
no possession in Asia or Africa, the
Maria Theresa thaler was in great
demand In Arabia, Abyssinia, Egypt
and along the Mediterranean coast
Of Africa.
At first worn only as an amulet,
IL was subsequently circulated as
coin and treated as legal tender.
Prior to the world war, gays the

OF them were in circulation, o. pee

Time and again attempts have
been made by Italian and AbySinian

To Eliminate
Gambling
By DR.. VIM. A. McKeever,

TINE real and permanent rem
edy for the early gambling
tendency on the part Of
young humanity is to train every
child to work appropriately to his
age and to the needs OF his char
acter development.
The ordinary fifteen-year-oid boy
wants money, quickly and plenty OF
IL, to spend. Now, IL he be I'M
trained to work to produce. to
earn money, his thought turns at
once to the trick or scheme for
getting Il by the shortest route.
He has a hungry capacity to get
without any consciousness OF any
thing OF his own TO give in eN-
change.
But once YOU train Il boy 10
work, to earn, to save and to man
age the small sums OF money
which come into his hands through
the efforts thereof. he becomes
conscious of capacity. of .
money-value within himself. He
feels that his ability to do worthy
work is an asset. 1t is some
thing of his very own, a resource
TO be offered in exchange for any
thing else OF money value which
he may desire.
The youth who Is taught to earn
through his industrial effort, to pay
out of his own resources a share
of his cost and keep, to produce
q part of what he consumes; that
boy will in time lose his respect
for the hing-for-nothing at
titude OF the gambler. He will de-
light to give something for some
thing and will be naturally led on
toward honest work. productive
earning and a square deal as a life
policy.
