worldwide significance. If prohi-

the effect will be felt around the

NUMBER OUR STREETS


The people of the twin cities
boast, and rightfully so, of living
in a strictly up-to-date place. 1t is
true that we have practically all of
they have not However, there is
one thing lacking, which if done
would take us out of the cross road
town class, and that is to have our
homes and places of business num-
bered, like in most other places.
We know of villages not SO large as
Malta or McConnelsville where this
is strictly followed. Some years
ago this plan of numbering the var
iOus houses was started here, but
for some reason was not continued.
Another thing is the unfamiliarity
we have with the names of the var
jous streets of our towns. How
many can name and give the loca
tion of the various streets? There
are many who do not even know on
what street or avenue they them
selves reside. Let some one come
here and inquire for some particu
lar location, and we usually direct
him like we would if we were 10
eating a certain weed out in some
big field. How much better it
would be to say that "Mr. B lives OH
II Jefferson St." than to tell him
to go up two squares, then turn to
the right for about four houses,
and on the right side of the street
in the lower half of the house he
will find his party, etc. 1t ap-
pears to us that every house, store
or office on the various streets
should be numbered, and then on
every business envelope should be
printed the street and number, and
no personal letter should go out
without bearing the street and num-
ber of the sender. Some of these
times we may have free mail de-
livery, then it would be necessary
to have these things done. But
why not put them into effect now?

America fails in the working out of

America fails in the working out of
national prohibition it will be a
death blow to prohibition the world
over. What is being done in Bur-
ma? Miss May Mack is our mission
ary there and she says, "In Burma
the w. C. T. U. has been organized
for over 80 years. The enactment
of laws totally prohibiting the man
ufacture, possession or sale of al
coholic liquors would be cordially
wecomed by the great body of the
people of this country"
Miss Norville and other w. c. T.
u. missionaries in South America
say "The fact that the U. S. has
triumphed and now is saloonless
nation is arousing in her people a
determined purpose to emulate her
example"
The president of the w. c. T. U.
in Uruguay says "The recent visit
of our worlds vice president Miss
Anna A. Gordon was an inspiration
to us all and has proved an impetus
to our work"
If we as Christian people do our
full duty to uphold the cause of pro-
hibition, what may we hope for?

Worth Considering

The question is not so much how
you contract a cold, but how to get
rid of it with the least loss of time
and inconvenience. If you will con-
slider the experience of others under
similar circumstances, who have
been most successful in checking
their colds, in their beginning, you
will secure bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy without de-
lay, and use it faithfully. There
are many families who have used
this preparation successfully for
years and hold it in high esteem. 1t
is excellent.-Sold Everywhere.

Constipation

Constipation of the bowels is a
stoppage OF the sewerage system
that removes waste matters from
the body. 1t is as necessary that
your bowels move regularly once
each day, to carry off this waste, as
it is that the waste pipes of your
home be kept open to carry of the
waste from the house. If you would
enjoy good health, keep your bowels
regular by taking Chamberlain's

The Bruisers.

There is now a great revival of the
well known fighting game; every
bruiser seeks his rival and encamps
upon his frame; there's a carnival
of scrapping. slugging, punching.
kicking, slapping, and we moralistts
are yapping that the whole thing is
shame. For the bruisers who are
bruising might pursue better
trade; we would like to see them
choosing honest effort with spade;
they might well be fixing flivvers. or,
as butchers, slicing livers, or be log
ging by the rivers where our beams
and joistS are made. Though the
pugilist be clever, though his skill
be understood. all his toll is waste
endeavor, doing no one any good;
in the ring we see him paving; but
our praise he would be drawing If
he spent the long hours saving
flfty-seven kinds of wood. Why
put in the golden morning knocking
human maps askew? There are
cows that need dehorning, there are
useful chores to do; there are roofs
that should be mended, there is
corn that should be tended, there
are labors large and splendid that
are wearying for you. Every time
task is finished. you a victory
have won; world disorder is dimin-
ished by the useful work you've
done; but the world is none the bet
ter when a fighter doffs his sweater
as the champion go-getter for a
stack OF unearned mon.
