BooTLEGGER BOOZE BAD

All ''bootlegger" booze is bad booze.
1t is poison. Sometimes the fatal eff
fects of it are quick; sometimes they
are slow; but they are always the
same. Not all the victims of poison
liquor die from their debauches. Some
of them merely go blind or sober up"
TO find themselves permanently wreck
ed in health. Nor are all the tragedies
prefaoed by debauches. Often a single
drink brings it's sorrowful requel and
ruins life. Such potable booze as
exists in the country is not for sale by
"bootleggers." Their stock is made to
sell at the highest profit, regardless of
the effect it has on anybody who is
fool enough to drink it. That there
are still many such fools is evident
from the reports of booze fatalities
that come from all parts of the
country. Philadelphia's coroner says
that poison liquor killed 800 there last
year. No "bootleggers" were included.
Poison whiskey added many deaths to
its list for the year, and many people
are i'll from drinking "bootleggers" i'm

A GOOD MEMORY

Mankind is prone to regard good
memory as possession beyond price.
This it certainly is-within limitations.
Yet here are conditions under which
a short memory should be much more
valuable. We would benefit by for
getting the petty Sights and insults
by ceasing to envy those more FORUM
ate; by wiping from our minds all
traces of bitterness over wrongs and
injustices. Such a faculty for forget
ting would leave in the human heart
memories the antithesis of these, that
would bless and sweeten our lives and
the lives Of those about us.

FORMING NEW HABITS

Making New Year resolutions was
once matter taken seriously by many
people. 1t was considered a very fav-
orable time for people to swear off
from indulgence in both great and lit
tie vices.
While the majority of folks who
tried to abandon bad habits at that
time, may have yielded to them again
in few weeks, yet there always have
been some who through such resolves
have been able to attain mastery of
their own lives.
1t is great thing when mans
mind and conscience are the COM
plete rulers of his life, and he is able
TO make his habits take their place
as the servants of his spirit. The
folks whose habits rule their mentality
are like team of runaway horses.
They may be able to tear along the
road without smashing anything, but
mans brain and will power are un-
happy passengers behind such unruly
beasts.

quent small payments, rather than
make large payments at longer inter
walls" said Mr.. Lampson. The
amount of the payment will depend
on the quantity OF stored wheat that
is sold adyantageously before the
first OF the year"
Under the marketing plan of the
association. approximately one-twelfth
OF the total wheat supply is sold each
month OF the year. This assures the
members OF the average year-round
price on his grain, payments being
made TO members from time TO time

FORGETTING OLD YEAR eRupeEs

One beautiful custom is said to pre-
vail in certain parts of Europe at
New Years. Whatever quarreIs or
differences may have come between
friends and relatives, It has become a
custom to overlook such i'll feeling, ex-
change visits, drop the past and make
a new start.
Many troubles come because people
entertain petty feelings. They make
much Of fancied sights that may be
wholly imaginary They impute
wrong motives, and many quarrels
thereby come to embitter family rela-
lions and break up old friendships
In nine cases out OF ten there is no
good reason for such arrangements.
People should be big enough to for.
get them, and give their old friend
ships chance to re-establish them.
selves. Don't blame other people too
sharply for unpleasant things they
have done. You may have erred your.
self Let the bright New Year senti.
ment sweep those petty thoughts out
OF peoples hearts.
