Good Advice.
As von rend your newspapers
did you ever clip the accounts of
crime committed by people under
the influence of liquor ? I did this
for a short time and as I look over
my collection, I am appalled.
Two boys from our own city
were sent to the penitentiary. The
editorial comment was as follows:
“Recognizing the fact that the
crime was committed while the
culprits were intoxicated, and
also that this was their first, of
fence, the minimum sentence
was given them. This case is sad
in the extreme, as both boys have
parents and relatives in this city
upon whom their penitentiary
sentence will fall heavily. This
should prove a warning to other
young men who like to be con
sidered tough, and who congre
gate for the ourpose of ‘rushing
the can’ and swapping stories of
immoral character.”
Good advice truly! But. it was
not from this quarter that most
help was secured. When last
month we fought the issue of a
license for a saloon in one of the
best, residence sections of our city,
we were on the losing side, but
to tell about that would require
more space than I expect to use
this time.
From"this same paper a few
days later comes a clipping which
tells of an intoxicated husband
returning home late, and because
his supper was not all in readi
ness upon his arrival, beating his
wife until her life was despaired
of. And so on through the pack
et. until'one feels that it must be
liquor, not money, that is the
root, of all evil.
We are banded together to
fight this. What, can we do?
Many tilings we are attempting,
but there are some lines, 1 am
free to confess 1 am discouraged
over, and one is, reclaiming the
drunkard. Honestly, I feel there
is little we can .do for him. only
a miracle of God’s grace is suffi
cient. My 4 hope is with the
youth. •
Let us study boy nature. Find
out what{appeals to it, start, there
and lead the boys to bettter, high
er, grander things than the ene
my can offer.
All boys are interested in ath
letics, Let. us lend our interest,
see that, the proper persons are
in control, and we can make this
one of our most valuable allies.
An athletic coach teaches the
most rigid kind of a total absti
nence. Not only are liquor and
tobacco tabooed, but candy and
pastry as well. Regular hours
for sleep, study and exercise are
insisted upon. In closing let. me
quote from “The Wisconsin In
terscholastic Athletic Manual,”
recently published.
“Football is a vigorous game,
a game, for strong boys only,
and bruises may be expected;
but t.hejpopular impression that
serious injuries are of common
occurrence, is not. well founded.
For a person to be killed or dan
gerously injured in football, is so
rare an occurrence, that almost
every newspaper of the United
States, national or local, reports
it. But for a high school boy to
travel^the beaten road to destruc
tion through the saloon door, is
of too common occurrence to
make-a' newspaper item for a
cross-roads weekly.
The real danger to American
boys is not. bruises but stagna
tion. Arnica will cure bruises
and broken bones will knit; but
the drunkard will not forsake his
ways, nor the cigarette fiend his
cigarettes. While football stands
for training and gives the ath
lete the true athletic ideals, foot
ball is a safeguard against the
use of tobacco and intoxicants
and better than any other game,
offers a safe outlet for surplus
animal spirit, and brings out
strong manly qualities. For a
vigorous boy, the gridiron is a
safer place than the corner gro
cery, and football is a safer game
than pool.”—Word and Works.

It. is nnid that nothing is sure except

for consumption is a sure cure for all
lung and throat troubles. Thousands can
testify to that. Mrs. C, B. VanMelre, of
Shepherdtown, W. Va., says: “I had a
severe case of bronchitis and for a year
tried everything I heard of hut got no re
lief. One bottle of Dr. King’s New Dis
covery then cured me absolutely.'' It's
infallible for croup, whooping cough,

HONEY AND TAN
It stops the cough and heals the lungs
and prevents a cold from settling on your
lungs and resulting in Pneumonia, Pleurisy,
or Consumption.
You are in no danger of serious results if
FOLEY’S HONEY AND TAR is taken,
as it soothes and heals the inflamed air pas
sages and the cough disappears.
Be sure and get FOLEY’S HONEY AND TAR, as preparations
containing opiates stop the cough temporarily by paralyzing the nerves
in the throat and leave the germs of serious lung trouble, and you get
one cold on another because the first one was not cured perfectly.
Saved Hep Life From Pneumonia.
“My wife had a severe attack of Pneumonia which
followed n severe attack of La Grippe and I believe
that FOLEY’S HONEY AND TAR saved her life,”
writes James Coffee, of Raymond, Missouri.
Dr. C. J. Bishop, Agnew, Mich., writes: “I have
used FOLEY’S HONEY AND TAR in three very
severe cases of Pneumonia with good results in every
case.”
Cured When Very Low With Pneumonia.
J. W. Bryan, of Lowder, Ill., writes: “My little
boy was very low with Pneumonia. Unknown to
the doctor we gave him FOLEY’S HONEY AND
TAR. The result was magical and puzzled the
doctor, as it immediately stopped the racking cough
and he quickly recovered.”
