DON’T SHUT IN DISEASE GERMS.
Two months of cold weather are
ahead. Possibly three. By keeping
the windows closed you can shut out
the cold. You can and will also shut
in disease germs. Incidentally, by
breathing the polluted air of closed
rooms you will shut the germs in
your systems. Then you will first
get colds and afterward pneumonia.
The germs of all diseases, measles,
scarlet fever,, whooping cough and
diptheria, that the children bring
home from the school and street,
will take up their abode in your clos
ed apartment, and bv and by they
will fail to work.
Keep the house ventilated and you
will keep the family’s lungs ventila
ted. When the radiator is turned on,
open the windows and the bad air
will go out and the fresh air come in.
When you go to bed use pientv of
blankets and open the window wide.
Sometimes it is uncomfortable to
rise feeling chilly, but it is much
better and much safer than to rise
with fever hammering at your pulses
and contagion surging through your
blood.

W. C. T. U. LETTER.
Opposition to the liquor traffic is
simply a matter of decent manhood
and womanhood.
One of the reasons I am against the
saloons is because it takes all I have
and gives nothing back in return.
Another reason is that if I step into
a shoe store and buy a pair of shoes,
the result is that my feet will he
kept warm ; if I step into a clothing
store and buy clothes fur my family,
the results are that their bodies are
kept warm ; if I step into a grocery
store and buy 1 read, meat, potatoes,
etc., the results is that my family
are made stronger ; if I stop into a
book store and buy a good book, the
result is that my mind is fed and en
riched.
But, on the other hand, if I buy
liquor and drink it, the results are
that I have deprived my fam ly of
the necessit'os of fife and that I have
lost that murh of manhood which
was mine, and as a lawyer, doctor,
merchant or mechanic, soon, very
soon my social standing is gone, my
reputation ruined, friends forsake
me and the end is usually a drun
kards grave.
To oppose the sale of liquor is to
show to the world that v u prefer
prosp- r:y to poverty, sobriety to
drunkness, honesty to dishonesty,
to remain clean, manly and strong
rather than become a brutish, blear
eyed outcast.
WHAT TEMPERANCE BRINGS.
More of good than we can tell,
More to buy with more to sell,
More of comfort less of care,
More to eat and more wear,
Happier homes with faces brighter,
All our burdens rendered lighter,
Conscience clear and minds much
stronger,
Debts much shorter purses longer,
Hopes that drive away all sorrow,
And something laid up for to-morrow.
