Temperance 'motes® {Conducted by the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union > SUBSTITUTE MILK FOR BOOZE Milk contains all the elements need l to build up and sustain the body. That is why work* rs feel satisfied af ter drinking it. The shipbuilders of Seattle are using lIfPOO pint bottles of milk every lunch hour, and the only reuson they do not use 20,100 is that there is a limit to the supply. And as for ice creatu cones, great piles of them go like hot cakes every noon. The heaviest consumers of milk and Ice cream In Seattle shipyards are said to be the steel construction men —riveters, plate hangers and the forge men. This work exacts a heavy toll on physical strength and these workers find milk an element thut puts “pep" and vigor into them. •‘The chnnge from boor to milk has been a mighty good tiling for every body concerned," said W. It. Ilailey, who has worked in the shipyard pat tern shops off and on nearly thirty years. “In the old days a foreman could never tell how many men he would have on the Job the next day after pay day. It was tlie rule for the men to break for the nearest saloon as soon as they received their checks and most of them anchored there un til they were turned out —broke. I've known fellows in those days that couldn’t buy a pair of socks because they never had anything left after (lie first visit to flic saloon. When some of the men did come back to work they were sodden and dull and in capable of doing a good day's work. “Things nro different now. These men who are drinking milk Instead of beer have clear skins, clear vision and clear minds. They are able to do a fair day’s work every day and can make extra effort when it’s necessary.” SAVING MAN POWER. New Hampshire, like other com monwealths made dry by state enact ment, has proved that prohibition re sults In marked conservation of man oower and money power. Here is the record of “drunks” of eight cities for he first month after the law went into effect contrasted with the correspond ng month under license: * 'l9lß. 1917. Berlin 3 79 loncord 0 84 Dover C 37 Franklin 2 39 Manchester 48 343 Nashua 24 81 Portsmouth 11 93 Somersworth 3 22 Totals 103 752 This represents 049 “drunks” saved m one month in these eight cities. It s safe to assume thnt an equal num ber of real “drunks,” not arrested, vere unable to work after pay day and nit of a job because drunk. Allowing i conservative estimate of only five days’ loss of time for each drunk (many were 30 days) we have 6,490 bays’ work saved to New Hampshire jy eight cities alone in one month of orohibltlon. At $3 a day tills is near ly $20,000 in money. 3IBLE CLASS DISCONTINUED BE CAUSE OF PROHIBITION. In a four-mile trip through the South rnd the far West, Miss A'nnn A. Gor ton. president of the National W. C. T. U., found the people In dry terrl ;ory well satisfied with prohibition, and n the large cities like Portland, Ore., md Seattle, Wash., no Industrial dis turbance htul followed its adoption. “The only criticism, I heard,” she said, “was in Portland, where they said It had put out of business the largest Bilile cluss in the country. Of course [ was shocked to hear that, but when the president of the local Woman's Christian Temperance union told me thnt she had been for a number of years teaching thnt Bible class every Sunday morning In the county Jail, and that prohibition had taken her class away for her, I went on my wuy re lolcing.” ABSTINENCE AND EFFICIENCY. • As regards straight shooting It Is everyone’s experience thnt übstlnenee Is necessary for efficiency. By care ful and prolonged tests, the shooting efficiency of the men was proved to be 80 per cent worse after the rum ration than before. What Is true of the soldier Is true of the man who makes the supplies for the soldiers and sailors. Neither civilian nor sol dier can be at his best for work In rhe trenches or In the factory when he uses Intoxicating liquor. It takes three or four men at home to support one soldier In the trenches. If the civilians at home destroy their effi ciency through drink they destroy the vupport of the army Just ns effective ly as if th*> evil result came in direct contact With the army itself.—Admiral Jelllcoe. A SOLDIER’S PLEA In the department, “Letters from the People,” of the Chicago Herald and Exnminer we find this: Sir—As the son of a father brutal ized through drink, I urge you to do everything in your power to help the prohibition measure. I am leaving for camp realizing the agonies thut my mother is suffering without the aid of her three boys, all of whom have gone to the front. THE VICTIM OF A DRUNKEN FATHER. (Nanw wUhUfcld) PEOPLE MUST TAKE VICTORY LOAN OR INJURE BUSINESS If Banks Were Forced To Carry Whole Loan, They Would Have No Money To Lend To Public That the Victory Loan, like Its four predecessors, must be a "people’s loan’’ Is especially stressed by Carter Glass, secretary of the treasury, in a state ment to the public. It is not to be a “bankers’ loan.” The nation's busi ness situation depends upon as wide a distribution as possible of the Vic tory bonds. The banks, it is pointed out, must be left free to advance money for business purposes; to the merchants and manu facturers and the farmers. If all the banks' money is tied up in loans to the government, it stands to reason that there will be none left to lend on crops. It would mean “tight money," which means high interest rates and refusals to extend notes and a general hardship upon the men who depend upon the banks to assist them in car rying on business and agriculture. ~S V '/sunt lirfbtUP*#* .Uu w '* /jf/ , n 3>*g* Don't Forget the Roof! The need for the billions the Vic tory bonds will bring is plain to any man who stops to think. The war is not over, though the actual fighting has ceased. The bills are still running ap. Millions of men are still in uni form, drawing pay and food and cloth ing. The Secretary of the Treasury declares: “Government contracts cannot be re pudiated. The goods must be paid for in full. Our shipbuilding activities must be carried out.” So, it can easily be seen that the Job is not 'finished. What would you think of a farmer who built him a house, laying the foundations, putting up the walls, ceiling the rooms —and forgetting the roof? The roof will not be put on our na tional house until the job is finished and the bills paid. The campaign for Victory bonds will begin on April 21. The exact details of the issue have not yet been an nounced, but it is considered certain that the bonds will be made an unusu ally attractive investment. Daily Thought.

Helps Sick Women Cardui, the woman'* tonic, helped Mrs. Wil liam Eversole, of Hazel Patch, Ky. Read what she writes: "1 had a general breaking-down of my health. I was in bed for weeks, unable to get up. I had such a weakness and dizziness, .. . and the pains were very severe. A friend told me I had tried every thing else, why not Cardui ?.. . 1 did, and soon saw it was helping me . . . After 12 bottles, I am strong and well.” TAKE CARDIN The Woman’s Tonic Do you feel weak, diz zy, worn-out? Is your lack of good health caused from any of the com plaints so common to women? Then why not give Cardui a trial? It should surely do for you what it has done for so many thousands of other women who suffered —it should help you back to health. Ask some lady friend who has taken Cardui. She will teil you how it helped her. Try Cardui.

Mail them, with copies of their circulars, to FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION Washington, D. C. ARE YOUR TAXES HEAVY? THEY MAY BE HEAVIER YET Probably every reader of this paper finds his taxes a bit higher than he likes to pay. Thousands of them have been struggling for the last few weeks to make out reports on income taxes to the government, and have found that six per cent takes a pretty heavy slice out of what was left over on New Year’s day. Many of you had to bor row money to pay the taxes. But this tax is nothing to what all of us will have to pay if the Victory Loan fails to go over. Uncle Sam’s war bills must be paid. He prefers to borrow the money from us and pay us back later on. But if he can’t borrow it, he must take it—in the form of taxes. It’s like the difference between rent ing a house for ten years or buying it on the installment plan. In one case, you wind up with a thick bundle of rent receipts. In the other, you have a deed to your home. Isn’t it better to lend your money to the Government at a fair rate of in terest than to pay it out in taxes, which never come back? That’s worth considering when the time comes to invest in Victory Bonds. DON’T SELL BONDS CHEAP. Holders of Liberty bonds of any Is sue are warned by the government not to accept the first offer made by a “shark” in case they are forced to sell their bonds for ary purpose. It is best to borrow on your bonds instead of selling them, and the banks will usually grant a low rate of inter est. But if you must sell, go to a reg ular bank, where you will get the full market price. If you can hold on, all the better, for the Liberty bonds will certainly bring 100 cents on the dollar after a few years of peace. Removable Rubber Heel.
