JUNIOR TOPIC—What Strong Drink Does to the Drinker. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Deadly Foe* In Disguise. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Alcohol False Claims and True Chargee. I. A Father’s Wise Counsel (vv.l9- 21). 1. What It Is (v. 20). “Be not among wlnebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh.” This means persons who meet together for the express pur pose of drinking Intoxicating liquors and eating purely for the gratification of their appetites. Wine bibbing and gluttony usually go together. 2. Reason given (v. 21). "The drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty.” Intemperance in drink ing and eating lends to ruin. Poverty Inevitably follows In their wake. 11. Woes of Those Who Indulge in Wine (vv. 20, 30). The miseries attached to the drunk ard's life: 1. The awful pain which causes one to cry out "Oh!” Many, Indeed, are the pains which men suffer because of strong drink. 2. Sorrow —the remorse which causes one to cry out “Alas!” Many are the expressions of bitter regret which dally come from the lips of the drunkard. Sometimes It Is tfie sor row of poverty of himself and family —clothed In rags and half starved; i sometimes It is the sorrow of follow ing a broken-hearted wife to the grave and seeing his children scat tered among strangers. 3. Contention—strife and quarreling, j Much of the lighting among men is directly caused by their passions be ing inflamed by strong drink. The drunken man is always ready to take offense, ns well as to give it. 4. Babblings anil complainings. The wlnebibbor complains of everything; 111 luck, broken fortune, ruined health, loss of friends, of fate and of God. 5. Wounds without a cause. These arc wounds which might have been avoldtsl- from fightings In which a sober man would not have engaged, and from accidents which ure purely the result of Intoxication. ti. Redness of eyes. Tills has ref erence to the bloodshot eye of the tip pler which renders dim his vision. All these woes come upon those who tarry long at wine (v. 30). Those who frequent the places of drinking soon are tarrying long at wine. 111. The Attitude Enjoined (v, 31). Look not at It. Do not put yourself in tho way of temptation. The only safe attitude toward strong drink is total abstinence, and the only sure way of total abstinence is not to even look at It. IV. The Drunkard's Bitter End (vv. 32-35). 1. The acute miseries resulting (v. 32). "It blteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder." Strong drink, like the poison of the serpent, per meates the whole system and ends In the most fatal consequences—the bit terest sufferings and death. 2. The perversion of the moral sense (v. 33). (1) Tlds excitement causes the eyes to behold strange things. Tills denotes the fantastic Images produced on the brain of the drunkard. Since unbridled lust always goes with wine drinking, no doubt it Is true as the Authorized Version has It. "Thine eyes shall behold strange women." Drunken men do desire and rave after unchaste women. (2) “Thine heart shall utter perverse things. His moral sense being perverted, his utterances partake of the same. He tells lies — his words cannot be rein'd upon. Any one who has had dealings with a drunkard knows that his statements cannot he relied upon. 3. He Is Insensible to danger (v. 34). The drunkard Is unsteady; his hrnln reels to and fro. He is foolhardy, even as one who would He In the top of a ship’s mast where there Is the greatest danger of falling off. 4. He Is Insensible to pain (v. 35). The drunkard is utterly Ignorant of what happens to hltn while under the Influence of strong drink. Many bruises and wounds the drunkard has which he cannot account for. 5. His abject bondage (v. 35). After all Ids suffering, sorrow, and disap pointments. he goes on as a bond slave to follow the ways of sin. 6. Hell at last, for no drunkard shall inherit the kingdom of heaven (I Cor. 6:10). Melancholy. Melancholy sees the worst of things —things as they might he, and not as they are. It looks upon a beautiful face, and sees hut a grinning skulk— Bovee. Thinking and Speaking.

TRAVEL OF FOODSTUFFS BETWEEN RAILWAY AND ULTIMATE CONSUMER A Glimpse of the Long and Costly Route Which Most of Our Foodstuffs Travel Between the Railway and the Consumer. A line from a popular song—“ There’s l Long, Long Trail A-windlng”—ap plies to at least one of the many and devious paths which old man H. C. L. treads In Ills effort to make living complex and expensive for the average person. The particular byway referred to Is Hint which wholesale shipments of food follow In their costly travel from the railway car to the retailer. A car load of fruit or vegetables can be sped half way across the continent in a day or two, but on arriving in the city where the food is to be retailed, the shipment stnrts on a winding trail which too often adds little but un necessary costs and delay. Eliminating Expensive Carting. Tbls expensive shunting and hauling of foodstuffs from point to point In the cities and the spoilage which the un necessary handling causes are the big Items centralized wholesale terminals eliminate. The bureau of markets. United States department of agricul ture, lias been on this trail, literally, following shipments step by step to determine bow much expense is add ed to the cost of food by unnecessary handling between the shipper and the retailer. The route followed by a car load of peaches entering a middle Western city over a railroad not pro vided with team tracks well illustrates this phase of the distribution problem. Tills car bad to be switched from the railroad on which it entered the city, through the crowded switch yard, to another track which is ac cessible to teams. Here it stood until the receiving wholesalers’ teamsters could finish another job. After this delay two wagons were drawn up be side the car. in turn, and were loaded with tlie peaches. Thereupon they started for the wholesale house which was two miles away. The teamsters’ route lay through the most congested part of the city, the wholesale district being close to the busy retail section. The wagons were a full hour and a quarter making the trip. Meanwhile, the sun beat down on the peaches and the city’s dust and dirt filtered in through the crates so that tiie fruit was far from being as fresh and attractive ns when taken from the car. Moreover, the journey so Jostled and bruised the fruit that some of it had to be sold at a dis count. Though tlie wholesalers were partic ularly anxious to get the peaches de livered to tlieir sales room on tiie day 4 TO USE FINE MORGAN SIRE IN EXPERIMENT To Further Study of Breed for Saddle Purposes. Two-Vear Old Stallion Lucky Sent From Vermont Farm to Famous Ranch in Texas—Breeders Are Much Interested. To further the study of the Morgan as a saddle breed, the United States de partment of agriculture has sent tiie two-year-old Morgan stallion Lucky from the Morgan horse farm at Mid dlehury. Vt., to the Santa Gertrudls ranch at Kingsville, Tex. This is the “home ranch" of the famous King ranch, otx* of the largest and best known cattle and horse breeding os tnbllshnients in the United States. The bureau of animal industry is pay ing close attention to the saddle pos sibilities of the Morgan horse. The King ranch will breed Lucky to some of Its high-class mares. Lucky is a brown stallion 14 a >* hands high and weighs 925 pounds. He was sired by Hugo. Hugo was sired by Meteor Morgan and is out of Calve by General Gates. The dam of Lucky is Eunice by General Gates and out of Caroline by Daniel Lambert. Lucky, bis sire and dam. and one of his grand dams were bred at the government farm at Middlebury. FAVOR UNIFORM CONTAINERS First Essential to the Most Profitable Marketing Is Standardized Products. One of the first essentials to satis factory marketing arrangements is standardized products. Cans, jars and other containers should be uniform in pack, appearance, quality and condi tion. Every container which is fully up to the standard represented by the label or brand will then be an adver tisement in itself and often a guaranty to further ourchases. of arrival, because of the favorable market, only about one-third of the shipment came in by closing time, and it was noon the next day before the remainder was delivered. Tlie long, winding trail did not end at the wholesalers’. Once unloaded, the peaches were put on display for tiie benefit of various jobbers, some o£ whom purchased a few dozen crates and some larger amounts. Some of these men were situated within two or three squares of the wholesaler and their purchases were delivered on hand trucks. In the case of other job bers another wagon transfer was nec essary. Next in this process which econo mists call distribution, came the retail ers to look over the lots, in the end buying small quantities such as they could sell In a day or* two. This, of course, necessitated another handling and carting over the city’s rough pave ments. Last, but not least, came the con sumers, ench buying only a small frac tion of a crate and paying a big share of the expense all the handling had entailed. Cartage Is Costly. This Instance is no exaggeration. A very large part of the foodstuffs brought to American cities goes over some such devious trail. One Wash ington (D. O.) wholesale merchant has stated that be spends .$20,000 a year for cartage which could be saved if the city had a wholesale terminal where cars could be unloaded directly into premises occupied by the whole salers. Following an Investigation In New fork city it was estimated by a local organization that the saving in handling costs which would result if adequate terminal facilities were es tablished would be $2,000,000 annual ly by the borough of Richmond; $8,000,000 by Queens; $10,000,000 by the Bronx; $21,000,000 by Brooklyn, and an even vaster sum by Manhat tan. Marketing experts admit that there are many baffling aspects to the high cost-of-living problem, but contend that the remedy for the phase of our costly distribution system just de scribed is plain. Cities which will pro vide modern wholesale terminals, where shipments can be delivered from the railroad cars direct to whole salers a few feet away, will make pos sible the saving of immense sums of money now charged up to the con sumer. BOYS SURPASS THEIR ELDERS Total Purebred Stock in Idaho Com munity Increased to 25 Per Cent by Young People. It Is estimated that only 3 per cent of the cattle In the United States are registered, and experts say that an In crease of 2 per cent accomplished In from five to ten years is a mark well worth aiming at. Out in Usttck, near Boise City, the boys have shattered this record, ac cording to a report brought in by a United States department of agricul ture field worker who recently visited the community. These boys, acting upon their own initiative, and aided by agents of the department and the State College of Agriculture, bought 19 head of purebred stock, thus increas ing the total for their community 25 per cent.
