How to Treat
A Torpid Liver
The liver Is the largest and most Im
portant organ In the body, and when tho
liver refuses to act. It causes constipa
tion, biliousness, headaches, Indigestion,
]guß, sour stomach, bad breath, dysen
tery, diarrhoea, pains in back and under
Shoulder blades and under riba on right
side. These symptoms lead to colds, in
(fluonza or other serious troubles unless
corrected Immediately.
An Inactive liver places an extra bur
don on tho kidneys, which overtaxes
them and causes the blood to absorb and
carry Into the system the Impurities that
tho liver and kidneys have failed to clim
taate.

that Is why you hove to take purgatives

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.
Think all you speak, but speak not
nil you think. Thoughts are your own:
your words are so no more.—Delany.

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.

determine bow much expense is add

load of peaches entering a middle

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

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

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.

Thousands of families keep Thed

indigestion, constipation, colic, colds
and fever, thereby preventing illnesses
that might develop seriously.
■When you notice that you are bil
