jesters are main ly responsible for bringing in and treading into them she whips the dust out of easy chairs and sofas in which these thoughtless creatures have taken their ease at her expense they are quick to laugh at her strenuous efforts in behalf of their selfish com forts while they are slow to give her a word of encouragement or a helping hand she labors to make the home bright cheerful and wholesome she spares neither labor nor strength that the comfort of the household may be assured ber work is a labor of love and there is no inconvenience she will not endure to make the house a

in a narrower sense moderation in the use of alcoholic liquors or drugs of course everyone likes food and water but people who take drugs soon cul tivate a longing for more and more so that they at last become slaves this affects the mind the charac ter and the morals this craving is very hard to break but the only thing is to stop us from this bad habit boys and girls sbould realise what harm strong drugs including the nic otine found in tobacco can do the habit of smoking is injurious because it is poisonous and because it irritates the lungs and throat in addition one who uses drugs or fmor tobaccos becomes dullin his studies it finally permanently affects the nerves and brain the chewing of tobacco is even worse than tring because it is a filthy habit as well soon the addicts appetite falls blm it also affects his digestion his health suffers but these troubles will dis appear if he stops the use of the drugs the wind soon becomes short when the heart falls to pump the

industries and busi nesses special attention is forced to this question at the present time largely through high taxes the busi ness men of anytown are naturally the chief bearers of any burden of taxation and the question is forced to the notice of all that unless the business men are getting the business they will not be able to meet taxes with the general reduction in buat- s through the depression it is plain that unless the business people of a town are given a fair chance for at least tbe business in their own town then they are in a bad way in deed it is equally evident that the
