There is danger on every hand. We are told to beware of the wine cup for it biteth like a serpent Are the saloons closed on Sunday ? The front blinds are down, but the back door is open wide inviting our young men to go in and out at will. Is there a law in your town saying they shall be closed V If so, where are your officers and men to see it enforced? There should be a law, and is in some states, against sell ing to habitual druukaids. There must be somethiug done to save our boys from the rum, tobacco and cigarette fiends One of the deadliest poisons that eyer cursed out laud, ruins both soul and body.

HOW TO CUBE BED WETTIM® There are thousands ot children trke •gu-cely know what It is to awaken In tfe* morning without a sense of mortification. These children are not responsible far the diseases of the bladder or kidneys that make their lives miserable. It Is a moral crime to scold or whip a child who has lost control over the muscles of the legs and eannot walk properly and it Is cruelty to punish A child whfe has lost control over the bladder. Train the child to empty the bladder Just before going to bed and in two hams afterward take the child out of bed to again empty the bladder. This la easier than changing bed clothes every day, and encourages the little one. Give frequent baths, and allow plenty of outdoor exer> else. Avoid scolding, and prohibit tea» coffee and highly seasoned food. Give FOLEY'S KIDNEY CUBE; allow only a light supper and no fluids within two hours of bedtime. J. W. SHOOT, of McKeesport, Pa, sayst "FOLEY'S KIDNEY CCBB cured my little boy of urinary trouble; I tried several physicians with no success. Foutrli KHMTCT CURB was recommended, and before one bottle was need he was cored' and now he can sleep all night without any trouble."
