Charles Stelzle “Remember Lot’s Wife.” This is next to the shortest verse in the bible but it’s one of the most powerful texts in the word of God. Lot and his family were fleeing from Sodom— a city which has become a by-word for rottenness and corruption. They had been warned not to turn back to look at the city, but evidently the temptation was too strong for Lot’s wife. She became a pillar. of salt! This is a most mysterious event. Few preachers talk about it, because it’s so hard to explain. mi But whatever happened to her, it must have been a terrible-puttishment, ©)’ And here’s the inighty lesson that it teaches— once the power of sin’ grips a man or woman, it’s next to impossible to break completely away from it. ij ‘i Now probably Lot’s wife hadn’t gotten very deep into the muck and mire of Sodom—just, enough to soil her soul. Se WS But it was enough to hold her back—and she was lost. : : “Remember Lot’s wife.” Thousands of: years after it happened, the new testament writer reminds men of this tragic inci- dent.

GY owe Forty-five states are enforcing new, or old laws, for the.control ande treatment-of-venereal diseases. Thirty-one states within the last .six months have appropriated large sums of money to be used in this work exclusively. Twenty-three states within this period have abandoned old laws to adopt new and uniform ones suggested by the Public Health Service with the idea of making the fight more effective. { )! ; This is one of the really great benefits of the world war which the people are just beginning to appreciate, becausé ‘they have not yet ful ly’ d the mavattude, or merit of the undertak- ta is pleasing to note, owever, that opposi- tlorexisting is rapidly dwindling’ to insignificance as the facts are being placed before the public, and the time is not far distant when the people will be solidly united in this great health fight. Nothing short of an alarming situation could have worked such wonders in so shart a while. And it might be well stated again that any’ dis- ease’ affecting as high as twenty per ¢ent of the young men of a community is alarming. It was the presentation of these facts to congress and the law-making bodies of the states that determined them to take drastic and quick action, Old laws governing preventable diseases were revived, or extended to include the highly com- municable syphilis and gonorrhea. Millions of dollars were appropriated. New and more effec- tive measures were considered urgent in many states. Some of the more progressive common- wealths have even made veneral disease a bar to handling food. Medical certificates are required as a qualification to secure a marriage license. Public houses of prostitution have practically been closed;all over the United States. Free clinics for the treatment of the diseases are meeting with an almost unprecedented support. ‘Anyone who can read the signs of the times must-realize now: that any community which calls itself progressive cannot longer. permit this men- ace to public’ health to. stalk. unbridled through society. -It.is not a reform:movement, as we un- derstand’ reforms today, but ‘a better health cru- sade, being worked out intelligently. along the! same scientific'lines as the work in making yellow fever’, small-pox and the plague extremely remote. | ‘Those who are ignorant.and_can’t comprehend| the crying necessity for cleaning up venereal ‘dis-| eases must be taught...

Yet soot filled chimneys and defective flues are the cause of more fires than almost any thing else. As soon as the fires are allowed to go out, every chimney should be inspected, thoroughly cleaned and any necessary repairing done. The days of hot sun and dry roofs are at hand, and the flying spark is doubly dangerous, as are the burn- ing soot inthe chimney, the brick fallen out of place, or the plaster gone, leaving the lath and woodwork exposed. Aside from the danger of fire, no housewife who has had the experience of walking into her parlor and seeing the floor and furniture covered by a contrary wind, will question the wisdom of the clean flue. This branch of the spring cleaning is a sensible precaution anywhere, but especially so in farm houses, or other buildings remote from adequate fire protection. | WITH THE EDITORS | WHY PENALIZE YOUNG AMERICA? In imposing a 10 per cent tax on athletic equip- ment and sporting goods the Sixty-fifth congress struck a direct blow at the physical development and moral welfare of young Americans, -- : Presumably this bill was directed against “pro- fessional sports.” As 70 per cent of athletic equip- ment is purchased by boys and girls under 18 years of age, the actual result has been the penalizing lowances and a modern form of “taxation without representation.” This grievous mistake shouldbe corrected at the jearliest opportunity.—Cincin- nati Enquirer. : of young Americans with exceedingly limited al-|, | eee ee ESTELLE “ANDO | 1a att A NEWSPAPER MONOPOLY The purpose, and the only purpose, in the pas- sage of the newspaper bill which is to be voted on at fhe referendum election is to create in North Dakota an iron-clad newspaper monopoly to be conducted under the direction of Mr. Townley in the interest of socialism. This applies espécially to the weekly press of the state, and to some of the smaller dailies. The socialist managers prob- ably do pot expect to, put any, of the larger dailies gut of, bysiness through the operation of this bill, ‘but;inise<faniasethe bill: will tend'to diminish the receipts of such independent dailies as can be leg- islated out of the “official” class, it will be satis- factoty.to- the bosses, for' every little helps.

Then take a look at the “democratic” feature, concerning which so much sand is being thrown in the eyes of the people, The people are to choose their own paper. Very well. But before they get a chance at it some choosing will be done by others. The first selection of official papers will be made by the state printing commission. Somebody at Bismarck, acting under orders from St. Paul, will name the official paper for each county in the state, and by that act he will decree that not only shall every paper but that one be deprived of: the notices relating to public-business, but of all reve-; to be published.

COMPLETED Magnificent New Laboratory Daily Capacity of 36,000 ne . Bottles What is said to be one of the larg- est pharmaceutical laboratories in the United States has been completed at Dayton, O., for the manufacture of Tanlac, the well-known ‘medicine, which, according to recent reports is now: having the largest sale of any medicine of its kind in the world. The ierection of the new plant was made necobeay) by the rapid growth of the. business, as the older plant was found to be wholly inadequate to supply the ever-increasing demand which at the present rate of sale will amount to more than five million bot- tles for 'the present year alone. By the erection of this plant the manufacturers, of Tanlac are giving to the world just one more evidence of the remarkable growth and, expansion of their business, and of their absolute , confidence in its future. This announcement. will be read with interest not only by the many thou- sands of Tanlac agents scattered throughout every state of the Union and throughout Canada, but to the millions who have used it beneficially as well, . The new building occupies 60,000 square feet of floor space. It is six stories in height, practically fire-proof throughout, and is of striking archi- tectural design. .It also has private railway facilities, This beautiful new structure now ands in-striking-contrast beside the gies building. where -Fanlac-was first ade. ] i : | Wiswiors othe laboratories are strongly impressed with the extremely modern character of the equipment.

While the manufacturers are neces- sarily working for capacity produc- tion, it is a fundamental rule of*the Tanlac Laboratories that’ the quality of the medicine ‘shall never be sacri~ ficed'to secure quantity output. Uniform, quality is guaranteed by a series of ‘careful inspections by expert chemists, from’'the time the roots, herbs, and barks ‘are received in their rough state from all parts of the globe until their medicinal properties have been extracted by the most approved processes, The finished medicine is then bottled, labelled, and shipped out to the tens, of. thousands of druggists throughout | ited States and Can- ida, to. sup] mand never before equalled for this or any, other medi- cine, The executive: sales offices-ate lo- cated in Atlanta, Georgia, and occupy almost an entire floor of the Fourth National Bank Building of that city.
