and Women Morally Equal?" I quote from this 

 book two paragraphs from the first page. 



" In our hind and age more women accept Christ 

 and unite with the churches than men. Twenty 

 times as many men are in our jails, reformatories, 

 and penitentiaries as women. In respectable society 

 men swear a hundred times where women swear 

 once; drink a barrel of whisky where women drink 

 a pint; use a ton of tobacco where women use 

 a pound; sow their 'wild oats' where women must 

 sow purity and love. 



" That women are better than men by practice, I 

 cheerfully admit. That women are better by nature 

 than men, I positively deny." 



This booklet has 29 pages. 



The last one on tlie list is a booklet of 27 pages 

 entitled " Modern Use of Tobacco," by D. H. Kress, 

 M. D. It comes from the No-tobacco League of 

 America. I make quotations from it as follows, 

 from pages 7, 8, and 25. 



" A cable message from London to the Cliicafjo 

 Tribvne stated: 'The cigaret is playing havoc with 

 the British army, and if something is not done 

 soon. Great Britain will be defended, or rather left 

 undefended, by a collection of weak-minded and 

 weak-bodied youths incapable of real effort.' " 



" We are rapidly becoming a nation of smoke- 

 inhalers ; and the number which we now produce, 

 including imported and hand-rolled cigarets, amounts 

 to aliout one hundred millions a day." 



" The people of the United States are now spend- 

 ing annually one and one-half billion dollars for 

 tobacco. This is twice a-s much as we spend for 

 bread, three times as much as we spend for educa- 

 tion, and tive times as much as we spend for Chris- 

 tiajiity. Our tobacco money would buy all our 

 drygoods, including boots and shoes, and have a 

 surplus large enough to pay all expenses of our 

 army and navy. Our tobacco bill amounts to about 

 $50"per second, night and day. It is not possible 

 for a nation that persists in this reckless manner to 

 poison itself, long to survive." 



The above extracts will, I think, convince you, 

 without doubt, the importance of having these book- 

 lets read and studied thruout the whole wide world; 

 and with this thought in view the following low 

 prices have been determined on by the publishers: 



One copv, 3 cts. ; 3 of a kind, or assorted, 10 cts. ; 

 in lots of ioO, at cost. Address Prof. T. W. Shan- 

 non, Delaware, Ohio.

EXPEEIMENTS WITH SWEET CLO- 

 VEE at the Ontario Agricultural College ex- 

 tend over a period of 25 yeai s. The yield 

 of hay per acre was not very different from 

 that of alfalfa for the first year. If the 

 crop is to be used for hay production it 

 seems essential to cut it before any bloom 

 appears. It was found that cattle refused 

 the hay at first, and would have to be starv- 

 ed to make them develop the acquired taste 

 for the bitter flavor of sweet clover. It was 

 shown by a two-year experiment, also, that 

 alsike, mammoth red, and common red clo- 

 vers, all excelled sweet clover in affording 

 pasturage. Such, in brief, is the vertlict of 

 the Ontario station. It dv^es not sound as 

 ■roseate as some of the repoi ts in this coun- 

 try. Possibly the difference in soil would 

 make the difference. The same report also 

 states that some beemen in Canada had re- 

 ported that they had found the flavor of the 

 honey from sweet clover objectionable to 

 the average customer; also that it was ob- 

 jectionable as winter stores. The article 

 concludes by saying: "It would seem that 

 on the whole the importance attached to 

 sweet clover as a honey-plant by beekeepers
