To the Editor of the Dispatch: It is my desire to suggest a few thoughts on the subject cf Temperance, but I greatly feel my inability to handle it, though it is occupying the minds of a great many learned men and women, I fear it is too greatly neglected in our public schools also our Sunday schools and churches. We call this beautiful country in which we live Christian America, and we are proud of our country. We boast of our freedom and religious privileges. But alas! this great evil of strong drink is here with us; it not only occupies the darkplaces of earth, but it his a prominent place in our govment. Statistics tell us that more than four million (4,000,000 voters in the United States go to the ballot boxes every election day to elect men into office to make and control laws for our country, though strange as it may be with our country dotted with so many churches, filled with so many voters, there still remains the greatest sin making devices the worlds history ever knew. Now I have not a word of abuse for any one who is given to the habit of strong drink, but a heart full of sorrow and sympathy for any one who is overtaken by this evil. It is owing to diversity of action that there is one whiskey establishment left in America today. It is for the church people of this country to say when this evil shall end. It is because the twenty-three million (23,000,000) people in the United States who are prominent in church work do not say that it shall end. I frequently see in papers articles arguing prohibition does not prohibit, I would like to say that a law against strong drink would prohibit in the same degree as the law against stealing prohibits stealing. Since the da}' God handed to Moses the table of stone, we have had the law against stealing etc., from that day until this; the violation of that law has been common; then is the law a failure ? 1 by no means. We who violate that ' law must suffer the penalty. 1>U ULIC WUUiU CVCl uxinixx \JL v-Uiitending that a prohibition law would prohibit, when its enforcement is in the hands of men who are opposed to1 it, or who lack moral courage necessary to enforce the law. What we need is men in office who love the law and will maintain it in its enforcement, especially is this true in this law. It is of no use to place a prohibition law in the hands of its enemies for enforcement. It is sure to be a ( failure. Awake citizens! Enough human lives have already been offered on the alters of our selfishness aud neglect. The liquor business is a disgrace to our government and our legislators should see to it that this foul blot upon our Christian civilization should be removed. If we break the fetters of this terrible evil it must be done through legislators. Legisla tors are secured by ballots, and ballots are cast by citizens. A man must take a square and unmistakable 1 stand for the right or for the wrong, for righteousness of for evil, for happiness or for misery, for justice or for oppression. As for me, I am heart and soul against the liquor trafic. P. C. Koon. Gilbert, S. C., August 25,1906. The Breath, of Life. It's a significant fact that the strongest animal of its size, the gorilla, also has the largest lungs. Powerful lungs means powerful creatures.

The president endorses the Carnegie reform spelling, and has instructed the public printer that all official documents from the White House including president's messages, shall be printed in accordance with the recommendations of the spelling reform committee headed by Brander Matthews, of Columbia University. This committee has published a list of 100 words in which the spelling is reformed. The list contained such words as "thru" and "tho" as the spelling of "through" and "though." The president's official sanction is regarded as the most effective and speediest method of inaugurating the new system of spelling. Not only will the printed documents emanating from the president utilize the reform spelling, but his correspondence also will be spelled in the new style. Secretary Loeb has sent for the list of 100 words which has been reformed and upon its arrival will immediately order all correspondence cf the president and of the executive force of the White House spelled in accordance therewith. As the spelling reform committee shall adopt the new reforms they will be added to the president's list and also to that of the public printer. June the 18tn the simplified spelling board made public a list of 300 simplified words decided upon, and which was widely published at the time. Among the most prominent changes the final "ue" was omitted from such words as "catalogue," and "t" used for "ed" in words like "addressed" and "shipped." As a dressing for sores, bruises and burns Chamberlain's Salve is all that can be desired. It is soothing and healing in its effect. It allays the pain of a burn almost instantly. This salve is also a certain cure for chapped liands and diseases of the skin. Price 25 cents.
