Just about this tithe a handsome, oily, prepossessing man Came along with just the nicest, simplest little plan. “If you’ll license twenty barrooms at five hundred each,” said he, “You can statt your city hall fund with ten thousand dollars. See? Issue bands and build your halt and pay your bonds otF at your ! ea e; Thus your hall will soon tie paid for from your liquor license fees.” Touched us on our tender spot and found us just as so't a» wax— Beautiful new city hall and not a ftiugle cent more tax! Let me see population was bout ten thousand then, And we had at least a hundred good, substantial business men. Not a nicer litti** city north or south, or east, or west— beholds and churches, welbattemled, all well fed a|id all well dressed. . . Seldom had a business failure, never had a sheriff’s sale, Not a pauper in the poorhouse, not a prisoner in the jail— Just a sort of modern EJen till the tempter came along. Since we listened to the Serpent everything’s been going wrong. Poorhouse full and jail is croweded, church nealected, schools ran down; Same old story, why repeat it? just a liquor license town. Uome deserted for the barroom, husband at the “poor man’s club; Wife, who once was blithe and happy, makes her living at the tub. Wages go for beer and whiskey, trusting merchants have to pait; Business failures, vacant buildings, cheapest thing is real estate. Everywhere you see “FOR SALE” signs, everybody wants to sell; One sarcastic owner says, “I’ll trade this lot for one in ilell!” Yes, we built the city hall, l ut who can count its fearful cost? Leave out everything but money—just the money that we’ve lo t— What’s the thousand dollars yearly? Count it anv way you will, Fifteen times ten thousand dollars will not pay our liquor bill. Twenty barrooms—each must average twenty five, at least, per day. Don’t you see? they’ve not to get it, or the business will not pay That’s one hundred fifty thousand that our hundred merchants lose— * I' . Should have gone fog food and clothing books, and hats, and boots, and shoes. Better for those hundred merchant^ with their goods upon the shelves, Each had given his hundred dollars—built that city hall them selves, Saved trade and saved the city; yes, and sav»d the human souls That the monster DRINK is claiming as he gathers up his tolls. Would you balance that ten theusaud which they ^ay us year by ‘ year. Gainst'that tiny drop of water that is called a woman’s tear? By what subterfuge of reason, by what sophistrv beguiled, Would you take ten thoussnd dollars for the safety of your child? Therejyon see it in a aut-shell. There’s your liquor question square. What's the answer? Read the papers. You can feel it in the air. Ask your neighbor. Ask the ages. Place your ear upon the ground. Listen closely. Don’t you hear it?

A glass of beer is bat mildly stimulating, bur it leads you on tc another and another.

CHARLES R JONES, the National Chairman of the Prohibiton Party, states that the sale of intoxicating beverages in the Putted States decreased during the months of July and August nearly one million dollars a day. Mr Jooea stales that the grea'.e^ decrease was io the beer production, and this in the face of the fact that July and August are said to be the two months of the year during which beer is most heavily consumed, flit statements were based on the official figures obtained frohi the Internal Revenue Depart ment at Washington. This is indeed pleasing news. It shows the trend of the times. It indicates very accurately that the people are awakeuing. The alcohol delusion haa held sway with the human race for generations. It has made miserable, devitalized, brutes of miilioae of men. It has wrecked the hopes and ruined the lives of millions mothers and children. It represents one of our greatest evils. It is a stimulant. It is a d- pe. It destroys the dolieacy of the nervous powers. It takes away all that is best in human character. It interferes with elimination. It helps to retain the dead cells in the body. It helps to fill the body with death. The alcohol gassier is a dope fiend, because his mind is at all timea befuddled. He is not a man in fcvery sense of the word. Acy good strong boy can handle a man who is in the habit of dop ing himself regularly with alcoholic liquors of any, kind. Alcohol lesesns yonr strength, it almost obliterates yoor endurance. It leessens yooi ability to reason clearly and effectively. It distorts yoor views of life.' It exaggerates yoor own conception of year ability and at the same time materially lessens it. A man who has so little respect for himself jmd for his stomach as to force his functional organism to handle this vile stuff deserves all the pen alties that come to him. Alcohol in d moderate quantities stimu lates ycur appetite. It makes you eat more than you need, and then yon are doped with food as weii as witfar alcohol. Alcohol shorten!yoor life, mars yoor talents, destroy! yoor ambitions. No man would dare use alcohol either temperately or otherwise if be actually understood its effect upon the homan body, and a maq who will thoroughly inform himself ef the influence of this poison and thee deliberately nse it thereafter, is nothing more than a maudlin idiot. He it the king of nil fools; for h man can not dring alcohol and remain a man. He will coon be a mere im- |itaiioo, a cipher, a miserable, sneaking >>ioeom$eop. And when MRS. W. A.

Pepsin alone won’t do, for that digests albumen only. - All digesters which depend main ly on pepsin are only half-way helps. They fail on faA, on starch, on phosphates—on the main part of your food They fail to aid bowel digestion —• very important part. That Is why the Stomach fails to get well—to do its own digesting. There is always some food left nndigested to irritate the stomach lining. Thus the inflammation is continued, and dyspepsia does not end Kodol alone does all that tho stomach does, and all that the bow els do toward digestion. Kodol alone contains all the in gredients needed for perfect diges tion. Eat what yon need of the foods you want, and let Kodol, for » little time, do the digesting. i The result is instant and cons-- plete. The pain will cease, the irri tation end You will be astonished to see how quickly the stomach regains its strength.
