So at temperance meetings we have had tho spectacle of the heaviest eaters and best all-round glutton of the neighborhood standing up as the champion of temperance, simply be. cause he did not drink anything in? toxicating. Now that rum Is on the run it may be well to consider the next les- i son, which is that temperance in- j eludes solids as well is liquids.
