SALOON ALWAYS AN EVIL
Day Will tome When Alcohol Will
Put Under Ban as Other
Poisons
(Golden Age.)
Professor Hadley, of Yale, has
declared that, when the masses of
tlie people nre informed ns to the
tine nature of alcohol stimulants,
and as to the scientific action of
this drug oo the physical and ner
vous system, the public sentiment
will demand thi.t it lie put under
the same ban as other poisons, and
that legislative action will be uni
versally taken in this direction.
Richard Allen White speaks as
follows of the saloon in a recent
article on this subject published iu
the Saturday Kveuing Past:
"The saloon is an evil. It may l»e
deemed a necesary evil by those who
feel bound to apologize for it; but it
can have no defenders, liven where
it is licensed, protected by law
under restrictions which narrow its
iniquities to moderate and exped
ient vice the saloon, personified bv
its devotees may lie characterized
by no adjective more flattering then
miscreauf. At its highest estate it
is an outlaw, and the greatest legal
distinction that the saloon has
achieved, after a century of fighting
for statutory recognition is to be
branded generally by the Sup
reme Court of the United States as
a nuisance. Its purposes are all
venal. It is in-business to promote
violence and crime; to injure the
public health; to burden our chari
ties and to conupt the civic morrfls
The saloon is an incarnate calamity.
Because its work is slow and in
direct people often tail to see how
much it kills and maims men and
tortures women like a malicious
spirit."
Relief Froi Rlnumiflc Pains
' I suffered *'ith rheumatism for
over two yeari?." says Mr. Holland
Curry, a patrolman, of Key West,
Fla. "Sometimes it settled in my
knees and lamed me BO I could
hardly walk, at other times ft
would be in my feet and hands so
1 was incapacitated for duty. One
night when 1 was in severe pain
and lame from it my wife went to
the drug store here and came back
with a bottle of Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. I was rubbed with it
and found the pair, had nearly gone
during the night. 1 kept on using
it for a little more than two weeks
and found that it drove the rheu
matism away. I have not had any
trouble from that disease for over
three months." For sale by S. U,

Drinking By Nations.
Perhaps few persons would be
lieve without proof that more l>eer
is consumed in Great Britain than
in Germany, and considerable less
spirits. Nevertheless this is shown
by the figures of the annual report
of the British chancellor of the
exchequer. Other facts of interest
that are indicated are that the
Belgians drink far more l>eer than
any other nation, Denmark comes
next to Germany in beer drinking,
we follow Denmark with four gal
lons less per inhabitant, 16.8 to 20.
5 of the Dane, next is Austria with
14.3. In Belgium the enormous
amount of 48.8 gallons of beer is
the consumption per capita. The
average Frenchman drinks thirty
gallon* of wine in a year and more
spirits than the American, and yet
drunkenness is rare in the laud of
the lily.
Another thing shown by this
report, and hereby hangs a lesson,
is that France and the United
States are the only countries of
note in which the consumption of
alcohol is on the increase. Alcohol
consumption in Great .Britain fell
off 20 per cent from 1905, in Ger
many and Austria 4 per cent and
in Belgium 10 per cent, but in
creased in France 27 per cent and
in the United States 14 per cent.—

Any mother who has had exper

Female Weakness
"Last Fall," writes Mrs. S. G. Bailey, of Tun

from female disease, with great pain. After tak

am not well yet. but dwi so much better that I will
keep on taking Wine of Cardui till 1 am perfectly
cured.?
Despite the envious attacks of jealous enemies
and rivals, Cardui still holds supreme position
today [as in the past 70 years] for the relief and
cure of female diseases. It stops pain, tones up
the organs, regulates frii advice

There has been some talk lately,
of times Incoming tighter, but
there is absolutely no room for
that talk. Wheat and cotton are
soaring in price, and the trade be
tween this country and Germany
and France alone, has increased
from $590,000,000 to {700,000,000.
The prosperity we are now enjoy
ing will probably last for ten or
fifteen years without a check. We
are producing enormous crops and
our mines are yielding large out
puts of gold and silver and other
valuable minerals, all of which
find a ready market. With these
facts to support our prosperity,
and famine in other lands,'it looks
as though our volume of business
would make a new record this
year.
