A SECOND FATHER MATTHEW Who is
there that does not respect the memory of
Father Matthew, the great champion of
temperance Innumerable societies bear
his honored name; but there is one man
who has struck more sure death-blow to
intemperance, and that man is Dr. j.
Walker; an old California physician, who
has discovered in natures meek and low
y herbs, medicinal tonic and gentle
stimulant that completely takes the place
of the fashionable alcoholic polsons called
tones, SO popular as compromise be,
tween strong drink and cold water, and
does away with the mania for drink, and
in reality cultivates an involuntary disgust
for the same Iteven does more: 1t acts
upon the entire physical system, purifes
the blood, aud produces hale, hardy health.
The discoverer of the great medicinal slim
ulant is surely entitles to the thanks of a
whole nation, and it is not extravagant to
entitle him "a second Father Matthew. y

The Law Of Love the Same Everywhere,

To the Editors of The Argus:
bio Lewis letter, in THE ARGUS of
10Th, was interesting 20 me on account of
the ailusion to the ashlngtonian move
ment in Baltimore. | knew something of
that movement 1t was human love-
that originated it, such as anlmates the
hearts Of those who bind themselves to-
gether in any of the benevolent societies,
Masons, Odd Fellows, etc, but Christian
love took hold of it, as it does or should of
everything good i'll humanity, and it was
this Diyine agency that gave the move
ment, as bio Lewis says, its wonderful sue
cess. itwas simply the Christian grace of
humility that ratied in the hearts Of some
who were high in social position causing
them to put the arms of their love around
the drunkard and help him out of the
darkness into the light
One great aid to their success was, |
think, their social meetings, They were
opened and closed, / think, with PRAYER.
'hnuvh thev knew no sect or aonominatian
as such. Every one seemed to meet On
level ground. High and low, learned or
unlearned, were privileged to speak lin or
der) and tell what they knew about
drinking. Ludicrous incidents were often
related. Among others, at meeting of
the Marions' ian offshoot of the Wash,
ingtonians) one evening, an old man said
something after this ashton: His sweet
heart as he called her, had, in his young
days, given him the mltten. It was more
than he could bear, without calling "spir-
its to his aid to enable him to get home.
On his way he met friend who had an
axe in bis hand, and told him his sorrow.
Lie down here, said his friend in jest,
and I'll cut your head off " lie did SO,
when down came the axe on his queue, -
they were fashionable in those days. and
every individual hair stood Oh end, sober
ing him IN a moment But, said the old
man, when | found my queue" was gone,
| laid my head down again aud said to the
man, cut it off, cut it otf, I'd Jest as liet
lose my head as my queue" And so,
from grave to gay evenings were" whiled
away that would have been spent by
many with very different surroundings.
The same agency that made that
movement "a power for good is as po-
tent TO day as it was then. The liquor
sellers as well as the liquor drinkers
are alike impressible, in a measure, to
Christian love. BALTIMORE

dyspepsia ? Dyspepsia Dyspepsia !!

Dyspepsia is the most perpleXing of all
human ailments. Its symptoms are al
most infinite in their variety, and the for.
lorn and Respondent victims of the disease
often fancy themselves the prey, in turn, of
every known malady. This is due, in part,
to the close sympathy which exists between
the stomach and the brain, and in part al
so to the fact that any disturbance of the
digestive functions necessarily disorders the
liver, the bowels and the nervous system,
ana effects, to some extent, the quality of
the blood.

The Penitentiary Win CLAIM Him.

Last night a Chicago officer came for
Frey, the youthful forger. He remained
at the Harper House over night, preferring
to take daylight for his journey to Chicago
with his prisoner. just before train time
he brought his prisoner up from jail, hand
cuffed to the Harper, where he received
his baggage ADD was taken to the train.
He is very fine looking young man-boy-
ISL IN his appearance, and has been in this
country less than two years. The charge
against him is swindling one Herman
Bergheim, of Chicago, out of $3.50, by
means of a forged draft or bill of exchange
on the First National Bank of Worcester,
Ohio. 1t seems that Frey somehow got
possession Of some blank bills of exchange
having the genuine signature of the cash
Ter OF that bank signed to them and filed
them up and indorsed them to suit. When
arrested here by Officer Kimball he had
one of these in his pocket already filed UP
for S474, and Endorsed, ready to swiudle
somebody with. He also had 1920 in mon
ey in his pockets. His education and hab-
its may be improved by attending our State
school at Joliet for awhile.

said that such thing would be impract-

true in measure, still all such things have
a beginning and when once started and the
people see and understand that it is for
their own good, such enterprises will never
lack for assistance, and although at first
the money expended may seem like bread
thrown upon the waters it cannot fail to
bring good return sooner or later.
| hope you or any of the folks will not
understand from this letter that | am an
opposer of the temperance movement. nor
that | am so much of German as to hold
| them up as models in ece3y respect.
must say though, that my opinion Of the
people has very much changed since
have lived among them, and that LAS |
said in previous letter home) wish some
of the leaders of the present movement
were in Southern Germany for a few
months, | think they would get some very
good ideas, and have some of their pre-
iudices corrected and removed. What
have said as to the drinking habits of Ger
mans, are exactly what [ have gathered
from my own observation of them and
think would be corroborated by any one
who has lived here and taken any notice Of
them.
One thing have not mentioned which
applies not only to the sale of liquor bu
everything else here, and that is, all laws
are better enforced here than with us anC
cannot be broken with impunity. An imi
tation of this with US would be a gooC
