Temperance in Iowa.

In Iowa they have State law prohibit
ing the sale of strong liquors, but authoriz-
ing the licensing of beer and wine. The
law has never been enforced in large
towns. In small towns, villages, ETC., it is
easy enough to enforce such a law, but
very difficult in cities. For years past quite
number of wholesale liquor stores have
been in existence in the large towns in
Iowa, while in every considerable village
there have been plenty of saloons having a
wine and beer license, and under cover of
that selling all kinds of liquors. In Dav.
export, for years, the traffic has been al
most unrestricted, and whisky saloons and
billiard saloons have been open on Sundays
the same as other days, and doing better
business than on other days The present
temperance movement, however, bids fair
to change things In Iowa. In Burlington
wholesale liquor dealers are hurrying their
stock out of the State fearing its confsca-
ton under the State law, while all over
Iowa there seems to be determination tc
enforce the law. One quite effective
reason always urged by saloon
men in this city against clos
ing the back doors here on Sunday was
that it would drive thousand every Sun.
day out of this town and into the Daven.
port saloons. Should the State law be en-.
forced over there, however this objection
would cease to influence anybody. 1t be.
gins to look as though the law would be
enforced, for the Davenport Democrat
says
The ladies, yesterday, commenced dis.
trlbutlng .copies Of the Iowa LIQUOR Law
throughout the city, leaving copies at eacl
OF the liquor stores and saloons. The CIT,
mas been districted, and committees ap
pointed to distribute temperance decu
ments throughout each district. Consid
cradle CONSERVATION was created anon,
some of the liquor men, and we under
stand that one firm, who had just ordered
lot OF liquors, has rescinded the order, an,
another, who had fifteen barrels of whisk

WHERE DOES IT COME FROM.

Pints and quarts of filthy catarrhal dis
charges, Where does it come from? The
mucous membrane, lining the chambers OF
the nose, and its glands, are diseased, SO
that they draw from the blood its liquid
and exposure to the air changes it into
corruption. This life-liquid was to build
up the system but it is extracted and the
system is weakened by the loss. To cure,
gain flesh and strength by using DIR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which
also acts directly upon these glands, cor
recting them. applying DIR. Sage's Catarrb
Remedy with Pierce's Nasal Douche, the
only method of reaching the upper cavities
where the discharge accumulates and comes
