Ex-lndec George NJ. Curtis has become a
recruit in the Temperance army and has been
selected to carry thD banner that Rufus +. An
droWs bore through so rluy assaults upon the
strongholds Of King Alcohol.
Arryprtar for The SUS was pleasantly re-
cciv"d ty Judge Curtis yesterday. The Judge
said:
Ian total abstinence man. do not so tho
lengths that some temperance people 20. and say
that men ought to H. prevented 10y forco from
drinking but do believe that they can be led
to see tAcir interest in SO doing by sound argu
mrnt aud moral suision."
How would you r'neh tiem?'
Well. have hot spoken yet. A man may

mind. and docs them no good any way. Why.
it does not assimata with the blood; It IL not u
food. it IL only an enemy Of every vital func-
ton. and the vital functions are excited 10 the
intcnsest acton in ord n TO cXpcl it from the
system. That is what produces the oxhiara-
