The efforts being made by certain
class of temperance people of long
standing to belittle the labors of DIR.
Reynolds and Francis Murphy, is not
worthy of the men who are indulging
in the unkind and unjust criticism.
The efforts Of the women in Ohio who
went to the saloons, four or five years
ago, produced the ribbon movements,
and these movements have been pro-
ductive of more good in the cause Of
temperance than the combined efforts
of all the secret societies. Among the
most unfair and most ungenerous crit
les are members of a society that has
had tens of thousands of members add
ed to it's ranks by the ribbon movement.
We are sorry for people who cannot
give a hearty God-speed to all efforts
that tend to help make sentiment ia
verable to total abstinence. We no
tice, too, that some of the men who
have initiated Reynolds and Murphy
in the movement, are constant in their
unkind criticisms of those great lead
ers and their work. This is wrong.
IF you cannot build up without tear
ing down, retire, for heavens sake

We DON'T CARE!-Some dealers say:
Yes, we know that DR.. Prices Cream
Baking Powders is the best; but we don t
care if others are made of saw-dust or
arsenic; so long as they afford US better
profit. and we can sell them. The public
should know these things, and the reason
why adulterated baking powders are
recommended by such dealers. 1t is
because DR.. Prices cost more, and as they
sell them at about the same price as
others, it does not give so good a profit
We should look to the quality of articles
that enter into our daily food, and remem-
be that the maker of good goods can not
put them into the market at the same
price of the adulterated ones.
