Cor lev after which ''rhe Land of Beu- lah'' was sung by the congregation, and Mr. Corley came forward at the request of President Wilson, and delivered a strong address against the whiskey traffic, citing many in. cidents of poverty and social degra- dation to prove that "Intemperanee is an Evil" and, says he, l am here to persuade men and women to ab- stain, and thus check the monster vice.

The Consumptive's Paradise.

"Go to Colorado! It is perfect Ar cada for cohsumptives! Consumption cannot exist in that climate. People who go there even in yhe last stages of the disease, after q residence of only a few months, come away perfectly re- stored. tell you dose of Colorado is the best remedy for consumption ever discovered. :" Such are some of tue praises lavished upon Colorado as a re- sort for cousumptives, and only prove how egregiously these speakers and writers are of the real nature of the disease. If we were not personally ac- quainted with some of these praisers and know them to be honest, we'll meaning people, we should suspect that tEey had been ''roped'' into an ad- yer ising scheme, to augment the price and sale or Colorado lands, or were

Too Much Fhysic.

Yes, many people are Killing them selves with strong medicines. They are making miniature drug shops of their Ltomachs. Pills. e4lomel add blue mass are taken in quantities for constipation hiilousness and headache. Tue vital organs become overpowered and para llz zed by the use of strong drugs, the designs of nature become tfustfat'd q and disease Is the result. Constipation cannot be cured by the use or drastic purgatives--it may give relief to-day, but the complaint will return to-nor- TOW. Mild and pleasant remedies are best for constipation, billiousness, dys- pepsia, etc.. and for tlis purpose, hotl- ing equals Bailey's Saline Aperient. It acts speedily and eflectually, ii cooling, pleasant and sparkling, and can hardly be called medicine. Large batties 90 Hantg

It seems that the young man had Just fed his stock and having favorite two-year- old colt in the lot he thought he would rub it down some and gentle it a little. No sooner had he touched the colt than it kicked ut him. As a reprimand the young man gave the animal slight kick in the flank, when quick as flash it wheeled and planted d terrific kick hwith both hind feet full in his stomach. bo violent was the injury received that Ythe best medical aid only prolonged the i sufferers life about 2G hours.
