WIVES FOR BAR KEEPERS.

A singular suggestion was that OF a Mr.
Campbell in a temperance lecture i'll Mays
vile, Ky. 1t ought to set every bar rooln
tippler to thinking. He said:
- Bar rooms are not kept for amusement.
There is not a man in the State who wonlsa-
keep n bar if there was no hope for a pr Y
Let every man who has brains enOug \
attend to his business determine
drink AT a bar, and the bar rooms will
be closed. Men who are ashamed of
habits of drinking, and Who must have
screen to hide them, will not often have AN
opportunity to drink elsewhere, and one
great step in the temperance reform vii!
have been taken. Bar keepers in this city
pay on an average two dollars per gallon
for whisky One gallon contains on ala
average SiXty-tive drinks. and at ten cents a
drink the poor man pays six dollars and
fifty cents per gallon for his whisky. In
other words, he pays two dollars for iii.
whisky and four dollars and fifty cents to =
man for handling it over Il bar. While il
would he better for all not TO drink; some
men will have whisky, and my advice +"
them is: Make your wife your bar keeper.
Lend her two dollars to buy gallon al
whisky for Il beginning, and every time you
want a drink go to her and pay her ten
cents for it. BY the time you have drunk Il
gallon she will have six dollars and fifty
cents, or enough money to refund the Nv"
dollars borrowed of you, To pay for another
gallon of liquor, and have balance of NV"
dollars and fifty cents. She will be able t"
conduct future operations on her own capt
tai, and when you become an inebriate, nu-
able to support yourself, Stunned and de
spised by respectable people, your wife viii
have enough money to keep you unit! you
get ready to fill a drrnkard's grave. But
had you paid all this money to bar keeper
he would not have given cent To bury you,
or a crust of bread to keep Your Children
from starving.

he gives a detailed analysis, and concludes
by stating that rhis vegetable milk most
certainly approaches in its composition to
the milk of the COW; it contains not only
fatty matter, but also sugar, cascine, and
