TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
Contributed By Ladies' Of Washington T@pR-
ance Union.

The "Do-evertbing" policy, Of which
Mrs. LiyermOre spoke In her address
on the 18th of January, Is obtaining in
Massachusetts. About two months
ago Mr.. Faxon, of Quincy, Mass, sent
to Washington q. H., for copy Of our
nine o'clock ordinance and Of the Pc
titiOn which was partially circulated
among our citizens, praying our Town
Council to remove screens from all sa-
looms, billiard rooms, etc. The result
is that the temperance people of that
State are doing a wiser thing than we
did. They are appealing to the Legis-
lature, instead of the municipal au-
thOrities, for a law to abolish conceal
ment in drinking. They propose to
have the screens taken down and the
curtains rolled up in the saloons, so
that che who runs may read" the
record and statistics Of patronage.

For years David AllingswOrth suffered with
Rheumatism and Notwithstanding the best med
ical attendance, could not find relief. He came
to the SciOto County POOThouse, and had to be
carried into and ont Of bed, on account Of nus
remedies which had beeh applied, the Directors
Of the POorhouse resolved to use the celebrated
German Remedy, ST. Jacobs Oil, and this was
fortunate resolution: for, with the trial OF one
bottle, the epatient was already much better, ana

could again walk about without the use OF
cane.

when a Massachusetts, reformed man
said he didn't think We needed third

almost by his own efforts, performed the
very serious and difficult feat Of getting

fayorably on bill 10 establish an Alco-
