THE Memphis Appeal says "the
rapid progress of temperance prin-
ciples is inspiring those who have
not noticed the march Of sobriety.
We all know tho strides prohibition
has made in Arkansas we find all
New England accepting it; Ohio,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana,
Illinois and Minnesota are all in
movement upon the subject, and
some of them very powerfully.
North Carolina and Tennessee and
parts of Mississippi are nanifesting
proclivities i'm the same direction.
In Missouri there Is also solid OppO-
sition to the sale of intoxicating
drinks. Nebraska is nearly cap
tured by the temperance army !;
and actual prohibition is the law in
Kansas and Iowa. The child "tee-
total" has become man, and the
man promises to become a giant.

strength. But a genuine reform
cannot be made by any one woman,

wear loose and warm clothing, and
bear the weight upon our shoul-
ders rather than over the hips.
