As Sacred Duty!

Every man has, or should have, an
interest in the welfare and success,
not only Of his own family, but in the
families of those about him, and any
misfortune or evil visitation which
tends towards destroying the happi-
ness, or the life, Of a neighbor, should
arouse as firm a spirit of antagonism
in the heart Of every man capable OF
sympathy, as though the misfortune
had overtaken his own immediate
household. Even though one should
not come up fully to the requirements
of the Divine injunction to 'love thy
neighbor as thyself," common regard
for the peace of the community, and
welfare of humanity, should inspire
every true man to unceasing combat
with an evil which has for its object
the ruin of mankind.
That the horrible liquor traffic is
running thousands upon thousands Of
men every year, the vender Of the
stuff will not himself attempt to deny.
He rather rejoices in the fact that
men become hopeless slaves to his
deadly business His traffic is a
scheme to break up the peace and
prosperity Of a community, and con-
spiracy to destroy happy homes, for
money.
Does it not, then, become the i'm
perative duty of every good citizen,
every man in whose breast a noble
impulse finds lodgment, to use every
possible effort to destroy the influence
of this horrid evil, and ultimately to
wipe out the evil itself? No matter
what may have been attempted, and
failed of success. This has not less
ened the evil. The vawning dens of
infamy and death still invite young
men to ruin: the drunkard still reels
on his way to the grave; the neglect
ed wife still tolls for the support of
her worse than orphaned children;
the gallows is still sending victims
into dark and hopeless futurity; the
wretchedness, and misery, and horror,
still continue. It is therefore the
duty of the citizen who has an inter
est in the prosperity of mankind to
labor zealously to bring about bet
ter condition Of things. Let him
teach, in the family circle, in the
Sabbath School, in the Public School,
in the Church, on the street-every-
where, that the doggery-keeper is the
worst enemy community could pos
sibfy have: that his work has for it's
object the defeat of righteousness, and
the destruction OF men. Let the
whole aim Of every good citizen be to
make the eyime of doggery-keeping
contemplate. The fellow who en-
cages in it knows that he is con-
temptible in the eyes Of decent peo-
pie. Let the business be made so
contemplate that no man laying
claim to respectability will dare to
patronize it, or encourage it.

Cream and Cold Weather.

What luxury is bath in sum-
mer. Surely, but greater luxury is
a clear head in winter; just when al
most everybody is sneezing and snuff
fling with cold in the head. But
when you are attecked use Ely's Cream
Balm. 1t cures colds in the head, and
what is better. it cures the worst cas-
es of chronic catarrh and hay fever.
Not a liquid, not a snuff. Pleasant
to use. Quick relief. Radical cure.

Humnr in the Stomach.

Much of the distress and sickness
attributed to dyspepsia, chronic di-
arrhGa and other causes is occasioned
by humor in the stomach. Several
cases, with all the characteristics OF
these complaints, have been cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. Other cures eff
fected by this medicine are so won
derful that the simplest statement OF
them affords the best proof that it
combines rare curative agents and
when once used secures the confidence
of the people.

The Proper Way.

To attach stamp to an envelope is
to moisten the envelope and then ap-
ply the stamp. Try this. If we all
did the proper thing we would use
DR.. Jones Red Glover Tonic for dys-
pepsia, costiveness, bad breath, piles,
pimples, ague and malaria diseases,
poor appetite, low spirits, headache,
or diseases of the kidneys, stomach
and liver. Price so cents, of E. ID.

Don't Spill the Milk.

There is mouse crying over spilled
milk" says the old saw If you are
not only bald but have no life in the
roots of your hair, there is 70 use cry
ing over that, either. Take both time
and yourself by the forelock while
there is forelock left. Apply Park
er's Hair Balsam to your hair before
matters get worse. It will arrest the
falling off of your hair and restore its
original color, gloss and softness. 1t
is perfect dressing withal, clean,
richly perfumed, cools and heals the

Possibly the following may be old,
but it strikes US as being pretty good:
''Do you know that tobacco is your

A happy surprise it was to Mr.. a. L.
Norton, Of Bristol Conn, when ATHLoPHoRos
put him on his feet, and sent him cheerfully
about his business. Let him tell his own story:
eAbout three weeks ago I was taken
with q severe crick in the back. For four days
was unable to turn in bed without help and
when lifted up could not stand on my feet. Twas
induced to try ATHLoPHoRos after all the usual
remedies failed. In 20 minutes after taking the
first dose could lear my weight upon my feet
In two days was able to get about and attend
to business. In two other cases which have
come to my knowledge its use has been attended
with the results"
A poor man in Philadelphia had to bor-
row dollar to buy bottle of ATHtoPHoRos.
On account Of his poverty his name shall remain
secret He had suffered terribly from Rheu-
matism. He gratefully writes:
~ took my first dose Tuesday afternoon,
and on Wednesday, after but seven doses, I had
not sharp severe ache left. Then reduced
the dose oue-half and took the remainder of the
urday, when took severe cold and was
able to use my left hand. purchased another
bottle and by bedtime found relief. The
medicine is all you claim for it."
Investigate ATHLoPHoRosa all you pleased
Find all the fault you choose with it and
yet the fact remains, that it is doing what
no other medicine ever could do for Rheu-
matism and Neuralgia.
If you cannotget ATHLoPHcRos of your drug
g1st, we will send it express paid. on cciHt OF
regular price-one dollar per bottle. prefer
that you buy it from your druggist. lat If he
hasn't it, do not be persuaded to try something
else, but order at once from US as directed.
