"I have never found, in thirty-fve yearS of
continuous study and practice Of medicine, any
preparation of SO great value as AYERS CHERRY

Almost every person has some form
of scrofulous poison latent in his
veins. When this develops in scrofu-
lous sores, ulcers, or eruptions, or
takes the form of rheumatism, or or
ganic diseases, the suffering that en-
sues is terrible beyond description.
Hence the gratitude of those who
discover, as thousands yearly do,
that Ayers Sarsaparilla will thorough
ly eradicate this evil from the system.

ton of the young in public schools.
Teachers whose aim is to train those
committed to their charge to lives of
true usefulness and manliness should
remember that without moral culture
they are not fitted for good citizenship.
Moral training in the public schools
is not what some superdcial-minded
people call religious Or sectarian teach
ing. The general code of morals for
the observance of all rightfully dis
posed people, whether Protestant or
Catholic, or those of no particular
creed, is essentially the same. The
rights of no religious denomination is
infringed upon by the incalculation Of
good morals. We commend to the in
structurs of youth the following sound
remarks by late distinguished writer:
81 believe, in this country, any sys-
tenn of education that does not educate
the morals as well as the intellect is
a fraud and a failure. To make a
symmetrical man or woman, the moral
nature must be developed side by side
with the intellectual or the student
becomes an intellectual monstrosity."

Last Wednesday that old-time OBJ
servance known as Lent began.
Butchers will not furnish their stalls
with the usual supply of meats during
the forty days; the fish markets in the
meantime will have a more lively run
of business. Some medical writers
have said this change is better for the
physical man, if that alone were the
consideration. a change of living for
a short time inyigorates the organs of
life. But the spiritual man is more
than compensated for the endurance
of privation and abstinence. Many
persons will alter their manner of liv-
ing during the lental period for more
punctillious regard to religious rites
and duties; others will put on an unreal
exterior of sanctity, seemingly con-
forming to the religious customs of
their neighbors. But the great multi
tude will pursue their accustomed way.
eating all the good dinners they can
get, INDUCING in games and amuse-
ments, and living as if there were no

whole, is for good. Whatever inclines
to thoughtfulness on the great prob.
lens of life makes men and women

IMMORAL LITERATURE.

An important and timely bill has
been introduced in the legislature to
prohibit and punish the selling or CIV
ing away of immoral or obscene books,
papers or pictures. The bill is care
fully drawn and covers every possible
evasion Of the intent of the law. A
statute of this kind is greatly needed
to prevent the almost wholesale corrup-
ton of the youth of the country. Com
paratively few of bur citizens have any
adequate idea how large proportion
of the reading matter purchased is of
a demoralizing character. In order to
entice boys to the passion for vicious
reading, papers of this class are given
away to them as a bait to buy the i'm
moral stories of bandits, robbers and
knaves of all sorts. The boy reads
the narrative Of daring adventurer
for plumber, or fierce encounter with
highwaymen and robbers, admireS the
courage and heroism displayed in con.
quering the aggressors, and longs to
take hand IN such exciting encoun-
tiers. Many young boy has had his
mind turned by the false pictures of
life painted with attractive fiction. If
the stories of many in our jails and
penitentiaries were rightly told their
ruin would be traceable to what has
been called yellow-covered reading.
1t is the duty Of legislatures to inter-
fere in such matters. Immoral traffic
in whatever degrades, demoralizes or
Injuries society, is legitimate subject
for the interference of law to suppress.
This legislative obligation is now and
always has been recognized in every
state and in good government. Hun
dreds of parents will have reason to
thank the legislature for the enact
ment of a law which shall remove the
for enticing the young
with vicious reading.

A new temperance movement in
Minnesota, noticed a short time ago,
which is quite novel, and is referred
to again, as at this time there are so
many plans suggested for the restric-
tion of the practice of liquor drinking,
it is well to give them all, as far as
practicable, hearing. The Senate
Committee in the Minnesota legisla-
ture recommends the passage of a bill
granting permits at SIS each per annum
to male adults who can prove that
they are only moderate drinkers, and
that their friends are not liable to
suffer from their drinking excuses.
No person who is not the rightful
holder of such permit will be allow
ed to purchase or obtain Intoxicating
liquors to be drank: the Liquor dealer
who sells to any one not the owner of
such permit to be subjected to severe
penalties. Such are the outlines of the
bill, other provisions being necessary
to perfect the law. 1t is claimed that
the money raised from such liquor
law would realize sum sufficient to
dispense with all town, county and
state taxes. The law would have OBJ
jections, but what license for the traffic
in intoxicating liquors is without OBJ
lection. There may be no especial
merit in the proposed law. but the best
method of dealing with the liquor ques-
tion needs to be thoroughly canyassed.

given to one newspaper and the other
papers lgnoreds
For the better understanding Of the
matter, we repeat, in substance. the
chief points in answer to the above
question two weeks ago.
When Judge Martin came into the
Office he selected one of The three
papers in the county for his organ; that
it is generally understood that the office
of County Judge is not political. 1t
was also stated that the Probate print-
ing patronage of this county probably
amounted to $500 year, and that
there has probably been paid to the
Courier from $1,000 to $1,000, since
Judge Martin has held his present Office,
and to the TELEGRAPH printing office
less than $50.
To the foregoing answer to our cor
respondent the Courier makes no OBJ
lection to its correctness, but frankly
explains by saying that the Courier
lent its influence to the election of
Judge Martin, and that it was natural
that he should give the most of his
printing patronage to that paper.
This explains and justiies what the
TELEGRAPH said about newspaper
patronage two weeks ago.
In regard to what the Courier said
last week of the amount of printing it
had done for the probate Office, and the
fifty per cent saved the people, it may
be replied there is probably not a
newspaper in the state that would not
have done the same amount of print
ing for like compensation as that
paid to the Courier. and have been glad
of the opportunity to do it. There is
no collision Of statements in respect to
the printing patronage of the County
Court. The people will now understand
the situation.

circulation. Twenty-four of the Sena-
tors are said to be in accord with the
views of Senator Palmer.
