In enacting laws restricting the sale
of strong drink we see no reason why
there should be any discrimination in
favor of fermented liquors. Many
facts go to show that beer is produc-
tive of quite as much misery and de-
bauchery as whiskey. The Sugerin-
tendant of the Woman's Reformatory
Prison at Sherborn, Mass, states that
out of 204 inebriate women examined
by him he has found that 128 began
their drinking by the use of beer, 81
by drinking whiskey, 90 began with
wine, : with gin, and IL could not
remember what beverage was first
used. Several hopeless drunkards, far
gone towards insanity, had never
drunk any other intoxicant than beer.
Beer is the liquor that keeps up the
saloons. and the saloons are every

He has a brother of the name of Dyer, who
owns a farm in Cape Elizabeth This Dyer raises
vegetables also, selling them in Portland
As Dyer, and especially WEIGH Dyers, is not

the belief that this Cape Elizabeth Dyer is the
father of the much-sought-for Joseph. A day or
two ago young man rode over to Oxford VII

of him except to see that he was from 20 to %
years old, of medium size, rather light complexion
and somewhat pale, as though recovering from
