The Fool and His Money.

The worhiugman who puts his
money into the saloon Keepers till is II
fool, lie mortgages his property and
the we'll being Of himself and family,
beyond redemption. He puts himself
under power that uses him 10 step
upon; to grow fat upon by dcyouring
him; and takes the manhood out of
him.
We need say nothing against the
saloon keeper; we need to indulge in
no TRADE against rum: nor 10 preach
against the drinking of intoxicating
liquor, on moral grounds; nor To say
word about prohibition or license; it
is enough to point to the spectacle of
the workingmm's delivering himself
over to degrading life, where the
brute is developed in him and his en-
nobling qualities are suppressed. IL is
the degradation of the man that is so
conspicuous: lie throws himself away,
and for nothing. After his hard days
labor he goes to the saloon and in an
hour he has nothing to show for that
labor-nothing but stupidity, or a
drunken fight, or crime committed.
The workinyman who can make no
better showing than this for the eXpen-
diturc Of his days wages is Il fool
yes, worse than fool, for the work
ingman las responsibilities for his
conduct that the fool has not.
The workingman may as well say td
his fellows, Lets work hard every
day for ten years and see how rich We
can make tie saloon keeper on Tho
corner: we will then make him bood
lie alderman 50 that he may become
richer" Yet this is what is done il
many cities IN this country, though Tho
nottingham may not plan it before
hand.
What worse could 4 workingman dc
with his earnings tllan to spend then
for drink? He might better throw
them into the river or bury them in the
ground. for then there would be il(
tyrant ruling over him.
Wages well cared for will return
vast amount of happiness to the work
ingman. Is il better to own 4 home
or to be in the clutches of the saloon
keeper? Is it better to have none,
laid by for rainy day, or to be SUM
in wretchcdncss and poverty?
The saloon receives you in welcome
when you have money and kicks yol
out when it is gone. 1t takes you
man and makes you a beast. 1t con
sumes your energies and tlrives; whit
you depart beggar.
1t is useless to quote the figures o
the nations annual liquor bill; to this

he might elevate himself; he might b
a lender instead of borrower; h
might become an employer, as well a

Above all, he would not be making

II contains no poisonous minerals or
other dangerous drugs, the use Of which

II has been before the public for nearly
forty years, and has constantly grown
in popular favor, both at home and
abroad, until there Is hardly place in the
civilized world where 1t has not host OF

It has been used in, and approved by.
at least 100000 families In the United
States, and 900 900 throughout the world
Women have especial reasons for com
mending it.
1t has proven its potency in curing
obstinate, deeply-seated, and long-stand-

should persevere in the use Of this remedy
until radical cure is effected.
1t Is the only blood-puritier that has Won

WHAT TRUE MERIT WILL DO.

WHAT TRUE MERIT WILL do.
The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup within a few years,
has astonished the world. 1t is with
out doubt the safest and best remedy
ever discovered for the speedy and
cffectual cure of Coughs, Colds and the
sevcrest Lung troubles. 1t acts on an
entirely different principle from the
usual prescriptions given by Physicians,
as it does not dry up Cough and
leave the disease still in the system, but
OH the contrary removes the cause of
the trouble, heals the parts affected and
leaves them in a purely healthy condi-
ton. A bottle kept in the house for
use when the diseases make their APP
pearance, will save doctors bills and a
long spell of serious illness. A trial
will convince you of these facts. 1t is
positively sold by all druggists and
general dealers in the land. Price, IS
cents, large bottles.
