want to give my simple receipt for pota-

one-half teacupful of sugar and as much
salt Keep warm until it rises, then bot

The Truth About 1t.
"The Thing About Wiped Out IN
Kansas.

So long as lies fly about so thick
~, they must be chased into their
dark holes by the Truth. So here
are two bits of reliable testimony
from Kansas:
Rev. D. G. Miner, of Atchison,
in recent letter to the New York
Witness, writes:
"The outlook for prohibition was
never so favorable as to day. There
are fewer open saloons in Kansas
now than ever before, and less lille
gal selling, less drinking and
drunkenness, and greatly in
creased and growing sentiment in
favor of the strict enforcement of
the law. At the late meeting Of
the State Temperance Union, with
large attendance representing
every portion of the State, it was
declared as serious opinion that
not one-tenth az much liquors were
now consumed as before the pas
sage of the amendment"
The New Era prints the follow
ing:
"On the train, New Years day,
we met an old gentleman from In
dependence county, Kansas, and
We asked him how the whisky
business was there.
WELL said he, in our county
we've got the last of 'em shut up.
Their cases havn't come off yet, but
we know the judge, and know what
he will do. He's been putting on
the fine, three hundred dollars for
each offense, and last term of court
he gave them TO understand he did
not want any more fooling, and
next time it would be Jail or moth
ing
"'You are rather of the opinion
that prohibition prohibits in Kan
sa3?
We'll, yes. I've just been down
to Washington City, and there I
learned that prohibition in Kan
sas is a failure, but we don't think
so there. When | moved to indie
pendence county we often saw
nine or ten drunken men Of q day
Now it's rare thing to see a
drunken man. We think we've
about got the thing wiped out in
Kansas, and mean to keep it SO. >

natl, If the Churches Of that city
were to pursue the same course and
be guilty of the same outrages on
the elective franchise, they would
not only be denounced but every
house of worship would be Destroy
ed. But you hear no word Of COZ
domination against the Saloons,
although nearly all those who
procured false registration papers
and repeated in the late election
were Of the saloon schools. Men
who will permit the existance of
such evils should suffer from them,
all the evil they can inhict. A
man is a wicked man as citizen,
who permits the growth Of evil in
the community in which he lives,
thus making it possible for the
degraded and vicious, to control
elections and the administration Of
law. He betrays the good order
and morals OF his own home and
makes it possible for evil to be III

Prohibition IN Georgia.

Within the four years that pro
hibition have been enforced in
Smithville, Georgia, the following
are some of the effects, as recorded
by the Enterprise of that place:
"On trade, we can safely say it has
improved over one hundred per
cent, On substantial i'm prove
ments, the town has been built up,
aud people who resided here four
Year, ago hardly recognize the
place. On sobriety, we can safely
say that not one hundredth part of
the fiery liquid is used here as COM
pared with the old system. The
calaooooe is about to rot down; the
marshal has little or nothing to do.
On morality and religion, our min
isters will tell you that we can
safely challenge any community
in the State. Need we add any
thing to this except to say, the Leg
islature has passed an act to make
cur voluntary prohibition per-
manent one?

OUR DAYTON LETTER.
A Novel Bill, Providing for Legal
Drunkards-C Churches and Stloons
Bod Citizenship, &C., &c.

The address of Senator Sherman
at Columbus has made quite an
Impression On the politicians. The
sShigher power mentioned by the
S enator meansa great deal. A tax
law is not as popular as it was.
Many Christian people douot the
propriety of it. A novel Bill has
been introduced into the L3gisla-
turo with this little, "To prevent
the increase Of drunkards" The
preamble recognizes as fact that
some men will drink and get drunk,
while others will not drink, and
therefore will not get drunk, In
order to give liberty and protec-
lion to the frat class, the Bill pro-
vides that when man who Is Il
years old, has made up his mind to
-oe a drankard, he must go before
she Probate Judge Of the county
and make affidavit that he desires
20 become a drunkard, pay 50 cents
and register his name, age, resi-
.dence, and occupation, and receive
81 certificate that be is q legal
.eirunkard. If a minor desires 10
become drunkard his parents or
guardian, must make affidavit for
aim. Und9r this law, liQuo can be
sold only to the legal drunkards.
's'his measure has the merit of nov
city if nothing more.

WEST VIRGINIA FREEMAN
GOOD CHEER FROM IOWA.
The Twaddle about the Failure
OF Prohibition.
Letter from Rev. D. FL. K. DIR.
DAVIS CITY, Iowa, Jan 25, 'S6


DEAR FREEMAN:-I ordered you
."Stop," when I left West Virginia,
but You would not. Now, | like to
see you out here in Iowa. Well, /
will say few things through you
TO my old friends.
We watch with interest the
Temperance struggle in our State,
and sometimes wish we were there
to take part in the fight. We like
some of your sturdy blows, though
they make US vince a little. Well,
God bless you in your efforts
against the enemy of all righteous
n ss, and the sower of all bad seed.
Hold up the euormities of licensing
some uncomfortable human beings
to SOW the seeds of destruction to
wreck poor weak mortals, who
should be protected and fostered by
the State. Yes, "cry aloud and
spare not" until success crowns the
Temperance cause with victory and
Prohibition for the whole State.
Now, something about Prohibi-
ton in this State. From the ob-
servations | have been able to
make, | am prepared to say that
all the twaddle about the failure Of
the law to prevent selling intoxi-
cants, is an outrage on the truth.
It does as much prohibit as the law
against stealing, or the law against
gam bling, and I am sure much
more than the law against profani-
ty. The fact is clear, that enforce
ment of the law is in favor with
the people, as the election last fall
will show. A bill has been intro
duced into the Legislature of this
Stale to invest the State authorl-
ties with every law necessary to
the full execution of the laws
against the sale Of intoxicants
throughout this Stale. One feels
delighted, in passing to ana fro, to
not fad a saloon nuisance any
where. My convictions are, that
Temperance, in the form of Prohi-
bition, is growing stronger in the
minds of the people of this State.
As to our new home in the west,
| will say, SO tar, we are pleased.
We have been we'll received and
treated very kindly. This part of
the State, (southwestern), is not
altogether level. 1t is undulating;
some nice prairies, and some
bru8hy, bluffY land. The prairies
are very productive, but the bluffy
land is not so productive or SO de-
sirable. This section of the State
is adapted to grass. On the prairies
the blue grass is taking rapidly,
Some day this part of Iowa will be
noted for grazing. The people, as
D rule, are pushing and active, and
prosperity attends their efforts.
Well, FREEMAN, you are welcome
10 our home and we say, come on.
Yours truly,
n RI K Dry
