TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES.

TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES.
South Africa reports Womans Christian
Temperance Union composed of natives.
The temperance movement in Holland has
warm and influential support from Rev. c.
S. Adams Van Scheltama, of the Reformed
church at Amsterdam.
Postmaster General Wanamaker has estab-
lished an invioable rule that no postoffce
shall be kept in a saloon, or in any room from
which a saloon may be entered
Thaddeus B. Wakeman, of the New York
bar, has decided opinion OH the temperance
question. He says: "There are but two con-
siStent positions on this subject; free trade
in alcohol If it is a food, no trade i'm alcohol
Except as a poison) IL it is poison. Science
has rendered her verdict on the facts; it is a
poison, and the most terrible affiiction of the
human race"
The women of South Carolina have been
holding a temperance convention at Charles
ton, and have asked the State to adopt scien-
titic temperance instruction in public schools,
and the appointment of police matrOns in all
the cities and towns Of the State. They have
decided that they will wait no longer for the
Legislature to act voluntarily, and have be
sieged the Governor with petitions and visits.
California, with its ''pure, light, home
| made wine" idea, has one saloon to every
ninety of its population. This proportion is
exceeded by only two States in the Union

New York Press: "See these young men
from eighteen to twenty-six years of age.
What are they doing? Smoking, drinking,
smoking drinking. What do they talk off
Tobacco, wine, whisky, ballet girls, races, ball
matches, stocks. Do you ever hear them dis
cuss matters of any gravity whatever? Dc
they know anything beyond the flippancies
that float with the current to-day? They are
the very scum upon the water Of life"
The question "Is moderate drinking harm
fulf" is being discussed by the Ancient Order
Of United Workmen. Past Grand Master
Workman James says that one of the lodges
that has cost the order the remarkable sum
Of $50 900 in ten years is composed almost
exclusively of beer drinkers, and that these
men were received into the order with the
understanding that they only drink occasion
ally. Men who acknowledge that they are
moderate but habitual drinkers are debarred
from membership.
Miss Frances f. Willard has gone South,
| where she viii attend the annual conventions
of the Women's Christian Temperance Union
societies and visit the leading Southern cities
She will return 70 Chicago In May.

dreaded disease that science has been able
to cure in all its stages, and that is Ca

disease, requires constitutional treat
ment Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
tcrnally, acting directly upon the blood
