The Right Of Christians to Drink AlcO-
hOlic Liquors.

AhOuhOAND, ' 'ch.1 ~ uAO " AOOO-
Mr. Editor:
1t is more than surprising to
see the so-called intelligent direct a
blow at the fundamental principles
of the land-where there is no law
there is no Christianity. What is
law, and for what was it made?
Let us view the picture, and con-
clude: that man, let him be what
soever he may, is frail, naturally,so
from creation, law cannot make him
christian, but it protects him and
also holds him to the obligations
due his fellow man. "Abstainer"

Pure Water, How Obtained.

Spring water may be and often
is very deceptive. Beautiful clear
water may be seen coming out at
the foot of the hill or on the level
land, and if it could be followed up
it might be found to have its source
from some filthy frog pond. All
ponds whether external or slightly
internal are made from impure sur
face water. In Memphis, their ex-
perience on the question of water
has been sad as well as a costly
one. In the last few years that
city has changed from surface or
river water to artisan wells, which
average 400 feet deep. The sup
plies from these wells are carried
in large water mains through a
tunnel, along under ground and
tapped by wells for family or busi-
ness houses. One of these water

State In calling attention to tho
matter Of cleaning up and cleans
ing all filthy places about the =
houses, out-houscs, barns and sts-
bles, as also to the question of pure
water for yourselves and stock y
drink. March and April are the
best months to do this; first b.
cause its before the heat of the sun
has had its effect upon all refuse or
excrete matter. Through the wln--
ter there is always more negligencs
about accumulati0ns than in any
other time of the year. In cleans-
ing stables or other out-building, II
is well to use quantity of Stacked
lime on the points where filthy
matter has been deposited, SO that
the effects of it may be destroyed.
In towns every filthy street or alley
should be cleansed before the hot
weather, for in some places families
make an alley the depository for
dead chickens, pigs, dogs cats,
slops, dishwater, etc. Besides Tho
filth of hogs and cattle. All these
filthy alleys generate disease
