Champaign, met the party at DanviIle
junction, and cted as the presidents es-

ing here, and it was with difficulty that
the president made his way to the plat

place where the train stopped on the out
skirts of the city. Representative Can

En- route from Dauville there was quite
a crowd at Urbana, and as the train was
held there several minutes for inspection,
the president had an opportunity to shake
hands with most of them. There was a
good crowd at Champaign also. 1t was
nearly O'Clock when the train reached
that station. The larger part of the crowd
was composed OF students from the Uni
versity of Illinois They gave their college
cry several times before the president had
an opportunity to speak

monition and advice and you will, am
sure, thank me for not adding to your
burdens Good night. Cheers
A Stop for the Night.
Between Champaign and Peoria the
presidents train made practically but one
stop, and that was at bloomington. where
several hundred people cheered themselves
hoarse as the president bowed to them
from the rear platform of the train The
president concluded to adopt the sugges-
ton of Mayor Clark, of this city, and stop
at hotel here, and accordingly when the
train arrived he was escorted to the Ma
tional house by the mayor and council,
and retired for the night. He remained
here until a. m. to-day, giving recep-
ton prior to departure, which was a
crush from start to finish.

counterpart i'll the democratic plat

we want to do the work that the
world needs of us, for alcoholic is
brain poison. AS humanity advances
in culture and development, the need
of brain power is greater, and the
choice is between alcohol and the best
brain power, because the more brain
you have the more alcohol will poison
you if You take it.
Noage of which we have any record
in history has taken SO much pains to
| develop brains as ours. 1t has got its
schools, its millions of books, its peri
odicals, lectures, inventions, and no
nation-I can say it truthfully and
without suspicion Of flattery-that
we know of has taken such pains to
develop brains, use them, and glorify
the possession of them as the Ameri,
can nation. And SO, if | say to you
that the Old World played fast and
loose with liquor and is still alive to-
day, do not flatter yourselves that this
nation will be able to do the same
thing and live. You won't be able to
do it. You haye that in you through
| which alcohol will most surely destroy
you if you give it chance. When
some young fellow steps up and says it
is all nonsense about alcohol, and men
tions how many glasses he can take
without it's affecting his head, he has
simply announced that he is deficient
in brain quantity or quality. The
more brain there is in man or woman
and the higher the quality of that
brain, the more deadly havoc will alec
holic liquor play with it.
| And now / want to mention another
| fact. We have London Temperance
Hospital, and the object lesson which
it presents year after year ought to
make scientific men and women think;
and that is that it has the fewest death
rate of any hospital in London. 1t is
the only one where patients are treat
ed without drop of alcoholic liquor;
where accidents, burns, scalds, at
tempted suicides, and illnesses of all
kinds are never treated with alcohol;
where everything is performed that
common sense science and skill can do
to prolong life and soothe pam, but
just not that one superstitious rite of
administering alcohol.--Mrs. LAURA
