We are asked whether or not Mr..
Haugen is to be candidate for re-
election to congress. We had suppos-
ed so as a matter of course. 1t would
seem to us very uncalled for to discon-
tinue his services. From all quarters
we hear nothing but high compliment
of him. At the present time when so
much is expected of a member in way
of rendering personal assistance to the
veterans of the war in the matter of
pensions his experience, industry, ca
pability of work, courtesy and inde-
fatigable devotion to their interests
as well as To the interests OF all who
chance to have business matters with
the departments at Washington, make
him we think almost a necessity. Ger
tainly the district has never had his
equal in successful work. In his more
public duties he does himself equal
credit. He is never absent from his
post; is acknowledged by all to be an
attentive, intelligent. level-headed
member. When occasion calls for it
he acquits himself with honor to him
self and his constituency on the floor.
he is absolutely incorruptible, always
direct in his methods. His private
life is irreproachable. He should and
will be reelected.

A Hint to Mothers.

Miss Willard says: begin to teach
temperance in the lullaby song and the
twilight evening story" The Penn
sylvania Bulletin contains the follow
ing suggestion in furtherance of this
idea: A telegram comes into the
house. Children win ask numberless
questions about it. Mothers, it pays
to stop and take time to answer all
these countless little inquiries. Don't
finish your story until you have told of
the wonderful telegraph system which
extends over our bodies. Tell of the
fine network of nerves upon which
messages are constantly being carried
to and from the brain, the central
office. They must be kept soft, like
an egg, in order to keep the telegraph
apparatus in working order. Alcohol
sucks the moisture from these delicate
nerve cells and then they do not work
perfectly, and the drinker thinks he
feels better, when the truth is he only
feels less.
Mother and child are walking the
street, and notice a sign over a store.
What was it placed there for! To
show what 1t contained within. God
has made man so that he cannot help
hang out his sign and show to all what
he keeps within. A dishonest PEI son
will seldom look you square in the face;
he cannot laugh full and round and
| open, like the true hearted, honest man.
There are those who read character in
everything, but the tobacco user and
the drunkard hang out sign so plain
that all who see may read.

The territory in the United States
adapted to the growth of barley is
quite small when compared with the
whole. The people of North Dakota
have just discovered that the lands of
that new state can grow the best bar
ley in the world. But North Dakota
is a prohibition state, and to grow
barley there may become great moral
question. The question might be for.
mulated as follows: Which is the
greater sin, to manufacture and drink
beer, or to furnish the principal ma
terial from which it is made! The
reader will settle the question to his
own liking. 1t is beyond our ken.

The Deadly Alcohol

A long report has been read before
the British Medical Temperance asso.
citation by DR.. John MOir, on the use
and effects of alcohol in hospital treat
ment. 1t appears that between the
years 1853 and 1888 a general and
marked decrease has taken place in
the employment of spirituous stimu-
lants for patients. Measured by cost
per bed the reduction has been from
80 to so per cent. while the expendi-
ture for milk has been augmented by
leaps and bounds. Out of 70 hospitals
and infrmaries only show any in
creased outlay upon alcohol. 1t is
stated that in one OF the London insti-
tutions which still maintains its guam
tity of alcohol, "a per cent. of the
typhoid fever patients die, whereas in
Glasgow fever hospital, where milk is
used, the mortality is only about II
per cent.

Intemperance and Mortality.

an article on "The Negro and Temper

BILE per cent. of the mortality among

BILE directly and indirectly to the in
creasing drink habit, and that con-
sumption, disease hardly known
among the blacks before the war, is

the one hand to reckless and unneees-

"Keep TO your sphere" said the liquor men,
AT home is a woman's place
Take care Of your children, cook and sew,
And cherish your womanly grace.
These forward women who war on us
Disgrace themselves and their sex:
Plunging in filthy politics,
The peace of the lana they vex."
So, gentle mother, sit still at home,
And Groom to your baby boy,
While a monster turks in the street without
Waiting his chance 10 destroy
Soon as the little feet can pass
Out of the garden gate,
He'll be fair prey; but sit you still,
Sing him to sleep. IT'S fate.
Love and cherish your winsome girl,
Train up the fair, sweet life
TO every pure and gentle charm
Betting the drunkard's wife.
Make her so fair and sweet and wise
She win win some careless love-
So pure that drunkard's stab or shot
VIII only send her above.
What dropping your song and starting out
With eyes and heart afre,
And striving. witt your soft white hands,
To throttle the monster dire?
Why not2 The hare for her young will fight;
The tiny bird grow wild
Defending her nest; aud dare you think
A woman cares less for her child?
Yes, home is a woman's truest sphere,
Its spoiler her deadliest foe;
Ifa viper coil by your sleeping child,
Is the gentlest too mild for a blow?
Because you are womanly, tender and true,
And your home is your chosen sphere,
Fight, fight as for life Ii you shirk or fail
You may lose all life holds dear.

Persons having old postage stamps
sometimes think they are rendered
worthless by the issue of new ones.
This is not so. The only obsolete stamps
are those of the issues of 1917 and 1851.
very few of which are now in exist
ence in the north, and these are gener-
ally worth more than their face value
for collectors. The issue of 1861, 1859
and 1870 are as good in the payment
of postage as the new issues. The
reason the issues of lS47 and 1851
are not accepted is because large
amounts of these were outstanding in
the south at the time of the rebellion,
and the present holders of them prob
ably secured them without rendering
an equivalent to Uncle Sam.
