Labor with a will
Indolence-eschew it.
Make your life useful one,
Go to work and do It'll

DIR. Chalmers, after listening to an
eloquent address upon the evils of in
temperance, is said to have exclaimed,
"Sir, we know the evils well enough; in
Gods name give us the remedy" For
years we have been working for the
remedy to answer this wall, which comes
from thousands of hearts and homes.
Of all the remedies yet given none is
more practical than the use of the public
school, where the children of all classes
and nationalities are instructed in the
physical effects of strong drink. Proven
ton through education. In the public
school are found the children of the ma
ton; the only place where the children
of foreigners can be reached. These
children should be taught just as thor
oughly the nature and effects of alcohol
upon the bodies as they now are spelling,
geography or history. No teacher should
be granted certificate to teach in the
schools who has not passed a satisfactory
examination in physiology and hygiene,
with reference to the effects of alcoholic
drinks, stimulants and narcotics upon
the human system.
DIR. Holland once said: ''The more
thoroughly we can instruct the young
concerning this dominating evil of our
time the better it will be for them and
the world. The women of our land are
wise and practical teachers of childhood
and youth. They have secured for our
young the best idea of Germany's most
excellent teachers, instruction in regard
to the effects of alcoholic and narcotic
stimulant, in our schools.
Next week we expect to see our teach
ers in council in our city. We hope that
parents and all interested in the welfare
and improvement of the rising genera
ton will make it a point to attend the
sessions of the institute, and SO encour-
age those who have charge of the most
precious material we have in our homes.
Miss Willard says 'Do not let it be said
that our schools are Goddess while they
teach health, which, is physical holi-
ness" This teaching ismade obligatory
in thirty-four states and in all of the ter
ritories.
Liquor dealers and anti-prohibitionists
who are constantly harping on the
blighting effects of prohibition upon the
prosperity of city will not be able to
draw much comfort from the experience
of Des Moines, 10. Des Moines is city
of sixty thousand people and has not an
open saloon within it's limits nor within
the county in which it is situated, and
yet it is just now enjoying an era of the
most remarkable prosperity. Such a
thing as house or store room to rent
Gun scarcely be found at any price, while
more than a thousand new residences
and more than million dollars worth of
new business blocks, some of them the
| finest in the west, are in process of erec-
tion. Bank clearances run from twenty
five to fifty per cent higher than a year
ago; its manufactured products for 1890
exceeded those of 1889 by more than
| So 100000. Every kind of business is
extremely prosperous, and the actual
statistics of the transfer companies show
that the population is increasing, by new
arrivals alone, at the rate of thousand
per month. A good many other cities
would like to be killed in the same way
| that prohibition has killed Des Moines.
The recent yearly meeting of New
York Friends passed these ringing reso-
lutions "As there is law in New York
state with penalty, protecting our chill
dren against the use and influence of
narcotics, we feel the importance of en-
deavoring to have this law maintained,
and to extend our efforts in educating
our members in regard to the injurious
effects of narcotics, both physically and
morally. Realizing the terrible curse oi
the liquor traffic, we again indorse the
position of the yearly meeting of last
year, as unalterably opposed to license
in any form, and we believe that abso-
lutte prohibition is the only way to deal
with this gigantic evil. Whilst we CRATE
fully acknowledge the decieion of the
supreme court in the original package
law, we desire to express our sorrow al
ment in its efforts to extend the interests
of the brewers in foreign lands"
Archdeacon Farrar in his address al
the recent Band of Hope anniversary in
London, urged the temperance workers
to be of good cheer, for theirs was the
most Christlike work undertaken il
these days. The best patriots were
those who did most to defeat the power
full Vaccinations of the enemies of theil
