INTO ms life like a kind, gentle friend.
has turned into a terrible tyrant Ii
drives him on with a craving for more
and more. 1t destroys all the better
tastes of his early days; aud, if persist
ed IN. takes away even the natural ap-
petite for food. The slave of drink
turns from everything except the one
thing that is killing him, and the more
he takes of it the sooner he dies
But 1t is not the body alone that
strong drink injuries. Let US think a
little about what it does to the mind.
The fine and wonderful plan by which
the brain Is kept healthy and is made
fit to govern our thoughts and actions
is most difficult thing to understand
But it should ever be kept in remem.
brance that anything that disturbs the
brain disturbs the whole mind also
Strong drink both disturbs the brain
and does mischief to it, and though for
a time the harm may not be noticeable
yet every one, sooner or later, can see
that mischief has been done.
The process is this: First it makes
persons just what they call comfort
able" or Jolly" and when they are
thus pleasantly excited they will talb
little louder than usual, or rather
faster, and boast perhaps; they will in
dulge sometimes in talk that is not
quite true, and now and then Slip out
bad word which they would not have
uttered if their minds had been per-
fectly sober and steady There are
countless little ways by which the
drinker shows the effect of what he
has taken, and those who watch for
these signs can tell them in a moment
They know what the bright eye, and
the red cheek, and the quick tongue
mean. There is mischief going on in
the brain Nothing that people would
perhaps consider to be very bad; the
man is just only not quite himself.
A very good thing will it be for him if,
before he goes any further, he learns
to look on drink in its true light and
resolves to have no more to do with it.
When people go down hill, it is
obvious, every step brings them lower
and lower. Going on with a habit
which is mot quite right, soon brings
them into something which is quite
wrong. The mischief which drink does
to the brain makes only small change
in the mans conduct at first, but soon
it makes vast change. The use of
strong drink as a beverage is bad
habit, and remember.
Ill habits gather by unseen degrees,
AS brooks make rivers, and rivers make seas

The readers of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least one dread
ed disease that science has been able to
cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fraterni-
ty. Catarrh, being a constitutional dis
ease, requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally
and acts directly upon the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation OF the disease, and
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting nature
in doing her work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for testi-

OF lumber for 1899 showed a large de-
crease over the preceding year by rea-
son OF the fact that the building boom
beginning Ia 1890 began 70 subside dur
ing the latter part of 1891. The cargo
trade, however, during iso2 and the

creased, and tho eastern demand for
