TEMPERANCE TIDINGs.

NINE drunkards ont Of ten are so to-
day because they did not resolve In
youth TO lead sober life.
THE total amount Of distilled spirits
now in the entire world is estimated to
be sos. 600 600 gallons. including Eu-
rope, Australia. North and South
America.
THE saloon-lteeper, that gives the
proceeds Of one DAVIS sales to help the
poor. deserves all It the same credit as
the highway robber does, who knocks
man down, takes his dollars from
him, then gives him a penny.
TEMPERATE habits and useful ac-
tivitv are the two methods Of keeping
off old age. or. to be accurate, of avoid
ing the mental and physical infrmities
of old age; for there has been no way
discovered of ENJOYING long life" with

record OF crimes and accidents is pub

beverages is now estimated as costing

thousand annually. The increase of
the death rate keeps pace with the in

Twenty Years AGO.

Twenty years ago, pills, potions and the
surgeons knife were the only resource in
the treatment of disease. Science had not
as yet turned her full light onto the prob
lens OF life. She had not shown that
foods are more valuable than drugs. when
things are not running just right in that
complicated piece of mechanism known
as the human body.
To-day, one may almost saw that the
higher the standing of physician in his
profession, the less medicine he EMPLOYS.
He has found that due attention to diet
will accomplish more than the pills and
potions of his forefathers.
Paskola is a step forward in the line of
foods specially designed for the cure of
dyspepsia and other diseases which are
directly traceable to some arrangement of
the digestive organs. Its novelty lies in
the fact that it is artificially digested. In
other words, 1T has been prepared for i'm
mediate absorption without requiring
work OF the poor, tired stomach that needs
rest.
Further than this, it contains principles
which are active in the digestion of osher
foods. Therefore it at once nourishes ana
at the same time relieves the disagreeable
symptoms which are the chronic oyspep-
tics every day lot.

who has used it with success:

piers.
One of the worst forms of crime is
the drugging of liquors by evil-minded
people, who wish thus to take advan-
tage of their unsuspecting victims. The
Enquirer. in its investigation of the
recent death of printer of that city
who was known to have been in the
company of notorious characters in a
drinking saloon. discovers that one of
the devices for drugging victims for
robbery is to engage the intended vic
tim in drinking bout, and to
propose the touching of glasses
before drinking, and while touch
ing them to drop ''penny
pill" which has been held concealed
in the finger, into the strangers glass.
This pill, dissolved in glass Of beer,
is so medicated with morphine as to
speedily induce Inconsistencies, after
which the robbery is easy. Dragging
is resorted to accomplish variety
of evil ends, and drinkers should be
everywhere forewarned as to the dan
ger involved. The wise and safe way
is to abstain altogether from all intox
ieants.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

all other States in the matter Of en-
thusiasm and interest in the workings
Of the encampment. Gen. Merrill is

him and hear him talk.
