Saturday afternoon was one of
importance. Th re were four diff
ferent meetings held at the same
time in our hall, and one could not
but feel that much good must re-
suit. First numbering over fifty
were the fathers, and, am glad to
say lew sons, most of whom rep
resented wisdom, forethought and
concern for the welfare of our town;
next were the mothers, who by
their prayers, hoped to aid the men
to wise and far reaching decision in
the cause that brought us all to-
gether, and made us one great fam
ly. Third were the daughters, and
Judging by their number, and the
interest manifested "our girls" will
never have it said of them, that
they placed temptation in the way
OF any young man, by Offering him
a social glass of wine.
Fourth and last were the blessed
little children, the Loyal Temper
ance Legion, who with their white
ribbons, were pictures ofpurity and
innocence.
God bless that meeting, for all
were gathered together in the in
terest of making our fair city truly
prohibition town.
1t was unanimously voted in our
last meeting to employ no physician
who prescribes whisky for man
who is not really sick, and the ply
sician is convinced he needed it as a
medicine.
The drug stores" which are only
saloons under a new name, have
very little time in our city-their
days are numbered
How long before the mothers may
feel that their young sons can be on
Broad Street without having the
temptation to go in and get some
thing to drink, constantly offered
them2
The W. G, y. U, continues active
in the work OF soliciting the lcgis-
lature to pass laws for public school
instruction on the physiological
effects of alcohol and narcotics, and
these are certainly among the most
useful temperance laws enacted in
any of the states. The New York
legislature on this subject was
greatly improved during the recent
session of the legislature.
The Mass legislature OF 1894 in
structed the State Bureau of Labor
Statistics to prepare report on
the relation of the liquor traffic to
purity, while the Fifty.third Con
gress authorized the National Com
missioner of Labor to make an in
vestigation relating to the general
economic aspects Of the liquor prob
lem, and to report the results Of
such investigation to Congress.

farmer hearing of the large profits made

resolved 10 make n small fortune in a
hurry, by setting ont a field of them. The
result was. as might have been expected,
a signal failure, Not only that. it was a
direct loss of 81 500. The young man had
not calculated on the amount of cultiva-

had made no preparation for Il. The weeds
took the ground, and the onions were not

Wilson Smith, in Wisconsin Agriculturist:
Evaporation Of fruits on large scale is

shelr fruits for the markets in this way

eyapor lted fruits is one the future Will have

ii not more, money in eyaporatng the
fruits than in selling them green. This Is
