Barry Pain ON Humor.

A certain Mr.. Barry Pain has been
delivering an address to the Pioneer
club, woman's organization OF
London, upon humor. He kind
ly explains to the ladies whom he
honors by his remarks how it is
that humor is one among a great
many other things in which they
are lacking. It seems hardly apropos
to explain to ones hostesses that
there are limitations to their
charms, but it is possible that ex-
plantations might be given. 1t seems
to be a general practice the world
over to discuss women's failures as
well as their virtues. Undoubtedly
such talks are improving. Possibly
Mr. Barry Pain was asked to speak
upon the subject. A pun might even
be made upon the gentleman's last
name and his tendency to make peo-
pie uncomfortable But puns out
side the covers of Shakespeare are
not in good taste. There is a little
consolation given at the end of the
address. But, said Mr.. Barry, "a
study of the lives of the greatest hui
morists by no means shows that
they were the happiest of men, and
very frequently shows the reverse.

Does Local Option Prohibit

The liquor dealers in Georgia and
their seryile dependents tell you that
prohibition is failure in Georgia
when the records Of the criminal
courts show that in every county
which has adopted it, crime has been
reduced not less than so per cent"
The grand jury in one Superior
court said since the adoption of pro-
hibition, crime had wonderfully de-
creased, the moral atmosphere had
been purified, quite now. prevails
where once scenes of disorder or con-
fusion were supreme. Labor has i'm
proved 100 per cent in Georgia in
prohibition counties, and since these
glorious results business men who
employ large forces are fast becom-
ing prohibitionists, as matter of
business. They were before blind to
the fact that the money spent in sa-
looms belongs to those in legitimate
business, and giving value received
in return for cash.
Before prohibition in La Gange
county, Georgia, we had thirteen bar
rooms. The Ants said it would ruin
the town, but since its adoption
about $4,000 have been permanent
ly invested, new houses going up and
all legitimate business improved and
now everybody is unanimous for pro
hibition. See. this is the great fear
of the brewers, they know people will
continue in the honest way after they
know the way by personal experience.
Experience proves that prohibition
is like mighty wave the farther it
goes the greater its force, so prohibi-
ton helps prohibition. Hence the
use of every means by the liquor
dealers to tear down its work in every
state where it exists, and we rejoice
greatly, that its success has been
such that all business men are in fav-
or of it's universal adoption.

If asked the question 'Have you got
stomach?" it would be safe on general
principles, to answer yes But, if
you are sure of it, that is, if you ever
feel any distress after eating or any
pains of whatever description in the re-
gion of the stomach, you have got some
thing more than an ordinary stomach +;
in other words, you have got diseased
stomach. The stomach is powerful
muscle, and the proper remedy for a
tired muscle is rest. Try the Shaker
Digestive Cordial, for this product not
only contains digested food, which will
nourish the system without any work
on the part of the diseased organs, but
it aids the digestion of other foods as
well. You can test it's value in your
