the world.

A reporter recently called at this famous
seat of learning and was shown into the room
of the President Prof. Alvin p. Barnaby.
When last seen by the reporter Prof. Barnaby
was in delicate health, and much indispOsed
To-day he was looking well and hearty, and
apparently in the best of health. In response
to an inquiry the professor said
"Oh, yes, am much better, / assure you,
than for some time. You see l had a hard
time of it for several years. l am now in
perfect health, and very much encouraged
and then my recovery was brought about in
rather peculiar way, after all. "
"Tell me about it" said the reporter.
"Well to begin at the beginning" said the
professor, 81 was about as stout lad for my
age as any of the boys. l put in my time
studiously at school, endeavoring to educate
myself for the professions. After completing
the common course | came here, and graduated
from the theological course. | then entered
the ministry, and accepted the charge of O
United Brethren Church at a small place in
Kent County, Mich. Being of an ambitious
nature, was constant student, and applied
myself very diligently to my work and studies
In time l began to notice that my health was
failing, and after awhile it began to interfere
with my duties. My first trouble was indi
gestion of the stomach, and this with other
troubles also brought on nervousness.
"My physician prescribed for me for some
time and advised me to take change of eli
mate, as it was my only remedy. finally
did as he requested and was some improved
Soon after this came here. was professor
in physics and chemistry and later on was
financial agent of this college. The change
seemed to agree with me, and for awhile my
health was better, but my duties were heavy
and again found that my trouble was return
ing. This time it was more severe and in the
winter / became completely Frustrated.

The Remedy.

"How to stop forgeries. That's
easy enough. Make the forgers take
out license. Don't let them forge
on Sunday or after midnight. Make
the forgers get the consent of their
neighbors to commit forgery. Don''
let them forge within two hundred
feet of school house or church
Make the tax high enough to win the
support of the tax paying church peo
pie. Thus, you will make it respec-
table and get part of the winnings
don't you see? But never prohibl
forgery, for, you know, "force is M
remedy."-Er.
Democratic Northwest and Henry County news. [volume] (Napoleon, O. [Ohio]) 1894-1905, 1897-05-06

ton Of license or no-hcense was the
only question that could be voted for,
g house-to-house visitation was plan
ned and every voter was personally
seen, labored with and pledged. There
was no sound of trumpets nor hot de.
nzncistion of liquor sellers, but it won
the day for no sales Of liquor. Find
out what the laws are and associate
every enemy of the saloon together,
be they Wings, Democrats, Populists,
or what not, in municipal, non-parti-
san administration of town or city af-
fairs. In the civil war be who loved
the flag and wanted to fight for it was
not asked his politics. Separate NUM-
cipal control from national politics.
But, lastly, every one has an indi-
vidual influence to WELD on individ-
uals. Children are to be indoctrinat-
ed with an intelligent hatred of this
blight. Society must be maintained
in the position that personal indulg-
ence in drinking is disgrace, and
especially must fallen men and women
