Heroic Work Of a Girl in Saving
Her Brother from Drunkenness.
Put Remedy in His Coffee and
Without His knowledge Of the
Secret was Completely Cured.

The terrible evil of drunkenness has at
last found a conqueror. Miss Mary Rob
erts, of 1898 Golden Gate Avenue, San
Francisco, Cal, tells how she saved her
brother from ruin, and her words burn with
a new hope to every woman who would
rescue a son, brother or husband from the
scOurge of drunkenness. She says:
Yes. it is true that my brother is now
a reformed man. For years he drank only
occasionally, but at last he got so bad that
to be sober seemed a living death to him.
After a spree he would tremble and shake
and act as if he were going insane. He
would then drink sparingly, but in a few
days would start of again. and l wouldn't t
see him for a week. l saw q notice in

a thickness as TO oblterate the grain.
The same thing may happen 10 a man.
People who honestly tell us of our faults
may mean well, but they never run ahead
of their tickets. at the polls.
The man who prides himself upon his
good looks never acquires the student s
stooo.
Hard, steady, determined hammering is
a good thing. but the greatest battles Of
life are won by strategy.
The philanthropist who gives to the poor
only that he may lay up treasures for
himself in heaven. will be surprised If he
ever gets there, to see how little credit
he got for it, The charity is love for
your fellow man.
