not talking idly, but merely state what

which has tried prohibition for peri
cd of years.
The blind-pig question is one which
will be solved by any community that
has enough gumption to back up it's
votes with action. It is to be presumed
that the saloons would not be voted
out unless the auti-saloon people we're
in the majority, and we are not ready
to admit that a sentiment that. can le-

Washington Asylum Hospital, where he
presented himself for treatment. 1t was
seen at once that he was suffering from a
well developed case of SMALLPOX, and he
was hurriediy sent to the isolating hos

The health authorities were considerably
exercised over this case, having prided
themselves that they had succeeded in
stamping out the disease OF course there
is no way OF determining how many peo-
pie cambridge came in contact with but

cause of increasing the smallpox roll to a
considerable extent. cambridge has son

100000, who are peaceful, contented,
and prosperous. The Dutch have held
1t since 1915, and govern it by means OF

navy. He is assisted by the Council Of
the Indies, consisting of five members APP
