There is a great deal Of drunk
enness and carousine in town that

Drunkenness destroys more people
than war, famine and pestilence

people die every day from intem-
perance, and yet why is il that
good men and some that profess
religion will drink the damnable
stuff?

II. w. WILEY, chemist Of the u
S. Agricultural Department, tells
the U. S. Senate Pure Food Inves.
tigating Committee that 80 out OF
100 articles Of food and drink are
commonly adulterated. His infor-
nation is not new to many individ-
uals who have made observations
along that line. The great incent-
I've to such sophistication comes
from the peoples propensity to be
imposed upon by the INSCRIPTIONS
manufacturer or dealer, whose de-
sire for gainful trade is paramount,
and who besitates at no trick of the
trade to secure the custom of his
honest competitor. Barnum's re-
mark that the people like to be
humbugged has an application d
much wider than in the showmanS
domain as to be almost q universal
truism. The bunko Spectator on
a capital Of nerve alone can in a
small way make far reader head
way than the most meritorious eng
terprise backed by the purest INF
tegrity. The street fakir or any sort
Of mountebank everywhere finds
the people and their money are
easily parted by worthless In
ducements. whereas the success of
the average honest person under
similar circumstances but with ar
ticles of genuine worth for their
price is modest at best.
