CREATING APPETITE.
saloon Keepers Interested In Keep
ing Up the supply of
Drinkers.

The Missionary Review of the World
says: 'At recent meeting of the Ohio
Liquor league, one of the officers deliv-
cred an address, from which the fol-
lowing is an extract: The success of
our business is dependent largely upon
the creation of appetite for drink. Men
who drink liquor like others, will die,
and if there is no new appetite created
our counters will be empty, as will
our Golfers. After men have grown and
their habits are formed, they rarely
ever change in this regard. 1t will be
needful, therefore, that missionary
work be done among the boys, and I
make the suggestion, gentlemen, that
niclels expended in treats to the boys
now will return in dollars to your tills
after the appetite is formed. Above all
things, create appetite
This does away with arguments for
the saloon based on the assertion that
the saloon is a necessity, that it is the
poor mans club, that he must have a
place to go that he may get away from
cross wife and crying children. The
saloon is run for revenue only; when
the revenue stops the saloon shuts its
doors. The club feature, the asylum for
prosecuted labor fleeing from cross
wives and crying babies, is not the
reason for keeping the saloon; the man
behind the bar, or the brewer behind
the man behind the bar is in the bust.
ness for the money he can get, not
for the good he can do. Quite aside
from the fact that the wife is crosser
and the baby more fretful after the man
has returned, the man himself being
|, untitled by his evening in the asylum
from acting the part of husband and
father, the great danger from the sa-
loon is simply this, that it creates ap-
petite. 1t does not meet a want, it
makes want. 1t deals in rotted grains
and makes rotten men. The appetite
for good fellowship is natural; the APP
petite for alcohol is artificial, created.
The saloon does not exist to meet the
natural appetite, but to Great the ar
titicial appetite. 1t makes goods and
1T makes market; the goods come
from the fields that bore grain for food,
the market comes from the homes that
are robbed and wronged to make
market. A created appetite does not
stop when created, it destroys the nat
ural appetite for good fellowship and
wrecks the home.
Appetites go in droves, the saloon
caters to the gambling appetite, to the
lust of the flesh, the lust of the eve.
What the church is set to destroy the
saloon is set to create or foster. Think;
the raw material woven into the web of
appetite by your saloon may be the
thread of life spun in your home. The
creator of appetite asks no questions;
it will invest nickels in your boy for
dollars as quickly as in any boy. In
the sight of God one boy is as good
as another; in the sight of the saloon
a boy is simply possible appetite, and
a created appetite is source of in
come. Ought Christian men to per-
petuate an institution whose avowed
purpose is to create appetite; whose
success is at the cost of all that makes
life worth living in a decent commu-
nity?-Rev. o. P. Clifford, D. D., in Chi
cago Standard.

tailor within could scan the mans face
without himself being observed. He no.
ticed that the mans interest in the pla-
card increased, and, by the twitchings
of his face, it was evident that the
words were making a deep impression
on his mind.
One morning the tailor was sur
prised at seeing the man with the jug
again reading the placard, and then
heard him say: "I'll do it! l will l
will" at the same time, raising the jug
high over his head, he dashed it down
on the pavement into thousand pieces.
This drew the tailor to the door, when
he kindly spoke to the man and invited
him into his store, where he encour-
aged him, and, as he was a Christian
man, prayed with him, and ere long the
noted drinker became converted man.
A very silent worker was this placard,
but it was the means, by Gods bless
ing, of stopping the man from further
drinking. Surely we can use to as good
purpose the printed page, as the fore
going instance will show. = National

WOMEN OF THE SOUTH.
Will Honor Winnie Davis by Erect
ing Monument to Her Menu
DRY at Richmond. Va

Without solicitation of any kind, and
solely through voluntary contributions
from those she loved, the memory of
Winnie Davis, ''the Daughter of the Con-
federacy," will be honored by the cree
ton of handsome monument over her
grave in Hollywood. 1t will be the
first tribute of the kind ever paid to
southern woman by the women of
the south.
This movement was started by the
Richmond Chapter of the Daughters of
the Confederacy. At first it seemed a
difficult undertaking. A great monu-
ment to JEFFERSON Davis was s1.sSs,.-
awaiting the raising of funds for its
construction, while a proposed monu-
ment to the women of the south had
been temporarily abandoned. But the
women sent out a circular to confed-
crate organizations, suggesting that
they contribute as they saw fit to this
work of love, and contributions soon
came pouring in.
The Winnie Davis monument commit
tee soon had $1,000 in hand, and de-
signs for a monument to cost that
amount were asked for. Many were

ly hands helped him and he sat content
among the free riders until a small
street below Morris was reached, when
he intimated by grunts and scrambling
that he wanted to get off the dray. He
was assisted to the street, and immedi-
ately made his way to doorstep where
he was at home, as he was soon admit

owned by dermatolCgist, who is max
ing experiments upon him with newly
invented hair tonics. Every few days
piggy appears on the doorstep with
bristles of different color, and it is
said his hairs really begin to curl, ow-
ing to the application of castor oil and
quinine. Recently, having been treated
with peroxide of hydrogen, he has been
of a most beautiful gold color. Piggy
is bathed every day, has his teeth
brushed with listerine, and sits on the

other normal feline managed to pull
through, and now poses as tabby's
whole kitten.
In the meanwhile, the two freaks are
attracting much attention. They are
well made from the middle of the body
forward, and seem to be constructed
on the popular feline model in this par
ticular. But their lower bodies slope
down to q mere tail. This caudal ap-
pendage is muscularly developed to
such a degree that the kittens can
throw themselves forward by simply
twitching it. At first glance it would
seem difficult for them to get about
with any degree of comfort. But they
manage to scuttle around the room with
wonderful facility. When they are in
motion the front feet operate natural
ly and the other half of the body glides
along the floor gracefully, and with a
sort of swinging movement. When an
obstacle is encountered the kangaroo
like appendage comes into play, and
over the kittens go. Visiting cats look
upon them inquisitively, but the
strange pair seem to be contented with
each other. They are a month old,
and very healthy and strong. What
they lack in legs and feet seems to be
made up in intelligence. They invari-
ably retire to their pasteboard box at
eventide, and if the whole kitten is in
the way there is small row.
Museum men are already bidding for
these queer little fellows, and Mrs.
Alexander finds it hard to hold on to
her treasures. She believes that they
came to her cat through special act
of providence, and that it is her duty
to see that they are well cared for.
For some unaccountable reason the
mother of these two freaks regards
them with more tenderness than is
commonly observed among cats. She
finds herself busily occupied, however,
as they are hard to keep track of.

A Delicious Egg Soup.

The following recipe for egg soup
comes well recommended: Put quart
of fresh milk and a teaspoonful of
onion juice over the fire in a double
boiler. Blend together one tablespoon
full of butter and scant tablespoonful
of flour; moisten this with little of the
hot milk before stirring it into the
whole quantity of boiling milk. Sea-
son with salt and pepper. When the
mixture has boiled up once, strain into
a heated tureen over several well-beat-
en- eggs, stirring constantly as you pour
to prevent curdling.
