The Man or Men

T Who can drink the quantity of drug store whiskey in che day that those New Haven detectives did, and re- member all their doings that day, must be heteroclitical tiibbertergib- bet. But the people who are foolish enough to drink the tea and coffee which some people are guilty of selling knocks the spotters sky high. We can't understand why sensible people will pay good money for poor tea and coffee, when they can just as easy come to our store, and get the good kind for the same price they pay for the poor quality elsewhere. Well. the liquor spies are through with tReir sensational work and the excitement has all blown over; now, since such is the case, we hope and trust they have shown hundreds, yes thousands of people, that it's all folly to drink in- toNicating drink every time you re thirsty. It's all nonsense to have such ideas. Just try some good, clean. nice tasting tea or coffee when you are thirsty next time and see how much happier and contented you will feel Remember. one pound of our Tea will make 3I5 cups of q delicious beverage Figure it out and see how much per cup it costs you. 90 cents per pound and bars of best soap with each pound Say. who would see their child without sled in winter. when you can purchase q good one for Fl cents at

defiance at him as leader and

Two Women Arrested in Baltimore
ON Anthony ComstoeIz,s Complaint.


BALTIMORE. Nd. Jan Il-Anthony
Comstock, the agent of the New York So
ciety for the Suppression Of Vice, made
flying visit to Baltimore yesterday. and
procured the arrest Of Dr.. Anna Gferlag
and her daughter-in-iaw. Mrs Mamie
Giering on the charge Of using the mails
for unlawful purposes. Mrs. Giering's
daughter-inIaw IS the wife Of Dr.. Robert
X Giering- She IS designated in the war
rant as Jane Dor. alias Or, Mary" The
TWO women were held in g, soc bail each
by Commissioner Rogers for hearing at
noon next Thursday.
Mr.. Comstock swore out the warrants
for the arrest OF the two women. The
charge IN each case is knowingly depos-
iting for mailing OF delivery in Baltimore

tended for the procuring of criminal

The case was worked up b. Mr.. Com
stock from his residence at AsLary Park.

from Washington He was here only a
short time and hurried from the Mar
shaTs Office TO catch a train for New
York.
Mr.. Comstock is not enthusiastic over
the possibilities of results TO come from
the present anti-yIce crusade il New

for social purity are good in a general
way, but practical results can only be ac-
