The Liquor Leech.

Some people favor licensing the
traffic for the money it brings in.
But every dollar the rum seller pays
costs the people 500 in waste, dam
age, poverty, sickness and crime.
The late John B. Finch, in one of
his addresses, illuminated the sub
ject with the following illustration:
Take a leech; press all the blood
out CT it. Now | will show you a
trick of license economy. take a
lancet, draw scratch on my arm
and say to the 1eech Suck 1t does.
Just look at il. 1t is growing re-
specialized is getting sleek, and
smooth, and fat. When it is full
it will let go. There is this differ
ence between 1eeches and human
1eeches; a worm 1eech ceases suck
ing when he is full, while human
leech will continue to suck as long
as there is any money in the pockets
of the victims or until he is choked
off.
Il want to show you the states
manship of license advocates.
81 take the 1eech and squeeze it;
two or three drops of blood come
from its mouth and l swallow them
and / say that l have gained SO
much blood. Some boy in this
house cries out: You are foolish.
Every drop of that blood was in
your body-the leech sucked it out
of you. You have only got part of
it back, and that in way that will
do you more injury than good
Liquor men come into your state
and the law draws a scratch
on your business life and sticks
them on, and says:s Suck See
them change their clothes! See
them grow fat as they live on the
business life of the city and coun-
try! When the year rolls around,
the city council inverts them, and
squeezes out of them $500, 81 900 or
$500, and says: Ha, ha, we have
saved SO much money to the city,
But where did the liquor dealer get
the money? He did not have it
when he came here. He came into
our state and, without giving a sin
gle thing of value-without building
up society, without helping society
he has sucked from it thousands
of dollars. He keeps the largest
part, and gives you a pittance to be
allowed to continue. You take it,
and congratulate yourselves that
you are dividing up with the spoiler
of your homes, your prosperity, and
your civilization.

Chronic Bronchitis Cured

"For ten years I had chronic
bronchitis so bad that at times |
could not speak, above whisper, I"
writes Mr.. Joseph Coffman, of
Montmorenci, Ind. II tried all rem
edies available, but with no success.
Fortunately my employer suggest
ed that try Foley's Honey and Tar.
It's effect was almost miraculous,
and am now cured of the disease. On
my recommendation many people
have used Foley's Honey and Tar,
and always with satisfaction.

Swallowing a Farm.

This paragraph has been floating
around in the papers. We do not
know who wrote it, but it contains
much for young men to think about:
My homeless friend with the chro-
matte nose, while you are stirring
up the sugar in a ten-cent glass of
gin, let me give you a fact TO wash
down with it. You may say you
have longed for years for the free,
independent life of a farmer, but
you have never been able to get
enough money to buy farm. But
there is where you are mistaken.
For some years you have been
drinking a good improved farm at
the rate of one hundred square feet
at a gulp. If you doubt this state
ment figure it out for yourself. An
acre of land contains 1850 feet.
Estimating, for convenience, the
land at $43.56 an acre you will see
that it brings the land to just one
mill per square foot. Now pour
down the frey dose and imagine
you are swallowing a strawberry
patch. Call in five of your friends
and have them help gulp down that
five-hundred foot garden. Get on a
prolonged spree some day and see
how long it will take to swallow
pasture land to feed a COW. Put
down that glass of gin; there is dirt
in it-three hundred feet of good
rich dirt, worth $43.56 per acre"

This is the season of the year
when the small boy who is set to
work is accused of wanting to try
to do something that he can't
do. And that is to his credit. The
boy that wants to do something
that he can't is the boy that can
and will if he has a chance. En-
courage him to persist in trying
to do any work he wishes to do.
BY trying the boy can do anything
the father can do, if he wants to,
THE boy is father of the man." il
he wants to be and tries to be. TIC
repress his ambition is to repress
his energy. A nerveless kid is a
nonentity.

Better Than Pills.

The question has been asked, In
what way are Chamberlain's Stom-
ach & Liver Tablets superior to
pills?" Our answer is: They are
easier and more pleasant to take,
more mild and gentle in effect and
more reliable as they can always be
depended upon. Then they cleanse
and invigorate the stomach and
bowels in natural condition, while
pills are more harsh in effect and
their use is often followed by con
stipation. For sale by R. S. Free.

Profit in Cows.

The Dunn County News printed
in recent issue table containing
the actual result of each herd, for
one year, in total of 81 creamery
patrons in Dunn County. These So
farmers kept from 7 to 26 cows
each-647 in the aggregate. In the
table is given the cost of feed per
COW of each herd, the amount of
butter made from the milk of each
herd and the average, the price
received for the butter and the profit
of each herd and each COW. An in
spection of this table is instructive.
From these 647 cows IL, 532 pounds
of butter were made, an average of
222 pounds to each COW. The high
est average produced by any herd
was 304 and the lowest 165. The
average price of butter received by
the patrons was 18 cents a pound.
The average amount received per
COW from all the herds was $40.
The highest received per COW from
any herd was $54.72. The average
cost of keeping a COW was SIS, but
it was not stated whether this was
the actual amount paid out for feed
or whether that furnished by the
farm was included. 1t is deduced
from this table that some farmers
made a good profit on their cows.
Several farmers made over $25
from each cow-above all the ex-
penses for feed. One, the highest
average of the cows of any herd,
made $26.74. Some made but little;
one $3.77 a COW, another but SLY,
while one reported a loss of AZ cents
per COW.

Pneumonia is taking off many
victims this spring through the

prevail to a greater extent through
this region in the spring than
during the steady cold weather of
winter. Pneumonia is preventable
disease. 1t behooves every one to
be especially careful of exposure to

follows: "Our two children had a
severe attack of whooping cough,
one of them in the paroxysm of
coughing would often faint and
bleed at the nose. We tried every
thing we heard of without getting
relief. We then called in our family
doctor who prescribed Foley's Hon

they began to improve and we feel
that it has saved their lives. Refuse

Akin to Dreibund.

Berlin Feb 13.-The National Zeit-
ung, referring to the new dual alliance,
says The Anglo Japanese alliance
bears a great resemblance to the triple
alliance. If the United States has
Joined Japan and Great Britain in re-
sisting the signing of the Manchurian
treaty 1t must be inferred the United
States regards the new treaty sympa-
thetically.
The Vossische Zeitung infers that the
treaty will trnd toward the mainte-
nance of oriental tranquility, while the
Neueste Nachrichten sees in 1T far
greater practical advantage for Great
Britain than for Japan.
Paris, Feb 1S.-The view taken in
diplomatic circles here Is that the An
Japanese alliance is no wise j dis
quieting element. The agreement, 1t is
claimed here, excludes Manchuria. and
Russia. therefore. is not menaced there
by. one of the first results of the alli-
ance will probably be new Japanese
loan, as Japan needs money.
The Temps says The new alliance
seems to indicate that the British gov
ernment intends inaugurating a new
policy in the far east
The Journal des Debats remarks;
ENGLAND gets the best of the bargain.
She merely assumes theoretical obli-
cations toward Japan. whereas the lat
ter's obligations toward England take
a much more practical character

ant result will be to give England
greater freedom in the remainder of the
