Important Considerations.
By Skowhegsn W. G. T. u

One of Bishop Potter's statements in
his recent denunciation of prohibition
was that "by actual statistics the con-
sumption OF certain preparations contain
ing from II to 81 per cent of alcohol,
while clsret contains only 10 per cent, Is
larger In Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont than anywhere else in the
country, and great multitudes of people
who are sworn prohibitionists are the
consumers" This statement was shown
to Senator Frye, who said: 81 never
heard OF the statistics referred to by
Bishop Potter, nor do | believe they ex-
ist." Gov. Hills secretary, when the
Governors attention was called to the
statement, wrote: "rhe statement of
Bishop Potter Is false. No one here Is
aware of such actual statistics as the
Bishop refers to-" The Bishop, we be-
lieve, belongs to Committee OF Fifty,
or something of the kind, which for sew
eral years has been conducting an inves-
tigation Of it's own in opposition to pro-
hibition. 1t is possible that the bishop In
this way has seen some statistics which
he calls "actual statistics" but he has

slant reader of the DAYTON Volkszeitung.
He knows that his paper aims to adver-

when he saw Chamberlain Pain Balm
advertised therein for lame back, he did
not hesitate in buying a bottle for his
wife, who for eight weeks had suffered
with the most terrible pains in her back
and could get no relief. He says :
"After using the Pain Balm for few
days my wife said to me, I feel as though
born anew and before using the entire
contents of the bottle the unbearable
pains had entirely vanished and she
again took up her household duties. !"
