serIous QUESTION: for Yoters.

Do we want the saloons? If so, why?
Who OF us want them, and for what?
Is time spent in them which could be
better spent elsewhere?
Is money spent in them which would
do more good spent otherwise?
Is there likely to be gambling in
them?
Is any money worse than wasted in
them?
Do any fathers set bad examples
there for their boys?
Do our boys get good habits there
that will make them good men, or hab-
its that win make them good-for-noth-
ing men?
Are our wives, mothers and sisters
made happier by having loafng and
drinking places to tempt their hus-
bands, sons and brothers to waste
their time and spend their money in
drinking and loafing instead of being
at home with their families?
Is the saloon a good place to edu-
cate the young men, who are to be the
husbands of our daughters?
If no money were spent in saloons,
would there not be more good trade
and less bad debts in business, and
more comfort in homes?
Would anybody be hurt by having
these places shut up? If so, who? And
how would they be hurt?
Would some men be better off today
If they had never been in a saloon?
Would some women and children be
better fed and better clothed.
Would some homes be happier?
Would anybody who is dead be alive
today?
Would saloon keepers themselves
and their families be better, happier
or more useful in some other business?
Do saloon keepers want to do us
good or get our money? Do you like
the dictation Of the saloon in politics?
Is it pleasant to think that some of
ticers whose sworn duty it is TO enforce
the laws relating to the Illegal use and
sale of Intoxicating drinks, protect
saloon keepers?
Let us think of these questions, and
on the first Tuesday in February vote
as we think is RIGHT, not as those
who only want our money wish us to
vote. Advertisement.

for the city, was once a mere physical
wreck. torn in every muscle and nerve
from the frightfuI pains caused by
rheumatism. He consulted the best
physicians, went abroad, took mud
baths, and almost every known treat
ment for the disease. One of the city
officials had had very similar expert
ence and DR.. David kennedy's Fa-
vorite Remedy had cured him, so he
recommended this great kidney medi-
cine to his friend, and Colonel Harvey
is today well man, hale and hearty.
In his own abrupt way he states his
case:
DR.. David Kennedy,
Dear Sir:-This to certify that 1 was
permanently cured of rheumatism by
the use of DR.. David Kennedys Fa-
vorite Remedy.
VIM. J. HARVEY.
Nothing could be more direct or
more to the point than this simple
statement.
Rheumatism is but another name for
uric acid poisoning which is caused
primarily by diseased kidneys. Cure
your kidneys and the rheumatism dis
appears.
For all diseases of the kidneys, liver,
bladder and blood, rheumatism, dys-
pepsia and chronic constipation, as
well as sicknesses peculiar to women,
