Probably no one in the theatrical pro-
fession has been more successful, has
made more friends, or is any better
known than Hi Henry. From one end of
the United States to the otherh he is called
the millionaire minstrel king. Mr. Henry
is wise in a great many things, one OF
which is the k eping of his health. Loss
of sleep, Irregular meals, all kinds of
weather, and the mental anxiety neces-
sary to successfully pilot his large and
expensive company, last year almost cost
Mir. Henry his health. He did not linger
one moment in determining what to do.
He took "Blood Wine'' and it completely
drove out of his system the tendencies
to sickness and disease. These are Mr.
Henry's own words:
81 have been asked so many times lately the
cause of my good health and general improved

window dressing that took famously.
Her reputation for straight dealing and
enterprise won her many friends. About
four years ago she designed calendar
for the Christmas trade and personally
started out ION the road to sell it.
Just two years ago Miss Clark
quite accidentally went into the pub
fishing business, and she has already
five great book successes to her credit.
1t was through her husband, u lifetime
friend of Charles FELTON, Ildgin that
the attention of Miss Clark was
called to the authors story, which he
proposed to call Quincy Adams Saw
YER" As matter OF curiosity she ac
companied her husband to hear the
reading of it, While Mr.. Atkinson was
looking at the story with a view to It's
qualities for stage reproduction, Miss
Clark" became enthusiastic over It's
value in novel form. Its fresh country
atmosphere and its wealth OF familiar
country characters carried her NINA
back to the old home days at Unity.
She came away convinced that 1t would
be wise move to publish the book.
After deciding to undertake the work,
she declared that she would advertise IT

different from the routine methods
adopted by other publishers, and un-
kind remarks were heard about adver-
tising book On the billboards just as
one would advertise shoes or soap. But
her methods won, and the best evidence
that she was right is found in her many
imitators in the publishing business to-
day.
'sMiss Clark" proceeded to repeat it
with other books, among her successful
publications being Blennerhassett," "
"Hester Blair ''Miss Petticoats,
"The Climax" and Tito" while one to
appear shortly is ''On Statan's Mount"
The most conspicuous success Of the
past year has been Miss Petticoats, .
which was advertised as written by
the mysterious Dwight Tilton." 1t had
a sale of $4,000 copies.
1t is quite possible that Miss Clark
nherits her ambitious spirit, and the
faculty of accomplishing whatever she
undertakes, from her great grand
fathers. She had five III the Revolu
tionary War. The remarkable success
achieved by Miss Clark surrounds
her methods with exceptional interest
from an advertising standpoint.

The END OF PROHIBITION

1t will be seen that the Prohibition
movement made little progress after it's
first burst of activity, and the vote in
Vermont indicates that its end is ap-
preaching, 50 far as concerns its effect
on State legislation. 1t has been killed
by the successful application Of the
policy of local option and high license.
The experiment of high license began
with the so-called Slocumb law in Ne
blaska in 1881, fixing $1,000 as the maxi
mum and $500 as the minimum license
fee: but the results of the operation of
the Raines law, passed in New York in
1896 and signed by Governor Morton
in spite OF many miSglvlngs in his party
may be said to have given the greatest
impetus to the high license movement
which it has yet received. That law
having proved to be a rich revenue-prO-
ducing measure, and having at the same
time diminished the number of saloons,
it is probable that it will remain in New
York. so far as its principle Is concerned,
whatever may be the political changes
in the State Since It's enactment the
temperance agitation has ceased to
disturb politics. as it had done before.
The Prohibition vote in the State has
fallen off actually and, relatively to the
increase of the population, very decid-
edly. For example, the Prohibition
votes for Governor, which in 1891 had
been over 80, 600, ont OF a total of about
LOO. 900, fell in 1902 to about 20,000 out
of more than 300, 900 The distraction
of temperance agitation is no longer
feared by the Republican party.
Vermont after fifty years trial of
Prohibition now goes over to the same
general policy; and the period of the
Maine law experiment may be said to
be over, though in Maine, its principle
having now been grounded in the State
Constitution, its overthrow is likely to
be a hard task. Meantime greater
temperance in the use of intOxicants is
extending among all reasonable men.
The dangers of such stimulation are
recognized the more as intelligence
spreads and increases. Intemperance
is dreaded as a lamentable disease.
Habits of intoxication, once indulgently
regarded by society, are now reprobat-
ed as Indecent or lamented as evidences
of deplorable physical disorder. The
consumption of alcohol at dinners has
diminished greatly, and modern bust
ness exacts a concentration of industry
incompatible with excessive drinking.
But legal prohibition has proved in
practical operatiOn an unavaillng rem
edy for the evil it set out so confidently
to cure and remove finally from society.
