den a change as the result of theiI
reform and they expect that their
particular reform will lift society
| into state OF ecstatical perfection;
neither of these things have ever
come In the wake. of any great re
form which has lifted the world
from one plane of life to higher,
and we can no more expect 1t OF
our reform than have reformers Of
the past. But we know this, that
while we cannot expect that an alb
solutely perfect state of society will
immediately follow the enactment
of prohibitory laws, We claim to-
night what we have claimed for
more than twenty FIVE years, that
the only way by which total alb
stinence shall prevail in the com.
munity and soDriety and temper
ance and good order govern Its lite
IS through the enactment of the
proaibitory law. And we do not
come to this conclusion hastily OF
unthinkingly.
But the w. {. T. u, as the crys
tallized body of the organized tenn
perance women OF these United
States, has never for moment as
sumed that the enactment OF the
prohibitory law would prevent the
sale of intoxicating liquors; what
they have said over and over again
In the past, aud repeat again to-
night Is this: Prohibition does
prohibit. But, you say, where the
prohibitory laws are enacted liquor
Is sold. We said Its sale would be
prohibited Thai Is all we have
said, all we meant by 1t! Prohibi
ton prohibits. I forbid you to
steal, but that doesn't say / have
forbidden your stealing. God said,
Thou shalt not kill" He pro-
hibited killing, but men kill. Was
God fanatical? Was He intolerant?
Was he Pharisee OF unrighteous-
ness because he prohibited, know
ling that his prohibition would
be violated? 1t proves nothing
against law that 1t IS
violated; 1t neither proves that 1t Is
a wise or unwise law. What does
1t prove? 1t proves that men are
Incapable of self government Now
then, If you men. who by a major
ity of your votes, have carried a
constitutional amendment TO the
Liquor law, are not able to enforce
your own law, then 1t IS not for
YOU to discuss whether the law IS
right or wrong, but 1t Is for you to

people arc apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming to be a radical.
permanent cure for dyspepsia and in
digestion. Many such pride themselves
on their acuteness in never being hum
bugged. especially in medicines.
his fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far. so far in fact, that many
people suffer for years with weak diges-
tiOn rather than risk a little time and
money in faithfully testing the claims
made OF a preparation so reliable and
universally used as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Now. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not a secret
patent medicine. No secret is made Of
their ingredients. but analysis shows
them 20 contain the natural digestive
ferments, pure aseptic pepsin. the di-
gestive acids. Golden Seal. bismuth by

neither do they act powerfully on any
organ. but they cure indigestion on the

This is the only secret OF their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach
troubles because they act entirely on the
bowels. whereas the whole trouble Is
really in the stomach.

meals digest the food That is all there
