swamp snto the life of this dreamer
came Margaret Kenneth. and the re-

There was quite scene with IRA

when they fancy themselves In the
right-as they usually do.
THE evening they left Margaret
was missing for some hours. and the
mother wisely refrained from ques-
tioning her when she returned with
out offering any excuse for her alb
sence. She came home still in that
listless. apathetic mood. Months
passed. and when the other man,

so the agony was fought out until
the strong young body triumphed and
she struggled back to the burden that
had been almost laid down.

Mrs. Kenneth fancied that Margaret

presence and was silent, SO I knew
nothing of the mental agony that had
produced the attack. Mrs. Kenneth

This question must be settled right.
The tidal wave of temperance which
has swept out Of existance more than
four, ffths of the saloons in the South

andwill no doubt do as much for us as

Neither will the Gazette oppose true
temperance" What is true temper
ance? I submit the following defini-
ton which is in perfect accord with the
great Law Book ~ Temperance is the
moderate use of what is right ard total
abstinence from what is wrong" The
onlv m oderate use of liqnor is when
prescribed by the physician and taken
as directed. Then. why have public
saloons? Local option law provides for
the right use of liquor.
1T has taken years of labor, business
iud .ment and economy to accumulate
what thew now have" This may be
true but l submit that the maJofl'y oi

men, that every dollar spent lot hquor

$3.50 per dav, or 5000 per year.
There are no less than 10 saloons IN
