much in need of instructions in regard
to this matter.
The law requires that all grain in
elevators on railroad right of way

A Great Hypnotist.

Hall Caine, the we'll known writer,
in speaking of the drink question,
says: It is dark and difficult prob
lem, but one thing I see clearly,
namely, that drink is the greatest and
most baneful hypnotist on the earth at
present, and that it's influence is more
awful than any plague, more devasting
than any war. Looking back from
more than middle life, l can hardly
remember case of wreck and ruin
that has not been, directly or indi-
rectly, the result of drink. It is ter
rible roli-call my memory goes
through of men of good and even
brilliant opportunities, who are dead,
or worse than dead, at the hands OF
the great hypnotist.
