young. with which we have to
contend.
If every man who uses liquor
was a dirty, loathesome, brawling,
drunkard, our young men would
need no further argument against
its use; but when they see some of
the most respectable men in the
country taking their "drams" on
many occasions, and seeming none
the worse for it, the young will nat
uraily think they can do the same
with impunity.
Does it never occur to the minds
Of some men that, that which is
onl ly 4 moderate desire within them
selves, may develop into an uncon-
trolable thirst, in their sons; and
while the father may posses strong
enough will power to guard against
drinking to excess, his sons power
OF resistance may be proportionally
weak? If older men would view
the case from this standpoint. they
could see what q dangerous prGce-
dent they are setting in moderate
drinking.
Why, [ have seen well Intention
ed, but unthinking mothers, make
a daily practice of sweetening up a
'toddy" and passing it around in
the family as cure or a preyenta-
tive for all sorts of imaginary all
ments. There could not be more
lnsidious way invented to cultivate
the tastes for drink in children. If
your small boys must have drugs
poured down their little throats
and whiskey is the only cure, give
it to them straight and hot, as it
came from the worm of the still,
and they will be less liable to ac-
quire Il taste for it.
Apropos Of the local option elec-
ton so near at hand: | have in
mind a White-haired minister ofthe
Gospel, who is an ardent advocate
of whiskey, and who is now doing
all IN his power to make ''wet"
votes; notwithstanding the fact Hq-
uor has brought sorrow INTO his
own family, and have seen him
shed tears over this fact. 'Oh! con-
sistency, thou art a jewel" The
local optionists have one great ad-
vantage over the opposition, viz:
They can consistently pray for the
triumph Of their cause.
Do the friends of ''Liberty," as
the ''wets" love to style themselves,
pray after this manner2 40 Lord;
let the free and unrestricted use of
alcohol be perpetuated unto US and
our posterity, for Thou knowest O
Lord, that it has brought honorand
peace into our homes. Under its
bencficent influence our sons have
been inspired to noble and useful
manhood. Our mothers have shed
tears of joy and pride, because of
the great advantage of this liberty
to their husbands and sons. There
fore, in order that this great bless
ing be spared unto us and our chill
dren, for generations to come; do
Thou scatter, confuse and over
throw the Local Optionists, and
bring their evil intents to naught."
This is the only kind of prayer |
can imagine a ''wet' Christian
could put up to sustain his side of
the question.
But | am DEPRESSING, and did not
start out to make a local option
speech.
AS for the use of alcohol for
snake bites &C., modern science has
discovered many antidotes quite as
as alcohol without any
of its evil after effects.

that it was written by some woman who
had suffered dreadful pangs from the
use of intoxicants in her own family.
On the contrary, it has never hurt US or
ours, but we have seen good women
made widows and children orphaned by
its use, and it is very narrow minded
woman or man either who never feels for
the woes of others, and who would not
try to help bring about a condition of
things for the betterment of all.

NEXT Saturday the people of our
county will settle, at the polls, the
question of local option IN their
own way, for the present at least.
While The Press is for local option
because it is for anything that will
elevate the morals of the people
and bring to them and their homes
more happiness, and take from be-
fore our young people, that which,
by observation, we know is any
thing but good for them, we have
tried to be fair with both sides of
the questson by opening our col
umns to a free discussion OF the
same, and that it has been one
sided is no fault of ours.

AN ugly political wrangle is on
in both New Madrid and Scott
counties. That kind business may
do where there is only one party,
or where the parties are as unequal
ly divided as they are in those
counties, but we don't need any of
it here. Just such dIsgraceful affairs
are causing the people to want pri-
mary elections, and unless halt
is called along those lines, delegat-
ed conventions will be thing OF
the past in a very few years.

Headache?

Foul tongue?

These are but a few OF the signs Of
indigestion.
Some others are: Wind IN the stom-

rhea; pale complexion; spots before the
eyes; dizziness; loss of flesh; irritabil-
ity; sleeplessness; nervousness.
All these symptoms will plague and
torment you, and will never perma-
nently leave you, once you suffer from
them; only are sure, in time, to get
worse, If not treated by the best known
scientific method of .cure-Stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets.
These curative tablets are composed
of ingredients which modern knowledge
of the true Inward processes Of diges-
tion approve Of as forming the best,
safest, surest and most scientific COM
bination of medicinal drugs that can
be used to relieve all the conditions Of
ill-health brought on by this much
dreaded disorder.
A disease so "protean" or changeable
in it's manifestations, assuming so
many forms, characterized by so many
different symptoms that, more times
than not, 1t is mistaken for some other
disease altogether, and the poor patient
may die. or at best allow the seeds Of
permanent, chronic sickness to germ
mate and take root in his system.
So it is a real danger we ask you to
avoid when we say: In case Of doubt,
take Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Even if disordered digestion Is not
the real cause of your sickness (Which,
probably, though, it is), yet your di-
gestion is nearly certain to be out of
order, and If allowed to remain so will
seriously complicate your sickness for
you.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, then, will
be sure to do you, good, and will not
interfere with any other medicine you
may be taking.
They will help to make your food
make you strong. and thus, If in no
other way, help you back to health by
helping your system TO throw off dis
ease like a healthy duck shakes water
off it's back.
Shake off your sickness with Stuart's

in. no sense an orator, even in what
might be termed his most inspired
moments. There isano method in his
addresses. Printed verbatim they
would make poor reading. But they
move his hearers as people are never
stirred by the most renowned of pulpit
orators.
He differs from all ,revivalists in the
way he reveals the JOY and happiness
his faith has brought him. He smiles
when he prays;- he gives way to bursts
of laughter when he eXhorts His re-
ligion is full of mirth. Perhaps this may
account in some measure for the Won
drous influence he exercises. For most
of those composing his audiences this
life is hard and sordid, and they must
feel 1t is worth something to obtain
such happiness as he has found. But it
is precisely this feature of his work
over which many Welsh ministers
shake their heads in grave disapproval.
With them religion is a solemn bust
ness, and laughter in church or chapel
appears hardly less a desecration than
an oath. They don't know what to
make of the collier preachers use of it,
But the common people at least have
no such misgiVings. The collier preach
