Wood alcohol sold as whiskey caused
10 deaths in New York City recently and
as result several saloon keepers have
been arrested. Wood alcohol is unlike
alcohol made from grain. 1t does not
make drunkards. Grain alcohol develops
dipsotted and transforms men into be-
sotted creatures. Wood alcohol trans

sense wood alcohol is a sort of temper
ance drink, that is it stops the drinker
from drinking.

The retail merchants of the State are
combining to enforce the laws relating to
pure food. That they will succeed in en-
forcing them does not admit of doubt.
Their course is both plain and easy.
When they find through the operations of
wares in which they deal are adulterated,
all they need to do is TO refuse to handle
those goods any longer. There are plenty
Of reputable and honest manufacturers
from whom they can buy, and il they re-
pudiate the dishonest ones, those wares
will soon cease to trouble the market. 1t

sure of pure foods within a very short
time. 1t is to the dealers interest to sup
ply them, and the dealers are alive to
their own interests.

Dorrancetown, in Luzerne county, has
been removed by the Presiding Elder
because of the stand he has taken in re-
gard to church suppers. His church Is
$500 in debt and the members proposed
to reduce it by giving fairs and suppers.
At the recent monthly meeting the pastor

tion among his flock. Among other things
he said: at is wrong for the religious
organizations to compete with stores,
restaurants and concert halls to secure
the money necessary to meet its expenses
These should he met by unobtrusive,
cheerful large-hearted giving" A great

to the pulpit at Dorrancetown.
Fearful of the effects of a northern
winter, the relatives of Ira D. Sankey,
the world famous Gospel singer, are pre-.
pairing to take him South, in the hope
that his life may be prolonged. His fam
lily is now in New York city, but he is
somewhere in the country away from tie
throng. In his decline Mr.. Sankey is
still the sweet soul OF the old days when
he was with Moody, bnt the knowledge
that he is blind forever bears hard on
him. He who sang in front of thousands
now shrinks from the presence ofsympa
thetic friends. In seclusion he spends
his days waiting his end. Once in a
