PROHIBITION ANTI-TOxINE.

Velarde, N. M, Dec. %, 1903.
Editor Backbone:
Diphtheria is a terrible disease. I con-
tracted it the other day for the first time
In a very few hours an insidious white
blanket had formed that threatened to
spread until it would Strangle me or
cause heart failure from the accumulated
poison in the system. AS live SO miles
from any reliable doctor, my family ap-
piled various gargles, had me inhale tar
smoke and used various other remedies
but all to no purpose. Something must
be done to kill the poison or my breath
would soon be shut off. A doctor was
sent for. What did he do? Did he try
moral suasion'' or 'fhigh license" or in
any way try to restrict the disease? Not
he. He just turned me on my face and
inserted enough anti-toxine into the back
of my shoulder to kill the whole outfit Of
poison and sporadic growth in my system.
Immediately was on the mend and have
been ever since. Oh, yes, the old poison
made a desperate fight to strangle me,
even after the anti-toxine was admin
istered, and my throat is sore yet, but
I'm gaining and expect to be well again.
prohibition don't prohibit I am told.
Don't it? Try enough good anti-toxine

hibition, and see If it will not prohibit"

THOSE BILLS.

With this issue we enclose bills to sub
scribers whose renewal is due or past
due. Subscriptions are payable in ad-
vance. Bills therefore cover at least a
year in advance Of this date. II any SUBJ
scriber should desire to pay up and stop,
he can easily reckon the amount due at
two cents per month.
Many of our papers are carrying q
heavy load laid upon them by delinquent
subscribers. Some are going under. Our
load could be lifted in any one day If our
subscribers in arrears would simply pay
US what they owe us. We could stand
the expense (for printing and clerk hire)
a sending out statements If each state
ment brought prompt remittance. But
too many allow us to send them bill after
bill-and that costs a lot of money.
1t isn't necessary to write us a letter.
Simply place your remittance in two-cent
We heartily thank those who always
keep their subscriptions paid year or
more in advance. There are many such.
We also thank in advance those who will
now grant our earnest request for a
prompt remittance.

THE HIT OF THE EVENING.

At temperance meeting where
several related their experiences, a
humorous hishman made the hit of
the evening. He had on a pair of
fine new boots. Said he: A week
after I signed the pledge met an old
friend, and he says:
"Them's fine pair of boots you
have on"
''They are" says I, "and by the
same token twas the saloonkeeper
who gave them to me-"
IA THAT was generous Of him." says
he.
1T was" says I, ''but made bar
gain with him. He was to keep his
drink and was to keep my money.
My money bought me these fine boots
got the best of the bargain, and I'm
going to stick to it."

DON'T VOTE WITH THE RED.NOSED
GANG.

(Rev. A. w. Luce)
Christian went up to the polls to vote
On chill November day.
AS he laid aside his great fur coat
l heard him softly say:
Il wonder what I'd better do;
don't like to vote for rum,
But a vote for Snaggs means licensed
drink,
AS sure as kingdom come"
While, as these words to himself he said,
The voice of conscience rang,
Man shall not live alone by bread;
Don't vote with the red-nosed gang.
He'll be elected sure enough,
And politicians say
"A mans most consummate fool
To throw his vote away
''One vote won't win 'gainst the wrong"
But the voice of conscience rang:
Man shall not live alone by bread;
Don't vote with the red-nosed gang.
He obsyed his conscience, and voted
Against wrong and ruin and rum;
And he felt as he came to his cot that
81 have voted for God and home"
L may have thrown my vote away,
But of conscience have no pang;
And while live no one shall say,
He votes with the red-nosed gang"
Durand, Wis.,
AN INTERESTING PROCESSION.

II saw you in the liquor mems pa

"Oh, yes"
''Now, you tell me about it. Who

Those? Why, those were the
wholesalers"
well, who were those fellows in
carriages?"
CHOSE fellows in plug hats, smok-
ing the big, black cigars?"
"Yes."
Those were the distillers and brew
ers.''
"Who were those fellows walking
there with the white plug hats, white
coats and gold-headed canes?"
Those were the retailers"
''Who were those fellows that
brought up the rear?"
Fellows with cauliflower noses
and fringe on their pants-the crowd
Il was with?"
