Advertising Temperance.

The town authorities of Camberwell.
England, are trying a novel method Of
bringing the evils Of intemperance
home to the people, by posting through
out the place placards containing such
arguments as the following:
No one requires alcohol in either food
or tonic.
Alcohol weakens a mans self-con-
troll while exciting his passions; hence
the number of crimes committed under
its influence.
Spirits rapidly produce alcoholism,
but milder drinks, such as beer and
cider, produce, after a time, alcoholic
poisoning with equal certainty.
The sins of alcoholic parents are WIS.,
tied on their children; if the children
survive infancy, they are threatened
with idiocy or epilepsy, and many die
from consumption.
In short, alcoholism is the most terri
BILE enemy to personal health, to family
happiness, and to national prosperity.

Advancing the Farmers Interests.

Travelling agents and statesmen are
now sent from the home Offices Of the
Chicago packers into all South Ameri-
can and Asiatic countries. They are
going into every land. no matter what
language may be spoken or what
money beSnsed. They will exchange
their goods for cowries or elephant
tusks-anything to sell the product
and get something in return c%onverti-
BILE into money. 1t may seem odd to
some folks, but travelling men. carry
ing cases with samples Of American
meat products, can be seen In the
desert of Sahara, the sands Of Zanzl-
bar or in Brazil, "where the nuts come
from" Great is the enterprise Of the
Yankee merchant. The greater the

bllity Of the price Of the product and
all that goes to make it in its various

SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT.
THE VICE OF lNTEMPERANcE:

Who Murdered Arndt :-voters of Great
State and Members OF the Two Great
Parties Indicted For the Grim e-Ter.
rible Arrangement by q Prohibitiontst
Herman Arndt, a farmer, Of Stock
bridge, Wis, while on q business er-
rand, spent the day drinking in a Il.
censed saloon. Attempting to drivt
away, he fell from his wagon, the
wheel crushing his skull so that the
brains oozed from the opening. The
|. wife, when informed, went stark mad.
Six innocent children are left father
less, with an insane mother.
Who murdered Herman Arndt?
The institution for his assassination
was erected by the Democratic and
Republican parties of Wisconsin, who
had the mandate Of the people to do 1t.
The hands Of every Wisconsin voter
who had a part in electing the men
who erected these laws are red with
the blood Of Herman Arndt.r..,,,-
Voters Of Wisconsin: Don't hide
your hands in your pockets.
Don't try. to prove an alibi.
Don't try to lie out Of it.
Don't plead that you were insane.
That saloon is your saloon.
You, the taxpayers, get more of the
net proceeds than does Harrison.
Harrison is merely your agent.
He has your written credentials to
do this.
He has your receipt for part Of
Arndt's money.
You authorized this crime by your
solemn votes, and you have got the
money in your public treasury for 1t.
Now, you guilty wretches, take
some of the money that Harrison
flched from Arndt for you and pay
the expenses Of keeping Arndt's in
sane wife in an asylum and Of educat-
Ing the six children whose father you
slaughtered.

BroadclotE. in Demand.

With the great vogue of ~broadcloth
will come the demand for less ex-
pensive goods which present much the
same appearance. Henrietta and drap
d'ete will. answer exceedingly well for
the construction of costumes and house
gowns, but are hardly likely to be in
demand for tailored suits, since the
material does not have the qualities
essential for the construction of the
plain tailored suit, which will be the
prevailing style for winter.
