Wanted!
BOYS T! BOYS BOYS
FOR THE SALOON!


Dealers OF Ohio, at Wirthwein's Hall,
Columbus, o., one of the delegates, in
the course of II speech on How
to Build up the Saloon Business, "
gave the following suggestion: He
said:
"The success of our business is de-
pendent largely upon the CREATION
OF APPETITE FOR DRINK. Men who
drink liquor, like others, will die, and
ii there is no new appetite created
our counters will be empty us we'll as
our Golfers. Our children will GO
hungry, or we must change our bus
mess to that of some other more re-
munerative. The open field for
the creation of appetite is AMONG
THE BOYS. After men have glOwn
and their habits are formed they
rarely ever change in this regard.
1t will be needful, therefore, that
MISSIONARY WORK BE DONE AMONG
THE BOYS, and | make the Suggcs-
ton, gentlemen, that nickels eXpend-
ed in treats to the boys will return
in dollars to your tills after THE APP
PETITE HAS BEEN FORMED. ABOVE
ALL THINGS CREATE APPETITE"
1.-THE above was given to the Anti
Saloon League by II gentleman who
was present at the meeting and made
exact notes of what was said at the
time. This gentleman is personally
known to the officers of the Leagu",
and Mrs. Ingalls, has u letter from
him vOuching for the truth of the
above statement.
The Woman's Christian Tempe
rance Union invites all women who
are opposed to the sentiments eX-
pressed above TO become members of
an auxiliary to the Citizens Tenn
perance League. 1t is true that
after their habits are formed they
rarely ever change their minds
and we heartily pity the drink-en-
shaved. 1t is also true that the vOt-
ers have opened 1.-The field for the
creation of appetite among the boys"
1t may be that Your boy, or my boy
has not yet been tempted, but some
other mothers boy has been tempt
ed and this appetite is being created
in him. Do not our hearts ache for
her? Can we hope to escape retri-
butive justice if we fail now to do
our part?
What we will do we know only in
part. Even now we are helping to
raise money for the campaign by
preparing "A medal contest; and we
hope to strengthen temperance SEN
timent by this use of prohibition
recitatiOns. The path of duty will
open to those who are willing to
walk therein. 1t is our purpose to
be ready to do whatever the mem
bers of the Temperance Committee
our brothers and husbands-wish us
to do. This purpose we may call
our constitution and bylaws
1t is not for our pleasure that we
organize, but because we feel it our
duty to help in this movement.
Every good enterprise has its place
for wOman's work. The churches
have their Ladies Aids" the mis-
sionary movements their WOman's
Missionary societies; the cause of
the Confederate veterans has its U.
d. e.; and the temperance move
ment, it's w. G. n. U.
In the local option movements of
Florida, as elsewhere, the foremost
ladies of the tOwns-women of re-
tlnement-have sacrificed their pleas
ure and comfort to take helpful
part in promoting this cause.
The meeting is called to be in the
the Baptist church, March 8, at p.
m. The following program will be
