prophets who wrote the Bible, ii on
earth to-day, would certainly have
reference to the temptations and the
dangers which now beset us on every
hand, and which were unknown to
them in their day.
The perplexing question is:
What profit, if any, should be
charged on the eale of liquor?
If it is sold at cost we encourage
the sale and no temperance man
would do that.
If we charge high price, the
profit is great and the fear is that it
may be regarded as a money-making
concern.
We favor high price
Because the high price reduces the
sale, and we think the less liquor a
man gets for his money the better
off he is nine times out of ten.

You Must
Sleep.

If you cannot, it is due to an
irritated or congested state Of
the brain, which will soon de-
velope into nervous prostration.
Nature demands sleep, and
it is as important as food; it
is a part of her building and
sustaining process. This period
of Inconsistencies relaxes the
mental and physical strain, and
allows nature to restore eX-
hausted vitality.
DR.. Miles Nervine brings
refreshing sleep, because it
soothes the irritation and re-
moves the congestion.
1t is also a nerve builder; it

PROH|B|T|ON|STS FIGHT
FOR TEMPERANCE.
Insist that Strong Clause Goes in
Bill---They Modify Their
Claims.

Washington,-Th call for Re-
publican conference to be held in the
house at the conclusion of the session
was issued today by Mr.. Hepburn. The
conference is called to consider the
question Of statehood for the territor-
les.
The committee devoted several hours
to hearing on the proposed prohibi-
tlon amendment to any statehood bill
admitting Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory to the Union. Members of the
statehood delegation from the two ter
ritories and the representatives of the
various religious and temperance organ
izations were present. f.. G. Dinviddie
legislative agent of the anti-saloon
league declared that the league and al
lied organizations would insist on a
prohibition clause in the bill and would
be satisfied with an amendment to the
Gallagher-Stone amendment which pre-
vents the sale and manufacture of of
liquor in the proposed state for twenty
one years and after that time only by
the adoption of an amendment to the
state constitution. He said, however,
that he would be willing to accept
modification of the amendment which
would permit the sale of liquor and
alcohol for medicinal and industria
purposes.
Stillwell II. Russel, of Ardmore, and
ian Territory made pleas for the ad-
mission of the two territories as a state
without any restrictions and urged
that the people of the proposed state
may be relied upon to care for the liq-
uor traffic in the proper manner.

Is Disease a Crime ?

Not very long ago, n popular magazine
published an editorial article In which
the writer asserted, In substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal
Certain 1t is, that much OF the sickness
and suffering OF mankind Is due To the
violation of certain Of Natures laws.
But to say that all sickness should be
regarded as criminal must appeal TO
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong.
1t would be harsh, unsympathctlc,
cruel, yes criminal, to condemn the poor,
weak, over worked housewife who sinks
under the heavy load Of household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak
ncsses, various displaccments OF pelvic
organs and other arrangements peculiar
to her sex.
Frequent bearing Of children, with its cx;;
acting demands upon the system, coupled
with the care, worry and labor OF rearing
large family, Is often the cause of weak
nesses arrangements and debility which are
aggravated by the many household cares,
and the hard. and never-cnding work which
the mother Is called upon To perform. DR..

edy for wOman'S peculiar weaknesses and
