from our columns forever. Or II
he is in doubt about any other, be-
lieving it to contain enough alco-
hol to fuddle him, as soon as ne
RECEIVERS from the first dose he is
invited to repeat the performance
under similar conditions. Butli
he should fail to get glorionsly and
salubriously drunk, then we Will be
cleared of all expense. His allega'
ton that "most medicine adver-
tisenents contain from 70 to 81 per
cent. Of alcohol and that we
thank the Lord for them seems
TO insinuate that man could get
. very good sample f"boose" from
the medicines advertised In these
columns. If SO, it is a splendid
chance to get bilariously booty at
no expense, in tact express pre-
paid" So come on, and let US SET
tie the question with practical
exhibit. We will wager you wont
swallow more than quart OF
Black Draught at sitting, whlch
we also note is advertised along
with Wine of Cardui in your col"
umns. And while on the chemist
try question perhaps the learned
editor will inform us how much
alcohol is contained in Ballard
Snow Liniment or Buck lens Arms
ca S6aillve.
Jumping at conclusions is a com
mon fault of the human race, and
the esteemed editor is no exception
to the rule. He charges us with
misconstrulng the meaning of the
Bible concerning the famous reply
of Cain regarding his brother
Abel, and .grandiloquently tells us
what it should have been. Verse
| 8, Chapter 1, of Genesis, records the
words exactly as we gave them
For his benefit we print the verse.
And the Lord said unto Cain,
Where is Abel thy brother? and
| he said, | know not: Am L my
brothers keeper"
If the editor of Mrs. Grundy is as
blind in reading the words of the
Bible as this, how detective must
his vision be concerning the per-
nicious results which must lnevl
tably follow the weekly incense o.
advertising which he offers up al
the altar of the rum idol.
Regarding the St. Louis Globe
Democrat argument it is weak ano
puerile. A similar argumen
would be for us to abandon thu
use of the railroads because they
haul the products of the distillery
} by saying the patronage of the OPP
, ponents of whiskey pays the op
: Grating expenses of those railroads
Should we follow the line of argu
! ment laid down by Mrs. Grund.
we would advise people not to TAX
> the paper. but that, unless Mrs.
e Grundy really insists upon it,
S beyond our province. To have MR.
f Grundy to read we exchange pr
r pers with her, and we pay for tn
8 Daily Globe Democrat in advertis
o ing space. 1t is not liquor ad
n vertisement, whatever the Glot
Democrat may do. If Mrs. Grund
:. must inaugurate an endless chat

sr Globe Democrat is as clean a dali

ID the city paper Is not nearly
n. vicious in effect as that 10 L
er country paper, for the latter

DIS exerts a personal influence over
