a boy in it, who is losing everything
he holds dear, or did hold dear, be
cause he uses that deadly, dreadful
cigarette. I feel the tears smarting
in my eyes as remember him. His
teacher told me he was one Of the
brightest boys in school, well up in
his studies meaning to graduate from
the high school, and 60 on to col
lege, a fine truthful boy, once NOw,'
said his teacher, I wouldn't believe
him on oath. He is losing ground
every day in his studies losing cOur-
age, losing faith, losing his chance to
do something in this world because Of
a little roll Of poison that holds him

An unknown woman in Hammond

closing saloons, even when all the
business interests Of the town are ar
rayed against her By a letter to
Governor HanIy, she opened his eyes
to such an extent that he has asked

public sentiment in Hammond against
closing the saloons, for they claim
that this sends trade to West Ham

it must choose between the path which
leads to money prestige and temporal |
power, and that in which a GOd-fear-
ing, law-abiding people may safely
walk TO enduring greatness The gov
ernOrs named, who chance to stand
in the Hmelight of public opinion as
refOrmers, are ably supplemented by
several other chief executives Of

If closed saloons on one day Of the
