a SaIooDkecper's Warning.

We have recently seen the letter
written by a Georgia saloon-keeper
to a man who had written to him Of
fering to buy his business. The man
who wanted to buy had wife and
four children. He did not wish to
take his family to live in the place
where the saloon was located, nor
did he wish his mother or other rela-
tives to know about his going into
the business. To this man the saloon
keeper wrote, advising him not to go
into the degrading position OF
whiskey-dealer." He said:
"I do not blame you for not want
ing your relatives TO know that you
intend to deal in whiskey; and II
you have one iota Of self-Tespect left,
I beg OF you. for the sake of your
wife and children and aged mother,
please do not degrade yourself by
going to selling rum, but assist them
in this world to be elevated instead
of being inducers of vice and sin. You
may be surprised al these words COM
ing from one who sells booze. How
ever, fate and that only, has thrown
me into this damnable vocation.
hope that it is not too late for you
to mend your ways, that your present
intentions can be changed upon the
advice Of one who is in this business,
and who is giving you, free of charge,
advice which I hope you will heed.
Not having the pleasure of person
al acquaintance. hope that you may
be in position at some future date
to thank me for this information, and
in your hours of devotion offer up
silent prayer fer one who is suffering
through the misguidance Of human
fate"

THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
TIE VICE OF !NTEM?ERhNCE.

Theories and Facts-kn Answer to
the oft-Repeated Cry "You Cannot
Cure Drunkenness by StStutes'-
Laws Against tiuucs Selling Can
Be Enforced.
In reply to the oft repeated cry,
You can't cure drunkenness by
statutes" the Nashville American
says: IF the law can have no et
feet on the liquor Cratic, why have
laws regulating tie sale OF it where
it is sold? Why close saloons on elec'
tion days or Sundays? Murder is
committed in spite OF law. Why have
laws against murder? You can't cure
drunkenness by statute; you can't
1egislate the taste of liquor out OF
mems mouths These are only half
truths. You can't make men honest
by legislation. Then why have laws
against dishonesty? Law may not
reform a drunkard, hut it can largely
prevent the manufacture OF drunk
ards. It does do it. The matter has
been tested in nearly every state IN
the South. 1t has been demonstrated
in Tennessee. Where there were
many saloons there is now none. AS
a result the number Of liquor drinkers
has largely decreased; so have the
drunkards; so have fights and brawls
and murders; SO has misery and un'
happiness in many homes. There IS
more peace, more prosperity than
there was before. Where is the COM
munity that, having done without sa'
looms for as long as two years, would
have them back again?
"The abolishment of saloons is not
an adjustment CT any mans right
to drink liquor. The individual can
legally purchase liquor if he Is de-
termined to have it, and some who
are opposed to saloons do 30. But
the number is far smaller than 1t was.
In some communities liquor can be
legally purchased and the liquor IL
legally vended is far less in quantity
than the amount formerly sold in sa'
looms in those communities. In some
communities there are cases of drunk
enness, but they are much fewer tnan
when LQCTG were sdioohS. ~ oAoS
murders occur in some communities,
but there would be many more muir.
ders If there we're no laws against
murder. Demonstrated facts are worth
more as an argument that theories
and unsupported statements.
What becomes of the appetite for
liquor of men who are employed by
railroads, banks, insurance companies
and great business concerns that for
bid the use of liquor by their EN-
ployes? Such requirement Is more
stringent than any statute. for nc
statute forbids men to drink.
1.-The laws against selling liquor can
be enforced as well as the law against
theft. Neither law is an absolute pre-
ventive. But what wholesome, re-
straining effect they have! The Am
erican is neither a crank nor an ex'
tremist on the temperance question:
he does not expect to see the impos'
sible accomplished, and does not fa
vor an attempt of the impractical; but
the quotation at the head of this ar
ticle does not harmonic with demon
strated facts"

Eve Glasses Cure Suffering.

DR.. George Feige, Of Des Moines'
Iowa, has apparently CHANGED upon
4 new method of treating suffering
by treating the eyes. DR.. Felge'
told the Iowa State Oculists Associa-
tion at it's annual convention, that
boy recently visited him to nave
glasses fitted for his eyes. His vision
was seriously impaired, and the lad
stuttered so that it was difficult Tor
him to tell what he wanted. The
oculist provided glasses that relieved
the strain on the eyes, and the boy
had only worn them a short time
wh an his suffering entirely ceased.

1t is said that ice may be so costly
this season as to cause some OF the

supply Philadelphia and other centres
not to start up this year. Ordinarily
these concerns get their ice from the
fresh water points just back of the
beaches, but the crop this winter was
not sufficient for such harvest. The

make good deal of money, but though
