"A healthy person does not heed state

persons suffer from poisonous weeds, a
remedy is anxiously desired. suffered
severely for four years from poison oak
and ivy. My condition was serious, as
Ieould not rest night or day and be free
from a terrible itching sensation from
scratching on my hands between the
fingers, my feet and face. l got the best

came true. My eyesight was affected,
and went to hospital especially for
the eyes and got relief, but eczema got
a terrible hold on my system.

The Other Side.

There are two sides to every question,
and although Mr.. Houghton, in his able
letter on the license question, in the last
issue of The PhRniX, says that the facts
are too patent for debate. l will en-
deavor in a friendly spirit to present in
all fairness a few of the reasons which
consider sufficient for maintaining the
present system.
Surely no one was sanguine enough to
expect that no license" would put
stop to all use of intoxicating liquors in
the town. What was expected and what
has been largely realized. was that the
temptation of an open bar in the center
Of the town would be removed. The con-
yenience of the hotel it's location when
it is passed many times a day, was
constant source of temptation to those
who have the inclination to drink, but
will not go to the trouble of getting it,
if ii necessitates crossing the river or
sending away for 1t.
Under present conditions men who are
honestly trying to avoid it have some
chance of success. Should we remove
that chance by placing the temptation
directly before them again?
have no doubt that in some individual
cases, bottle drinking has increased I'M
der no-license. but no one will dispute
the fact that less money is being spent
for drink and fewer individuals are using
it, than when one had only to stop at the
hotel to get all he wanted.
The question of revenue from the Ii
ccnse fee is relatively of small conse-
quence as ore-half of it goes to the state.
Instead Of asking If the town can afford
to lose this money I should ask If the
people IF the town can afford to pay 1t.
For it is paid, many times over, by wage
earners who can i'll afford it, and whose
families suffer in consequence Of this
steady drain on their resources.
License makes it altogether too easy
and too convenient 1t also attracts an
undesirable element to town. year age
last summer and fall, when the work was
being done on the railroad, almost every
Saturday night and occasionally on other
nights, a noisy crowd of men half drunK
If not entirely so, paraded the street be-
tween the village and the depot. / have
heard nothing of the kind since the first
Of May.
If We wish the opinion of those who are
most deeply concerned in the matter
ask the women of the town and especially
the wives and mothers of those who made
The bar their headquarters outside o.
working hours. They will answer witt
one voice that no-license is infinitely bet
ter than license, and surely their wishes
are entitled to serious consideration.

Two SLIPS in the Statement.

"A license fee of $4,000 is equivalent
to a tax on about $4,000 of property
Can the town. in view of its present finan-
Cial condition, afford to lose that money!"
In the last issue of The Phoenix Mr.. f.
l.. Houghton made the above statement,
which contains two slips, one in law and
one in arithmetic, both unintentional no
doubt.
years has been Sl65 on the grand list
and can be no less the coming year At
this rate it is evident that $500 is equi-
Valent to the tax on about 100000 in
stead of $4,000. But as half of the
license is paid to the state and the town
must meet the expenses of the license
commissioners, considerably less than $3.50
of income is obtained, which is equal to
a tax on less than $4,000.
