plant out it should be plowed
once every week. Do not let
anything grow on the ground
but the tobacco. When the to.
bacco is ready for cutting It
should be cut and hung on .

direct to the barn, never allowing
rain or dew to fall on it and
after cutting and housing; if you
have weather to houseburn the
tobacco, use charcoal fires
to prevent the house burn. Then
careful handling after curing
is entirely necessary to secure

Viewed from a Mental, Moral
and Physical Standpoint.


There are certain inaliena5ls
rights that belong to all men,
thus placing the whole human
family upon one plane of equality
with the right to choose any
business or vocation according
to their several tastes, provided
they are not 30 used ss to con.
flict with the same inaliensble
rights Of another. The perpetui.
/ ty of our government depends
upon the intelligent observance
of this rule. In order that che
mind may be at its best, and
susceptible of the highest degree
of development, the physical
system must be kept in perfect
! state of health, for it is a we'll.
known fact that the mental
powers are largely controlled by
the condition of the physical
man. Therefore, anything that
impairs the state of health will,
in a corresponding degree,
j weaken and reduce the powers
and activities of the mind. Ger.
| tain drugs when taken into the
human system produces certain
| effects. One will reduce the
hearts action, while smother will
liner ease and stimulate the same
organ. Alcohol when taken into
the stomach sets up congestion
| in the mucus membranes.
Thus an abnormal condition in
tie stomach begins. The
chemical action of alcohol upon
the stomach tissues 10 80 well
known that it hardly needs to be
discussed. The congested con.
dition soon changes into an ir.
ritation, and, if long continued,
q hardening and thickening of
of the walls of the stomach is tn
result. So the stomach is in an
unhealthy condition and this
produces an abnormal condition
of the hearts action. Alcohol
checks tissue development and
thus diminishes the evolution of
heat and force. Therefore, the
use of alcoholic drinks disturbs
the entire nervous and digestive
powers, and in a corresponding
degree influences the activity
and development of the mind.
Therefore, it would be impossible
for one habitually under the in
lfluence of alcoholic stimulants
to reach a high degree of mental
. culture. And this is not all, for il
has been demonstrated thai
! those habituated to it's use are 80
damaged in their vital organs thai
they do not possess the same
endurance of fatigue and thu
;! same power of resistance to OK.

Missionary Work Among the
Boys.

The following extract is from
a speech of one of the officers
of the Ohio State Liquor league :
''It will appear from these
facts; gentlemen, that the sue.
cess of our business is dependent
largely upon the creation Of an
appetite for drink.
Men who drink liquor, like
others, will die, and if there is
no new appetite created our
counters will be empty, as will
be also our money drawers.
Our children will 60 hungry or
we must change our business to
something more remunerative.
The open field for the creation
of this appetite is among the
boys. After men are grown
and their habits are formed they
rarely change in this regard. It
will be needful, therefore, that
missionary work be done among
the boys, sndI make the sug-
gestion, gentlemen, that nickels
expended in treats to the boys
now will return in dollars to your
tills after the appetite has been
formed. Above all things create
appetites s.-Alabama Citizen,
October 10, 1906.
Who can conc oeive of q thing
more disboIiouls Have you a
boy for the business?
The frst product is that proud
boy or young man, who. in the
social circle, often the home, or
in the respectable saloon takes
his first drink feeling sure he
can drink or let it clone.
The finished product is the
drunkard in hell.
"No drunkard shall inherit
the kingdom of God"
Every man whose life has been
wrecked was once one of those
who "could drink or not drink. %
The prosecuting attorney OF
this county has publicly ex'
pressed himself as determined &c
, enforce the local option law in
case it carries and also his
willingness to have legal assis'

power of resistance than the
temperate to lnroads of ACTUAL
disease. And while all this is
going on the mental powers are
being weakened, mind imp aired,
will power goes, judgment un.
certain, the moral susoeptibilities
blunted, then the animal side of
life takes control, the individual
is now prepared to do anything,
even the low, dark, unseemly
deeds, as the animal nature, un.
restrained, msy direct. With q
drunken man the first to suffer
is his family. The drunken beast,
with his manly qualities sub
merged in the whiskey barrel
and beer keg, takes delight in
bringing sorrow, misery and
disgrace upon his abused wife
and children and his helpless
family must be deprived OF all
the comforts and even the real
necessities of life only 80 far as
the sorrowing and abused wife
may be able to provide. The
use of whiskey reduces an
honorable, law.abiding citizen
down to the lowest level of dis.
honor, disgrace and ruin.
Every saloon Or place where
whiskey is sold is drunk fac.
tory. In these dark dens our
boys learn to drink. Every
signe, to saloon petit is in.
dividually responsible for all the
suffering, sorrow and murd srs
that grow out of it. Those men
are running the saloons and the
saloon keeper acts ~ their
agent. Prohibition will close up

that are now recruiting ststions

are now marching 100, 900 strong

Close the saloon and the divorce

but little to do. Jails and pen.

occupants. Close the saloons and
the dark cellars and tenement
houses that are now crowded
fullof miserable, filthy, half clad,
half-fed women and children,
fostering with vice, crime and
ignorance, all the result of
drunken fathers and brothers, and
We are sorry to say, sometimes
mothers, will be changed, and

the place. Let US close up the
