Needs Orrine Treatment-cure Effect
ed or Money Refunded.
Drink first destroys ambition;
breaks up ties of friendship; it kills
ard buries love and eventually de-
stroys the family life.
Some of the best men in the world
have been victims of drink and #
there is not some member in your
family that is afflicted with this dis
ease, you arc indeed fortunate.
Drink cunningly> destroys the will
power, and while the drunkard wants
to do what you tell him, he wants a
thousand times more the drink that
he Graves. Medical treatment is nee
essary to destroy the craving, and this
Orrine will do.
1t destroys the desire for liquor, so
that the drink will not be missed, also
cures the deranged digestion, weak
ened nerves and other i'll effects of
excessive drinking, restoring the pa
tient to perfect health.
The remedy is absolutely harmless,
lis thoroughly scientific and is so uni
formly successful that it is sold with a
registered guarantee emitting you to
refund of your money if Orrine fails
to effect a cure. Booklet on How to

Living cost-Wases.

Has cost of living increased
faster than have wages? The
answer is found in the follow
ing table Of two lines:
Increase.
Cost of living 40 per cent
Wages ............19 per cert
Frank w. Hitchcock, now
National Republican chairman,
former first assistant postmas-
ter-general, recommended a
s5,0OO,O00 increase in the COM
pensation of letter carriers, Civ
ing as his reason that cost of
living has materially increased.
Salaries of senators and repre-
sentatives were increased so per
cent, and many speeches were
made in both bodies to show
that so heavy has been the in
crease in living cost that the
raise in congressional salaries
was necessary, lest only wealthy
men be able to accept Office in
either branch of the congress.
Need any housewife be told
these facts? Is there a head of
a family who does not realize
their truth?
