days ago about the habit Of drink.
ing intoxicants and the reason there
Of. His idea was something like
this: Most men can, and a great
many do take a drink without do
ing harm to themselves or to 9TH
ers. The ordinary drunkard Of ev.
eryday occurrence is usually man
who has had very little to do with
affairs Of life and does not seem
to care. But many Of that class care
much more than they seem. Some
men drink because they have lost
their nerve, others because they
have not come up with their early
e1pectatiops IN social Or business
hfe.
Still others drink because their fan
lily has not come up to the expecta.
lions In business or society. Most
men who drink to excess among pee
pie Of ambition and ability, drink
to forget or perhaps begin to imbibe
as a stimualnt to hard work and
where it can be used asmedicine, is
much better than drugs.
The high strung nervous man whit
Is a hard worker is among the

and teh one who regrets 1t the
most. He usually drinks as a slim.
ulant to brain and body and the hab.

his best and most rapid work is done
while halfway intoxicated %
In this busy world, either a man
must have rest or stimulants and
there are many kinds beside whiskey

who occasionally goes over the line,
the best plan Is to feed him well,
a man rarely gets drunk on a full

GREAT MAJESTIC MALLEABLE and CHARCOAL IRON RANGE
At Our Store For One Week, October 5th to 10th
FACTS
ABOUT the GREAT
MAJESTIC RANGE !,

1t is the only range in the world made of NAL
leable and Charcoal Iron.
1t has, beyond any question of doubt, the
largest and best reservoir.
1t uses about half the fuel used on other
ranges, and does better work by far.
The Majestic All Copper Nickeled Reservoir
heats the water quicker and hotter than any other
1t is the only reservoir with a removable frame.
The Charcoal Iron Body of the Great Majestic
Range lasts three times as long as steel body.
Being made of non-breakable material, there
is practcayno expense for repairing the Majestic.
AS for baking, it is perfection; not only for
few months, but for all time to come.
A GREAT MAJESTIC RANGE lasts three
times as long as cheap range, but it don't cost
three times as much.
