Don't Drink or Gamble.

To the News; Boys DO not honor
their father and mother, who drink,
play cards and gamble. You dishonor
them in these things and bring shame
and disgrace on yourself. What would
you think of girl who would drink
liquor, get drunk and gamble and
paint her community red Would you
respect herr Could you respect even
her parents2 You would not. Then
hast she as much right TO do these
things as You havey think so, yet if
she was to do so, not one Of you would
like to be seen in her company.
Then, if you boys raise such
standard for the girls, why 90 You
take it so much to heart when pure,
good girl absolutely refuses You her
companyg Your conduct has rendered
You unfit to associate with a lady,
hence she ignores you, You may be %
splendid specimen of the male sex and
goodly to look on, but your conduct
has marred your manliness and tarn-
ished your character, and therefore
good and pure girls hand you the NIT
ten whenever you intrude yourself on
them Hence those you would like to
pay your respects to turn away from
you, not from any malice or hatred.
but they don t care to equalize them
selves with you.
Some ignoramuses teach equality
and the brotherhood of man. No such
equality or brotherhood can occur un-
til all become pure and good. and
when drunken, vicious young men as
sert that they are as good as an ordin-
ary girl, they are mistaken. It's not
so. 1t is ridiculous to say devils are as
good as saints and for men to declare
equality under these conditions of
things is contrary to divine revelation.
Good and evil won't mix A pure
girl associating with wretch is all
out of order. The brotherhood Of
man means that all will be like Christ,
orChrist like No where does the BIZ
Bile teach the doctrine of brotherhood
between Christians and the wicked.
Neither does it teach equality. The
line is drawn even on marriage, boys,
and says be ye not unequally yoked.
The idea of drunken wretch marry
ing a pure, good girl is contrary to the
divine teaching There is no equality
and there can be no divine socialism
under the environments of the age,
but there will be bye and bye. With
these few lines TIL bid you adieu

Sbect0I 10 The Ne7OS.
Mr. Editor, there is nothing much
going ON at this place that would be
of interest to the News for lengthy
report, so | will only write a short
piece which will perhaps be the most
interesting part of my communication
that IL, it is short.
1t is said by those living under the
Roosevelt regime, that the 2nd of this
month was ground hog day, but when
l was a boy it came on the 14th, or
at least, that was what | was taught
by some Dutch neighbors, and they
were supposed to know, but / do not
think now that the grounding has
much to do with the winter being
heightened six weeks. If it has we
will surely have six more weeks of
cold weather, as the 2nd was very
bright day, and his honor, the ground
hog, could not help seeing his shadow
if he came out of his winter quarters
on that day
In tne criminal court last week, the
negro that attempted to rob T. NJ.
Eakin and shot him in the arm was
tried, and resulted in mistrial. The
jury stood eleven for conviction and
one for acquital The negro tried to
prove an alibi.
Business has revived some as several
of the plants that have been closed
down have resumed work but, not
full time.
The weather is very cold, the sever
est of the winter.
There has been a great deal of sick
ness here this winter. La grippe, OF
influenza as it was formerly called,
has been and is yet raging in milo
form. Wanderer.

Few Here Know This.

When an eminent authority announ-
ced in the Scranton PA. Times that
be had found new way to treat that
dread American disease, Rheumatism,
with Just common, every day drugs
found in any drug store, the physi
clans were slow indeed to attach
much Importance to his claims. This
was only a few months ago. Today
nearly every newspaper in the coun-
try, even the metropolitan dailies, is
announcing it and the splendid re-
suits achieved. 1t is SO simple that
any one can prepare it at home at
small cost 1t is made up as follows:
Get from any good prescription phar-
macy Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce. Compound Kargon, one
ounce Compound Syrup Sarsaparilia,
three ounces. Mix by shaking in
bottle and take in teaspoonful doses af-
ter each meal and at bedtime. These
are all simple ingredients, making an
absolutely harmless home remedy at
little cost.
Rheumatism, as everyone knows. is
a symptom of deranged kidneys. 1t is
condition produced by the failure Of
the kidneys to properly filter or strain
from the blood the uric acid and other
matter which, il not eradicated, either
in the urine or through the skin pores,
remains in the blood, decomposes and
forms about the joints and muscles.
causing the untold suffering and de-
formity of rheumatism. This prescrip-
tion is said to be splendid healing,
cleansing and invigorating tonic to the
kidneys, and gives almost immediate
relief in all forms of bladder and urin-
ary troubles and backacbe. He also
warns people in leading New York
paper against the discriminate use of
many natent medicines.
