there was no law preventing the farmer
from selling his tobacco in the hand,
ons concern in Tennessee authorizes
me to make the statement that it could
handle ten thousand hogsheads of the
farmers tobacco for which they could
find sale at home, that they could
ship it by the hundred pounds wrapped
up IN bales to the saw mills in Missouri
in Louisiana and in Mississippi, and that
they could sell it in small quantities in
the same way all over the South. AS
it is, the only sale we have for our to-
bacco, the only purchaser of 95 per
per cent, Of it, is the Reggie and Amer
lean Tobacco Company. The only force
the one agency that demands its in
exorable ultimatum of the Republican
party that this tax shall remain, is the
tobacco trust, and call upon you here
today to let us have vote and to let
Us see who are with the people and
who are with the trnst."

Easy To Mix This

What viii appear very interesting to
many people here is the article taken
from New York daily paper, giving
a simple prescription, which is said to
be a positive remedy for backache or
kidney or bladder arrangement, il
taken before the stage Of Brights dis
ease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-hali
ounce; Compound kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparila, three
ounces. Shake well in bottle and
take IN teaspooniul doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A wcll-known druggist here at home,
when asked regarding this prescrip-
ton. stated that the ingredients are all
harmless, and can be obtained at a
small cost from any good prescription
pharmacy, or the mixture would be put
up il asked to do so. He further stated
that while this prescription j. often
prescribed in rheumatic affections with
splendid results. he could see no rea-
son why il would not be q splendid
remedy Tor kidney and urinary troubles
and backache, as it has a peculiar ac-
ton upon the kidney structure, cleans
ing these most important organs and
helping them to siit and filter from the
blood the foul acids and waste matter
which cause sickness and suffering.
Those OF our readers who suffer can
make no mistake in giving it trial.

culars say which we send into counties
in which contests have been and are
being made.
Here is the si,uationl \ county votes
to abolish the saloons, In thirty days
the resorts are closed. The business
is outlawed. Any old timers will go
any length to get their drinks. They
will journey to the ncighboring city, il
they have the money. or they will hunt
the bootlcgger in the back alley, or in
the old barn. But these are exceptions
and not the rule.
\ large part OF the drinking is done
by men who drop into a saloon with a
friend or friends IL is social Gus
tom, nothing more. With the saloon
gone, the custom is discontinued.
Many men who take glass OF beer or
nip OF whiskcy will not walk around
the corner for il; most certainly they
will not hunt blind tiger or a bootleg
ger. They do not care enough Tor il,
and, besides. they refuse TO counter
ancc that which public sentiment and
a majority OF the voters condemn.

does without and soon gets over the

more social drinking. That's cut out,
and that's where we brewers lose out.
And it is a fact that these moderate

hard IN these local option campaigns,
Oh course, many oi the hard drinkers

their reach, believing il will be better

seem To have bitter feeling against

culiar delight in getting back at us.

Old Noah's zrk

Old Noahs ark has lost its roof
And the animals half their feet;
The Teddy bear can no more wool, !"
Nor the woody lambkins bleat;
The Jack-in-box has broken springs,
The drum-heads bursted I'M
The fairy doll has lost its wings,
The horn has ceased its din:
The little horn, the battered horn
That woke the welkin OF the morn;
The sword of tin, the drum that beat
A week ago in Christmas street,
Old Noah's ark is all awry
And the animals one by one
Have lost a tail, or leg or eye
And the engine will not rum
The jumpingjack is down and out,
The top has lost its zeal.
The toys are wrecks that lie about
Beneath each vandal heel
The cleaning toys, the glittering toys,
That woke his radiant eyes with Joys;
The drum, the top, the ball, the cart,
The wagon wrecked and fall'n apartl
Old Noah's ark-ah, yet | see
His merry eye that morn,
When we held him up TO the Christmas
tree
And he blew the argent horn;
Some deep eruption, ruin or blight,
Some champing cyclones breath,
Hath come in quiet of the night
With ruin and with death:
The camel and the leopard, they
Have lost their heads in a single day;
oh, my, how swift hath doom come
down
On Noah's ark in Christmas town.
Old Noah's ark, why il was fine,
But the beasts are out OF tune;
And, Ararat, the shell is thine
The flood has brought so soon;
The bugles bent and there is no stock
With which to hold the gun;
The hands are gone from the little
clock
And the wind-ups will not run:
The elephant and the kangaroo
Have lost their paint and are both in
two,
The sawdust doll that squcaked within
Has all run out and her sides bulge inl
Old Noahs ark is high and dry,
And the wheelbarrow wobbes weak !;
The hobby horse has lost an eye
And the kitten will not squeak;
But, ruin, rage; and wreck, come down,
For there in his dream he lies
a happy lad in Christmas town
With the laughter in his eyes:
The little horn, the battered horn,
That woke the world on Christmas
morn;
The broken toys; all, what are they
The king has laughed and had his day
-Beutztown Bard.
