Why They Go Together.

"Bottles and rags! bottles and
rags!" called the ragman, as he
piled his calling. "Why do you
always put these words together"
asked the ~passer-by.
because madam" said the rag
man courteously touching his hat
to the lady, wherever you find
bottles you find rags"
Shrewd philosophy! 1t is a pity
that our statesmen cannot see the
thing as clearly, and do not, for
the good of prosperity, to say
nothing of the moral happiness Of
the people, stop the accursed
liquor traffic instead Of putting in
the way Of Christian workers all
sorts of handicaps.
Remember the shrewd words Of
the ragman, who see things as
they are: "Wherever you find
bottles you find rags" And il
you wish to save people from
coming to rags, you will Danish
the bottle. Let US all say we shall
not give over the fight until we
succeed.-Herdd and P~resbyter.

st. Louis and the Brewers.


1t has been reported that Brewer
Busch, on a visit to the Fatherland,
once described St. Louis as the
little town in Missouri just over
back of his brewery.
Mr.. Busch perhaps never said
this or anything like it, but the
violent spasms that have assailed
the bankers, merchants, manu-
~facturers, stock exchange, real
estate exchange, labor unions,
German. Americans, city council,
etc., etc., in st. Louis during the
past week will lead many to think
he has good reason for such a de-
scription of this city.
What is the reason for all this
excitement and stir? The daily
papers have answered this ques-
ton by saying that it was in re-
spouse to a request from Mr..
Busch that they come to the rescue
of his business in this city.
Memorials have been sent to the
general assembly, delegations
have visited Jefferson City, the
papers editorially and in the news
columns have given large space in
opposition to the prohibition
movement.
With but few exceptions all have
shot wide of the mark.
The question now being agitated
is not whether the liquor business
shall be prohibited, but whether
the people of the state of Missouri
shall have the right to vote upon
the question. Ii such an oppor"
tunity should be given them, dur'
ing the campaign the arguments
that have been used would be
perfectly appropriate; at the
present time they have no more
relation to the question before the
general assembly than the theo-
logical arguments as to whether
the whale swallowed Jonah would
apply.
From what does Mr.. Busch APP
peal to the st. Louis business men
to secure his business?
From the right of the people tc
vote.
A confession that he is afraid o.
majority rule in the State OF Mis-
souri,.
This may not be an opprortune
time for a statewide submission
of the question; a great many o.
the staunchest temperance people
OF the state believe it is premature
that public sentiment is not ready
for it; but from every source there
is coming surprise at the %alacrity
with which the business organiza'
tions of st. Louis jumped wheI
Mr.. Busch cracked the whip.
This stir will serve at least one
good purpose in that it will awaken
the good people of Missouri to thu
uncertainty of the result If tn
vote is taken in 1910.
Many who have been led tt
believe that it would be an easy
victory for prohibition will nov
realize that they have to reckon
with a city having over 10000
registered voters, to be influenced
by the great financial interests
that seem to think that st. LouiI
life depends upon the Anheuser'
Busch Brewing Association

face Of Little Missile. but they fell
: upon a tall, white draped form:
standing erect by the bed with one
long arm extended upwards. Awe
stricken, and shaking from head to
foot, with eyes protruding, stood
Black Jane, too terrified to scream or
even move, until shivering, kissing
noise filed the room, and then with
!! a long, groaning vail, Black Jane slid
! to the floor, burying her turbaned
head in the bed clothes by her Little
Missie, as the gentle breeze waved
the vine to and fro, scraping the
leaves against the wall, and pushing
the blossoms together with a soft,
crushing sound. Not even the lisp
ing tones Of Little Missie's voice
could arouse her, as delightedly the
.emaciated little hand pointed toward
the white, stationary figure and the
lips curved into dimples for The first
time since her illness, as she cried
gleefully, in a weak voice:
"Oh, there they are, my beautiful,
big fairy-fowers, I knew they'd
come to me. Look nanny, look!
Tomorrow I am going to cross the
room and pick a bunch of them"
After a long time Of persuasion
and by lighting the room with sew
eral lamps, Missie at last convinced
Black Jane that the spectre she saw
was only the moon-fower vine in
full bloom inside the room, and then
could her firm belief in the su-
perstition that. had made life
miserable for her for so long time,
be shaken by Missie telling her that
Little Missie was on the road to re-
covery and soon would be able to sit
up. So at last Black Jane relin-'
quished her hold on the belief she
had entertained Of death; coming into
the room with the moon-foWers, to
the extent that she even went to the
vine and plueked handful of the
flowers, putting them in the blue
veined hands of Little Missie.
X x X
And so Black Jane became recon-
ciled to the moon-fowers, but no
one of the negroes in the quarters
dared mention the episode to, Black
Jane, and she has never sufficiently
forgotten it herself to look at the
sheen Of the white flowers without
something like a shiver.

Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions. z
It's a matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. II you live in hot eli

FIND DEFICIENCY
IN PRISON FUND
Committee Recommends Payment Of
Salaries Of Employees Out Of
Small Fund Remaining.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 19.--That only
S6,043.27 remains in the maintenance
fund Of the state penitentiary at Nc.
Alester and that $4,000 in approved
claims are outstanding against this
fund, which was appropriated for the
fiscal year ending June So 1909, is a
statement contained in the report OF
Victor e. Harlow. secretary of the
board of public affairs; Hugh Gerner,
a deputy state examiner and inspector
and Carl Rice, deputy auditor made
TO joint meeting of the board OF
prison control and the board Of public
affairs. This leaves deficiency of
s16.a56,73, which will have TO be Gov
erred by deficiency appropriation of
the next legislature.
The special committee recommended
the payment of s3.11S to cover pay of
employees Of the prison out Of the small
balance left in last years maintenance
fund, favored the immediate payment
Of other claims aggregating s2,slS.s6
and recommended that the balance
must remain until a deficiency appro-
priation can be made
The report OF the special committee
states that approximately $4,000 has
been paid out OF the construction fund
II appears some items have been
drawn on this fund that should have
been charged to the maintenance fund
The committee suggested that when
prisoners are being worked on con.
struction work 20 cents of the estl
mated cost of maintenance be charg
ed for each prisoner per day against
the construction fund This solution
was adopted by both boards in joint
session.
Il also was recommended that all
guards when used in guarding prison
ers engaged in construction work bs
paid during that period out Of the
construction fund.

Of about fifteen hundred per cent.
The expenditures OF this depart
ment as compared with the receipts il
very small indeed. Including $2,sSS.3l

TO the present proceedings and that
