Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 24.-That
private consumer must buy his beer
or liquor directly from a regularly II
censed saloon and not from whole
saler was decided by the supreme
court of Indiana yesterday.
The decision was given in an s.p-
peal from a lower court to test the
constitutionality of the Beardsley law.

court decides that the law is consti-

church owes four duties to its pastor.
They are:
Pay up. Turn in your contribution
TO the church treasury with the ut
most promptness. Leave the treas
ure. 20 excuse for running your min
istr- into debt.
=. Speak out. When the church
is a6out to choose new pastor, raise
the Eestion Immediately as to the
staas1 Of preaching expected. Con-
seTYutiye or progressive, let il be
settled then. Better a not debate and
the consequent hard feelings than a
sham acquiescence that keep things
smooth for the time, and later sub
ieets a minister to a process OF doc
trinal bullying that degrades his man
hocd. If subsequently there arise
disagreements, see to it that they are
met not by bringing pressure TO bear
sPoradieally upon the pastor, but by
bringing pressure to bear, when neees-
sary, upon his parishioners. By this
! mean demanding that they reach
common ground on which they are
willing to stand consistently
g. Be considerate. Refuse to ruin
your pastors usefulness by heaping
upon him host of unnecessary tasks.
Leave him time to fulfil his larger
obligations honestly-time for solid,
patient, conscientious preparation for
the pulpit, time for the faithful shep-
herding of the flock.
a. Be natural. The pose people
assume toward minister is a sur
yiyal of a bygone time, and so is their
insistence that he practice an artiff>
cial severity of life. The natural, III
stinctive attitude Is that OF eandor in
the one matter and of respect Ior ms
individual convictions in the other
Some day, when Christians have
come to understand that only as these
four simple rules are obeyed can a
clergyman maintain his honesty,
there will result a reformation that
will make the preachers calling what
God means it to be-the noblest, the
most inspiring, the most hallowed in
all the world. And never again will
man write an account of how he
left the ministry to save his soul! !"

CARE FOR HORSE
DURING COLD DAYS
HUMANE DoN'Ts THAT MAY BE
OBSERVED WITH
PROFIT.
A LITTLE EARLY FOR PRoMULeA.
TIoN. BUT ALWAYS TIMELY
JUST THE SAME.

1t is a bit early for the caution, but
soon it will be getting cold, and may
be it is time for the hint as to how
ones horse should be treated in the
frigid atmosphere OF northern winter.
The following is vouched for as ex-
cellent advice to horse owners for
winter and should be posted up in
every stable where horses are kept,
that the precepts it teaches may be-
come known to all who use equines:--
Don't use cold bits in cold weather.
Your horses tongue is tender and his
mouth is formed of delicate glands and
tissues.
Don't clip your horse when the mer-
curry is at freezing point.
Don't fail to blanket your horse
when 1t stands in the cold.
Don't forget that nasal catarrh, diph-
liberia bronchitis and other ills often
result from exposure, and the chill
which follows suddenly checked per-
spiration.
Don't tslii to keep your horses shoes
sharp when the streets are slippery.
Don't put your horses in unskilled
hands. Good feet are spoiled by bad
shoeing.
Don't keep your horse in an over
heated stable, then stand it for hours
in freezing atmosphere and wonder
bow it became paralyzed.
Don't lash it at any time. 1t Will do
better L you are kind.
Don't swear. Profanity is never COM
mendable.
Don't load your horse 200 heavily
when the streets and roads are
blocked with snow
Don't force it to back a heavy load
over a heavy snow bank. A shovel,
with little energy will make it easier
for your horse and your conscience.
Don't try to convince your horse
that it is on skates when his feet
strike slippery pavements. Go slow.
Don't fail to oil your wagon axles.
There is heap of humanity in axle
grease.
Don't fail to properly shelter your
horse from the cold, aud exercise him
when the weather is good.
Don't fail to have your horses teeth
examined. OF what use is food if your
horse can't eat it?
Don't dock your horses tail. 1t needs
| it in winter as in summer, and remem-
Der, it was put there by master
hand.
Don't overcheck your horse. Natures
curves are always graceful.
Don't forget that there is more pro
fit in coaxing horse than in kicking
it. Try gentleness and see how it
/ grows on you.
/ Dom wait till your horse is dead, Or
nearly so, before you send for a
doctor or ambulance.
Don't forget that your horse helps
you to earn a living.
Don't forget that it will repay you
for it's cost if you treat it right
Don't give it whisky unless advised
/ By a veterinary surgeon.
Don't take any yourself. Whisky
heats the blood, and nine-tenths of the
abuses of animals are directly due to
/ its use
Don't lash your horse when he is do
ing the best he can.
Don't use binders. They are need
less, disfguring and make horse ner
| vous.

NINE STATES NOW
ARE WHOLLY DRY
so REPORTS WILL SHOW AT CON.
vENTIoN OF ANTIsALooN
LEAGUE.
MORE THAN HALF OF THE AMER.
IcAN PEOPLE RESIDE IN PRO-
i;5lTIoN TERRITORY.

Chicago. Nov. 24.-The thirteenth
national convention of the Anti-Sa-
loon League of America wiz meet in
Chicago December 6, the same day
congress convenes in Washington.
For week before. the superintend-
ents and field workers of the league
will be in conference, preparing cam
paign plans to be submitted to the
national body. The determination o.
the Illinois league to force the anti
sal1on issue to a finish fight in Chi
eago viii provide a local interest,"
greater than ever before aroused by
such a convention The reports of
the officers of the league. covering
the two years since the last cOnven-
ton, will show wonderful advance
ment Of the work undertaken by the
organization.
The principal feature On the pro
gram will be the call Of the states.
The names of the states will be CALI
ed in alphabetical ORDER and the
lea que workers from each will report
the progress of the campaign in his
bailiwick. Nine states will report 'ali
dry" OF these, Tennessee, North
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Mis-
sissippi voted out the saloons as the
direct result of the campaign waged
by the league. From every state IN
the union the leage workers will re
port victory in the majority Of bat
ties in which the organization has
engaged.
Twenty governors of states,
half of all the governors in the union,
are committed in part or in whole
to the support Of the league. Wore
than half the people of the United
States live in prohibition territory,
and great deal more than half or
! the. land area of the country is dry, =
so far as the legal sale of alcohol is
concerned. During the two years
since the last meeting of the nation
al league, the organization has won
political victories OF one sort and an
u OAAgA al EtNA 0LcltGs anu III IAG
whole country, has won more than
threefourths of the fights in which
it has engaged
A striking feature of the propa-
ganda Of the organization is that, in
it's fight on the saloons, it devotes
more argument to the economic and
political phases of the question than
to the so-called moral issues. The
evils resulting from the control Of
political machines by the ss!oons
and the economic losses involved in
the business are dwelt upon, while
there is not nearly so much said
about "drunkards and horrible ex.
amples.'
Thus far the league has done very
little in national politics. 1t has been
fighting for certain federal legisla
ton, and has put congress on notice
hat it must sooner or later deal with
the question of prohibition, for the
District of Columbia If the league
should take up an active campaign
In favor of the proposed legislation
by winch congress resigns to the
states the right to regulate interstate
shipments of liquors, then the fight
will become national. At this time
the leaders of the league are divid-
er in opinion as to whether or not
the time has come to enter the ma.
tional field as an aggressive political
force

On the Rail

One hundred and fifty locomotives
Of the Lehigh Valley railroad have
been equipped with new fuelsaying
device which is expected to prove of
immense value 70 railroads though
out the county. Economy in fuel has
been for many years one of the great
problems for railroad officials, so that
great interest is attached TO this new
device. On all locomotives there are
air-brake pumps operated by steam,
and it has been the practice to con-
duct the exhaust steam from the
pumps TO The smoke box" to which
the stack is attached, and there re-
lease it. The effect is to create 2
draft on the fire. Since much of the
work of the brake pumps is doIe
when the locomotive is at standsull,
or going down grade, this means that
fuel is consumed uselessly. The new
arrangement IS supply to carry the ex'
haust steam pine outside, instead OF
inside, the srnokcstaek. The piping is
