THE GREAT DESTROYER
SOME STARTLING FACTS ABOUT
THE VICE OF INTEMPERANCE.
The Rum Traffic.

4 Will lAoihS
First and foremost, as always. Is
the fact that the sale of liquor results
detrimentally to the community, indi'
vidually and collectively.
A few men are prospered ~fnaEGial-
ly by the licensed sale of liquor, but
the vast majority are made poorer by
it, and thousands are subjected by
it to extreme hardship and misery.
There is not a single sound argu-
ment, moral or material, that can be
advanced in favor of the sale OF
liquor.
Many good citizens vote Yes" year
after year on the assumption that the
sale of liquor cannot be stopped by a
mo" vote, and that it Is better to
have the business regulated under
license.
Many others vote "Yes" because Of
the money the sale Of licenses brings
into the city treasury.
Neither Of these reasons justifes
the infliction upon the community Of
the evils Of the rum traffic.
There has never been any honest
attempt to regulate the liquor traffic
under license.
A computation of the extra burden
of expense entailed upon the city by
the rum traffic through the police
and pauper departments would show
that the city pays out more than it
receives on account of 1t. ,'"
Add to what the city pays in extra
police and pauper appropriations the
amounts expended by the churches
and charitable institutions and by in
%dividuals in caring for the victims of
the pauper-breeding traffic and the
amount received from liquor licenses
appears only a drop in the bucket in
comparison.
Then the loss of income to many
families entailed by drunkenness
which results in the loss Of time or
the loss of jobs must be taken into

Fit For the Masters Use.

If the joy of youth has more foam
and sparkle, the JOY of age has
greater depth and substance. One is
like the reflection of sunlight on the
Jumps of ore, where there Is much
dross mingled with the metal, the
other like the glance eff tempered
steel which has been through the
furnace and between the anvil and the
hammer, and has come forth wholly
fitted for the Masters use.

The Perfect One.

Our Lord, when in the flesh, passed
through the different stages Of hui
man life that He might ~sanctify them
all and show mankind that 1t is posi-
bl. in every estate and condition Of
existence to keep the law of God in
view and to deal justly and humane
ly with ones fellow men. Christ was
the perfect man, though He was more
than mar and not less than God. By
His sinless life He has dignified and
ennobled every earthly relation, and
leaving behind Him a shining and
beautiful examp!:, calls now to all
believing souls to reproduce in their
own experience and conduct the grace
and holiness that shone resplendent
in His unique career.

Wednesday. February 2. 1910.

. These cows have all come fresh in
the last fifteen days except three.
Nearly all the calves are heifers. For
quantity and quality of milk they give,
we have never offered any better than
they are. We can safely say this lot
of cows is the highest testing lot in
butter fat and give more milk than
any lot we have sold. Many of the
cows closed the past years record
clearing from 500 to $125 clear of ex-
pense of feeding. We have sold in the
past fifteen months about 800 cows
in Central Kentucky, which is proof
that the class of cows we select are
certainly giving satisfaction. For I'D
ders. teats and gentleness they cannot
be surpassed. Veterinary certificates
furnished with each COW sold. The
cows are now at Flanagan's stable,
and we will take pleasure in showing
them to any ore who calls. Any pur-
