Three days from business is but small
sacrifice to get rid of an appetite that
means ultimate wreck of health and
fortune.
If you have a friend or dear one who
would like to rid himself of the drink
habit, investigate the Neal treatment
which has won deserved national recog-
milton.
The Neal Three Day Drink Cure is
a purely vegetable treatment-entirely
different from any other. There are no
hypodermic injections. The medicine,
perfectly harmless, is taken internally
during the daytime only, and under
the direction of Il regular and thor
oughly competent physician. The treat
ment is simple, and is completed in 20
doses, given in three days This treat
ment is guaranteed to free the patient
for all time from craving or desire for
drink. A bond and contract Is given
each patient, guaranteeing perfect
cure in three days or the return of
the full,cost of treatment and railroad
fare.
The Louisville Institute is quiet,
hofne-like place. The rooms are large
and airy. No better environment could
be secured. Privacy is assured, for
each patient has his own room.
Three days is the limit of the Neal
Treatment. o., the fourth day the pa
tent may return to his duties, and
the greatest comment his absence will
create will be one of surprise at the
improvement in his looks.
Strengthened and invigorated in both
mind and body, with brain clear, eyes
bright, step elastic and feeling fine, he
returns to his business or occupation a
new man, with no craving or desire
for drink.
The directors of The Neal Institute
guarantee satisfactory cure or refund
the money pa and always say: Sat
isfy us of your ability to pay and then
pay us when you, your physician, your
friend or all are satisfied
The Neal Institute always treats all
communications and dealings with its
patients in the strictest confidence.
The Neal Treatment eradicates every
trace of alcohol poison from the sys-
TEN, and supplies the nerve centers
with that vital force which rebuilds
the whole nervous system. 1t puts
the digestive organs into proper shape,
and in three days restores the drink
ing man to a normal mental and phy-
sical condition.

ZIONIST CONFERENCE
SETTLES DIFFERENCES
DR.. 0ppenheimer Urges Extensive
Purchases of Land in
Palestine

BERLIN, July 30.-Instead of a III
recently Zionist conference, which
was largely attended by members of
the international executive including
representatives not merely from the
principal countries of Europe, but also
from Palestine and the United Sttaes
The chief questions that occupied the
conference were concerned with the
government of the organization and the
settlement of various differences that
found expression at the Hamburg con-
gress last December Thanks to the
influence of Alexander Marmorek who
has found fame in the field of racteri-
Ology, a peaceful and gratifying result
was arrived at.
The conference unanimously agreed
that the central executive, which con-
sists of President Wolffsohn (Cologne)
Prof Otto Warburg (Berlin) and Herr
J. H. Kann (The Hague), should be
assisted in dealing with important
questions by advisory committee of
three members. 1t was also resolved
that the next international congress
should take place at the latest in the
summer of 1911, and that until then the
international executive greater actions
committee) should meet at least once
posals was also adopted for submission
to the next congress, the most impor-
tant being the removal of the Zionist
central office from Cologne, where it
has been located the last five years, to
a larger Jewish center Coupled with
this is a recommendation that the CEN
trail executive, which at present con-
sists of three members, each living in
a different city, should comprise from
five to seven members, of whom at
least three should live in the city which
becomes the central office. An appli-
cation from the Order of Ancient Mac
cabaeans, a Jewish friendly benefit as
sociation in England, for the rights of
q constituent federation was deferred
in view of the probable adoption of a
revised constitution at the next con-
gress.
Dr. Franz Oppenheimer, the distin-
guished economist, who has recently
returned from Palestine, presented
report upon his inquiries in regard to
the projected establishment of CO.
operative agricultural settlement, for
which a special fund has already been
started. Dr. Arthur Ruppin, who is in
charge of the Palestine Office in Jaffa,
reported upon the satisfactory develop
nfent of several industrial and educa-
tional enterprises and urged the pur-
chase of land in Palestine on more
extensive scale.

67,131 DRINKING PLACES
(Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, July 30.-More than
$40,000,000 will be required in the large
cities of the United States to pay IL
cense fees, and then some more.
The extent to which the drinking
men help to pay the expenses of gov
ernment in cities is indicated by a CEN
sus report covering the finances of the
country for the year 1908 in the cities
having population of 80 600 or more.
There We're at that time 15S of such
cities, but the complete figures We're
available for only 151 of them, and the
figures showed that in those places the
license in the drinking places paid an
aggregate of $41.950,1SS This was
gain of almost $4,000, 900 from the pre-
ceding year and of about $11, 900, 900
over the year of 1905. The increase
was due to the large fees exacted by
most of the large cities. OF the drink
ing places sanctioned by law there are
no fewer than 67,131 and this is q de-
crease within three years of about 4000
The falling off was due largely to the
fact that a number of cities went
dry" OF the 15S places "a had become
mo license cities when the canvass
was made.
The change was most marked in the
Rocky mountain region. The states
claiming the largest number of saloons
to the population We're Texas, Wiscon-
sin and New York, while Pennsylvania,
Mississippi and Nebraska claimed the
smallest number in proportion to the
people to be supplied. Galveston had
one licensed bar to every 13S of her
people; Milwaukee one to every 141,
and Hoboken one. to every 175. In
Philadelphia, the freest of large cities,
there was one drinking place to only
every 75S people. Lincoln, Neb., had
one to every 203S
The report shows many other in
teresting facts concerning municipal
finances. including the total receipts of
15S cities in question for 1908 were ST.
2S8, 635, ,49S. This figure was made up
from tax receipts, borrowed money and
refunds. OF the total amount, $780,
905, Ala was borrowed.
Liquor licenses and taxes formed
more than 13 per cent OF the general
revenues in the cities of Ohio and more
than 10 per cent in the cities of Cali

"Father and the Boys" is a story of
real heart-interest with Louisville
cS1oring.
After the Neal Institute was opened
at 206 East Chestnut street the earliest
guests We're brothers.
They came to experience the effici-
ency of the three-day cure for the
drink habit
Their father was with them-a fine,
old gray-haired Kentucky gentleman
of the old school.
They have both been good boys .
said the father, but whisky has got
the better of them"
one of these brothers had been pros
porous, but through the drink habit he
lost all his possessions and he didn't
have enough left to pay for his treat
ment. His father paid that.
There was pathos in the coming,
Three days later joy marked their
happy departure.
They left this home-like East Chest
nut street institution and went forth
to take good positions that were wait
ing for them.
Satisfied, contented, with faces aglow,
with restored nerves and manhood re-
gained. 1.-The boys shook hands on one
proposition.
we VIII never WANT tIlS iHOIe
whisky" is the declaration on which
they were united.
This three-day Neal treatment is
miraculous in its results
Victims of drink, with an intense
craving and desire for liquor. are in
three days transformed into creatures
whose appetites have been replaced by
an aversion for liquor quite as strong
as the old desire.
The Louisville branch of The Neal
Institute is one of 30 such institutions
to be found all over the United States
Hundreds of men, prominent in busi-
ness and the professions, who had been
given the name of nervous drinkers"
by their medical advisers, have been
able to rid themselves of the habit
which was impairing their earning
powers and would eventually wreck
their health.
Here in Louisville it is possible to
get rid of the habit in three days.
The Neal treatment is purely ethical.
Surrounded with all the comforts and
privacy possible either in home, hotel
or club, it is possible in three days to
exchange muddle brains, blurred eyes
and shaky nerves for clear vision,
bright mind and invigorated body

ly means to yield to the irresistible de-
sire for before breakfast "bracer,"

This world would be a wonderland.
Strange courses would our lives pur-
sue
Which none of us could understand.
Though each might have his way in
turn,
Destruction would await each scheme
That was set forth for man to learn
And all would be troubled dream
So let us chatter while we may,
Since we are in that pleasant state
Where words are launched upon their
way
AS joyous things of little weight,
Until the time when speech is sure
Well romp the good old grammar
through,
Nor pause to think what we'd endure
