LIVES EMBITTERED
 BY SKIN TROUBLES

Many estinable lives have been embittered by skin afflictions, due, i'll most cases, to neglect i'll in fancy and childhood. Delicate skins readily become irritated and severe eruptions develop.

AT OUR BEST.

 They who in life the most attain Their cause on weakness never rest. Those who the highest levels gain Seek to be always at their best Man is of many sided mold. And yet our lives this much attest: We have within the power to hold Ourselves the nearer to the best. The man we dread the most to meet When comes the hour our strength
 to test, Is he with whom we must compete. whose powers are always at their
 best The reason that our work is weak And not upon the age impressed, Is that we do not always seek To keep ourselves up to the best. Then deem thy strengeh of mighty
 worth,
 Nor hold thy weakness as a jest; They who the most have blessed the
 earth
 Have always done so at their best

Temperance Prize Essays

The second prizes in the Rock Is
land Woman's Christian Temperance
Union essay contests were awarded to
Beatrice Vanderberg and James
Hughes. The essays are as follows:
By BEATRICE VANDERBERG.
A temperance man always makes a
good citizen for his mind is clear ana
Sound and he has healthful body.
Therefore he has the ability to per
form his duties and care for those
that are depending upon his support
A temperance man always can be
trusted and relied upon, for his
brain is clear and sound.
The men that use alcoholic drinks
are always dull and supplied
He becomes careless, negligent and
sndolent- If he has a family they al
ways suffer. Therefore he does not
make a good citizen The mer-
chants will always trust a temperate
man, because he puts his money TO
good use.
The curse of drunkenness on the
side Of its physical devastation has
been abundantly depicted by the ad-
vocates of the temperance reform.
THE amount of grain consumed in
the manufacture of intoxicating Ii
quors; the number Of men whose Ia
Dor is worse than wasted in produc-
ing and in vending them; the num-
Der of lives destroyed by them; the
number of paupers and insane persons
whose woes are traceable to this
source; the effects upon the health of
individuals-all of these things are
frequently set forth with sufficient
fullness in impressive rhetoric. Some
allowance must be made for the over
statements of Jealous advocates, but
there are facts enough of an appall-
ing nature in these representations 10
call for the most serious thought.
But the worst side Of drunkenness
is not that which appears in these IA
miliar figures
The most frightful effects of the
drink habits are not those which can
be tabulated in statistics and reported
In the census.
1t is not the waste of corn, nor the
destruction Of property, nor the in
crease Of taxes, nor even the ruin of
physical health, nor the loss of life,
which most impresses the mind Of
the thoughtful observer of inebriety.
II is the effect of this vice upon the
character of men as it is exhibited to
him day by day in his ordinary inter

course with them. 1t is in the
spiritual realm that the rayages of
strong drink are most terrible
Body and mind are so closely re-
lated that when the one suffers that
others must share the suffering, and
the injury to the physical health re-
sulting from intemperance drinking
must therefore be accompanied by
similarizing Of the mental and moral
powers.
But the inclination of the popular
thought is so strongly toward the in
vestigation Of the physical phenom-
ena that the spiritual consequences
OF drunkenness are often overlooked.
Degeneration of tissues is more pal
pablo than degeneration of spirit,
lesion OF the brain more startling
than breach of faith, but the deeper
fact, of which the senses take no
note, is the more important fact, and
1t would be well if the attention of
men could be fixed upon it.
The phenomena to which we have
referred often report themselves to
the quickened perception of those
who stand nearest to the habitual
drinks.
Many a mother observes with
heart that grows heavier day by day
the sign OF moral decay in the char
acter Of her son. 1t is not the flush
ed face and the heavy eyes that trou-
BILE her most; it is the evidence that
his mind is becoming duller and
fouler; his sensibilities less acute, his
sense of honor less commanding. She
discovers that his loyalty to truth
is somewhat impaired, that he de-
ceives her frequently and with COM
junction.
This effect is often observed in
the characters OF the inebriate.
Truthfulness is the fundamental
virtue; when it is impaired the char
acter is undermined and strong
drink makes a deadly assault upon it.
Coupled with this loss of truthful
ness is that weakening of the will
which always accompanies chronic
alcoholism.
The man loses, little by little, the
mastery of the regar faculties are in
chains.
The loss of self-respect, the lower
ing of ambition, and the fading out
of hope are signs of the progress of
this disease in the characters.
1t is a mournful spectacle-that Of
the brave, ingenious, high-spirited
man sinking steadily down into the
degradation of inebriety; but how
many such spectacles are visible all
over the land.
And it is not in the characters of
thOca alone who are notorious drunk
ards that such tendencies appear:
they are often distinctly seen in the
lives of men who are never drunk.
