SMOKE IF YOU LIKE.
Preacher says Moderate Drinking Is
Not Wrong.

Asbury Park, n. J., July 6.-Drink-
ing and smoking in moderation are
not morally wrong. in the opinion of
Dr. A. Z. Ballard, president of the
Ocean Grove camp meeting associa-
ton. Nor does the doctor discounten-
ance the use of cigarettes, provided
they are made of good tobacco.
Speaking at the Ocean Grove Tab
ernacle. DR.. Ballard said he was
brought up in a family where liquor
was used regularly and that he had
never had any conscientious scruples
about taking 1t. Many of the minis
ters and others in the congregation
disagreed with the speaker as to
whether there was moral wrong in
drinking, but DR.. Ballard smilingly in
sisted that there was no wrong in the
moderate use Of stimulants. He said,
however, that becoming interested, he
looked into the matter of drunken
ness in the United States and on find
ing such an amount of it, he decided
that for the sake of example, if Moth
ing else, he must stop. With st. Peter,
he believed that nothing of itself was
unclean, but only insofar as it made
our brothers offend did it become
wrong.
Smoked Many Years.
As for tobacco, DR.. Ballard declared
he could see no harm in the use of it.
rs Saiu no Heu DeSL d SAuOhSE uutiA
he was SO years old, having started so
young that he could not remember
how early it was. At the request of
the church, when he was so, that it's
minister give up smoking for the sake
of example. he had stopped it.
DR.. Ballard was asked whether he
countenanced the use of cigarettes and
he replied:
why. I don't see why not, provid-
ing, however. they are made of good
tobacco. The trouble is that a great
many cheap articles are on the mar
ket which contain injurious drugs
not tobacco"
The general sense of the meeting
seemed to be that it was ones duty to
abandon anything the use of which
proved harmful to others

dition to the west end of the struc-
ture at a cost of $4,000.

From I. Gilberg's Shop.

Thieves entered the tailor shop of
Ike Gilberg at S12 Kansas avenue last
night bv unlocking the front hall door
They took two new suits of clothes and
two pair of trousers but did not stop
at the made up goods for the tailor
finds four pieces of goods missing and
one 25-yard bolt of blue serge.
Besides the clothes and cloths taken,
