v. G. 7. U, NOTES

Now that the holiday reason isI
drawing near and the various business.
nrms in the larger cities Are flooding
the country with special catalogues
containing Christmas suggestions, We
find the e~vsr-present, sver.watchful IL
quor dealers are also flooding the
country with their catalogues, Offering
special Inducements for the Christ
mas-brawl. !
1t was suggested to the writer sever4-
al years ago by . national organizer
and evangelist, Anna M. Palmer, that
every time one of these letters entered
the home, . kind personal letter b
written to that particular liquor deal
or stating your position on the liquor
question, and kindly admonishing
him ito quit the evil Of his ways"
We acted upon the isuggsstion and
for eight years have made it . prac.
tics to do this. The results have been
so good that We pass the suggestion
along and ask, yea, urge ell Christian
and temperance workers to begin do
ing likewise, right now.
And why not?
Do they hesitate one moment about
addressing your husband or son? Do
not they invade the ssnctity Of your
home by advertising their goods, and
tempting your family-''putting the
battle" to your lips?
Try it.

Couzins, famous as a lecturer, has
advocated the restoration Of the srmy
canteen and other practical efforts at
REFORM which appear to be most &C.
ceptable to the liquor interests. Many
people we're surprised ct Miss Couz-
ms activity but the secret is now out
and it is told in the following dispatch
carried by the United Press:
Washington, Oct. Ito the fact
that the United States Brewers Asso-
citation paid her 1850 monthly for
years until last January, when it was
suddenly cut off, Miss Phoebe Couz-

cate OF the army canteen, today attri-
buted her sudden descent from luxury
to absolute poverty and threatened
starvation.
