The War on Alcohol,

The celebrated Italian writer and
anti-alcoholist, DR.. francesca Ferrari,
writing in one of the great journals
Of his country, says:
ITO fight a prejudice of any sort is
always to give good battle, but to
fight belief leg. the superstition as
to the value of wine) in the name of
which humanity is being poisoned by
the wholesale, degenerated and given
over to crime, is work which should
be taken up by everyone with social
spirit and love for his fellows. For
this reason we believe that no war
should stir such noble energies and
gather about our flag so many serioUa
men as that on alcohol"

PROGRESS IN GREAT BRITAIN
Brief but Striking Summary of Tenn
perance Work in England During
Past Ten Years.

A bf1ef but striking summary of the
last ten years advance of the tenn
perance cause in Great Britain forms
part Of an interesting article entitled,
The Outlook" published recently in
one of the foremost organs of the
temperance cause in England. The
facts are forcibly summarized in the
following paragraphs:
The decade which has just closed
will always be memorable for the
enormous advances which the tenn
perance movement has made in every
part of the civilized world. It is al
ways difficult to estimate progress in
any political or moral agitation. AS
the seaman can judge of the strength
and direction of a current only by
liking his eye on some remote or sta
tionary object and observing it's ap-
preach or recession, so on the broad
ocean of public opinion a judgment Of
the power of the current which is
floating forward the temperance
question can be formed only by noting
the landmarks which have been pass
ed or the rapidly with which others
are being approached.
The greatness of that advance in
the United Kingdom is indicated.
though by no means measured, by the
marked reduction IN the consumption
of and expenditure on drink which
has taken place Between December,
1899, and December, 1909 there has
been fall in annual consumption of
over 100000 barrels of beer and
over 100000 gallons of spirits, and
there has been drop in the annual
expenditure during the same period
OF no less than &30,O00,000.
This, however, is not the full meas
ure o. the real advance During the
past ten years the national attitude to
the liquor evil has greatly changed,
and nowhere more remarkably than
among the working classes, a result
largely due to the splendid lead"
given by their leaders on this Ques-
ton.
Social reformers Of every school
ale now realizing that behind all the
abuses which they are attacking
stands the great ally of every social
evil which curses the iarNl-the liquor
traffic. Educationists have learned at
last that it is idle to attempt to edu-
cate the child and leave him unwarned
against drug which is the most po-
tent destroyer Of physical, mental
and moral control. and the testimony
OF the medical profession against al
cohol grows louder and more united
every year.
In the realm Of political activity
the advance has been great. In Jan
uary, 1911, there was in power a gov
eminent which was content to be the
servant of the liquor trade In Janu-
airy, 1911, a government holds office
which has shaken itself free from
the Trade" which has dared to defy
the Trade and yet today is in
power by the peoples will with a
great majority-a government elected
by the people with full knowledge
that temperance legislation of an ad-
vanced kind will be among the first
fruits of the legislative harvest

REASONED 1T OUT
And Found a Change In Food Put
Him Right.

A man does not count as wasted the
time he spends in thinking over his
business, but he seems 10th to give
the same sort of caSeful attention to
himself and to his health And yet
his business would be worth little
without good health to care for It A
business man tells how he did him
self good by carefully thinking over
his physical condition, investigating TO
find out what was needed, and then
changing to the right food.
For some years had been bother
ed great deal after meals. My food
seemed to lay like lead in my stomach,
producing heaviness and dullness and
sometimes positive pain. OF course
this rendered me more or less unfit
that something would have to be done,
Reflection led me to the conclusion
that over-eating, filing the stomach
with indigestible food, was responsible
for many of the ills that human flesh
endures, and that I was Furnishing
myself in that way-that was what
was making me so dull, heavy and I'M
comfortable, and unfit for business
after meals. l concluded to try Grape
Nuts food to see what it could do for
me-
81 have been using it for some
months now, and am glad to say that
l do not suffer any longer after meals;
my food seems to assimilate easily
and perfectly, and to do the work for
which it was intended.
81 have regained my normal weight,
and find that business is a pleasure
once moroccan take moro interest in
it, and my mind Is clearer and moro
alert"

A nal package of Munyon's Paw Paw
Pills will be sent free to anyone on re-
quest Address Professor Munyon, SD %
jefferson SITS, Philadelphia, Pa. Ii you are
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Professor Munyon. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will be diagnosed as care
fully as though you had personal inter-
view.
MUNYON'S Par Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatiNss or cathartcs. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour. they do
not grippe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all tina secretions of the liver
and stomach in way that soon puts
these organs in healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most all
ments. There are % feet of humaa
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged tho
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biiousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have clear
complexion or enjoy good health. Ii
l had my way 1 would prohibit the sale
of ninetenths Of the cathartics that arc
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
setting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are tonic
TO the stomach liver and nerves. They
invigorate instead Of weaken; they en-
rich the blood instead OF impoverish
it. they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowels
to act without physic.
