The endless germ theories nova
DAYS make some of us older fellows
think of the times when p boy
would bring a big apple to school,
PASS it around for 2 half dozen other
boys to take a bite and there would
be a scrap for the core. No fear of
germs then, and no doubt some OF
those boys are writing the current
scientific articles on the subject.

A STANTON PREACHER TESTTFTES

The Stanton Leader quotes the sermon OF
a minister of that city who on last Sunday
evening denounced the saloon and deplored the
conditions that had followed its establish
ment
Among other things he called attention to
the fact that when Staunton dry the chain
gang was recruited mainly FROM the ranks of
tramps who were taken from the trains and
forced to work on the streets. Now thTt the
saloon is doing business again the chain gang is
recruited from the drunks who have net suf-
fcient funds TO pay their fines
The preacher denounced this outrage:
this forcing men TO appear on the streets wear
ing tails and chains and branded with dis
grace because they had fallen victims to the very
institutions that the people OF stanton had set
for their ruin and because they CHANGED to be
