The Statewide Prohibition Law of
Kansas-How 1t Was Violated
in the Cities for Years.
The an .ndment reads I:

"The n nufacture and sale of intoxi-

in this state, except for medical, scientific
and mechanical purposes"
The new law took effect May I, 1881.
Notice was served upon the saloons to
60, and not to stand upon the order of
their going. There were about 1900 sa-
looms in the state. Eight hundred OF
these closed their doors never to reopen
them. The others, located in about a score
of towns which were controlled by liquor
sympathizers, remained to fight the new
law.
But every distillery and all except two
or three obscure, local brcweries went
out of business for good and all During
the next few years there was constant
fight wagcd in politics, in the legislature
and in the courts. to recover the ground
which had been lost by the liquor inter.

Compulsory Teaching of the Eff
fects of Alcohol Upon the HUI
man System.

But during these years there was an
other law ON our statute books, of which
scarcely anybody took cognizance, but
which was faithfully obeyed; and which
in time developed force and power to
sweep the last vestige of the licensed
saloon into the Missouri river. 1t was
only a little statute, never printed with
the liquor laws, but which YOU must look
for in the laws relating to the rcgula-
ton of common schools. 1t was enacted
in 1885 and requires that instruction
shall be given in every public school and
to every pupil, concerning the evil effects
of alcohol stimulants upon the human
system Children take as readily to this
kind of instruction as they do to stories
of Blue Beard and Jack the Giant Killer.
Every man, woman and child in the
state under 40 years of age who has at
tended a public school in Kansas has re-
ceived such instruction.
And the procession of this class, pos
sessed of this instruction, keeps coming
into the social, business and political
life of the state, and it will abide with
us. And so it is that our prohibitOry
law, like the moral law, homestead law,
and the law of marriage, will abide while
Kansas endures. 1t is, in my judgment,
in no more danger of repeal than the Ten
Commandments OF the Sermon on the
Mount.

MOST SEVERE COLD
 EASILY BROKEN.
In Just a Few Hours All Misery from Bad Cold or the Grippe Will
 Be Overcome.

Pape's Cold Compound is the result of three years research at a cost of mere than fifty thousand dollars, and contains no quinine, which we have conclusively demonstrated is not eff gective in the treatment of colds or grippe.
 It is a positive fact that a dose of Pape's Cold Compound, taken every two hours until three consecutive doses are taken, will end the Grippe and break up the most severe cold, either in the head, chest, back, stom- ach, limbs or any part of the body.
 It promptly relieves the most mis- erable headache, dullness, head and nose stuffed up. feverishness, sneez- ing, sore throat, running of the nose, mucous catarrhal discharges, sore ness, stiffness and rheumatic twinges.
 Take this harmless Compound as directed, with the knowledge that there is no other medicine made any where else in the world, which will cure your cold or end Grippe misery as promptly and without and other assistance or bad after effects, as a 25-cent package of Pape's Cold Com pound, which any druggist in the world can supply.
