Gnats and Camels
Henry Simpson, in Epworth Herald

person having under his charge, any
crop of potatoes, or other crop, or
vegetables, or substance, finds, or
knows to be found thereon, the Colo
RADIO beetle, in any state of existence,
he shall, with all practicable speed,
give notice of the fact of the same be-
ing so found, to a constable of the
police establishment, for the place
where the same is found. The con-
stable shall forthwith give notice
thereof to the local authority, and the
local authority shall forthwith give
notice thereof, by telegraph to the
Privy Council" The fine for a viola
ton of this order was ten pounds,
English currency.
A comparison Of this very alert and
patriotic effort of the government to
exclude the potato bug from the land
with the shocking statistics indicating
the relation of public sentiment to the
manufacture and general use of spir-
ituous liquor, only leads to the
thought that this is another case of
the gnat and camel.
Much is heard, just now, concern
ing arbitration, and the prevention of
war. But it is affirmed that the drink
habit, each year, destroys ten thou
sand more people than war. When
the time does arrive at which the civil
government will have the real interest
of the people in view, honor will re-
quire that its greatest skill and au-
thority shall be unrelentingly en-
ployed to uproot the known cause of
the greatest misery and ruin of both
body and soul, known on earth.
The manufacture and sale of rum
in its various forms, is the DEVILS
tried agency for hindering Christian
evangelism. The mans forward re-
ligious movement, without reference
to any politics whatever, will recog-
nize that, the history of many
churches throughout the country
shows that the nearer approach to
entire abstinence from the habit of
Incorporate indulgence in COM
munity, the greater evidence is found
of real religious conviction and ex-
perience If the saloon discourages
virtue and leads to vice and crime,
then, to utterly destroy it should be
an imperative religious duty.
Can't Make 1t Respectable.
Experience teaches the folly of any
attempt to make the saloon respect
able Even were it possible to lessen,
in the thought of the public, its dis
grace and responsiveness, it would be
almost criminal to do so, since its
evil influence would only be increased.
In a town there was one saloon of
so offensive a sort that the ladies

al elHlCdl purpose. FOR size and
consequence, few animals could be
brought into such hopeless contrast
as these mentioned above. Insig-
nlhcance and endurance are far from
identical.
Oriental conditions throw light upon
the passage in which these are con-
trasted, as it fell from the lips of
Jesus. AS articles of food, both the
gnat and camel were regarded as
unclean
The traveller in the east will have
observed that his thirsty guide hest
tates to drink the impure water which
the country too often furnishes. He
will, therefore, carefully strain the
fluid through his thin veil or head
dress, SO that he may not swallow the
poisonous insects Thus he may be
said to strain at, or strain out the
gnat.

repeats itself. Human nature is much

There are grouped together, quite
in excess, number Of liquor saloons
in a street through which we must

added to the offensive number.
The only response to criticism and

which was lighted by means of sky
light in its ceiling, was approached
through a waiting room furnished
with newspapers and decorated with
beautiful plants. The bar and some
pool tables were in the room beyond.

In another town, man secured
license to sell rum against the protest
of the community. He located just
outside the limit of the two hundred
foot rule, in his proximity to our
church building. His place was a
menace to some very large factories
in the neighborhood, filled with work
ingmen. The case seemed a serious
one.
Helped by the Church.
The opportunity came. A mass
meeting was called in the church
Good speakers and music drew to-
gether large number. The real in
terests of the community of homes
were explained. A total abstinence
pledge for one year was presented to
the people. A very large number
signed it. They were willing to abb
stain for one year for the sake OF
others. In less than a year [ was
told by the saloonkeeper that he was
beaten; and he said: Il will give up
the business if | can find other work.
The church helped him and secured
him good place as janitor Of large
public school, which position he re-
tanned as long as he lived. In the
meantime his family came into the
church and his little children were
christened 1t is right for the church
to help men to be good, as we'll as to
condemn their bad ways.
We must do what we can, only with
the positive conviction that it is the
sentiment of the real good citizen in
our own land-and is becoming the
sentiment of men of power in pagan
lands, that the saloon, and all of its
kind, must go.
Meanwhile, awaiting the precipitat
ing of crisis which shall reveal some
Abraham Lincoln to emancipate the
oppressed throughout the world, let
us keep in mind three things.

than the saloon and the drink habit

Yellow Writing Paper Easy on Eyes.

Yellow Writing Paper Easy on Eyes.
Oculists have often called attention
to the fact that the eyes are easily
fatlgued by the reflection from white
paper, especially when the surface is
under strong light. Since green is
known to be the color most restful to
the eyes, it is common practice to
use wall papers and draperies of that
color IN libraries and private studies.
For writing paper, however, green il
an unsatisfactory color. It imparts a
reddish appearance to the writing. and
makes it hard to read.
Yellow writing paper is not open to
the same objection. In strong day.

AWAY. WITH CATARRH
A FILTHY DISEASE
A Common Sense Treatment Quick
ly Relieves All Distressing
Symptoms.

If you have any symptoms of ca
tarrh, such as stuffed up feeling in
the head, profuse discharge from the
nose, phlegm in the throat, causing
hawking and splitting, dull pain in
the head, or ringing in the ears,
just anoint the nostrils or rub the
throat or chest with a little Ely's
Cream Balm, and see how quickly
you will get relief.
In just a few minutes you will
feel your head clearing, and after
using the Balm for a day or so the
nasty discharge will be checked, the
pain, soreness and fever will be gone,
and you will no longer be offensive
to yourself and friends by your con:
slant hawking, splitting and blowing.
Shake of the grip of catarrh be-
fore it impairs your sense of taste,
smell and hearing and poisons your
whole system. In short time you
can be cured of this distressing dis
ease by using Ely's Cream Balm.
This healing, antiseptic- Balm does
not fool you with short, deceptive
relief, but completely overcomes the
disease. It clears the nose, head and
throat of all the rank poison,
soothes, heals and strengthens the
raw sore membranes, and makes
you proof against catarrh. .
One application will convince you,
and fifty cent bottle will generally
effect complete cure. Get it from
your druggist and start the treat
ment at once

BEES AT WORK ALL THE TIME
In Many Localities There Is No
Closed Season for Those In
defatigabIe Laborers.

Although bees are apt to turn out
on any sunshiny day, the bulk OF their
work is done by the first of Novem-
Der and they have retired for their
winters sleep. The beekeeper must
now put cushions into the tops of
the hives, taking only what honey he
is sure can be spared by the bees,
and leave them for their Information.
In Florida there is no such work to
do, says a writer in Outing. The bees
work all winter, and they have as
good feed in February and March as
they do in July. The orange orchards
are alive with the honey gatherers,
and their buzzings blend into almost
a roar in March, for that is when the
orange flowers are open; but it must
be confessed that the honey has a
twang, something like the acidity OF
an orange, and it does not compare at
all with that made from the bass
wood.
Besides the orange there are sue
cessive coverings of legumes of all
sorts all the year, every one having a
positive flavor and very few of them
giving to honey familiar flavor. Yet
Florida is natural home of the bee,
and honey in the southern states will
yet become as familiar a product as
cane sugar.
In the Mississippi valley and else
where professional beekeepers carry
their hives to the south to meet the
coming of the flowers early in the
season, turning around toward the
north and carrying them to gather the
later sweets from later Towering ap-
pies and berries. In this way, or by
carrying them up and down mountain
sides, the feeding spells on clover or
Eastwood and other trees can be
greatly heightened.
