Somewhere along in the early

many citizens. The noise was heard

per cent of the home mission work in
this country, and three-fourths of
the work of the Salvation Army in

light of these statements it is time

the leading cities of the land through

of Intoxicating liquor by a popular
vote. The parliament of Iceland had
adopted a most drastic prohibition
law, which the Tsar of Russia had
refused to sanction. The great plebis-
cite in Sweden had shown that Sc
per cent of the adult population
above IS years of age were in favor
of the entire prohibition of the liquor
traffic, while by means of the local
veto law, both in Sweden and Nor
way, the prohibition of spirits COW
cred some four-ffths of the entire
population. In Denmark a clear ma
jority of the population demanded
local veto so that they might have
power to suppress the liquor traffic,
and arrangements are being made for
or against prohibition. A splendid
lead was being given to the rest of
Europe by these northern countries,
and the example was being followed
for in Germany more than 100000
people had petitioned the Reichstag
in favor of the popular vote. Italy
had had its first governmental inqui-
ry into the great growth of alcohol
ism. For the first time anti-alco-
holic congresses had been held in
Russia and Austria. In Spain Ma
tional Temperance and Prohibition
League had been formed, and in
Switzerland, Belgium and France &C
ton was being taken which would
surely lead to most beneficial results.
In Holland the Dutch Society for the
Abolition of Alcoholic Drinks had
now nearly 10000 branches and a.

ress was being recorded, so that the

One citizen who was awakened by
the noise said it sounded like some
monster airship, with all its exhausts
wide open, passing with the speed of
the wind across the city. Another
said the noise sounded like a ire

not imagine how any steam appa-
ratus in Albany, or all the steam
boilers and engines in the city could
make such tremendous exhaust.

A Warning Against Wet Feet

Wet and chilled feet usually affect
the mucous membranes of the nose,
throat and lungs, and la grippe,
bronchitis or pneumonia may result.
Watch carefully, particularly the
children, and for the racking, stub
born coughs give Foley's Honey and
Tar Compound. 1t soothes the in
famed membranes, and heals the
cough quickly. Take no substitute.
