Out OF total OF ,47S prisoners in East
ern Penitentiary OF Pennsylvania, ZOOS
have signed petition that seeks to have
the liquor traffic in the State obliterated.
This is, without question, the strongest
sociological argument ever made for
Statewide prohibition. With each sig
nature to the unique petition is a story
teeming with sorrow brought about by
liquor. ",Ghe petition is an appeal TO the
decent men OF Pennsylvania TO wipe out
an evil that has wrecked more homes and
careers than any other vice known to
man," was the terSe comment OF Warden
McKenty. AS an argument the SignerS
cite their own lives and relate how the
saloon is responsible for their present
condition. The petition was signed by
virtually 70 per cent of the convictS, who
are willing to 90 before any legislative
committee and tell in their own way how
the saloon wrecked their lives and broke
the hearts OF mothers, sisters and sweet
hearts.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Genuine Merit Required To Win The
Peoples Confidence.

Have you ever stopped 10 reason why
if is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
OF sight and are soon forgotten ? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises OF the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real cur
alive value almost sells itself, as like an
endless chain system the remedy is rec
commended by those who have been ben
Gifted, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DIR. Kilmer'S Swamp-Root, a
preparation have sold for many years
and never hesitate TO recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many OF my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that know OF
has so large sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who have
used the preparation. the success OF DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due TO the fact
that il fulfils almost every wish in over
coming kidney, liver and bladder dis
eases, conectS urinary troubles and neu-
tralizes the uric acid which causes rheu-

WhSkey caused hideous crime last
Sunday night near Salisbury, Md. JOS
eph Darby and George Stops, two
white men, had been drinking heavily Tor
several days, and when Ben GoSlee, an
old colored man, came past Darby's house
they invited him to step in and have a
drink. After getting the old negro drunk
they poured coal oil on him and applied
a match, saying they wanted to see him
move. Before the neighborS could put
out the flames the old man was fatally
burned. He was rushed to the hospital,
but died in a few moments. When seen
at The Jail Darby admitted he poured oil
on GoSlee and then set fire to it, but that
he was drunk and only did il as joke.
Stops says he was too drunk to remem-
ber anything. The old man, who was
well known as "Uncle Ben" and re-
spected by both white and colored peo-
pie in that section, said just before he
died that he knew Of no reason for the
crime, as he considered the men his
friends.
