LIQUOR ALWAYS A WoLAToR.

/ have given reasonably careful
study to the problems Of liquor In all
the states for many years, and my OBJ
servation convinces me that the
liquor business always violates the
law that governs 1t, no matter how
liberal the law may be; and always
goes beyond the limit that the law
permits; and that whenever a strict
er law is passed to check its crimes
the law does good.
The real philosophy and reason for
the prohibition movement lies In the
fact that the liquor dealer is nearly
always law-breaker, his calling the
sure aid always of public privilege
and wrong, the sure dependence al
ways Of the tyrant, and that 1t makes
always for anarchy and crime. In all
the records of history the wine shop
and the tavern have been the rem
devious of criminals and the recruit
ing ground where tyranny and public
privilege have found the henchmen
they would employ to fasten their
evil power on the masses of the peo-
pie, or do the criminal and brutal
things that always serve to repress
the noble aspirations of the toiling
masses.-Hon. Hooper Alexander OF

WONDERED WHY.
Found the Answer Was Coffee"

Many pale, sickly persons wonder
for years why they have to suffer so,
and eventually discover that the drug
-caffeine-in coffee is the main cause
of the trouble.
Il was always very fond Of coffee
and drank 1t every day. / never had
much flesh and often wondered why ]
was always so pale, thin and weak.
About five years ago my health
completely broke down and was con-
fined to my bed. My stomach was in
such condition that could hardly take
sufficient nourishment to sustain life.
During this time was drinking
coffee, didn't think l could do without
it.
after awhile came to the conclu-
sion that coffee was hurting me, and
decided to give it up and try Postum.
When it was made right-dark and
rich-I soon became very fond of it.
'In one week l began to feel better.
| could eat more and sleep better. My
sick headaches were less frequent, and
within five months l looked and felt
like new being, headache spells en-
tirely gone.
my health continued to improve
and today am well and strong, weigh

ALCOHOL NOT AN AID.

Alcohol is not food. 1t does not sup

which at certain periods Of their lives
they are in particular need. On the
contrary the mother of young child
who drinks alcoholic beverages, even
in their mildest forms-beer, ale, and
stout, for instance-runs the risk OF
absolutely cutting off the supply of
food that nature intended an infant
to have. II the supply is not entirely
cut off the quality is so impoverished

The END IN SIGHT.


Because the saloonkeeper lives and
thrives by the sale of liquor" might
well be the prelude to each paragraph
OF the report of the investigation of
dance halls in our large cities, show
ing them to be places of fragrant i'm
morality. With saloonkeepers as
chaperons, with long intermissions be-
tween dances for the sale of drinks
and not drop of water available,
with liquor so accessible that it is al
most impossible for the victims to
resist, the so-called places of recrea-
ton are veritable hot-beds of vice.
Because the saloonkeeper lives and
thrives by the sale of liquor boys and
girls are being lured into these halls,
demoralized In mind and body and
rendered useless to themselves and to
society. Because the saloonkeeper
lives and thrives by the sale of liquor
society sustains each year a vast loss
In efficiency of its members, In large
measure reduces the class from which
1t may expect to secure its future citi-
zens, and utilities the work that is
being carried on by its schools and
churches in the education of its
youth.
Because the saloonkeeper lives and
thrives by the sale of liquor the tax
payer each year is compelled to pay
exorbitant taxes to meet the expenses
of police courts, criminal courts, poor
houses. asylums, jails and peniten.
tiaries, rendered necessary by the le-
galized liquor traffic.
And because the American voter on
election day says, Let the traffic be
regulated and protected" the saloon
keeper lives and thrives by the sale
of liquor. AS long as enough voters
are willing that men should live and
thrive by drink-selling these condi-
tons will continue, and no longer.
The number of voters who are not
willing are increasing every year!
