The exterior of this house presents
a massive appearance considering It's

of the house. This is an unusual eff

gives a pleasing impression. Another
attractive feature of the front porch
is tie white railing with its heavy pill
lars on each side of the stairs and the
large square columns at the corners.
These pillars and columns are in

TRAVELLERS WANT PROHIBITION.

Years ago the travelling man got
many orders by taking his customers
out and buying them drinks. In fact
the system was highly approved and
commonly employed. But now comes
the Iowa Union Of Commercial Trav-
elers, in convention assembled, and
calls for national prohibition. The
very men who used to be regarded as
the friends of liquor are now its enc
mics. Why? Because they know the
saloon business cripples trade, and
when trade is crippled travelling men
can't sell goods. Any travelling man

A BIT OF HISTORY.

~
The revenue system by which the
United States became partner in the
liquor business originated during the
Civil war In order to prosecute the
war to free four million slaves, the
congress of the United States passed
a bill putting a high tax on liquor.
When the bill had passed both
houses, Salmon P. Chase, secretary of
the treasury, brought it to President
Lincoln for his signature. Chase"
said Mr. Lincoln, II would rather have
my right arm taken off than to sign
that bill, but I reckon I'll have to do
it. You say it is necessary to carry
on this war to free those human
slaves. We have got to do it. But
tell me, Chase, will you promise, and
will congress promise, to repeal this
bill as soon as the war is over?"
Chase promised.
But at the close of the war and
before the promise could be redeemed,
President Lincoln was assassinated
and the promise forgotten. Doubtless
had Lincoln lived the country would
not today be under the domination of
the legalized liquor traffic.

BEER A POISON.

The man who uses a quart of beer
daily expends enough for it to buy
three loaves of bread for his family,
says DR.. Winfield Scott Hall. He gets
for himself a trivial amount of nour-
ishment worth half cent and incl
dentally takes into his system nearly
two ounces of a narcotic poison, the
influence of which is to make him
less alert and therefore more amen
able to accidents. to make him less
efficient and therefore more likely to
lose his job. and to make him more
likely to suffer from toxins and IN
fections.

1t seems strange that the world has
not done more with singing. that is,

which they sing songs of the father
