Nov Is the time to get on the wa

This has been proved by careful scien-

points on which the laboratory men

resuming the state sale of liquors are
unfounded. | declare categorically
that the government will encourage
temperance after the war, also, and
that any return to the old state of af.

This bill already has met with the
