Temperance Work.

Mr.. Editor: 1t has been pleasing in
deed to read in the newspa pers Of the
great and increased interest and the
work that is, and has been going on
in the temperance cause. There are
both men and women who have no
respect for law nor order and if we
had prohibition in our land they would
not hesitate to get intoxicants at any
risk, but there are thousands who
would never touch the accused stuff
If the rum and beer saloons were not
allowed to sell it. If there is any
truth in 1.-THE passage of scripture,
That the sins of the fathers shall be
visited on the children from the third
to the fourth generation surely they
must descend to the children of the
wholesale and retail liquor dealer.
How any man who was made after
Gods own image can place such stuff
before another and have a aeart and
conscience is not Understandable. If
it were not for the fear of being hung
or receiving life sentence many
more murders would be committed
and though prohibition may not De a
perfect success in all respects and
may fail In some cases, if we have
honest officials, who will do all in
their power to see that the laws are
enforced would not prohibition be
Godsend to all homes and hearts that
have been broken up and crushed by
the traffic? And though it may have
ter for that few to have died than for
the millions to have been hurried to
their graves by it's abuse. I have wit
messed sights on Franklin square that
would make any man who had a heart,
sick and faint, and only in one case
have l eveIs seen another man offer
aid.
Some of the religious fanatics think
and fail to understand why their pray
ers are not all answered when they
pray for the wars to end. Is God go
| ing to bless a land where his laws ate
continually being broken, where am
munition is being sent to the Old
World, that their brethren may con-
tinue to fight to their death: VIII he
protect and bless the men who are
| helping to cast his brethren down,
handing him out poison that is sap
ping all that is good in him? Oh, no,
it's deeds that counts with God, rot
| words. Are all the protesting Chris
tian men voting for rum or against it ?
Women can by their votes put out
and down the aboninable' rum traffic.
Then the better it will be for the
whole world when they all are permit
| ted to vote against the greatest curse
that this world has ever known

GET ACQUAINTED WITH THE

While so much, attention is being
given in this country to the extension
of cur trade to the South American
countries, which ought to be doing a
greater business in normal times with
the United States. it is well to recog-
.niZe that this is not the only direc-
ton in which it is possible to develop
our business with other nations.
1t was only short time. ago that
attention was directed to the need of
reestabiishing a commercial treaty

country has bought extensively here

commercial agent representing that
nation, who is at the present time

why this should not be even. greater

that too few Americans have a knowl-

and trade, Methods but if the effort

seems entirely plausible that this bar

the same that exists in South Ameri-

cold hands and chilly feet; in children
an aversion TO study, and in adults
rheumatic tendencies.
In changing seasons get abundant
