a Temperance Appeal to Newspapers.
christian Endeavor WORLDLY

tChrlstlan EndcaVOF WORLDLY
The Emmanuel Baptist society. But
falo, n. Y, recently sent a strong TEN
perance appeal to the newspapers of
the city urging them to discontinue
liquor advertisements.
The letter in which the appeal was
made first urges the fact that modern
science has demonstrated that intoxi-
eating liquor is harmful to the indi-
yldual, to posterity, and to society.
Lincoln is quoted against the "blight-
ing curse
Then the letter goes on to state that
the better class of newspapers and
magazines that have thrown out liquor
advertisements testify that they have
lost nothing by their attitude. The
chicago Herald in eight months gained
5000 columns of advertisements and
added $4,000 to its daily circulation,
although it had declined $4,000 worth
of liquor advertisements. The Bovce
WeekIles of Chicago canvassed their
100000 readers, and found so strong
a sentiment against liquor advertise
ments that they threw out this class
of business
Finally the letter quotes several
law cases to show that liquor harmful
~ affects health, morals, and public
safety, and causes crime and misery.
Liquor advertisements, it states, are
often falsehoods, representing the bev
erage as harmless or even beneficial.
Sometimes they are deceptive in form
as well as in substance, paid adver-
tsements appearing as news items il
violation of postal laws.
The letter is a strong, calm arou-
ment, well calculated to win respect
and attention.

An angler, who is proprietor Of a

dence of the following:
While fishing in Deep Creek recent

played it's game of hide and seek the
weary fisherman finally closed in on

looked the water. AS he peered over

to his jaw. 1t held on until two COM

off the assailant with the butt end of
