Oh! friends that Is the point. Now
We have learned that the father and
grandfather mad been moderate
drinkers (not drunkards) and /
told you in the beginning that alco-
hol has special affinity for proto-
plasm and alcohol coming in con-
tact with these great masses of deli
cate little cells and their structural
body in time becomes degenerate and
incomplete. The tissues have been
cooked, warped and twisted and no
longer normal, so in this case the
sins of the grandfather and great
grandfather were visited on the
third and fourth generation.
In fourteen seconds after taking
alcohol into the stomach we find
pure alcohol in the blood stream and
brain, paralyzing the nervous sys-

TEN. They have good time because
the white blood corpuscles, their en-
envy is on drunk and they go tear

Villa did to our American citizens.
Michigan has allowed open 'sa-
looms to exist for many years. Our
citizens in their ignorance have pat
ronize them. Some to excess and
some moderately, until our state in
stitutions are being crowded with
prisoners, insane and ibeciles. The
saloon keeper has had the profit and
we take care of the results by pay
ing our taxes into the state for such.
The Remedy is to get into the
fight and fight until the polls close,

scratch out again. Vote Dry.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Passaic, N. j., Feb. 24.-Two hun
dred and forty persons are homeless
and almost destitute here today as a
result of fire which swept through
the tenement district last night and
early today.
According to the police the first fire
started through quarrel between
two men chopping wood in the cellar
under paint store by candlelight. In
the quarrel the candle was upset, a
mass of rubbish caught fire and in
few minutes the flames had seized
upon the highly inflammable material
in the store and were beyond control.
Most of those who lost their homes
were cared for by neighbors and a
public subscription was started today
to supply them with clothes and food.
The loss is estimated at 100000.
