NO-LICENSE TRIAL AT LADYSMITH
Continued From Page y

there from Ladysmith.
During the campaign last spring
it was frequently asserted that II
Ladysmith voted out saloons, the
farmers would go to Tony and Bruce
to trade because these towns had
saloons How has this worked out?
Jos. Christman, merchant, Tony,
says: "The tide of prosperity has
not forced itself upon us from
business standpoint due to Ladysmlth
having gone dry year ago. May
God speed you in cleaning up Lady
smith, though We and the surround
ing communities suffer as the result.
The time is coming when public SEN
timent will be strong enough to say
everywhere: 1t is bad thing for our
sons and daughters to have these
surroundings and away with the root
of the evil, namely liquor"
NJ e. Spears, merchant, Bruce,
says: "No trade has come to us from
Ladysmith due to Ladysmith having
voted out saloons In fact / know of
several farmers living between La
dysmith and Bruce, who used to com
here to trade when Bruce was dry,
but who do not come here now"
Elmer Peterson, of the firm OF
Peterson and Zehnter, merchants,
Bruce, says: "No trade has come to
us from Ladysmith, due to the city
having gone dry. And very few, if
any, come here now from Ladysmith
for BOOZE"
This has been the hardest year
for business in Bruce for II years.
Saloons do not help any business,
That is why 80 per cent of our bus
mess men would like to see Bruce
go dry
It was repeatedly said last spring
that if Ladysmith voted out saloons,
business would decline and the city
would be dead. How has this worked
out?
Because of the peculiar conditions
in the business world during the
past year, it is not easy to find out
just what part no-license has played
in affecting the business of our city.
While quite few business men have
expressed to the writer the opinion
that no-license has been a decided
help in business, few care to make
statements for publication
But the backbone of our business
+, lies in prosperity among the farmers
and wage earners. If they are thrifty
and prosperous, all will prosper Is
there anything to show that they
have gained financially?
| Investigation at the banks of Lady
smith shows that there has been a
marked increase in deposits since the
saloons closed, and that in spite OF
the general crop failure and lack of
employment last summer. And a

better than any year since / came to
Ladysmith And the most marked
increase came after the saloons
closed. and this in spite of the fact
that there was little work to be had
during the summer Almost all my
customers are wage-earners.
Surely when no-license in such
short time and under such unfav-
orable conditions has cut down the
number of cases of drunk and dis
orderly on the street" to one-tenth,
has reduced the number of dodgers at
the city jail to less than one-half,
has reduced the number OF paupers
to one-twelfth, has increased bank
deposits, has increased thrift and
prosperity among workingmen, and
thereby helped all, has made the
wage Garner more efficient, as these
statistics and statements show, sure
ly such system is the greatest boon
that has ever come to Ladysmlth. 1t
is plainly a wise policy for business
man and wage-earner alike to give
no-license another years trial under
conditions, that it appears, will be
normal We are confident that I'M
der such conditions no-license VIII
prove even more beneficial than dur
ing the past year.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
beeu able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls scatarlh cure
is the oely positive cure now now known
to the medical fraternity. catarrh he
ing a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon tbs blood and mucous surfaces
OF the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so

SO condsiderate with me, and, have
not always been equally considerable of

though it was seventy times seven
they have done so.

for man to refer to the weakness be
