car, which was going about twenty five
miles an hour, suddenly skidded and
turned completely over in the middle
Of the road, throwing Mr.. and Mrs.
King underneath the car Mrs. King
managed to free herself and crawl from
beneath the car, but it required the
help of occupants in a passing auto
mobile to released Mr.. King, who was
hurried to the Dcaconess hospital

addition to being badly bruised he had
received several fractured ribs. and, 1T

TEMPERANCE NOTES
HELPS FURNITURE BUSINESS.
(Bg the National Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union)


The News-Leader of Richmond, Va,
testifying to the benefits of prohibition,
quotes furniture dealers of that city /:
For the seven months before prohi-
bition went into effect we averaged
eighteen cases a month where we had
to take back furniture on which people
could not pay the installments due,
said one furniture dealer. "Since pro-
hibition became law, we have had only
twenty-one returns, three g month. In
other words, we had six times as many
returns before prohibition as since the
saloons We're closed
A second man In the same business
said: MY books are open to inspec-
ton. They will show that since pro-
hibition went into effect, my collections
have averaged so per cent more a
month than they did before November
I, 1915"
"Who can measure the happiness,
the creature comforts and.th improve.
ment in home life these two statements
disclose" queries the News-Leader.
"Who can guage the waste prevented
and the thrift encouraged? Who can
reckon the children clothed, the homes
made bright, the wives made happy,
the burdens 1ifted?"

The most dangerous principle upon
which the saloon is built is this: II

of men whose passion for liquor has
been developed. but, with the cunning
which only the lust fcT money can in
spire, it is fashioned to teach a new
generation to drink. Under the law
of life, the men already enlisted in the
army of drink will be dead within the
limit of twenty years. The slogan OF
the saloon is, New recruits! New re-
cruits I" AS a hundred thousand men
drop out of the ranks, hundred thou
sand new recruits are made. Never a
manned and bruised and dying man
falls out of the ranks. that the saloon
Is not ready with new recruit, and

FROM a NEW ANGLE.

Y H0m - NEW fAfNSkEs
A Spokane (Wash.) paper tells this :
"a man went out to buy a hammer
in a secondhand store. He couldn'i
find what he wanted, so visited one
pawnshop after another, and still failed
to make a purchase. His curiosity
was aroused, as he had been &C.
customed to pick up valuable me-
chanic's tools in this way for mere
song. So he said to one pawnbroker
Let me see your entire stock Of tools
may find something that want"
The man replied, 81 have very few
now"
what do you mean? Don't working
men come in to pledge their kits foI
money to tide them over?
'Not since the state went dry. Mer
mostly are sober, and have good jobs
and want to hold onto their tools"
