fects of Booze on Humanity
and Make Plea for
Prohibition.

War against Kaiser Booze and war
against Kaiser Bill were dominant
themes in the illustrated lecture ION
| the Battle Fronts of Humanity" given
! by Burton L. lockwood of Detroit, at
the First Baptist church last night.
Motion pictures, messages from the
speaker and patriotic songs combined
in the program Of the evening. The
lecture which was given under the
auspices of the Keokuk Woman's
Christian Temperance union was at
tended by about 200 people. Nearly
all the churches were represented at
the meeting.
I'VE have many examples in his
tory of courage shown on the battle
field" said Mr.. lockwood, "but how
much grander is courage born of
spiritual faith.
Thirty percent Of the breweries in
this country are owned by men in
Austria Hungary and in Germany.
Let's get back Of this fight to kill
Kaiser Booze along with Kaiser Bill.

at is wonderful to be courageous,
to stand on the battle fronts Of all
humanity for homes and home fires.
What we want is the courage to
stand on the battle fronts against
booze. One Of the duties of We people
who stay at home while others are
at work is to work for prohibition
Influence must be exerted that thirty
six states ratify the amendment to
the national constitution. Enough
states must pass the prohibition
to make national temper
ance permanent thing. l ask you
tonight to do your share in accom-
plishing this work"
Invitation for New Members.
At the close of his lecture people
were asked to add their names to
the membership roll of the w. C.

his lantern slides getting them to be-
have. The pledge of allegiance to
the flag was recited by the audience
from slide thrown on the screen
and a number of patriotic songs were
sung.
In the first set of pictures the sub
jects savored bit of having lived
in civil war times. Motion pictures
last shown pictured various activi-
ties in war camps of today. Many
who went to the lecture on the adj
vance statements of the management
that 1t was to show excellent pic
lures of the present war were dis
appointed at being drawn to a tenn
perance lecture, and some young
people Uttered good deal at the
screen views and other features OF
the lecture.
