Last week 1 had one of his newsy suggestive letters, in which he says, "We are deeply interested In the ap- proaching election. We think a tem- perance man will carry this riding. + You will expect to find me behind him. | am glad to think that many honest Tories, like myself, are sup- porting dry candidates throughout the province. - Mr. W.

But as Mr. Nickie is running in Kingstog on the dry ticket, I am most heartily in support. Both my friend and myself have been in the prohibition line all our life. We are not youthful now, and we are happy to say, without qualifieation, that we have seen rvelious changes for the better in the drinking snd convivial habits of the people in all sections of the pro- vince; changes so marked, and habits and conditions so Improved that they would have been pronounced impossible sixty years ago, no mat- ter who predicted them. But the drys have had faith in the good cause, and concern for human well- being, and kept on, by precept and example, and Jegislative help, to show the better way. And although there are abuses and ills yet to be removed, the results gained sre highly encouraging. Reform is ne- ver finished. The isste committed to ys In the present election is of vaster import. ance than the political fortunes of any man, or any party in the prov. ince. "God save the people!" But surely, no men more richly deserve the smile and crown of political for- tune than they who lead in a eam- . palgn like this for noble, unselfish ends. Mr. W. F. Nickle is a Tory. So be it. But he is also a convinced friend and advocate of the dry policy. Let us rally round him, and help him to defeat the wet policy of the Govern- ment, and all its broed, for it has always and everywhere been bold and rampant in its mischievous and misleading views, and cruel in its demoralized habits and -actidties. It will be a tragic pity if Kingston fails down this time. Free and independeat electors of "Kingston, men and women, take no stock in the temperance fictions and riatitudes of our wet opponents. hey but "darken counsel by words ----_-- Tossed for Hours | Unable to Sleep Now enjoys rest and slee thanks to Dr. Chase's ' Nerve Food About the surest indication: of exhausted nerves is sleep You may have headaches and in- digestion.

Sir: 1 enclose a cutting from the Mail and Empire of the 13th tmet. | written by Dr. W. A. Maclaren of! 199 Yonge street, Toronto. He states | that the question of government contred hase mot recelved the | thoughtful contsderation i deserves. ! Dr. MacLaren states that the basis of the question is & moral one. It is also a materdal ome. Nature (which i God) had given us sien woudl tions of life--earth, water, ood, | companionship and freedom, fous, dom is the greatest of those condi-| tions. Freedom to love Him, free- dom to hate Him. Man uses God's earth to grow grains, wheat, 'corn, oels, peas, which man uses from dinfancy tol old age. AM of these grains can be | distilled and alcohol produced. ae distiller of corn makes corn whiskey the distiller of barley, whiskey made from this grain. Sir you see that nature has made in the grain the | element alcohol which is adopted to bulld end strengthen and give health to every man, woman ang! child living. The probibitionist is breaking God's law and will have to bear the consequence. Freedom of choice does mot make pérfect obedience. The law, and courts, and judges and juries, have been, and will be, to punish the disobedient. God has piven us freedom to love Him, for blessings in science by miscroscope and telescope, and évery thoughtful man sees wonders yet to come from discoveries in radio and wireless, because dre has freedom. Sincerely yours, R. J. DRUMMOND. Gananoque, Nov. 22, Replies to Dr. Aykroyd. Sir-- What we have we will hold is the paramount theme of the letter of Dr. 8. A, Aykroyd which appear- ed in the Dally British Whig on Nov. 17. May 1 first ask what have we to hold in the O.T.A. The O.T.A is an imposter upon the freedom of civilization. I can recall no country listed updn the civilized role where one is forced to secure a prescrip- tion from a doctor before being per- mitted to ®btain liquor for medici- nal purposes (only) and then have the medicine handed to you in forty ounce "medicine" bottles. Further I can never recall such a disease- stricken population where Ontario uses such vast quantities of liquor to combat the deadly enemies. In the cholera Infested cities of Germany, namely Hamburg and Luebek, where forty thousand victims succumbed, we relate the fact that liquor was used freely but judiciously. Dr. Aykroyd claims that prohibi- tion commenced in the Garden of Kden, yes 1 agree upon the origin of the word prohibition but not in its application to the use of liguor, May I quote the story of the wed- ding feast where Our Lord and Sav- four performed the miracle and made wine from water. Did our Lord and Savious perform this act for the detriment of humanity. No, never. He said to be temperate in all things. Dr. Aykroyd claims also that prohibition like liberty is not abso- Iuté™mit inconsistent prohibition is infringing upon personal liberties. The one who indulges in alcohol too freely abuses Himself only and why shall the one who is temperate suf- fer with the guilty. The O.T.A. as {it stands today has brought more, suf- fering than any previous act ever put upon a statute book. Puasyfoot vocate, claimed that prohibition conld only be enforeed through thé aid of spotters, liars and perjurers. Any law which has to resort to the vile assistance of such reptiles is far better to never have become law in any country. I appeal to my broth- era, and sisters to mark their bal- jots for the extinguishing of the O.T.A. irrespective of what political party they represent. Mr. Avkroyd stated the. O.T.A. was not perfect but nevertheless asks the public to endorse it and in so doing is add- ing insult to injury. Carola Hamm, Kingston, Nov. 22. The term of Lieut -Governor CR Dr Te a Jan. Sth.

He turned the first cor-| { per he came to and disappeared. "Now what do you suppose he'll be doing fiext!" cried Nancy, stamp- ing her foot. "Qh, look at th» three dirty chil- dren!" called out a litte boy. "You'd tter go home and get washed." Nancy and Nick and Johnny {| Sweed ran down the street as fast) as they could go. They didn't like | to be called dirty. : What was the use of their wash- | ing as long as they had to chase up| and down chimneys after a naughty goblin. "Well, he's gone!' cried Johnay Sweep. "We may as well hop on my broom and see if we can follow his footprints when he gets out of town.' When Snitcher Snatch reached the | corner, he stopped for a minute for | breath." His long nose was very red from ru ing so hard. Besides he bad bumped it on the swinging door in his hurry to get out. "That gave him an idea at once.| For Snitcher Snatch was as smart | as u college professor. "1 know! I know!" he sang out,! loing a heel and toe dance in his joy. 1 "I'll go to a beauty parlor. There's one across the street." So he went over and looked in But you had to go up in an elevato and he knew very well that no ele vator man was going to let a goblin in.

She looked a sight. B But even while the goblin was | starizcg at her another person came along and said, "Mrs. Smith, you're, all done now. The beauty clay is dry and I'll take it oft." And when the clay came off, there was Mrs. Smith as good as ever, her face as clear and pink as a fresh rose. "Well, I never," gasped Sniteher | "That's the first time I ever heard of mud making your face clean!" Then he had another thought. A terrible one! "Oh, Jimminy!" he sald to himself. "I know some lovely mischief I can get into. If only that Sweep And the Twins don't find me for a while. I can have a lot of fun." And he went up the chimney again, humming a happy tune. HIGHWAYS ENGINEER 70 ADDRESS COUNCIL With Regard to Warden's De- mand for Resignation of R. H. Fair. At Tuesday's opening session of the County Council the question arose about the resignation of R. H Fair, County Road superintendent, which had been asked for by Warden C. J. Graham, and without discus sion the matter wes lad over until Thursday afternoon, when an em- gineer from the Department of Highways will likely be at the council meeting to discuss the situation.
