Dr. Elisha Harris, who ia not only tt- phynidfta, but also corresponding seem* •|f;:• tary of the New York Prison Association, ^ and the most thorough student of crimif |? nai matters in our country--shows botlfc physiologically and statistically that al- " f oohol directly intensifies t.J»e tendencies of men to steal, set fire to buildings, violate !' chastity, and destroy life. v - I)r. Harris tells us that "about eighty- ! two per cent, of the convicts in the United' ; % States privately confess their frequent in­ dulgence in strong drink, and give ovi- deuce of having in some large degree beeii prepared or enticed to do criminal acta because of the physical and distracting i effects produced upon the human organ- j imn by alcohol." This effect is recognized even by the Mayors of rum-ruled cities who in time of r§ot*and excitement send forth absolute prohibitory law in regard to the sale of ' alcoholics. This direct connection of rum and crime as cause and effect has been declared hundreds of time by every grade Of Judges, from our police justices to s Judge Davis of New York, and others of equal fame iu Fngland and America, who unitedly testify that alcohol is the root of more than three-fourths of the crime recorded in their courts. . ?, '! *;"v ' II ORsnsTiNa We have sealed up a quart fruit can which we first filled with Iteuns and we make this ofler: To the pers >11 who. guesses the exact num'ier the ein contains, we wil 1 give P îrbaHK,S SAI4TACLAI^»SQAR ' t h e b e s t i n t h e w o ^ FOR ALL HOUSEHOLD AND LAUNDRY PURPOSES. ̂ MADE ONLY BY r fAiRBANK'5 SANTACLAUS N.K.
