AHANYBIDKD EVIL l$b eduoator is not necessarily u eo- Certaioer, and when we publish facte, hard, cold, unquest'onable facta respect­ ing the countless evils flowing from the foont&in of the liquor traffic, it is not in tended that the reader should find diver­ sion for a leisure hour, bat rather food for re flection, and arguments to convince cad determine. Look at the question on every side and from every standpoint, and Sf-e if you can find one redeeming feature, physica', mental, moral, social, or financial, in the endless chain of results emanating from the one source. , No man was ever made better, his prospects advanced, his condition im­ proved, by patronizing the saloon, fie gets value received for the money spent at the grocery, but that spent for. liquor is worse than wasted. The man, hie family, and society, all are sufferers from this evil. We admit the fact, yet permit the evil to continue ; nay more, we are aware that the government protects and defends the traffic by the strong arm of the law. and shares the profits of the business yet but faint protest is heard. There can be only one' motive for stating the scientific, financial, and so­ cial arguments against the liquor habit and business, viz , to arouse to action those who have it in their power to abol­ ish the whole evil. In the meantime let us all continue to agitate and educate. fill the secular and religious press as far as possible with articles and facts on this question; scatter leafl9ts where they will do the most good, and be ready at all times with the unanswerable argu­ ments furnished by an evil that touches every phase of humane life.

THE REASON WHY There is a why and wherefore for everything. VV HY we wear clothes has gone beyond the realm of discussion. WH®REFORE good dressers prefer to wear garments made by J, D. LODT2, The Merchant Tailor. McHENRY, ILL., Is a matter worthy of explanation. 'The reason is simple and the story is told in few words. It is BECAUSE he makes the ^ clothes strictly to the measure of " the party ordering them. They are trimmed well, they fit Well, preserve their shape, and above all --they wear well. His prices are 4'popular" FOR THE REASON _ that they are reasonable. They are made to lit the pockets as his garments are made to fit the forms of his customers. He guarantees SATISFACTION, and more than that--gives it. He wants your trade and he is ever ready to make it an objcct for you to be with him. Now is the time to call.
