"Do dramshops make business better f,'% or livelier? " is a question that indicates §P ifl!5a superlative degree of stupidity. It is Sl^a layered in the one instance of a sober, ,%ooest, industrious, healthy family. • That means a family prospering and liappy in the highest possible degree. >; If that family begins to sell liquor, it slaughters them like sheep and the fam- ^|ly runs out of existence generally in ^ about two generation#. If the family • ' <jbuys liquor they become intemperate, dishonest, idle and diseased in some members of the household. If not one of them uses a drop of liquor, the dramshop injures their busi­ ness, raises their taxes and insurance, ;/ "flnakes them buy expensive locks and bolts and arms to protect themselves, - ' * %md their property and lives are always ' Unsafe and uncertain anywhere within < '>'t,wenty miles at least of a dramshop or ' ' liquor ston^:-' Whatever may be one's relations to Itha dramshop, it is a robber and a pirate upon every honest business, a tax upon , every citizen, a peril of life and limb to ' i'^very individual and a general wholesale .;%auperiier of the community. Some one says "when high licenced it •; jbuilds sidewalks and paved streets." So v||t does, but it makes the people pay More taxes for jails, police, criminal and v lbivil courts, asylums, tramps, robbers, etc., than it puts into the treasury. And probably for every $500 it puts into the treasury it ruins a boy or de­ stroys a home and curses a whole family. And suppose it did pay for sidewalks and lire engines, etc., and did no harm; what a miserable folly it would be to get revenue it that way--to put a tax of *^jnbout $ 17 on the poor laborer for every •%1 paid of revenue to the treasury. Why not put a direct tax on the labor­ er to save the rich man, and only take 11 a month or so from them and let them -jipend the other f 1(> at the grocer's, baker's, shoe stores and cloth- •••'••ifmg stores, in place of buying drinks to pen*. them to jail and to perdition in the /^next world. The high license teacher or preacher advocates selling the boy and girl out to ihell here and hereafter to raise a revenue. vilenesB which savages and heathens have never dreamed of. But the real secret of their urging the sale of indulgences is probably a desire to be able to gratify their oWli private -love for a little drop in time of sickness :d"and debility and irritating corns and 4 dyspepsia and in cholera time and in cold weather ^d vecy warm days.-California Voice. FAILURES IN LIFE People fail in many ways. In business, in morality, in religion, in happiness, < and in health. A weak heart is often an I unsuspected cause of failure in life. If | the blood does not circulate properly in the lungs there is shortness of breath, asthma, etc.; in the brain, dizziness, headache, etc.; in the stomach, wind, Eain, indirection, faint spells, etc.; in the j ver, torpidity, congestion, etc. Pain in the left side, shoulder and stomach is caused by heart strain. For all these j maladies Mr. Milles' New Cure for the] heart and lungs is the best remedy. Sold, guaranteed and recommended by G.W, Besley. Treatise free.
