Hardly a day passes that we may not \ Mad la our daily papers of the most hor- *ft»StmjrderB, suicides and other crimes aitted by men maddened .by drink i are constantly occoring through ; oar country as the result of indal- _ in intoxicating drink. And yet the mauulactare, sale and ass of this terrible poison go on, Statesmen insist on making it a source of revenue. Leg­ islators enact laws sanctioning its sale and use. License courts are engaged for weeks every year in designating men of good moral character to keep saloons ' may be "necessary;" * T & • Sfc- BrnnkenuiHNot All ̂ Drunkenness is not all the evil -that comes from the use of intoxicating drink, ife would to God it was. Dr. Sanger, of New York, says, in History of Prostitution, that if a woman drinks she is lost. That not one in a hundred of the fallen women of that city follow their vocation without drink. And he further says, of "two thousand fallen women, who were questioned in relation to the habits of their parents, it was found that 1,452 had drinking or drunken fathers, and 1,125 had drinking or drunken mothers." These statements seem to make it evi­ dent that drunkenness and the social evil spring from the same source. And that the best way to advance the cause of social purity is to do away with the custom of drinking intoxicating drinks. ;• ti • j ^ fjfflft'e will begin the Now ifoar welt bv giving our customers many bargains in fteavy Winter Goods. *'<T: Duck Coat», worth $1.15 , no w 90e. 44 " 44 $1.65, now $1.35. now-fl.Sllv • ' . . . . - , y - that • • | .. •' J--.-ed ElanKets, Horse Blankets, Flan­ nels, etc., at rcduced prices.
