Delightful S«rfon»«Mrajf».; A ceoaaiodailoM In the last 30 years 4(xi ,000 men have been saved from the drink habit by the Keeley Treatment. They were hopeless, despairing--down and out! NOW they have happy homes and families--they have taken a new, fresh start. The sun is shining again! "Drunkenness Is a Disease and I Can Cure It" Dr. Leslie E. Keeley startled the world, thirty-two years ago, with this famous statement. Physicians were incredulous. Millions jeered and scoffed. BUT IT WAS TRUE! Nearly everyone knows--now--that it is useless to abuse or upbraid a man who drinks to excess. His own con­ science does that daily, hourly. He is a sick man and can no more cure him­ self than can a man suffering from smallpox or brain fever. Yet he can be saved! You, who read this, can help him! WE CAN CURE HIM! What* Then, Is the Liquor Disease? It is an altered condition of the nerve cells, caused by the excessive use of alcohol, wherein the nerves have become trained to feed on it, and will not do their work except undery its influence. The "craving" or appetite for liquor is not the disease. It is merely the symptom of the disease just as a cough is a symptom of some irritation or inflammation. When the disease is removed the craving for drink disappears just as the cough disappears when the cause of the trouble is removed. The World-Famous "Keeley Cure" The Keeley treatment--known the world around as the "Keeley Cure"--is simply the application of reconstructive nerve tonics which remove the artificial alcoholic appetite of the nerve cells and restore them to a natural, healthy condition. The treatment produces no sickness or nausea. It requires no restriction or con­ finement of patients. It leaves absolutely no ill effects. The Keeley treatment can be had ONLY at the Keeley Institute, Dwight, Illinois, or at its official branches, of which there is one or more in almost every state. Any claims to furnish the Keeley treat­ ment in any other way are false. Results of the ••Keeley Cure" The effect of the Keeley remedies is to absolutely destroy the craving and appetite for drink. The man who takes the Keeley treatment is no longer called on to fight an appetite. The desire and necessity for alcohol are gone. And the cure lasts/ Hear what men say who have been saved! "This is the twentieth anni­ versary of my reincarnation and release from the bondage of the Demon Rum. Completely cured --the accursed appetite never to return.1 versaryof my graduation at Dwight. Nomjif ter what rises, I never think of whiskey." "Words cannot express what I feel in m soul for the God-given saving institute Dwight, 111. I haven't the least desire for drift any more than if I had never tasted it." We have many, many thousands of letter like the above. We never publish names We will however refer you, with their con sent, to men who have been cured.

QUARTER OF A CENTURY. Vorth Crystal Lake Herald: "We have heard more cry from local bu§£ ness men about 'bad accounts' of late than ever before. Every day one who generally makes the rounds of the business houses in Crystal Lake can hear tales regarding slow collections. "As long as the local merchants do not organize there will be more credit granted than there should be. We know people in Crystal Lake who are supposed to be doing 'big business'-- and they ire. But for a lot of the stuff they sell they are not being paid. "We do not believe there is a single business man in Crystal Lake who is getting rich rapidly. Of course there are businesses which are paying living profits and some which pay perhaps more, but there are some which are lucky if they show a profit. "Too much credit is ruining some of our local business. People who never did pay and never will are being hand­ ed a line of credit hundreds of dollars too far. We have some real, live 'dead beats' in this beautiful community of ours, and as long as they buy from our business men just that long will our business men get 'stung.' "An organized association of local business hoi^es is the only move that can put a sound stop to these abuses. There are such associations right here t.r. The members work i in success.

Between forty and fifty numbers were out. Jos. Gilles showed us two large Jack rabbits, last week, sent to him from Minnesota. They weighed over six pounds each and were as white as snow. Tobogganing has struck MeHenry. Owen Bros, are putting up a slide which will be ffeady for use on Satur­ day of this weak, when everybody will have a chance to try this popular sport. The body o f William Snow, who was killed in Chicago, a notice of which we gave last week, was brought here on Tuesday evening and the funeral was held at the residence of Jos. Fitz- simmons on Thursday morning, and his remains taken to Wauconda for interment. Ho was killed by being run over by a train in the railroad yards a& Chicago.

Those present declared all programs of former years were eclipsed by the one this year. Many people from Chi­ cago and from parts of Lake county went to Fox Lake for the express pur­ pose of attending the exercises. The school room was appropriately decorated in green and holly wreaths. In either corner of the big stage, which had been constructed in the front of the school room, were large Christ­ mas trees, trimmed in the best of style, donated by N. Greuter. The stage and school room were lighted by electric lights, on two switches, one switch working the lights on the stage and the other the lights in the audience. The program numbers were extreme­ ly interesting and amusing The en­ tertainment committee, consisting of the teacher, Miss Florence O'Boyle, her sister, Miss Ruth O'Boyle and Mrs. James Halpin, were congratulated up­ on the success of the program. The stage managers, Herbert Gahler, Jacob Larson and Ira Witte, and the recep­ tion committee, Miss Florence Spizak and Miss Katherine Mathiesen, all de­ serve great credit for the success of the undertaking.
