The decline may be due I to a growing feeling that no practical 'gain can result from a mere registra- ;tion of the views of those who would like to have a prohibitionist in the White House. It is not due to any weakening in temperance sentiment. The Springfield Republican points out that by the working 0! local 0p. tion laws half the area of the United States is now under prohibition. Ohio has-1,140 dry towns out of a total of 1,376. Massachusetts has 250 dry out of 350.

Passing to the Pacific coast one finds four dry counties in California, and “much dry territory in other counties.” while Oregon reports 12 dry COuntie-s. 170 dry towns and cities in ether counties.

It contains some good sense in showing the necessity of furnishing the travelling public with suitable accommodation which must be part of the plan of the Local Op- tionisss if they wish to make an abso- lute success :â€"-â€"- ‘ \Vith many others, I regret toll learn that the town cf Neepawa has! returned to the license system for her hotels. While I regret it, I am not in the least surprised. One of! the lesstns that temperance peopleli have yet to learn is, that if they I want to make their hotels without] license pepular and profitable they“ ‘ will have to put up money to do it. !] The cry so frequently made. thatl, homzs cannot be successfully run wi bout a bar, is not true. but it is true that hocels without bars will never pay the dividends of hotels with bars, and they require motel: careful and competent handling in‘, order to make them pay. The trouble at Neepawa arose out oi the building , of two splendid hotels in a town that was only large enough to support one. One house was built largely by private enterprise and the other by a company composed of local citizensl There was not room for two hotels;l the one owned by a private individual was opened first, and in a great measure held the ground, and al- though there were anumber of prom- inent temperance people interestedl in the other hotel. the lack of revenue from the investment discouraged them. and while a few stuck manfully to the jOb. Others got (pardon the slang) “cold feet” and their temper- ance sentiment weakened to such a degree that a number who did not actually vote for license let it be known that they were no longer op- posed to it. The shutting up of the hotels and the consequent loss of business to the town was too much for their faith in the local option principle l l SITUATION IN NEEPAWA. To the honor of the women voters. be it said, they stuck to their princi- ples and voted local option, Of course. a good many of the men ex. cused their action on the ground that there was as much liquor sold in Neepawa and as much drunkenness as if there was an open bar, more in fact This may be true. butit is Just a little odd that although I have vis. ited Neepawa frequently I have never seen a drunken boy or man on the streets of that town. I do not say there was no drinking in N eepawa, butI do say that I never saw any results of it. ciel men need to drive the twenty miles from Binecarth to Birtle in or. do: that they might spend Sunday at Mecdougell’s.

The best evidence I have ever had of a bar not being neediul to make a house pay. we: that of Mr. Peter Payne, of Brandon, who for so many years ran the Beaubeir. When the vote was on for abolition of the liquor trafiic in Manitoba, Mr. Payne Openly voted with the temperance people, and when questioned as to why he did so said he would prefer to run a house without a bar. as he could make it pay all right. Those who were in the habit of staying at the Beaubeir will remem- ber how little the bar was in evi dence. in fact. you could have been in the house 9. week without knowinz there was a bar unless you went to look for it. It was a well appointed house, clean, good beds, good meals and most courteous service. Good hotels without bars and showing a reasonable profit are the best possible argument in favor of local option, and the temperance peo- ple of any community are unwise to attempt local option unless they are prepared to see that good accommo- dation will be provided for the trav- elling public once the bars are closed.

And many. many people cannot digest milk easily, because it is so lacking in solid food-contents. Moreover, milk is so liable to contagion that it is seldom pure when we get it in the cities. But Ontaria- brewed beer. is really pure,-â€"brewed in cleanliness, of sound materials, in a sanitary way, and brought to the user in the same fit-to-drink state. Drink beer with meals and at bedtime, as an item of diet that will help the stomach do its work better, and will feed the body besides. Don’t choose beer as a stimulant, though, â€"-it does not contain enough alcohol for that. Use it as a food-drink that induces lazy stomachs to do their work well, and so helps them get more good out of all food. Ontario beer is not only deliciously appetising and refreshing. because brewed of pure malt and hops only; but, besides, all the power that hops possess to repair nerve wastes is kept in these brews. That is what makes beer so particularly good for women to drink regularly. Ask your own doctor what he thinks of beer for your household. (HARDLY ANOTHER BEVERAGE FEEDS SO WELL) 'l raverston.
