It therefore follows that it is the interest of the producer to put into market only a first class article, as such an article will always com manda purchaser and invariably at better figures than any that could be expected for an inferior article Tha majority of purchasers have far more regard to quality than to price. This is true not onlv for rich purchasers, but of all who have the means to pay and the ability to dis¬ criminate between a superior and .nu inienor article.

Treating is t.ie ihrect than cause of more drinking, to excess any other agency, A man need only appeal to Ids own observation and Ins own experience, it he has at any time drank whisky, for the truth ot this assertion. This foolish custom, peculiar to America, has caused the ruin of thousands-of. young men who would otherwise have escaped the dreadful_ conse qaeuces ot the drinking habit. I be, simple statement of these proposi Everybod lions is argument feels eoouah. Every y their (rudi. If left to himself the man will take his glass of whuky cr beer, and there is the end of it. Ilut this treating cus tom holds universal sway, and in obedience to its behests, lie must ask his friends to drink with him. Each of these friends must in turn treat aU (he rest. The result is all are made drunk. Destroy the custom and a tremendous blow is struck at drunkenness; a mighty impetus is given to temperance. The custom is senseless, hurtful and tarries along with it an endless ti*in of evils. It should be stamped ont. These societies will do much towards ac complishing they should this end, and therefore be fostered. Young .men should be encouraged to join them.
