T. l\, has just returned from a lecturing tour in tire north and west and everywhere she | says that Georgia is being widely slan dered as to tier prohibition law and its results, it is constantly troth writ ten and said tlrat the law is a farce and that the people are already tired of it ; tlrat n real enforcement of it is not even attempted, and many other things equally and shamelessly un true. All this is part of the liquor cam paign to protect the remnants of the territory they contrrl. und it is only the same thing that has been going on all over the country for fitly years back with regard to tire state of Maine. We Georgians have been taught to believe that the Maine law was a farce too, but if so it was a farce so hurtful to tire liquor trade that every effort, has been made both Witli- tir and withoui the slate to break it down. Weve-al times Iras the vote been taken tlrsouglrorrt the stale to •‘resubmit,” tnit tire people h«ve stood firm for its preservation. They know What is protecting the “personal lib erty” of the people at large; the iron- drinking public. Audit will be the same way with , tire people of Georgia. An object lcs- j son will tcaclr those who cannot learn it engorged, paralyze ils action and so make the man forgetful, and he may imagine he has been asleep; but it is not a natural, healthful sleep, end he does not feel rested and re freshed utter it as he does from real sleep. l)r. Richardson says or himself that during the time when he drank daily, as some oilier people do, a period of nearly thirty years, lie never had what may be called truly natural sleep, never with the same freedom I n Kentucky 9(5 of the 119 counties are no'*- dry under tire "county unit” law. The state is redeeming herself from the stigma of ‘•Kentucky Col- onellsm” all right, and the Cooper trial was one of the heaviest blows this eighteenth century type of citi zens has ever received.

The house did not no-1 cept the amendment, but p assed a new ’ bill providing for statutory prohibi tion in 1910, and eliminating the drug store feature which was objectionable to the senate. It remains to be seen what the senate wilt do with the bill as amended. as there are several ingenious reasons as- a signed to account for it, “besides” the | prohibition laws enacted in some I stales. A prohibition bill Is being obstructed in the town serrate und tire senators have refused to ‘‘stand up and be counted” on the question. We fancy that their constituents will lir.d some other way of placing them however, and the next election will show.

The custom of beer drinking at night to produce sleep is a very prevalent one, and it is not surprising when wc remember that it has been advertised as an innocent and wholesome anodyne from time immemorial, and indorsed by prominent physicians too. But the new and more accurate informa tion about alcohol shows this custom upas most pernicious and dangerous! to health, injuring the nerves, the drain and the stomach. Alcohol is a narcotic, aud when sleep is apparently produced by beer we are only deceived in thinking so ; it is not really sleep, but a state of narcotism that covnterfeits it An English docotsay, “When a man says ‘ l want a quiet night, 1 will take, a sleeping draught,’ he speaks in par ables. To express tire fact plainly he should say,‘I want a quiet night, I can not obtain it Ly going to sleep, or 1 nm afraiil to trust to the changes of natural rest, so I will poison myself- just a little, just - enough to make me unconscious, or slightly paralyze my nerve centers, not enough to kill.’ If this fact could lie kept clearly before the mind, the reckless use of drugs which produce a state that mocks sleep would lie limited.” The state of inaction ■which is brought about, by natural sleep is very different from that which is produced by paralysis in any degree. The real reason for this is. that the action of the brain is different. In sleep tire brain rest, it is quiet and' reduced in size. But the action of alcohol is to send blood to' thelrrSin’ and make business in tire state after being once enjoined. This decision is expected to put seventy-three Davenport saloons out of business. ! Program for Veterans Memoirs Day July 26th, 1909. Song—“My Faith Looks Up to Thee,” by congregation.

Scientists have found in a cave in Switzerland 1 roues of men, who lived 100,000 years ago, when life was in con stant danger from wild beasts. To-day the danger, as shown by A. W.
