No Rum on French Line.
The French government lias pro
hibited the making, sale or transpor
tation of absinthe. As slated by the
French embassy in Washington,
there is absolutely no consumption ol
alcoholic liquors permitted through
out the army; prohibition colonics.
It may be “God is not in her thot,’’
but the grip France is taking on the
gospel of self-control is prophetic of
greater progress for righteousness.
India, like Africa, places bottles
of whiskey*on the graves of English
men. Lord Crewe tells the story of
a young subaltern who died on a
shooting expedition and the simple
folk, fearing his spirit might haunt
them, felt it was necessary to offer
something distinctively British to
keep his spirit quiet.
In Ceylon, in spite of appeals to
the contrary, the number of licensed
premises has been increased and the
right of public servants to take part
in temperance societies withdrawn.
Will America go unpunished for
the African trade, the long, black
coast line, a debauched and degrad
ed people; or, nearer home, for li
quor laws? Such license has led a
thousand convicts in the Eastern Pen
itentiary, Philadelphia (70) per cent
of whom are there because of li
quor, to petition without precedent.
The United States has lined Ma
nila’s most beauftiul avenues with sa
loons. The United States manufact
ured whiskey last year to the amount
of 88,000,000 gallons; cigarettes and
cigarß, 23,. r *00,000,000.
A year ago England “had money
to burn” and spent lavishly on her
self especially in liquor consumption.
Today in her anxiety and shortage
are greater than in times of plenty.
It may be that the close of the
of money England’s offerings to God
war waits upon the abolition of a
slavery worse than war -that caus
ed by whiskey and other alcoholics
and by the deadly narcotics.
The barbarities of war hare been
beyond our capacity to believe but
tley have no power to slay the spir
it, to ruin both body and soul. Bet
ter a thousand times to die on the
battlefield than to be the victim of
greed and appetite and a slow de
terioating person ending in degrada
tion and death.
Getting Opium in China.
Only last July, Great Britain ar
ranged for the import of ti.OOO chests
of opium to China, payinng China
$20,000,000. According to unofficial
advices to Washington, this was a
compromise in the Chinese opposi
tion to the traffic in opium, the pro
tection and sale of which are prohib
ited in China. This immense impor
tation was “for tlie relief of Shang
hai merchants and the British port
ot Hong Kong.” The special medi
cine labels gave an air of respecta
bility to the transaction; false labels
may deceive the very elect. The in
famy of the opium trade is one long
historic tragedy.
A ray of light was the signing at
The Hague last year of the protocol
of the anti-opium convention of DJI2
for the international trade in noxious
drugs. China, The Netherlands, and
the United States, represented by
their respective ministers were the
signers for 475,000,000 people.
United States Minister Henry Van
Dyke hopes that the action of these
powers will be followed by similar
declarations by other countries and
that legislation against this vicious
•trade will be adopted.
Temperance Program Observed.
Despite the inconvenient hour for
housekeepers, a good many ladies at
tended the exercises at 1 o’clock at
the different grades up town and the
Park public school.
It was a great source of pleasure
to the ladies of the W. C. T. U. to
see t he teachers have their pupils
prepare programs on these important
Worn Out?
No doubt you are, if
you suffer from any of the
numerous ailments to
which an women are sub
ject. Headache, back
ache, sideache, nervous
ness, weak, tired feeling,
are some of the symp
toms, and you must rid
yourself of them in order
to feel well. Thousands
of women, who have
been benefited by this
remedy, urge you to
TAKE
Gardui
The Woman's Tonic
Mrs. Sylvania Woods,
of Clifton Mills, Ky., says:
“Before taking Car dui,
1 was, at times, so weak 1
could hardly walk, and
the pain in my back and
head nearly killed me.
After taking three bottles
of Cardui, the pains dis
appeared. Now 1 feel as
well as 1 ever did. Every
suffering woman should
try Cardui.” Get a bottle
today. E-68
subjects, Alcohol and Nicotine.
We are sure that the results will
be very beneficial.
Our motto is not to reform but to
train and educate the young and in
no other place can this be better ac
complished than in the home and
school.
It was our pleasure to visit the
fourth and eighth grades combined,
also the tenth grade. We enjoyed
the splendid quotations, readings and
essays very much and regretted that
time did not perpiit attendance in
all the grades, but those who at
tended in the other grades said the
programs were perfectly splendid.
Prof. Cooper, with his genial smile,
and sweet music added much to
these programs.
We were sorry that the anti-ci
garette pledge cards, a total abstin
ence pledge cards which had been
ordered had not come, but which
we are sure there will be quite a
good many In the grade school and
high school to sign them.
There were 13 boys in Mrs. Fort
son’s room that signed the anti-ci
garette pledge cards.
In appreciation of what our teach
ers have done in this line and for
the benefit of our youth the W. C.
T. U. ladies are going to give two
gold medals for the two best essays
on Temperance.
The sixth, seventh and eighth
grades will contest together. Their
general subject is “Alcohal and the
Human Body.” There are special
themes under this subject which the
teachers who conduct this contest
will select and will be given to pu
pils after they take their seats to
write their essays.
The maximum number of words
shall be six hundred and the mini
mum three hundred.
Tlie ninth, tenth and eleventh
grades will be “The Value of Total
Abstinence to a Life." They also will
have special themes which will be
given after going to their seats to
write essays.
The maximums number of words
shall be fifteen hundred and the min
imum one thousand.
The teachers decide on the best
twenty essays then they will be
given to five competent disinterested
judges which will decide on the two
best essays and will be held until
winning essays will be announced
and the winner will come forward
and read same.
Each one will have a fair chance
as no names will be signed, but de
signated by number. We know of
no better way of getting the pupils
interested in this work than by the
prize essay contest which will take
place the latter part of April or May.
We hope each pupil will take advan
tage of this opportunity and heartily
join in the contest.
