Are You
Successful
If you are not successful—who is to blame? You
notice all around you successful men—don't you?
Many of them havd had no better opportunities than
you—some ol them not as good. The successful man
avails himself of his opportunities. The unsuccessful
man does not. One of the opportunities that make for
success is a Bank Account. Have you one at this
Bank? Try it for a year. Then note the progress
you have made.
A Bank Account is the Ladder by wkich
many men have mounted to Success.

THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT
Following the-war c£ 1812, there
was so much, pauperism and! demor
alization that the people became
alarmed and b«.gan to enquire) • the
cause. Committees sejit out report
ed that in nine cases out of • ten,
drinking was' the cause of th« cyil.
Every one drank,—ministers, doc
tors, m-enchauts, and. even 'the wo
men and children. Liquor was sold
in all the -grocery 6tcres'and tav
erns at that time, and people drank
even at funerals.
In 1824, a great movement swept
thru th© Union. Its principle was
abstinence from .strong drink.
Though by the year 1830 a thou
sand temperance societies had. been
formed and hundredg ofl grocery
s'orfcs iiad given-up the '»ale of
Strom: drink, this was but a be
ginning, for 'as yet no state had
voted "no license." lodged it wasi
net until -thirty- three, years ago.
tha Maine (the first state. to vote
no license) declared 'that no more
strong drink should! be Bold Inside
her borders.' "
Since then the cause of temper
ance has bee 'rteadily 'gaining. 80
per cent of the territory of the U.
S. is-now'dry, and a number of the
stKtes are to vote on, the .question
verv 'oon. If on November seventh,
Alaska and California vote dry,
then the whole west >coas>t1 from
the North Pole down to Me-xico will
be.prohibition ground. "There is no
state that is wholly black on 'the
temperance map, all have some no
license trritory within theiij borders

some slates and pencils, a few, • <
very few books, perhaps a black
board and some eagor pupils,. Eve
the schools of the larger cities wer
crude. Nearly all of the .school
had but one room and one pdhool
master. "When the first setttier

Men and Women Vnnntmous About It.
Many women weep and wail and refuse
to bo comforted because their once mag
nificent tresses have become thin and
faded. Many men incline to profanity
because the files bite through the thin
thatch on their cranlums. It will be good
news to the miserable of both sexes, to
learn lhat Newbro's Herplcide has been
placed upon the market. This is the new
scalp germicide and antiseptic that acts
by destroying the germ or microbe that
