ins. Reuben receives a very
cool reception from his cousins
but in the end all were glad

LIQUOR LAYS A CURSE
UPON ITS CONSUMERS
Editor Journal.—It seems
!that the liquor element is won
derfully stirred fearing that we
will some time in the near fu
ture have nation-wide prohibi
tion. 1 recently received a cir
cular sent out by the liquor or
ganization arguing that such
would be a great detriment to
the country by throwing thou
sand of men outofemployment.
What kind of employment? I
answer it is the making of
drunkards, poor houses, asy
lums, homeless widows and or
phans, bequeathing to orphans
the name of a drunkard, leav
Rubbing Eases Pain

ing a promising boy or girl to
have the stigma of being the
child of a drunkard, without
home or any dependence for a
living, and probably unless
they have relatives to care for
them, they must land in the
poor house to be cared for by
the public.
There was a time when our
state licensed men to sell the
accursed stuff openly, the
temptation being legally be
fore the poor wretches who are
so addicted to the hellish stuff
that they cannot resist the
temptation. Then the drunk
ard was to be pitied. Rut now
we have State-wide prohibi
tion, and the man who deliber
ately sends to another state to
get the temptation and spends
i his earnings for the stuff,there
by robbing his wife and child
ren, and when the devil finally
gets him, simply bequeaths the
legacy of th<> name of a drunk
ard. And God said no drunk
ard can enter heaven.
It is amusing to read the li
quor men’s advertisements of
the various fancy names they
give to the stuff. When 1 was
a boy, they used to call it “bust
skull" and “rot gut,” which was
very appropriate,for after they
get over the drunk they think
the skull ought to burst, and
the odor from a drunkard’s
breath is such as to indicate
that there is something rotten
inside of him. Were you ever
in a closed room with a drunk
ard? W. P. LAWTON.
