Bryan Makes Out Strong Case
Against Old King Alcohol
First. Alcohol is a poison
and is injurous to the body, the
mind and the morals.
Second. No normal brain
needs alcohol to stimulate it to
action.
Third. No one is strong
enough to begin the alcoholic
habit with the certainty that
he will not become its victim
Fourth. There is no time in
life when it is safe to begin
the use of intoxicating liquors. |
Fifth. No one has a moral j
right to impair his capacity
for service by deliberately con
tracting a habit which he
knows to be injurous.
Sixth. No one can afford to
spend any money for alcoholic
drinks when so many worthy
causes need aid.
Seventh. No one can justify
before the bar of conscience
the putting of his influence on
the side of a habit, which
brings thousands to the grave
every year.
Eighth. No one should put

Health
About
Gone
Many thousand! o!
women suffering from
womanly trouble, have
been benefited by the use
of Cardui, the woman's
tonic, according to letters
we receive, similar to this
one from Mrs. Z. V. Spell*.
ofHayne, N.C. “I could
not stand on my feet, and
just suffered terribly,"'
she says. “As my suf
fering was so great, aad
he had tried other reme
dies, Dr.- had us
get Cardui. . . I began
improving, and it cured
me. I know, and my
doctor knows, what Car
dui did for me, for my
nerves and health were
about gone."
TAKE
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
She writes further: " I
am in splendid health...
can do my work. 1 feel I
owe it to Cardui, for 1 was
In dreadful condition."
If you are nervous, run
down and weak, or suffer
from headache, backache,
etc., every month, try
Cardui. Thousands of
women praise this medi
cine for the good it has
done them, and many
physicians who have used
Cardui successfully with
their women patients, for
years, endorse this medi
cine. Think what it means
to be in splendid health,
like Mrs. Spell. Gift

temptation in the way of others
by offering the social glass.
If the use of intoxicating li
quor is harmful, no communi
ty can defend the policy of
licensing the saloon which con
spires against the welfare of
the people and no citizen by
his vote should become a part
ner in the saloon business un
less he is ready to share moral
responsibility for what the sa
loon does.
Prohibition has been tested
by experience and sustained in
principle by the highest court
in the land. Experience has
also shown that the larger the
unit the easier the enforce
ment of prohibition.
The attempt to shield the
liquor traffic behind the doc
trine of state’s rights is a sham
and a fraud. The men who
use the states’ rights argument
in defense of saloons today,
are in almost every case, men
who have opposed prohibition
by state, county or smaller unit
To the economic arguments
which have been strengthened
by experience and the moral

stronger with the rise of ethi
cal standards, two patriotic ar
guments can be added. First,
we can not spare for alcohol
the foodstuffs needed for the
table and, second we can not
in this crisis permit intoxicants
to lessen the fighting power
of our soldiers orthepuroducing
power of those who toil in field

Teachers Association held a

MEDICINE VS. FOOD
Do not buy something which
you already have. You have
food which you feed your hor
ses, cattle and sheep, but when
you want medicine, buy only
medicine. That is what you
get in B. A. Thomas’ Stock
Remedy. We sell it and guar
antee it to be medicine. We tell
you that it will tone up the en
tire system of your stock and
aid digestion, thereby causing
them to get all the food value
out of the grain that you feed
them . F. C. HOYT & CO.

abundant crops and increased
industrial production is here.
Now is the time for America’s
Home Army to mobilize and
thus bring courage to our boys
