It appeand olso that the suicide, of Misliou followed a three days debauch' In which the whiskey bought on ('liritniis day played an imbortaut part. To what extent the debauch was responsible for the act which ended his fife'lt is of .course Impossible to say. Had the I arrollton sal(ofi8 observed the fa won Christmas day-there wou.:d have been nodiolidy debauch and It is possible, that Mil lion woijld still he alive.". jOnly one pf similar saloon trage dies occurring every day in .

With the opening of u new year comes a notice of further-Intention on the part of the larger employers of labor to entirely cut off saloon patrons from among their list of employes.

No other fatcor in opposition to t lie ex istence of the saloon isso surely work ing hi the direction of Its ultimate doom as is this constant protest against it on the part of employers of labor. , FOR AGED TEOPLE Old Folks Should Be Careful In Their Selection of Regulative Medicine We have a safe, dependable, and al together Ideal remedy that Is par- tloularly adapted to t tic requirements of aged people and persons of weak constitutions whosutler from const I pa lion or other bowel disorder.
