Is there any one tnat oan answsr tbe ebova question when it refers to Ibe training of ohildren. There are so many plans offered that it would be useless to try to follow them al though each and every one may be good. History repeats itself- there has been many times in the history of the world that laws bsve been pass ed their object being to compel men and women into temperance. When tnbaooo was first introduced into England laws were passed and heavy penaltiea attached against its use but tbey were loafiectivs This hss been repeated so often that it has become a sell evident faot that you may educate a person.' A boy or a girl into good men and women or you can oarelenly let them grow up tbe opposite or at least with no strong lb of obaraoler, and be In a condition so that tbey will show a sear for every time thai Ibey oome in oontsot with sin. The writer has a foolish notion but still is strongly ol that opinion that a boy ahoald be raised just as carefully as a girl. It baa been truly said that if a man baa a 960 pup that he is oareial ol its training. He will b an means allow it to run Ihe street but guards it carefully at borne. Would it not be well to give ohildren an equal show with the pups Io gards to tbe saloons. It seems a orszy and idiotic polioy to pay out thouasnd ol dollars to maintain schools and oburehes to bnild ap and then li cense saloons to poll down, bat a per son baa at times to make a oboioe be tween evils .

In other words our business has made a great deal more rapid increase than the town has.

In the second place we bad ex ceptional opportunities for learning the practical side of pharmacy in a successful drug store of the highest stand ing.
