WAR STORIES 1 LI.I 'ST! !AT EI)
Are apt to be entertaining and five
the auditor a comprehensive idea of
the grimness of battle. Stories with,
out words are sometimes very impres-
sive, The scenes in Libby Prison,
Chicago, will go a long ways towards
effectively illustrating the stories of
the "boys." If you go to Buffalo via
Santa Se's W. R. C. official train of
August 21, you'll have about five hours
in which to pilot your friends through
the old prison.

A Remarkable Cure of Chronic Diarrhoea.
In J862, when served my country as
private in Company A. l'iTth Pennsyl-
vania Volunteers, I contracted chronic
diarrhoea. It has given me a great
deal of trouble ever since. I have tried
a dozen different medicines and several
prominent doctors without any perma-
nent relief. Not long ago a friend
sent me a sample bottle of Chamber-
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy, and after that I bought and
took a 50-cent bottle: and now 1 can
say that I am entirely cured. I cannot
be thankful enough to you for this
great remedy, and recommend it to all
suffering veterans. If in doubt write
me. Yours gratefully, Henry Stein-
berger, Allentown. Pa. Sold by all
druggists.
Nature and the God who created it,

quira minds that have conscience and
the desire to live right.

A Way to Make Money
and
A Better Way.
A gallon of whiskey contains about Ho drinks ;
a quarter of a barrel of beer about 125 drinks;
You can buy either for 82. You pay in a saloon-
10 cents a drink or $<>.50 a gallon for whisky,
and 5 cents or $(i.2<r> a quarter for beer. Some
writer lias said:
Now. if you must drink whisky. buy a gallon
and make your wife the barkeeper: then when
vou are dry. give her ten cents for a drink.
When the whisky is gone, she will have, after
paying for it. $4.50 left, and every gallon there-
after will yield the same profit. This money she
should put away in the Savings Hank, so that if
you become a drunkard, unable to support your-
self. you wife may have money enough to keep
you until your time comes.
A BETTER WAY.
Don't drink. If you don't drink, you save
the whole $<>.50, and save yourself from the
danger of becoming a drunkark. Of men start-
ing when twenty years old with equal chances,
some are rich and some are poor at fifty. Why'r
Some spend 5c a day for a glass of
beer, which saved and put at (i per
cent yearly interest, amounts in o0
years to $1,452 70
Some buy 2 glasses or a glass of
whisky, which amounts to 2.005 40
Some 3 beers or a glass of whisky and
1 beer 4.358 10
Some 1 glass of whisky and 2 of beer 5,810 80
Some 1 glass of whisky and 4 of beer 8,716 20
Some even 3 glasses of whisky, 3 of
beer and 3 five-cent cigars 17,4 32 40
fjome of the boys began by drinking a glass
of beer with a friend. After a while they got
an appetite, which they did not resist, and which
grew stronger and stronger until they spent all
they could earn for drink and tobacco, and died
before they were fifty, or are now miserable,
worthless wrecks.
In short, some gave their earnings to the
saloonkeepers, and got worse than nothing in
return. Others spent their money for only that
which did themselves or somebody good, and
now have something.
Boys, which class shall we join? If we start
right and go right, we shall be all right. If we
have started wrong, and right about face now,
we can, with God's help, be all right yet. What
say you. boys? Fathers of boys, what say you V
