It is no marvel that some men and women are very much in earnest indeed, not to show themselves at all uncharitable to the brewer or distiller or rsaloon-l but.'at whatever cost and by all the legitim- ate means in their power, to stop their inuence and destroy their: business. To do so, is, after all, to render these and all who are en- tangledin the traic, the, greatest possible service and it is doubtless true that many of our hotel-keepers who know something of the results of intemperance, would welcome leg- islation that would put all hotels upon an equal nancial footing by prohibiting the bar for all without, exception. . -_-v- awn I cupfu g of so Tak A boilin the n `milk; Soda; hours One of w mola- 213:1" the r mold dish, jam Bana in fr mam, bana ditio oonv.u_ a ltt Serve 510 on ri ed 12 prvur .~....l_ -.-u melt lemox parsl Slices u--\.L.3 ed to eggs. of c spoo sauce stale crum COITJ SWCC FREDERICXEUERSA . . . ..n.n-u-. `....L.__.- .

For several years he conducted a grocery and liquor store on Dunlop 'St., opposite B; Hinds store, which was then known as the Dominion sHouse.
