The Prohibition Act has driven the

liquor business down into the slums where few self-respecting men will go after it. Hence the increasing sobrie- ty of our people, hence the fact that tive hundred men can spend two weeks in tho presence of these slums and, without a aoiltary exception, es-» cape contamination.

Let the recent incident be remem-

bered as an unqualified proof that Prohibition prohibits and that any attempt at repeal would be an at- tempt to move back the hands of the clock.

COWARDICE.

Cowardice may arise from physical

weakness or from some peculiarity of temperament. In such cases it bo- longa_to the category of unavoidable human weaknesses the victim of which is rather to be pitied than

blamed. When to cowardice is added, as vcry frequently happens, the char-

iicteristics of the braggart and the bully it becomes utterly detestable and unpardonable.

Detestahle as this form of coward- ice is the world is full of it and in the most unsuspected places. We have in recent issues been discussing the relation of the people to the enforce- ment of the Prohibition Act. We are

appeals to those ‘who consider it thein duty to feel fiery on those special oc- casions he is bold as a lion. But when th'e "dragon" approaches he "crawls under the bed."

We are not in this discussing

whether a man has the right to pro- ect his business by letting others do what business they please or by trad-i ing with whom he pleases. What we are after is the man who impiously and blasphemously preaches or prays one doctrine while in congenial com- pany and practices an entirely dlfler- ent one in his daily life.

An audience in this-Christian land

of ours would probably be shocked if a. professedly temperanceiman should announce meekly, “Ladies and gentle- men, I know that liquor is being sold freely ,in this town; I know young men who are being ruined by drink; I know where they buy it for I see them going in day after day. But if I were to give their names to the pro- secutor I would be found out and my business would sufler. So you will kindly excuse me."

Such a speech would, at least, have

the merit of being honest and the man making it would be no coward but it would meet with a terrible howl from many who, if they spoke truly, would use the same words.

“He has the courage of his con-

vlctions" is the highest tribute that can be paid to a reformer. The few of whom it can be said are the salt; of the earth. The others are “salt that has lost its savour," if it ever had any, “and is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and trod- den under foot of men.”

CHANGE OF CONTRACTORS

i.EvIs 'ro MoNo'roN

QUEBEC, Feb. 5.-William Daly, of

Montreal, has been given the con- tract by M. P. and J. T. Davis to complete the unfinished section of the Transcontinental, between Levis and the New Brunswick line, amounting to 130 miles. The Quebec. Contract- ing Company, composed of Montreal and Quebec parties, failed to iinlsh the work, and Mr. Daly will complfetei the contract. Only nine miles of track remains to be laid, but there will be ballasting, illllng and bridge building in such quantities, that al- though the time for finishing the work was first set for September, it is quite likely that snow will be again on .the ground before tradlc is opened to Moncton.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5-If you send

your travelling bag by United States parcels post., be sure to leave it un- locked.

Got Strong and Well Again at Small Cost.

Miss Alta Abel, of West Baden,

Ind., says:-“I was a complete wreck. always tired, worn out and nervous. I had to spend about one- third of my time in bed and my life was not worth living. Vinol, your dc- licious cod liver and iron tonic was recommended, and it has done me more good than all the medicine I ever took in my life. That nervous and tired feeling is all gone. I have gained in health. flesh and strength, until I feel like another person."

Vinol is the most efficient

strength creator for such women. It is the medicinal elements of the cod’s livers contained in Vinol aided by the biuori making and strengthening properties of tonic iron which makes it so far superior to all other tonics to build up health and strength for weak, tired, ailing women. It con
