Another change we are deeply conscious of is that the men who have made Franklin are Passing from among us " Dr. Hodge mentioned appreciatively James P. Kay, Francis B Ray, James M. Freeman, Wil liam F. Ray, William M. Thayer, Emory Thayer, A. H. Morse, Joseph G. Ray and Charles J. Mc Kenzie, and said these and others we have lost in recent years are the men who have made Franklin. They have built up the business interests of Franklin. They have erected its best bulldings, They have put themselves streets by the open saloon. The main gronud of our opposition to the saloou is that it puts temptation in the way of the young, the weak, the foolish. We cannot absolutely prevent a man from drinking by any law. That belongs to the sphere of morality, bot that of law. If a man is determined to drink you cantnot stop him. If a man is bound to go to the devil he will. It is an easy road, down hill all the way. But you can keep temp- tation in a great measure out of the way. There has uever been a time when a man living in Franklin could not go to Boston or Providence and get all the liquor be was able and willing to pay for. Now he can go in Woonsocket at small expense into the industrial, social, political, reli- and get it. But the real situation is not gions and moral life of the community.

There are hun- dreds of cough medi - cines which relieve coughs, all coughs, except bad ones! The medicine which has been curing the worst of bad coughs for 60 years is Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. Here is evidence :

" My wife was troubled with a deep-seated couch on her lunes for three years. One day I thought of how Ayer's Cherry Pectoral saved the life of my sister after the doctors had all given her up to die. So I purchased two bottles, and it cured my wife completely. It took only one botile to cure my sister. So you see that three bot- tles ( ne dollar each] saved twn lives We all send you our heart. felt thanks for what you have done for us "-J. H.
