G. Moork, Waif Offioe, FIRS? OTUTm C6NYFPI0N by singing praises because of their re demption and reoovery. My dear sisters, in the joy of the new hope that has come to us through this new and wonderful medicine, we have individually been serving quietly, casting in our mite whenever and wherever opportunity" presented, but the day for single-handed and silent service is past. We can no longer hide our light under a bushel. We must come to the front, organize a Womans Auxiliary with branh-es in every state and county and town, and be ready and willing at all times and in all ways, to stand shoulder to shoulder with these men, in their efforts to relieve the suffering and to prevent the further spread of this contagion.

Now is the time for the mothers, wives and daughters who have suffered and dared so much for their loved ones in the past, to come together and enter into the spirit of this great scientific temperance campaign with might and main, using the instrument God has put into our hands for the advancement and glory of His kingdom. To do this successfully, we must free ourselves from every thought of self or hope of personal reward, or of public glory, working with one end in view for the relief of the already diseased and to prevent by any and all legitimate efforts, the increase of intemperance in the land. they looked as if a miracle had been performed upon each one. There was no further room for lingering doubt, and I confessed myself convinced that Dr. Keeley had discovered a cure for alcoholism.

I sent several younger men to him who were hard drinkers and had lost all power of resisting the craving of alcoholic drink. They all came back oured and have taken fresh starts in life. I have heard of but one of all those I sent to Dwight who has relapsed, and perhaps he has been reclaimed. But I am told that cured men who may hold out a year or two will, sooner or later, yield to the old temptation and fall back into the gutter. Even if this should be true of a large per cent, of the cures, it would be no worse than what happens to Christian converts, as many of them backslide; but many hold fast and stand by the faith once delivered to the saints till they are called hence.

And who oan pronounce the Keeley cure a failure if a majority of all the graduates live sober and respectable lives till they are summoned to pay the debt of nature? At all events, I shall look back upon what the Tribune has done to make known to the slaves of al-oohol what the Double Chloride of Gold can do for their emancipation from the grieyous bondage of rum with as great satisfaction as on anything it has ever performed under my direction. THE KEEJ-EY INsVlTUTE. A few days ago we saw a man staggering up Kansas avenue, and heard a well-dressed man of more than middle age remark that the polioe should run him in. The question arose in my mind as to what shall be done with thedrnnkard? Shall we follow the advice of the church, who says, Convert him; or the police and the legislature, who say, Punish him or Dr. Keeley, who says, Cure him.

Friends, what shall we do with the drunkards? Drunkenness is a disease and can be cured. More than one hundred have been cured by the Keeley treatment here in Topeka, and more will follow if you will aid them. The Wichita Eagle has the following to say regarding the Keeley imitators: The success of the Keeley oure has caused numerous imitators to spring up, who soon run their race. They dare not use Keeleys name in their advertisements, but in private conversation, they tell their victims they have the Keeley cure. The term victim is properly used, because experience with these fakes demonstrated that, in less than ten months, seventy-five per cent, of their so-called cures have returned to drinking.

On the other hand, Dr. Keeley can point with justifiable pride, to thousands who have remained cured for years. In Kansas, the percentage of those who have returned to drink is less than three per eent. In looking over The Banner of Gold for August, we find that the Keeley graduates of Monmouth, 111., have organized a C. of G.

Club in that city, with William B. Smilie, president; Dr. G. H. Breed, vice-president, and Willard S.

Brown, secretary. In the list of members of this club we find many old friends and in reading them over we were made to exclaim, Thank God for placing in the hands of Dr. Keeley His redeeming power. Boys, God be with you, you know not what pleasure you bring to one fir away, in seeing your names inscribed in The Banner of Gold as among the saved.

Not by Bees Alone, but by Wasps, Ants, and Other Bugs. Washington Star: Did you ever consider how many flowers are required to supply one pound of honey? 6aid a naturalist. About two and a half millions is a fair estimate. Think what a vast amount of toil by hardworking bees that represents! However, there are other creatures besides bees that gather honey. For example, there is the honey-wasp of tropical America and the honey-making ant of Texas and New Mexico.

The latter is very abundant in the neighborhood of Santa Fe, and the sweets it collects highly esteemed by the Mexicans, not only as food, hut for medicinal purposes. There is an insect called the tazma in Ethiopia which deposits its stores of honey without wax. It looks like a giant mosquito and its product, which it hides away in holes underground, is eagerly sought by the natives as a remedy for diseases of the throat. There are giant bees in India which suspend combs as big as house doors from the branches of trees in the forests. In the Koono province of Lithuania bees are reared in excavated tree trunks In the woods, and the famous Koono honey derives its peculiar and delicious flavor from the blossoms of the linden trees which are so (abundant in that region.

One tribe of people in the province devotes its attention exclusively to bee-kccping. Bce-kecping is taught in Switzerland 1 by paid lecturers, who go from town to town and from canton to canton. In that country honey is a staple article of food even among the poorest classes, bread and honey being the most common breakfast. One gets nothing else for the morning meal at the big hotels. Consequently nearly dll of the Swiss product isroiuired for home consumption, and very little Df it is imported.

All over continental Europe apiculture is a very important industry. The German government compels all schoolmasters to pass an examination In bee-keeping. European Russia produces 700,000 pounds of honey annually. The ancient Greeks were famous for honey-making, but the business is neglected by their modern descendants. Corsican honey is rendered so bitter by the arbutus blosHims from which much of it is obtained as to be unpalpable.

The greatest hee-lceepers In the world arc in the United States. Single individuals in California each own from 2,000 to 12,000 swarms, which they farm out to the owners of orangeries and other fruit orchards during the blossoming season. One bee farm in San Diego county in that State furnishes 150,000 pounds of honey annually. Some bee fanners have floating bee houses, which follow the streams to find flowering pastures for the insects. This was done in Egypt thousands of years ago.

It has even been proposed to send swarms by ship to the West Indies in winter. FaHlilonuble Women ami Helpless Men. During theBoruan fashion red fair hair was bought largely of the German peasant girls and simplicity returned with the invasion of thu Franks. Our historian has to tell us of the sumptuary laws of Charlemagne, followed in France by others, over and over again, with much the same result. Philip the Fair decreed that no demoiselle with less than two thousand livres a year should have, more than one pair of gowns a year, or more than two with that income, lie fixed the price of the stuff, and provided for and against everything ana the ladies cared not at all.

The husbands remonstrated and the clergy preached and tlmv cared less. Slits in the dress were called doors of hell, and shoes a In Maine an outrage on creation'; bim In vain. High head-dresses high heels came later were preached down everywhere; and the cscollion, a broad cylinder of rich stuff ornamented with jewels and two horns, said to come from England, was the ob ject of the most sacred invective; and the hennin, a tall conic tube in brocaded stuff worked with beads and tightly fixed on the forehead, was denounced even more. But the ladies would have them, because tliev were becoming, and harmonized with the architecture the day of slender spires, slim turrets and lofty clock towers. In vain did Brother Con-necte, a Carwieiite of Bonnes, under, take a campaign against the hennins.

The women came to hear him wear-I ing them, till he seized his staff and 1 rushed among them, knocking the hennins off with the assistance of an idle mot). 'When ho had gone on his way, says the chronicle, the hennins were made rather taller than before. The poor man went on to Borne; but as his fervor had grown on him till he attacked the luxuries of the church, he was arrested and burned. Ivlhslng. Kissing is one of those ancient customs which never grow old.

As to its invention, it is certain that Nature was its author, and it began with the first courtship. There is an old Scandinavian tradition that Ko-wena, the daughterof Hcngist, introduced the kiss into England, just as if the lads and lassies Jong before ltowenas time had not discovered it for themselves. It almost makes one wish he lived a certain period described by Hone in his queer old Table Book, when in Ireland they had kissing bees on Easter Monday, on which occasion it was the duty of each female present to receive at least one dozen hearty kisses. The he are always two sides to a story-; particularly when some people tell one side of it. Any man can control his tongue who can control his thoughts.

Mr. J. S. Kellam (our Joe), and Frank Brown, have purchased the livery stock at 517 and 519 West Tenth street. A peep into their nice, clean barn will convince any one that they know how to run a livery and boarding stable.

They go to him soul-siok of misery, as well as physioally sick of rum and come away cured of both hating both and making war on both these evils. Banner of Gold.

The management of the Keeley Institutes of this State occupied a tent at Camp Sedwick, during the G. A. B. reunion at Wichita, last month, and distributed Keeley literature, and gave cheerful answers to all questions in regard to the celebrated Keeley cure. Through a letter written by James E.

Bottoms, assistant manager of the Keeley Institute located at Colorado Springs, and received by John Wilton, of this city, dated August 27th, we learn that Colorado Springs has forty-six patients; Aspen thirty-six, and Devner fifty-four. We tvill place in the hands of every Keeley graduate attending the State reunion a copy of The Waif, and hope that, before you go home, you will give us your subscription for one year. We will keep you posted, on all matters of interest to the State organization. Price 5U cents a yean The second reunion of the Double Chloride of Gold Club, of the Soldiers Home, Leavenworth, gave an entertainment in Amusement Hall, Tuesday evening, Sept, 6th, commemorating the occasion of the election of the two hundred and eighteenth member to their membership. We received an invitation to be present, but it came too late for us to get there.

Great reforms require great sacrifices; great sacrifices demand great minds; great minds inspire great principles, and great principles are immortal. They are the fruit of knowledge, the wine of wisdom, the jewels of truth. They feed the world to strength and adorn it to beauty. And the soul of it all is Love. Danner of Gold.

The versatile and popular Walter Bourne, of the Keeley Institute, Colorado Springs, did himself proud in rendering a tenor solo at the entertainment given in Weber hall, a few evenings ago. The Republican and Telegraph published at Colorado Springs, in speaking of the entertainment says: The Club are deserving of praise for the excellent program arranged which was well rendered throughout. The hall was well filled and the audience appreciative. President Pierce, of Omaha, says that on his way to Dwight he stopped in Chicago, where he met a friend of convival habits who was about six bits to the dollar when he met him, and when Mr. Pierce informed him that he was enrouto to Dwight, he attempted to straighten up, and in as dignified manner as possible under the circumstances, he said: What do you (hie) want to go to (hie) Dwight for; why dont you (hio) go to Washingtonian Home (hie) and get cured, like I did? We want every Keeley graduate who attend the State convention to become an assistant editor of this department of The Waif.

If you will you can make it both interesting for yourselves and friends. We have a work before us that none can better appreciate than those who have taken the cure, and their friends who have watched and prayed for this blessing now bestowed upon them. Stand up for Keeley and subscribe for The Waif. Dr. Keeley labored and waited for nearly twelve years, without encouragement or recompense, depending upon the merits of his discovery alone for his success.

During all that time doctors denounced him, and newspapers criticised him. He received soathing Barcasm in the pulpit and out of the pulpit, but during all these years he kept on curing drunkenness and courting investigation, until no longer the newspapers and professors could ignore the startling, voluntary testimony of intelligent men, and then the doctors sucoess came to him with the suddenness of a thunderbolt, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me. Happy women, who are today securely sheltered and tenderly cherished by those who have been redeemed, why is the above not a good motto to enlist under and prove your, gratitude by working for the peaceful happiness of other homes made desolate by King Alcohol, Ladies, go to work and organize a Womans Auxiliary Bi-Ohloride of Gold Club in every hamlet and village, and labor to restore every man in your neighborhood to manhood and sooiety. If you will try, and restore but one, reward will be given you. Manhattan, Sept.

10, 92. Fbiend Mooee: I am about to fill my promise that I made you some two months ago. Well I am pleased to inform you that we have got out Club organized and aie looking for honorary members. We are making good headway. We have some thirty members.

We elected three delegates to the National convention, consisting of our representative members. Your humble servant being one of the delegates. I leave for Dwight to-morrow, and I will be pleased to meet you there. We Kansans must be represented in the National organization, and when I see you well decide what position we want, and if we will pull together we will get any position we may ask for. I hope all the Kansas Clubs will be represented at Dwight, and then we will come back together and meet the boys at Topeka on the 15th.

I am satisfied that we will have seven hundred delegates to our convention. Hurrah for Kansas. Joseph Medill, the veteran editor of the Chicago Tribune, is an enthusiastic believer in the Double Chloride of Gold Cure. He is a bitter enemy of the fake institutions springing up all over the country. At first he was somewhat skeptical, and after he had had some correspondence with Dr.

Keeley (whom he had never seen,) concerning the actuality and permanance of his cure, the Doctor made him the following proposition, which we clip from The Banner of Gold, written by Mr. Medill: He proposed that in the interest of medical science and fallen, debased man I should send him five or more of the worst drinkers and opium-eaters that I could procure, and if he did not rid them of their overmastering appetite for alcohol and opium he would personally pay all their expenses at Dwight, charge nothing for his own services and publicly admit that his remedy was a failure; but that if he cured them, as he claimed he could, and I myself was to be the judge that they were cured, then I should pay the cost of the cures. I considered this an eminently fair proposition and immediately accepted it. Indeed, I was more than willing to lose the wager, for if I lost it I would enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that five or more poor, miserable inebriates had been reclaimed from disgraceful, ruinous lives and rescued from drunkards graves; and also that there would be a decisive proof of the efficacy of the Keeley oure that should be made known to the public. You may be sure that I lost no time in hunting up five of the worst and most confirmed and irreclaimable drunkards to be found in Chioago who could be induced to make the pilgrimage to Dwight.

They were all past middle life and had been bard drinkers for many years, and some of them had had more than one experience with delirium tremens. After each had been a month at Dwight he was discharged cured and sent back to me clothed in his right mind; the hankering for liquor completely obliterated; the blotohes and rum blossoms were gone; the red, watery eyes had become bright and physical health of all seemed completely restored. The poison had been expelled from their systems and An Abilene Graduate Tells what he Knows About It. Abilene Chronicle. Mr.

Joseph G. Carpenter, a well known citizen of Abilene, who returned home about a month ago after a four weeks treatment at the Keeley Institute in Topeka, is full of enthusiasm for the Keeley cure and the wonderful work it is doing in Kansas in redeeming drunkards. In the course of his conversation with a Chronicle reporter, Mr. Carpenter said: There is no doubt but that Dr. Keeleys celebrated Double Chloride of Gold cure for the liquor disease does ail that is claimed for it and more too.

I had been drinking at times excossively, for about six years, and during all that time the appetite for the accursed stuff stuck to me yet on the second day after I commenced treatment I lost all desire for liquor, and have had none since. udg-ing from the experience of the 70,000 men in this country who have taken the cure 1 never expect to have it again. I feel better physioally, mentally and morally than at any time since I first began to drink whisky. If the hard drinkers of Abilene knew what was good for themselves and their families they would lose no time in following my example and avail themselves of this truly wonderful cure. Continuing Mr.

Carpenter said: It amuses me to hear people talk about the injurious effects of the Keeley cure. They simply dont know what they are talking about. ust meet and talk to any Keeley graduate and you will laugh at the idea of any man being so foolish as to claim that the treatment is injurious. Look at me. Do you see anything unhealthy about me? Every Kee-leyite will tell you the same thing.

We are all better for the treatment, and the best advice I can give to any drunkard is to go and do likewise. If you go, be sure and go to a genuine Keeley Institute. Dont risk your money and your life on any fake, I am told that in Kansas alone the imitation or fake institutes have within the past six months already killed seven persons, while out of the eight hundred who have been treated in the past year at the genuine Keeley Institutes in Kansas there has not been one single accident or death. The only genuine Keeley Institutes in Kansas are located at North Topeka, Wichita, Leavenworth, and Kansas City. It is at these places only that you can get Dr.

Keeleys remedies for the liquor, opium and tobacco habits. The Topeka Keeley Institute have pitched a tent an the State Fair grounds where Brother Mackey will be pleased to meet any and all graduates who visit the grounds.

Among the prominent lady workers in the interest of the Keeley cure, is Mrs. Harry E.

Insley, wife of Major Insley, a graduate of Dwight, and founder of the Keeley Institutes in Colorado. After the opening of the Institute at Colorado Springs, of which Major Insley is the manager, his wife became endeared to all the patients, and being a fine vocalist and musician added greatly to the attractions of the club entertainments. She became the elder sister of the whole Institute and the confidant and adviser of all. In this capacity she was able to do great good and succeeded in reuniting a number of husbands and wives who had been separated by drink. Mrs.

Insley worked too hard and sang too much in the high altitude of Aspen, where she helped to open an Institute and the result was a partial paralysis, Major Insley was forced to remove his wife to a lower altitude and he accompanied her to Leavenworth, Kansas, her old home, where she is slowly but surely recovering her health. On Sunday, August 27th, Col, Mason lectured in the Tabernacle at Forest Park, Ottawa, Kansas, to a large and attentive audience, on the Keeley cure and its relation to temperance and prohibition. The Ottawa Lever says of the address: For an hour and a quarter the audience listened with the greatest attention to the address, and at its close seemed to be in no hurry to get away; in fact the Colonel captured his audience. The lecture was a straight forward, manly statement of facts, without any evasion of the fact that intoxicating liquors had, in the past, overpowered his will power, and had assumed the mastery over him. With those who have known him and associated with him as we have done, there oan be but one conclusion, and that is, that in his case at least, it has been effectual.

The steady step, the changed eye, the dear voice, and above all the straight forward lecture from first to last, proclaimed to those who have known him that a radical change has been effected. (From the Womans Department in the Banner ot Gold.) An Appeal to the Women. I wish to urge upon the women in every city and hamlet, who haye been personally benefitted either by their own cure or the restoration of loved ones through the Double Chloride of Gold Remedy, the importance of organizing and banding ourselves together under one name, one standard, and for one purpose. Is it strange that these men so fully and perfectly restored to their former healthful condition, mentally and physically, should feel it incumbent upon them to individually and collectively work for the benefit of others, who, like themselves, have suffered untold agonies of remorse in the coils of this malady? They have and are daily accomplishing great good in their organizations, but they will never be fully and thoroughly equipped to accomplish the broad mission they have so generously planned to fulfill, until they have the sympathy and assistance of the women who have been quietly enjoying their returned peace and holding up the hands of their saved W8 nsdr.
