 Special Notices by A. I. Root 



THE X.\TIONAL TP;jrPEKANCK SOCIETY OF NEW YORK. 



I feel ashamed to confess that it is only recently 

 my attention has been called to the fact that the Na- 

 tional Temperance Society of New York is not only 

 the oldrst temperance society but perhaps one of the 

 best equipped of any in the land, or may be in the 

 whole wide world. As it is non-partisan, like the 

 Anti-saloon League, I cannot understand just why 

 the Anti-saloon League has not had more to say in 

 regard to it or why it has not been more closely 

 affiliated with it. Well, this temperance society pub- 

 lishes three bright and beautiful periodicals — first, 

 the National Advocate, now in its 51st year; second, 

 the Youth's Temperance Banner, also in its 51st 

 year — one of the brightest and prettiest little month- 

 lies that I have ever gotten hold of, and The Water 

 Lily, a monthly for children, that is worth its price, 

 and ever so much more, to look at the pictures if 

 nothing else. The price of all three periodicals is 

 ridiculously low. The weekly is only $1.00 a year; 

 the Youth's Temperance Banner is only 30 cents, 

 and the Water Lily only 15 cents. If you do not 

 subscribe, send at least for sample copies and see if I 

 am not right in thinking them among the very best 

 periodicals for the home — especially a home where 

 there are children. 



XOT CERTAIN HE IS GUILTY. 



As we go to press we learn by the papers that the 

 colored man mentioned in last issue may not be the 

 guilty party after all. What about mob law and the 

 work of " mob tonic " noiv ?
