WHERE IS YOUR SIGN?
Liquo: signs are everywhere. Go about the . country in the railway trains, and large posters proclaiming the merit of “good Scotch” are staring at you in every station. Walk along city streets, and liquor signs meet the eye on every side. Magazines and newspapers are full of I liquor advertising. W alking signs, the direct product of the enterprising advertisers and sellers of liquor, are all too frequent in country and in town. People come and go, and you wonder who of all this throng are the victims, vho the supporters, and who the opponents of this great business. Where are the signs? Where do the temperance people keep their signs? The W.C.T.U. women have a most excellent one —the white ribbon. Why is it seen so seldom? If the women only could and would see tfoe importance of wearing it! This bow of white ribbon is not an ornament, although it adds something and detracts nothing from the dress of the wearer, nor is it a mere sentimental fad. It stands for a principle. It is the silent protest against a shameful wrong tr> God, to home, (to native land. It requires no time, no appreciable sum of money, no eloquence, no education, to do this little thing— to wear the white ribbon sign faithfully. This is something every woman can do. Where is your sign ?—“W.C.T.U. Bulletin.”
