WINE AND TsMrERANCE.-The following is from
the Wine Growers report
The introduction of native wines into general
use will. it is believed. promote habits Of temper

intlaming alcoholic drinks, and substituting the
use Of simple non Intoxicating beverages that pro-
mote digestion without intiaming the blood, OF de-
stroving the natural action OF the vital organs.
The Marin Journal thus comments:
Perhaps these sage wine growers think the peo-
pie don't know that nearly every proprietor OF a
wine producing vineyard of Napa and Sonoma Is a
druukari and that in some instances the wife and
children merit the same unloyeiy title
