A new and novel method Of dealing
with the liquor question is proposed by
a member Of the Minnesota Legislature,
who has introduced . bill, which makes
it = criminal offense to sell liquor to any
one addicted to using intoxicating liquors,
who is not licensed to purchase it. The
bill makes it q misdemeanor, punishable
by fine or Imprisonment. or both, to sell
intoxicating liquors to any person, who
drinks to excess, unless he presents a
license authorizing him to drink the
liquor which he desires to purchase. The
advocates OF this Measure think it so the
most practical method yet devised for the
suppression of drunkenness.

society, in an address which he has just de-
livered to that body made trenchant ar
raignment of the folly of young men who
rush in to study surgery without possessing
the necessary talent.
There is no room for reasonable doubt
that the " disastrous competition" of the
medical schools, which the physicians COM

alarming increase cf unfit medical
practitioners but the individual ply

men of no promise nor possibilities could

fession and even for these students, by let

at the outset, and by directing them tc
something for which they have an apti
tude.

ly divided, but those who wanted
to hang the prisoner won the
others over i'm an all night ses-
sion; which is the first in.

the public prejudice aroused against Onofir

the pertinacity with which it gets into all the

that he was defaulter, thought it better TO
commit suicide than face an investigation.

himself sentenced to eighteen months inn
