Recently Mrs. Crow, lady of Vir-

The subject to which you refer and
ask my advice is one In which your
own conscience must dictate the wisest
course for yourself to pursue. You
have better opportunities for knowing
how you can do the most good, and, II
seems TO me, that should be hestsnd-

all our great questions in life. II
rarely occurs that a woman needs for
herself the restraining influence OF a
temperance pledge but II by placing
ourselves under such an organization
we can better help our fathers, broth

strength OF some very vigorous repre-.
sensations made to them by persons
who claim to be sufferers from the eX-

in Now York were planted come fifty
years ago in University place, and
they now have full possession OF that
neighborhood, having been largely

spontaneously, In others parts of the

The same gentleman said that, being
an intimate friend OF ex-President

Arthur, and attributed much of his
improvement at New London to his
removal from the deadly atmosphere
which the trees create. The Brooklyn
health authorities some time ago took
action against the ailsnthus, but this
is the first official attention it has re-
ceived in New York, although DR.. Ed

its deleterious effects are undoubted
