AGoOd Idea.

The Toledo Blade in an article com mending the "Anti Treating League, :" lately formed of members of the famous "Union League" of Philadelphia, says:
 "A large share of the intemperance which is such curse to American socie- ty is not only promoted, but was large ly originated by the purely American habit of treating The habit is found- ed on false idea of hospitality. If a man is hungry he goes into restaurant and does not feel the necessity of invit- ing any friend or party of friends to join him in satisfying his hunger. Why should he, if he feels thirsty, deem it any more incumbent on him to call up- on his friends to share his potations? {? The formation of anti-treating leagues seems to be feasible means of com bat ing the habit and gradually uprootiug the mistaken idea of hospitality which Is its root and origin"
 Such leagues are being started in Connecticut. Information concerning the movement may be obtained by ad- dressing League Rockville, Conn, P. O. Box, 1006.
