CHICAGO, Dec. 13.-Kate Field last

Club, which is conducting Campaign

prohibition is Incorporate. During her
talk she said: Alcohol is in everything.
The Creator understood His work, and
let US accept the situation. In human
stomachs indigested food ferments and
alcohol results. Every dyspeptic is a
walking distillery. Must they be abol-
ished? Ii SO, goodly number of our
own race must perish. Total abstainers
eat great quantities of sweets. These fer
ment, aud the prohibitionists themselves
form a grand Gordon of illicit distiller-

Miss Field said that the moderate use
of beer and wine, both pure, and the es-
chewing of liquors would promote true
temperance. High license and an upris-
ing against adulteration will result in
untold good.
