One of the worst things about whis-
ky drinking is that it catches 'em CON-

slangy expression. In prosperous times
the tippler tipples because he thinks
he can afford it: in duh times he tries
TO drown his dependency in drink. II
seems that the per capita consumption
of whisky in this country last year was
larger than in any twelyemonth within
the last quarter of century.

Sir Arthur Arnold on Newspapers.

Sir Arthur Arnold, chairman of the
London county council. in an address
made at the opening of new reading
room a few days ago. said that lit is
a high privilege to read newspapers.
for the public journals are conducted
by men deeply imbued with the liter
AZURE of their own country, and not
seldom well acquainted with the liter
AZURE of other countries" Sir Arthur
advised his hearers mot to trust peo-
pie who say the reading OF newspapers
is frivolous" That. he said. depends

reader.
