1t will be further noted that the
drink bill of our country gradually in
creased to the year 1898, when it
reached the highest point.
Since that year it has gradually de-
clined. 1t is manifest that the hard
times is one cause of the decline, and
we believe that the increased agitation
of total abstinence, the action of rail-
roads and other corporations forbid
ding the use of intoXicants by their
employees, as also the growth of the
temperance sentiment are among the
potent causes for this decrease. That
liquor dealers are aware of this fact
and are more active, contesting every
inch of ground that is wrested from
them, ali admit.
But asst is the drink bill is enormous.
If it be true that man can live longer
and do more work without than with
intoXicants, then we must say what an
enormous waste each year!
According to DR.. Hargreaves, our
nation expended in 1896 $4,000 900
in round numbers. The public debt of
the United States December /, 1897, was
81, 800, 900, so that our drink bill
would have paid our debt within $780,
100000. Ii was equal to the entire cir
culating medium of our country on
June l, 1897, lacking $4O0,OOO,000.
This nation drinks every year the
value of the annual product of wheat,
corn, rye. buckwheat, potatoes, gold,
silver, iron and petroleum, and this is
done largely by people in limited cir
cumstances. Is it any wonder we hear
the cry of poverty?
We believe the above figures are re-
liable. They are the result of care
full and painstaking investigation by a
thorough student and conscientious
man. They certainly contain food for
reflection. Wipe out the drink traffic,
business that is now pushed with a
view to reach as large 4 number of
drinkers as possible, and a new wav
of prosperity would sweep over our
country such as we have never before
rienced.-National Temperance
Advocate.

DRUG HABITUES.
How the Habit Is Spreading and
Affecting Women Abroad
Case In England.

Much has been written recently about
the increase of the use of drugs by
women in this country. A titled lady in
England has recently been obliged to
go to Germany for 8 surgical recon
struction of her nose, and the cause
therefor is thus related by Anne Nor
ton Lane in the Chicago Times-Herald.
The story of how it became necessary
for her to lose her nasal organ is rath-
err a sad one. 1t seems that for some
years this very well-rnown dame has
been addicted not only to an overin-
diligence in the liquid pleasures of the
table, but also she has had recourse to
that dangerous drug called cocaine,
which she applied by inserting a small
instrument into her nostrils and in
jecting the fluid in this way. Some time
time ago it was found to be absolutely
necessary to endeavor to break her of
this horrible craze, and so she was
placed under reatment, and gradually
it was hoped that the habit would be
discontinued. However, it is a difficult
matter at any time to stem a woman's
appetite, OuCC GU lOi III hS - anu
in one of her frenzied moments she sue
ceeded in securing some cocaine, and,
placing it on the end of hairpin,
pushed it up her nose. Unfortunately,
the hairpin was not quite long enough,
and she pushed it rather too far and
completely lost it, so that a surgical
operation was necessary to recover the
mislaid instrument. The effect of this
little misadventure seriously damaged
the bone of her nose. which became dis
eased. hence the necessity of the journey
to Berlin and the severance of that i'm
portant feature of her face by the surg
ical knife.
