Doctors Puzzled Over the Effects OF
Constant ImbibfnE.
New York, May 26.-Peter Phelan, VIC
| tim of excessive tea drinking. still lies in
Bellevue Hospital in a critical condition.
He was little improved yesterday. and the
physicians. greatly puzzled. cannot tell
whether he will win the fight for life or
not At times he is delirious and at 9TH
ers mentally clear. but he does not realize
his condition. and believes that he will be
able to return to work in a short time. He
often drank thirty cups OF the beverage in
a day.
Phelan's case has excited the greatest
interest among medical men. DIR. George
F. Shrady. when asked yesterday for his
view Of it, said:
THE case is a very unusual one. 1t
may be. however. that Phelan's condition
may be due not SO much to the - itself as
to the fact that he tried to substitute it
fer food.
His case should not. however. deter
anyone from drinking tea in moderation.
Properly made and taken in sensible guam
titles. tea is not only harmless. but posi-
lively beneficial. 1t is the one beverage
that can be taken between meals without
harm by the average healthy person. There
is no danger that tea drinking will be car
ried to excess in this country at least. and
consider it a much more beneficial bev-
erage than beer or whisky"
In connection with the medical frater-
nity's new interest in the effects of tea
drinking on the human system. comes the
7 tea plan TO he inaugurated soon BY the
United States Church Army in
against drunkenness Colonel Hadley, the
lay director of the organization. believes
with Bishop Potter that before the indi-
vidual can be weaned from the saloon. he
must be provided with something better.
but he extends this phase to include the
proposition that something must also be
provided to take the place of beer and
strong liquors.
Tea is what Colonel Hadley proposes as
substitute. and it is the intention to
shortly open two tea saloons" in the con-
gested districts of the East Side. Coffee
will also be sold. but the advantages of
tea will be strongly urged.
1t will be dispensed over the bar by the
glass. hot or iced, with or without milk
and sugar. with lemon if so desired or in
any other style called for. 1t will also
be sold dry and instructions given to the
purchasers in its preparation.
The first of the tea saloons will be OPEN
ed about June l. at the open Door Mis-
sion. 76 Allen Street. Workmen are now
engaged in transferring the ground floor.
which has been used as meeting room.
Workers of the Church Army have been
at work for some weeks making vigor-
Gus canvass among the tenement dwellers
in the interests of tea. In order to popu-
larize the tea saloon the beverage will at
first be sold at nominal price. probably
cent glass. There will be no lack of
funds to maintain the saloons. The
Church Army has among its friends and
financial supporters such men as Cornell
us Vanderbilt. f. NJ. Knox Col. f. c.

Millinery News.

The "season" for the trimmers and
milliners has just ended wound up, to
be exact, on the Saturday before Christ
mas. We are quite conservative when
we affirm that it is the longest on rec
ord. We know Of no good other store
where the millinery business is 90 long,
strong and steady. This is because
prices are eminently fair at the start.
We have not yet learned the art Of hav-
ing several prices, nor figuring as to
Chow much more can be got" for the
novelties we get from New York. "a
fair ratio of proft-or, better, a wage
for gathering and distributing is all
we ask, and the greater the volume Of
business the lower the prices. After
the longest season we can tender our
sincere thanks to you. And we do.
The reductions on the remaining
Hats will likely surprise you. For ex-
ample, there's tableful of Felt Tam
o Shanters; the lowest priced one IN
the lot was $1.75, the dearest was $500.
You can take any one Tuesday for
SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS.
And there's every wanted color.

Maybe it is; but our store news is to tell
the best news. It's better for us in the

If there is one section of the store
above another where higher prices are
more easily felt it is the Domestic sec
ton. A friend remarked the other day
that the public. did not realize how much
prices for staples HAD advanced. May
be tits true. The rise in muslin and all
cottons has only kept company with the
rise in everything else woolens, silks,
shoes, and the rest. You feel it when
rents go up; you will feel it when you
find five-cent muslins are seven and a
half cents, and every wise housekeeper
will lay in stock of these needfuls be-
fore prices jump higher. Hints follow
