ARE ALL DRUNKARDs LIARS?
Ia a Question Which Most People
Would Answer in the At
drmatiye.

That alcoholism is a disease is a great
truth now generally admitted and recog-
nized by a consensus Of public opinion
That this disease unbalances the inner NOR
al senses, deadens the seusibilities and
destroys a mans will power is evident in
almost every case. For centuries the un-
happy and helpless victims of nervo-alco-
holic diseases have been considered as will
fully depraved and vicious creatures. 1t Is
our obvious duty to make clear and plain
the incontrovertible truth that alcoholism
is not a vice or crime but that 1t is dis
ease of the nervous system and entitled to
human consideration and skillful medical
treatment.
The Bartlett Cure is the result of scien-
titic study and research and is in advance
of all other methods of treatment for al
coholism. 1t is not an injection treatment
and is taken at home without loss of time
from business and without publicity. 1t
leaves patient in splendid physical condi-
ton. not only curing alcoholism, but cor
recting the diseases arising therefrom.
There. is nothing disagreeable about the
medicine, nothing that makes the patient
sick, but he gains strength and improves
from the first. For further particulars,

Mr.. Miller. Not long ago party of Span

new name for the old Anglo-American
Club. When the time came for drink all
around, one of the Spaniards ordered Ba-

the same The Americans, not knowing
the Spanish names of their pet drinks, all

one of the Americans dropped in with some

DREYFUs TRIAL TOMORROW.
Elaborate Preparations Have Been
Made for the Event by the
French Authorities.

RENNES, Aug. 5.-Rennes has awakened
from it's normal condition of sleepiness and
with the arrival of hundreds of journalists
from all parts Of the world and witnesses
and other actors in the Dreyfus drama,
the town is assuming an animated appear

fair, Lieutenant Colonel Georges Picquart
Colonel Picquart wore bowler hat ana llo,i,
dark suit. His train arrived at :! O'CLOCK
this evening, an hour late, and only rev
people were present at the station except
detectives and police officers. AS Colonel
Picquart entered the Garage which Maitre
Labori, counsel for Captain DreyfuS, had
waiting for him in the station yard, some
of the spectators shouted 'Vive Picquart'
and '.Eiye DreyfuS."
These shouts elicited counter cries of "a
bas Picquart' and "A mort, Feau' from
the few anti-Dreyfusites present; but the
bark of the latter was worse than their
fight, for not the slightest attempt was
made to carry out the threats, which Colo.
mel Picquart utterly ignored. He did not
give even glance to the shouterS as MS
carriage drove quickly away to a private
house in the town, after brief call al
Maitre Laborrs residence.
The authorities are apparently becoming
anxious regarding the maintenance of tran
quillity in Rennes during the trial, owing tc

Missouri's Attorney General May
Prosecute Head of the Insur-

JEFFERSON CITY, Aug. 5.-tSpecial)
Attorney General Crow is considering the
advisability of instituting suit against the
American Central Insurance Company, of
st. Louis, to collect the penalty from s.
to 500 per day for each day 1t is in the
combine to maintain rates. He may do
this, in addition to the suit for custer of
charter privileges, because it is learned
that the president of that company is the
president of the Western Insurance Union
which has maintained the rates for insur-
ance throughout the West and that his
company has always refused to make any
reductions in rates.
The following companies paid their fines
of 81 900 to-day: Palatine Insurance Com
pany, the Hamburg and Brennan Insurance
Company, the Grand Rapids Insurance
Company and the Orient Insurance Com
pany. This makes fifty-one of the seventy
three companies which have paid.

In England and Wales the lunatics on
January l of the present year totaled 105,-

shows that this spread of lunacy is not

alarming that an early official inquiry ia
