Some time ago hundreds Of men in the financial
district received letters requesting them to pur-
chase tickets for a baseball game between artists
and actors for the benefit of a hospital fund. The
letters were signed by \. Stone. Manager, Room

swindlers to represent themselves as collectors for
the charitable scheme which was connected with
the affair. 1t is known that many business and
professional men approached for contribu-
tons and that large part of them furnished
funds which never reached the proper authors

WOMEN DRINK TOO MUCH.
THE HABIT EXTENDS TO ALL CLASSES
AND is INCREASING. SAYS DIR. LOVE.


AND is INCREASING, SAYS DIR. LOVE.
'It is certain as that I live that women the
country over drinking more and more every
day. from San Francisco Newport from the head
waters of the Mississippi New-Orleans while
men are drinking less"
That was the statement that startled the Society
for the Study OF Life at fits meeting YESTERDAY the
speaker being DR.. l. n. Love. THE increase of
drinking among women is an awful a VITAL dan
ger to the yellheing of the nation" he said. 1T
is bad enough for the father to drink but far
graVer for the mother. Women cannot drink sue
cessfully Liquor bears closer relation to the pas
sions and emotions than any other article of drink
or diet, and drink poisons the brain so that
its action is no longer normal"
DR. Love asserted that the question of intemper-
ance is being solved in the business world by the
fact that men who drink even moderately
garded undesirable, and it is no longer considered
respectable to drink in business hours.
The subject OF his address was the education of
the boy and girl, and the doctor said that it
should begin the day the child is born God help
the baby with grandmother he exclaimed "It
will be trotted into indigestion and pampered
wilfulness Many frettul children are the victims
of overwrought nerves. The brighter the child the
greater the necessity for letting alone Children
should be regarded little vegetables and no eff
fort should be made to stimulate them mentally.
Parental vanity is destructive in it's workings.
Every child should be put to bed at an early hour
and carefully shielded from every form of nervous
excitement"
In the opinion of the speaker. school boards
should be composed one-third of physicians one
third of mothers and one-third of business men.
and the children should not be school until
nine years of age, unless the parents are so poor
that they would be on the streets if not school
FATHERS CARELESS OF DUTIES.
"If mothers, and particularly fathers have a
proper sense of duty, the little learn all
the earlier steps at home, and after nine years of
age are attained there is far less danger OF con-
tracing Illness. Fathers too careless of their
responsibilities to their children
Dr. Love believes that half day at school Is
long enough, and said that a good deal of the
trouble caused by insufficient number of schools
could be averted by arrangement that permit
ted one set of children to so in the morning and
another in the afternoon.
Dr. Love said that he advocated the doctrine of
Nautilus TO an extent and believed in fewer chill
dren and better ones" which sentiment greet
ed with loud applause.
The society will hold an open meeting on the sec
ond Thursday OF each month at D. m, in Livc
