WOMEN AND DRINK,

The latest statistics regarding nebriety are
such to considerable alarm. and We have
the reason to feel nervous for future when
remember, writer in daily paper has re-
marked that in these statistics gets no record
of the increasing number of women in the
middle and upper classes who are victims to this
terrible vice., says The Ladys Pictorial" Their
friends and medical attendants hide 1t from the
world: in many cases it is carried secretly and
only becomes known tc Mortified relatives when
there is remedy There is unhappily such
tendency nowadays to raise scares and rant that
folks with serious crusade to preach dread to say
all they know lest they should be dubbed cranks
or hamper the desired reform by getting indscreet
followers in their train But there is doubt at
all that drunkenness among women is evil
shall have to fight very strenuousy ere long unless
England and her homes 20 be ruined

Edward Howard Griggs, in recent lecture on
Modern Ideals of Womanhood," given before the
Brooklyn Institute. said in part:
The new ideal is the largest possible freedom for
woman. Now l do not that she Is TO rush
in and do ali the things that men are doing put
that 1t believed that every arbitrary restrictlon
and artificial limitation must be removed. II then
she takes up what she finds she cannot DO she
will learn her limitation in that direct1on ano take
up something In continuance of this BELIEF aG
in the same spirit demand equal pay for equal
service for and women. !.
1t is a misfortune-it is an evil-that nine out OF
ten of teachers are women. Not because they
are not good teachers-for they are-but our
children need the masculine influence Just as Inuch
as they need the feminine influence; They need 70
associate with both men and women in gettnS thelr
education. TIE qualities of each are necessary 10
the proper rounding of their character; Inc
question is. do get well trained and g1fted
women for our schools and not equal number
the former come for less money. So there Will be
no change in this situation until there Is equal
pay for equal service.
To achieve the highest. and women must be
of equal nobility of character. for that union Is
dependent upon the deepening of the content OF the
Individual OF the personal spirit In socialism this
is often forgotten. Perfect union in marriage also
demands this and yet such deepening of the con-
tent gives an added susceptibility to suffering. But
he of union be strong enough to pun the
two natures together. the larger the difference the
stronger the union. So men who have progressed
the furthest have gained certain OF the gentler
feminine qualities and demand corresponding
gain in masculine qualities in the women OF tnelT
choice the gain operating in the one case toward
the more perfect manhood and in the other toward
the more perfect womanhood, and thus increasing
he differentiation.

Al l6t6restine Salt.

We mentioned the fact last week that Chancellor Robertson refused to grant an injunction in the case of N A. Hoshall ct al vs. w. N. Wilkerson et d., case which is now pending m the Chancery Court at Forrest City. On inquiry we learn that the injunction being denied will not affect the pro. gress of the suit. The suit will go right on just as if no injunction had been asked. The prayer of the bill em. braced various matters, and temporary injunction was only one of them. Sum- mons has been issued for the resident defendants and warning order publish ed in the FORREST CITY TIhRs of this date for the non resident defendants. The daughters of Hiram Evaps will fight another battle for the inheri- tance left to them by their father in 1891, not dollar of which have they yet received according to the allegations of their bill. This fight will be watch ed with great Interest by the people of this county, and it is needless to say that the sympathy of the people Is on the side of plaintiffs. Refusing to grant a temporary injunction does not prevent the Chancellor from granting a perpetual one when the case is tried by him in May.

For this reason we want to scquaint them with what we consider one of the best remedies on the market for coughs. colds, and that alarming com. plant, croup. We refer to Ckamberlain's Cough Remedy. We have used 1t with such good results in our family for so long that IL has become household ne- csssity. By Its prompt use we haven't any duubt but that 1t has time and again prevented croup. The testimony is given upon our own experience, and we suggest that our readers, especially those who have small children, always keep it in thsir homes as safeguard against croup- Charleston IS, C.l Messenger.
