Nhiskey at the Dinner Table.

Father DOYLE OF the Paulist Fathers
made some interesting statements in an
address to the Veronica League the
other night. His remarks were in re-
gard to the growth in this city of the
habit of drinking whiskey He said that
if one went into any cafe he would see
men and women at every table drinking
whiskey. Attend a public banquet
there is glass for whskey at every
place"
AS to the presence of the whiskey
glass at the banquet table we are in
clined I'd agree with the good father
Whiskey and water or whiskey and
soda are coming more and more into
favor at the dinner table, not only at
public banquets, but at home; and we do
not hesitate to declare that the change
is for the better. The older custom of
drinking at elaborate banquets a long
programme of wines, including sherry,
claret, champagne and burgundy, a
custom which has by no means died out,
is very bad one. Any physician can
testify that continued indulgence in
the vaudeville method of imbibing is

likely to result in govt or rheumatic
Affections.
When the era OF the aching joints
dawns upon man the doctor will tell
him to stop drinking all liquors except
whiskey. OF all spirituous drinks that
seems to lie the least harmful. Inc
man who takes a little of it, judiciously
diluted, for his dinner every day VIII
be a better man at fifty than he VINO
follows the older custom and punlshes
his bottle of burgundy and his pint OF
champagne; and he will not have any
particular craving for the pony OF
brandy or the seductive and destructive
