Responsibility of the Side Door.

Magistrate Peter T. Barlow, of New
York City, says the side door Of the saloon
is responsible for the increase of drunken.
ness among women of the poorer classes.
1T is true that drunkenness among
w5men is on the increase" he said, but
the tig,res are not startling until they are
carefully considered. An increase of
thousand or two does not mean much,
with the rapid growth of the city, until
you consider the classes that are swelling
the total. There has been a marked fall
ing off in arrests of dissolute women on
the charge of intoxieation. Their places in
the police courts have been more than
taken by women who belong to the re.
spectable working element of the city.
Tenderloin characters do not come before
us so often on charges involving intoXica.
tion, while women in the tenement dis.
tricts are before US every day.
There is no doubt in my mind that the
side door of the saloon is responsible for
the increase among the poorer women.
They cannot 60 to glittering cafes. They
will not 60 in by the front door. When
they get restless and seek diversion the
side door is a temptation. 1t also involves
a lowering of the moral standard, because
it entails concealment. The woman knows
it is not respectable to 80 into a saloon.
She soon alters her view to mean that il
is not respectable to be seen going into
saloon; it is all right so long as she is not
found out. Unfortunately, many of them
are found out by being compelled to ap.
pear in court"

A Destructive Agent,

The famous DR.. Wulfert has lately pub
lished paper on the effect of alcohol on
Europeans in tropical countries. 1t is
more dangerous, he says, than malaria or
climate fever, as it at the same time al.
fects the digestive organs, the brain and
the nervous system. Every scientist who
has spent some time in tropical countries
agrees with the opinion that the digestive
organs, the stomach and the bowels easier
get out of order in hot than in cold eli
mates, and that the breaking-down effects
of alcohol are considerably stronger in the
tropics than in more temperate climates.
A person addicted to the use of alcoholic
liquors will there have his stomach en-
tirely out of order in two weeks.
1t is the same way with the nerves. The
moderate use of alcohol continued with
the heat causes an intoierable somnolence,
weakness, heaviness in the limbs, difficulty
in working, and low spirits. The effects
on the brain show themselves by dizzi-
ness and in fits of bad temper that some
times cause real madness. These effects
of the alcohol show themselves especial
ly during the rainy time, when the air
is saturated with moisture. As proof
that these troubles really come from alco-
hol can be mentioned that the Hollanders
In India, who do not use alcoholic bever-
ages, are able. to work hard either at
mental or muscular work even during the
hottest times.-B. E. Hockert.

chiIdfsh Ideas of Beauty.

The idea Of beauty in children is
strangely varied. A teacher at q GER
tain school gave thirty children i've
minutes to think out the most beau
tiful thing they ever saw. Five chose
the moon and stars, two the sun and
one the setting sun. One of the five
who chose the moon stipulated that ne
meant only the full moon. Two chill
dren chose flowers, two scenery and
two birds. Not one chose a human
face! The snow, the rain, butter
ay, a tigers skin, salt, silver anu
gold. q brooch and pink silk all had
one vote each.

The coat is made with fronts, backs,
side backs and double underarm cores
which allow of perfect and graceful
fit. The seams at front and back eX-
tend to the shoulders and are con-
cealed by the straps. The neck is fin

CREATING A DEMAND.
How Success May Be Won by Publicity OF
the Right Kind.

HOW SuCCeSS Iudy Do "oh W
tho Right Kind.
That the advertising of any article
in q general way, If rightly done, does
create demand on the merchant, says
the Michigan Tradesman, will hardly
be questioned, although there are
some manufacturers who believe they
have demonstrated to the contrary.
Granted that the article is a good
one and something that the pubic
wants. if advertising fails to create
demand it is because the advertising
is poorly done. AS well might one
argue that given good soil and good
seed, a favoring climate, plenty OF SUM-
shine, rains and all other necessary
conditions, there would be a doubt
whether q harvest could be depended
upon or not.
A shiftless farmer, who is always
behind in planting his seed and is too
careless and indolent to properly cult.
yate or care for the growing crops,
need not expect bountiful harvest.
The same rule holds in advertising.
1t may be rightly likened to the sowing
of the seed, but there are other re-
ouirements that must be complied
with. Just as the right kind Of seed
must be sown at the proper time and
must be cultivated and cared for, so
i" is with advertising. 1t must be
seasonably done, in the right way, and
in the right place.
If we Study the methods Of any sue
cessful advertiser we will find that
there is careful planning along the
line of salesmanship and follow-up
work. ,T.-y

Fancy blouses retain all their favor
and will be much worn during the COM
ing season. This one, designed by
May Manton. includes the new cape
effect with the fashionable shallow
yoke and princess closing and is lifted
both to the odd waist and gown. The
original is made Of mauve crepe de
chine, trimmed with ecru lace and
bands Of velvet in darker shade, but
all the thinner materials Of the sea-
son are appropriate.
The waist is made with q fitted lln-
ing which closes at the centre front.
On this lining are arranged the yoke,
which closes at the left shoulder seam,
and the portions of the waist proper.
The. back is plain, drawn down IN
gathers at the waist line, but the
fronts are laid in box pleats at their
edges and both they and the sleeves
are tucked at their upper portions,
the tucks providing fulness below. Inc

Thirst Killed Moles.

W. NJ. Todd, who is n close observ-
er of natural phenomena, tells that he
has found quite a number Of moles ON
top of the earth dead, during the re-
cent severe drought. He thinks the
earth became so dry and hard that the
dirt would fall in behind them in their
runs and thus prevent their return az
usual. He says an examination showed
their necks broken in their desperate
struggles. Post-mortem examinations
showed food in their stomachs, SO that
it was not starvation.-W Winchester

Electric Hair Clipper.

Among the patents recently granted
IS one covering the combination of the
familiar hair clipper and the electric
motor. The motor is skillfully mount
ed in the handle Of the apparatus and
ats operation is controlled by an unob-
trusive button conveniently placed.
BY this means it is possible for bar
ber to make a round trip OYER young

The little motor will drive the blades
back and forth fifty times in the same
time that it is done by hand, and the
new machine has the additional ad-
vantage that it gives clean, sharp

Two Novelties of the Season.

Shirt waists with plastron effects
are among the novelties of the season
and are exceedingly effective. The
one shown on the left of the large
drawing is made of louisine silk in
shades of blue and is piped with vel
vet and trimmed with ornamental but
tons, but the design is equally well
suited to all the silk and wool waist
ings and to the cotton vestings which
are so popular. When the latter are
used the lining can be omitted and the
edges simply stitched or a trimming
of braid substituted for the piping of
velvet.

the fronts, the back and the plastron.
The back is tucked from the snoul-
6ers to the waist line to give taper
ing effect to the figure, but the fronts
from the shoulder to yoke depth only
and are gathered at the waist line.
Tie plastron is cut on a curved out
line and attached to the right sloe'
hooked or buttoned over on the LETT.
The sleeves are the fashionable ones

are charming in their effect, but the
ander sleeves can be Of the material

The design is simplicity Itself, all
the effect of elaboration being obtained
by trimming. The lining is smoothly
fitted and both it and the waist are
closed at the back. The yoke is sep
a"ate, made of combined tucking and
net, and below it the front and backs
are laid in narrow tuckS. those at the

ty-one inches wide, three and one-half
yards twenty-seven inches wide, or

Cuffs are the centre of interest in the
sleeve line this season. Otherwise
there is no radical departure in out

more toward the elbow. But the cuh
of the season, those specimens espe-
cially which adorn the more dressy
costumes and coats, seem to combine
the ideas and all the different eras in
the history of dress, and are indeed
glowing tributes to the ingenuity OF
the sartorial artist.

Facing q Terrible Fact.

San Francisco has the terrible fact to
face that there are over 5000 saloons within
her her city limits; one SALOON to every l2o orot Of
feature, many Of the saloons have grocer
stores in front, and children who 60 for
home supplies are only separated from the
evils of the saloon by swinging door, and
learn all manner of wickedness from their
earliest youth. Recently the Commission
ers of the city have decided there shall be
no further increase in the saloons, and,
also, that if any saloon goes out of exist
ence no other can resume business on that
site. Through these laws San Francisco
hopes to have less than $1,000 arrests year.

The Germ Of the Appetite.

The theory that germs of an appetite

the refuse from distilleries has suggested
itself TO Assistant State Food Inspector
for Illinois, r. NJ. Patterson. Mr.. Patter-
son has returned from Peoria, where he
found $50 distllery fed cows whose milk
had been regularly shipped to Chicago. He
enjoined the dairymen to sell no more
milk from these cattle. Il cannot say l

effect on them, and it is against the law

fibre silk is one of the important ac-
cessories of the season. 1t comes in
galloons of various widths and ap-
pliuues of different forms, which, how
ever, are invariably edged with plain
or novelty fibre braid. These will be
much used, both in millinery and dress
trimming. as will also wool embroid-
cries on chiffon or taffeta in Oriental
or pompadou colorings and cloth cut
work in two colors outlined in black
and white or pongee colored silk cord.
Garnitures of wool embroidery in null

of the crown. These are made of satin
ribbon rolled to points and made to
resemble double dahlias, the petals
being shaded from light to the deep
est golden yellow. These trim the hat,
with the addition of two small puffs OF
