How Paris Paper Grew.

Additional proof of the enormous
change in French journalism in recent
years is seer in the fact that the Petit
Partisan now comes out as q twelve
page paper. Ten years ago it was a
little four-page sheet. Then it grew to
six pages, then to eight, and has now
reached twelve. AS its circulation IS
over a million a day, it may now be
considered the best newspaper prop
erty in France. Thirty years ago NJ.

serving writs in Paris, and three yeaEs
ago he was Minister Of Agriculture.

A doctor with a large practice in the
suburbs told an Express representative
that grocers' licenses are among the great
est curses of the age. II have traced" he
said, many cases Of alcoholism among
women to this source. The evil begins with
the g~rocers' license, and in a short time the
public house is ~patronized.
Another evil is the medicated wine, the
trade in which has vastly increased during
the past few years. Scores of people who
would not touch ordinary wine or spirits
ask if they may take a little of somebody's
medciated wine. 1t is nothing but ordinary
wine to which a drug has been added.
at is my firm conviction that the use of
such wine cultivates, and in some cases,
awakens a craving for alcohol in stronger

A member of a public body in West Ham

night. The passing of well dressed women
in and out of public houses of the better

school in the East End, you would hop,
that the children sent away by the Fresh

could only take the children out of the at
mosphere in which they are compelled ia
live there might be some hope for them.
With public houses at every street cor
ner, where boys and girls play every night
for want of a better place, what wonder is
it that the scenes of drunken, fighting
women dull their perceptions and lead
them to look upon drunkenness as one Of
the usual features Of their existence

Ell doctor Vidal y Ribas calcul6
que los estragos que suele producer

dades que carecen de higienizaci6n
moderna suelen ascender q miles de
personals y que en toda Europa la ci-
fra es aterradOra, pues ascieude a un
total de tres millones.
Luego hay que convenir que la tu-
berculosis es mas calamitosa que las
guerras, inund aciones, terremotos y
otras calamidades que agobian Ia

Ahora bien, para llevar feliz
