The Drinking and
Smoking Habits Among
American Women
BY Mrs. RUSSELL SAGE

VI y RINKING to excess among women is most deplorable, and
D while to say that drinking among men, as we'll as women is
induced perhaps by the tense, high strung, nervous condi-
tions that prevail in these days of modern high pressure Gv-
ing does not condone it, IT EXPLAINS THE HABIT in a meas
ure. People drink to get away from the strain of work and worry.
They drink to relax, and while it is doubtless gravely prevalent among
women, I do not believe the habit as bad as for women to smoke.
The smoking habit is abhorrent EVEN IN MEN, but a thousand
times worse among those of the gentler sex.
No sweet and refined American woman would do such a thing, I
believe. 1t is too dreadful a habit; IT is ACCOUNTABLE. But so
long as there is a $31 900, 900 tobacco trust L suppose that smoking.
among women will be encouraged.
SUCH A HABIT is NOT ONLY PERNIcIoUs AND DEMoRALizlNo
IN OUR OWN GENERATION, BUT ITS INFLUENCE WILL BE FELT
UPON OUR YOUTH IN GENERATIONS TO COME.

We Need More Honesty
Rather Than More Law

~ ProfaHor F. n. F1ECtEf1 OF Chcago Unversdy
E hear much in these days of the failure of the law to ac-
O complish its contemplated ends. We are confronted on
VG&@ every side by evidences of dishonesty, corruption and
BREACH OF TRUST, which not only appall us, but
often make us tremble for the safety of our institutions. :
Now | am among those who believe that more law is not our great
est need. / think / am not moved merely by professional blindness
or conceit when | say that, in the main, our laws re good and ltEA-
SONABLY ADEQUATE. Fraud and corruption, the giving and
taking of rebates, the building up of grinding monopoies, whether of
labor o capital, have not aourshed merely because there was NO
LAW against them. T.
Another alarming characteristic is the apparent sense of IRE
SPONSIBIITY OF INDIVIDUALS for the action of the groups
to which they belong. Personal responsibility is everywhere dimin-
ished as the number of participants increases.
THE TWO MOST STRIKING ILLUSTRATIONS ARE TO BE FOUND
IN THE LABOR UNIONS AND THE GREAT CORPORATIONS.

Evidently the efforts of the EVE
MING NEWS to give the people of
this vicinity a newspaper in every
sense of the word is approved by its
readers Judging from the steady in
crease in circulation during the past
few weeks. The NEWS has not only
published all the local news, but it
has kept it's readers well informed of
all the happenings all over the world.
This is more than any other evening
newspaper has done. The demand
for more copies of the NEWS by the
n~ewsdealers in all sections has been
constant and the circulation of this
newspaper now ranks with the lead
ers in all cities of this class and Is
more than double the paid circula-
ton of all local contemporaries. A
look at our circulation books woulddo
the advertisers good. The books are
always open for such examination.
If you doubt what we say, investi-
gate for yourself. Nothing could
be more fair than that. The NEWS
gives the news when it is news and
circulates in more homes of people
who shop in Perth Amboy than any
other newspaper.

Hospital Investigation.

The sensation of the day in the East
tern State Hospital investigation at Will
liamsburg was the attempt Of members
of the investigating committee to break
down and disproye the expert evidence
given by DR.. Z lwin Mcclure and DR..
r. C. Bryan on Saturday. The Rich
moud physicians had been called to
testify regarding the treatment of certain
patients by DR.. Williams, former as
sistant physician at the hospital. Their
testimony was to the effect that the treat
ment administered was the proper treat
ment.
Yesterday morning Chairman SaddleI
called DR.. Henderson 10 the stand and
endeayored to show that the statements
made BY the Richmond physicians were
moi founded on medical fact. DR.. Hen
dersou testified that he did not agree
with the Richmond experts that the
same physical treatment OF the sane and
insane was proper. DR.. j. B. Spencer,
OF Williamsburg; DR.. William ID. Iur
ner, of Isle of Wight; DR.. SOuthsll, o
the hospital, aud DR.. ID. j. King. o
Williamsburg, all testi6ed along the same
lines as DR.. Bryan and DR.. Mcclure.
