LUNACY
IS INCREASED BY ABSINTHE IN
France, and Legislators Start a
Movement to Prohibit the
Sale of the "PiSen."

The rapidly increasing consump-
ton of alcohol in France is attract
ing the serious attention of states
men, who, following the example
of Belgian and Swiss legislators,
are devoting earnest efforts to re-
strict the spread of the evil.
In both chambers important
groups have been formed, whose
members are endeavoring to secure
the enforcement of existing enact
ments and the promotion of fresh
Legislation with the view of limit
ing the number of saloons, of
strengthening the hands of the
authorities so as to improve their
supervision. and eventually forbid
the sale of absinthe as being the
most deleterious of alcoholic Ii
quors.
1t is agreed that the enormous
augmentation in the percentage of
lunatics among the population of
recent years, is for the most part
due to drink, and that the habit is,
besides, having a general deteri-
Grating effect on the nation.
The Senator's taking part in the
agitation have obtained an assur-
ance that the Cabinet will strongly
support the movement.
