DRINKERS DISEASE VICTIMS.
Alcohol as Related to the Health Of
the Masses.

Recent statistics seem to show that
the. deathrate from tuberculosis
among manual workers is from two
to three times as high as among
the mercantile. agricultural and pro-
fessional classes and the causes for
this excessive mortality are being
earnestly sought by intelligent
students of social problems. There
can be little doubt that one reason
lies in the unhygienic surroundings
of the home while another lundoubtet-
ly lies in the unhygienic surroundings
of the workshop. In New York: George
F. Dugan, secretary Of the Transfers,
union, and the Rev Charles Stezles of
the State Charities association, are en-
deavoring to work on these lines. and
in connection herewith they have I'M
dertaken to investigate the relation
which the saloon holds to the i'll
health and other ills of the working
classes. Mr. Steele has sent to every
union in the city circular containing
IL questions, covering the whole
ground of the relationship between the
saloon and the working people, and
ascertaining the action taken in rela-
ton thereto by the said union. All
previous evidence adduced in this re-
lation contributes to the general opin-
ion. held by social reformers that the
saloon as the poor mans friend" is
really one of his worst enemies. ii

The Woman Who Is Always Right.

We all have met her-the woman
whn lays down the law-and most of
us regret the meeting
NoEmatter what is unlcr discussion.
she has her opinion and does not hest
tate to proclaim it, That she knows
nothing of the subject makes no diff
ference in her righteousness.
Her voice is usually rasping. her
words staccato and her emphasis
sharp. She may not intend to be dis
agreeable, but the effect is not altered
by intentions
y The Irritation of disturbed hornets
nest is mild compared with the feel
fngs aroused by the layer down of the
law Even when in the right her wis
dom is hated on general principles.
She can stir up more opposition than
a motion to raise taxes. You go out
of your way to thwart her and make
yourself uncomfortable. doing what
she does not wish. :
Silent protest or open pugnacity Is
the usual attitude of her hearers. The
good tempered sufferer revels when
the town regulator strikes a scrapper.
Tact is not her long suit. The more
reason there is for silence the louder
is her expression of opinion. Her
knowledge of where her own business
ends is scant.'
1t is the layer down of the law who
can be depended upon to, say the
wrong thing every time. She it is
who makes it her business to take
meek little wife to task for her hus-
bands shortcomings or widens
breach by, telling both combatants
their. duty
If only she knew how great is her
conceit! Most people find regulating
their own lives so difficult that they
are slow to think themselves capable
of including the rest of mankind In
their managing. Seeing both sides Is
not her chief characteristic. Her way
is the right way. and woe to the one
who differs. Arguing is as futile as
the fight with old age.
You might stand her better If only
she. were ever in the wrong. To be
able just once to convince the regu-
lator that her opinion is unfounded we
would cheerfully consent to be boss
ed the rest of our days.
She would be easier to bear if her
rulings were from the height of SUI
periority. Too often the director Of
the morals and manners of others Is
far from being invulnerable herself.

When Raooy Below the Ewes,

If you are puffed or baggy below
your eyes be sure one of two condi-
tons exist-either there is danger from
the kidneys or the eyelid is inflamed.
The first needs the diagnosis of a
doctor. You can tell the second for
yourself by standing before n mirror
and gently turning back the lower
lid Should it look scarlet or be COW
cred with tiny granules then be sure
that is one cause at least OF the puff
ness. Though it is better to consult
an ocu.ist at once. until you do you
can battle the eyes with weak solu-
ton Of boracic acid and water to which
have been added few drops Of cam
phor. Hot congresses will also give
relief. and the puffiness may be gently
massaged
