The Rev. G. W. Mcpherson, who in a speech in
New York recently said. "While New York is the
w.ckedest city IN the United States, Chicago Is
worse-so bad that it cannot be called American;
II isn't civilized" is severely arraigned In

that the Incorporate of the tongue is
baneful than the Incorporate use of alcohol or
other drugs that kill; the latter poisons the in

wounds the reputation Of maI4y.' The association

its bank deposits and tho number OF wage earners
at work. and its charities. One of the statements
is that Chicago has sxty-nine hospitals. a larger
number in proportion to population than any other
large city in the country. notwithstanding 1t has
tho lowest death rate of all OF them"
