Sedatives Are False Frienos.

Referring to the subject of worry,
drugs and drink" DR.. G. W. Saleeby,
fellow Of the Royal Society Of Edin-
burgh, develops a theory that is Of
singular interest in light of the recent
alcoholic discussions that have been
exciting scientific circles. He writes:
1.-THE habitual use Of sedatives, such
as alcohol, opium, morphia, choral, CO.
caine and their allies, is to be con-
demned without qualification as false
In principle and fatal In result. 1t is
true that these drugs will M and all
relieve worry, Danish care and procure
peace Of mind, but it is as true that
the worry, the care and the dispeace
will return, bringing seven devils with
them, and that the latter end Of the
mar who uses them for this purpose is
not peace. They are false friends"

DRINK HABIT WANING.
Temperance In Business Life h&s
Come TO Be a Necessity.

Come 10 Be, Necessity.
The English have always been not
ed as heavy eaters and drinkers. Eng
land is still one of the largest con-
sumers Of liquor per capita, and the
drink problem is a serious n in the
tight little island. But there have been
great changes in the last few years,
and there is a steady tendency toward
greater temperance in living. The Pail
Mall Gazette, in an article on the de-
cline Of old fashioned chophouses in
London, says: Thirty years ago II
was no uncommon thing to see ten OF
fifteen men out of a company Of sew
enty or eighty who went to these big
dinners of whom it would be said that.
although they were not perhaps intox-
icated, they had had quite enough.
What a wonderful change today! You
60 to similar dinners and find men
drinking no more than one glass of
champagne, literally diluted with ae.
rated water and not the slightest trace
of intoxication."
The change in this country is ever
more marked. We are learning better
how to live. In the matter Of eating
and drinking we are wiser In our day
and generation than our ancestors
were. Temperance in business and
professional life has come to be a mat,
ter of necessity. The world has nc
use for the Incorporate man. 1t does
not trust him. The mar whose mind
is befuddled by drink is not wanted in
any place Of trust or responsibility,

THE PRINCE OF LIARS,

The big double bill at the Jacques this week is causing a revival of in terest among theater-goers. Aside from the local interest In H. R. Du- rants new sketch, The Vampire, ' the playlet has much merit as the atrical offering. In it Mir Durant. has cleverly handled subject which is little used in dramatic expression and the result Is a play of absorbing interest and dramatic strengh. The piece is well played by Frank Charl- ton and Miss Holmes. The rollicking farce, The Prince of Liars" is from the pen of the well known English playwright, Sidney .Grundy. It Is In three acts and there is not a mo- ment in the piece when the audience Is not treated to merry laughter. The prince Is liar of uncommon skill and the smooth way in which he talks his way out of domestic difficulty is highly entertaining. The work of MT Hartford, Miss Nordstrom and the other members of the cast is of high order. A gold watch is given away at the matinees. Go early and get coupons on the handsome timepieces.
