A GREAT CONGRESS

The World Congress on Alcoholism
which has just closed its session in Lon
| don is the greatest of all yet held on
that subject Great people were there,
| such as DR.. Legrain of France DR..
Aschaffenburg of Germany: and of
England Sir Thomas Barlow, the
Kings physician. Sir Victor Horsley
and DR.. Mary Sturge, Joint authors of
of the valuable book "Alocohol and
the Human Body" DR.. w. McAdam
Eccles. who Is popularizing scientific
discoveries through municipal posters
and Prof Sims Woodhead of Cam
bridge University, who with many
Others signed the declaration on al
cohol. the text of which is to be found
In this issue under Notes on the Con-
gress." DR.. Hercod of Switzerland,
head of the International Temeprance
Bureau was there, and of course our
own folks from this country.
Many of the addresses of those on the
program are worthy of reproduction in
full. We have given considerable
space to some of them i'm this issue
of The Union Signal, and later on we
hope TO publish Others from which
we have made only brief extracts.
The Congress was great because of
the advance ground It took on total
abstinence and prohibition. IT. Is a
far cry from the moderation spoken
Tor In the earlier Congresses to the
declarations of the Twelfth Congress.
1t was great because of the stand II
took for the protection of children, es-
pecially in regard to their compulsory
education and infavor of voluntary
total abstinence socltes among them.
IL was great in it's breadth of
ihought--giving earnest attention To
international prohibition of the sale
Of liquors to the unclvilized and half
civilized races of the world :,
We are proud OF the honohable and
able delegates representing this govern
ment and of their valuable contribu-
tions To the program. We are proud of
thet wo who represented the National
Woman's Christian Temperance I'm
ion. DR.. Crafts says. "The most no.
table contribution to the medical dis
cussions, by American delegates, was
that by Mrs. Martha NJ Allen;" and
Mrs. Edith Smith Davis had great op-
portunlties to represent the Scienti-
Tic Temperance Instruction work and
was great enough to fill then. ali with
her great theme.
Then there was the great prohibition
map, sent from this Office, which filled
all horizons from time to time: so the

itself as having contributed an impor
tant part of the greatness of this, the

Supply of Good Celery

Promises New Record
Chicken salads have been popular
summer. They have also been expen-
sive,be caused the high price of chic
kens.
One Of the main reasons for the pop
ularity of chicken salad has been the
unusual quality Of the celery used in
making them.
Comencing with an early season,
celery promisest make a new record
this year, especially from the stand
point of quality Salads are drawing
principally upon the supply of this veg
etable, and have become so popular as
> a result of the excellence Of it that the
lcelery supply is being consumed as fast
as produced.
The celery season will not be on in
full blast until October The New York
seasons,has every prospect of being a
good one, however, with the result that
celery should be as popular when the
oyster season comes on as it is now
with salads.
Fried egg plant is a dish that is pop
ular this summer. but. in this case, the
price, as compared with last year. is in
favor OF the consumer. This is the
result of a heavy supply of the vegeta-
bic having been produced on nearby
farms. Quantity, however, has not les
sened the effect of quality, and the dish
gives no indication, as yet, of losing its
popularity.

Her KINGDOM FOR A pRESS.

HER KINGDOM FOR A DRESS.
Margaret North, a pretty nineteen
year-old school girl of Chicago, repre-
sented herself as another person and
secured gown in which she could
outshine her girl companions at
party.
The girl was afterward arrested and
acknowledged in court that her long
ing for fancy clothes led her to COM
NIT the illegal act.
The Judge fined her S25. which was
paid by her father.
According to the fathers statement.
the girls humiliation might have been
dress. She wanted TO emulate the ex-
ample of girls whose parents were
rich.
my daughter has frequently told
me-" he said. that unless she could
be dressed as we'll as her chums they
would not want to associate with her
''My daughters sad case should be a
warning to other giss Of middle cir
cumstances who try 20 emulate girls
whose parents are wealthy"
Mr.. North says his daughter asked
him with tears in her eyes for a new
gown for the select party. He felt be
could not afford to crafty her. On
the impulse of the moment she secured
the gown by false pretenses and made
the misstep which brought her bitter
disgrace and her family deep chagrin.
The lesson is not merely for girls.
1t is for schoolteachers and parents.
The public school is or ought to be
a pure democracy. Any considerable
distinction of the pupils by way Of
dress defeats the equality and frater-
nity OF the school and should be
/ frowned upon. Every child should be
made to feel entirely at home in the
schoolroom.
Parents should keep the desire for
expensive school clothes out OF the
heads OF their girls.
II matters not If the parents are
financially able to buy fancy clothes
They are out OF place in the school
room.
Besides
Such dressing fosters a trait in girl
that needs no encouragement. In
stinctively they desire TO wear pretty
clothes. but these need not necessarily
be expensive clothes. There is plenty
OF time further on in their lives fol
elaborate and costly toilets.
Poor Margaret North.
Desire for dress. that craving fol
beautiful things which has ruined the
lives Of so many women, has made OF
her an early victim. She has paid hel
penalty.
How many youthful hearts have
ached and yearued and suffered
hearts OF the myriad children Of th'
poor.
