DRUNKENNESS
AMONG WOMEN

English temperance societies have
discovered TO their dismay that. while
the nations drink bill was less last
year by about sS0,o0o.0Oo than It was
the year before, the habit OF drinking
Is increasing among women. Tho
population at large doesn't average 30
much intemperance, but women aver
age more, which the temperance So
oieties consider a bad lookout for the
homes
1t was at the International Congress
on Alcoholism, which met lately IN
London. that these facts we're brought
out. The bishop Of Croydon prints
some comments IN the London Stand
ard. where he AYERS that he has mot
the slightest doubt that among the
leisured classes and members Of FASH
ionable society there is a great deal OF
secret drinking and drug taking" A
physician in one OF the large towns IN
the south Of England told the bishop
he says. that among his patients were
n round dozen Of women who
Thought nothing Of consuming a bot
tie Of champagne at a sitting" The
pace OF modern life is at the bottom OF
II, the bishop adds-the rapidlty. the
excitement, the strain put on these
people by tho constant round OF
gnyety."
However. II isn't only these women
who drink. Women whose lives are
anything but a round OF gayety appear
70 be causing the temperance soeie-
ties a good deal Of anxiety. The Wo-
mems Central Union Board OF the
Church Of England Temperance society
sent out letters OF inquiry to physi-
clans last year, and most Of those who
answ wered agreed that drinking had de-
creased among the educated and busy
classes Of women, that It was increes-
ing among wealthy women, but that
among the wives OF worl<iugmen there
was a marked increase.

his casters into this bunch, will
make it very interesting. Iron

"The Missouri Senate is now get

good, bad and Indifferent. Like
an ostrich, it swallowed whatever
came it's way and left the Senate
to do the digesting. The Senate
had no recourse. If it fixed a bill
the House promptly unfxed it.
The whole game seemed to be, on
the part OF the House, to put the
Senate in a hole, and the Senate
could do nothing but kill the bills
in self-defense and in defense OF
the state. Abuse of the Senate
under the circumstances is unfair

BY what authority of fact do we
virtuously rise up and forbid the
landing of Castro, Ex-President OF

neither pauper nor anarchist, nor
an enemy to this country. Then,
why join in the hue-and-cry rails
ed by the foreign powers against
him? | suppose he is held by the
powers that be as san undesirable
citizen" but he doesn't ask citiz-
enship with US; only the privilege
of visiting ''the land of the free
and the home of the brave" That,
while President, he refused to let
the enterprising syndicates exploit
the Venezuelan asphalt deposits,
seems, to the common mind,
scarcely sufficient cause for the
ton of the nations against him {;

in the way of minerals, in the next
decade.

ship, which measured about three
feet in length, and had seven rat
ties and a button.
