With few exceptions, those injured

chiefs tied over their faces, the first

ALCOHOL BABIT GROWING.
Doctor Says That Drinking increases
Among Business Men.

Detroit, Mich. Notwithstanding
the prohibition wave that has recent
ly swept over the country, there is
every reason to believe that the al
coholic habit among business men is
steadily on the increase" declared Dr..
Frank G. Richardson of Boston, in an
address before the Society of Neurol-
ogy and Psychiatrics, held in connec-
tion with the American Institute Of
Homeopathy, which is in session here
this week.
DR.. Richardson declared that the
strenuous American business life is
producing in many of its followers a
neurosis partaking of the character
of neuresthenia, psychastehnia and
hysteria.
While DR.. Richardson held nicotine
to be also producer Of neuresthenia,
he regarded 1t as less injurious and
less destructive than alcohol.
