sity also for newsboys. under 16 years
Of age. Registers of probate are
stricken from the list of public officers
who can issue permits for children be-
tween the ages of IA and 10 years to

bill Is in the clause in regard to per-
formances by children on the stage.
Children connected with professional
troupes have heretofore been omitted
from the operation of the. law. The
new clause on this subject reads:
No child under IA years OF age

circus, theatrical exhibition or in any
public play except upon the special
permission of the commissioner of

u unicipal judge or judge of a jeyen-
IL court of this state if the child is
resident of the state, and by a mu-
nicipal Judge or judge Of juvenile

resident of this state. But the pro-
visions Of this section shall not pre-
vent the education of children in mu.

SCIENCE To SOLVE
ALCOHOL PROBLEM
INTERESTING REVELATIONS BY
DIR. J. D. cRoTHERs BEFORE
INVESTIGATIONS.
INVESTIGATIONS S.

Washington, D. c. Men. ls.-Dr.
7 D. Crothers OF Hartford Conn.
Superintendent Walnut Lodge hos
pi-al. in a paper on The Future OF
the Alcoholic Problem. read yester-
day before the American Associa-
tion for the study and care Of one
affirmed that at present there
are positive indications of the early
solution of this great problem by
means and measures that cannot be
mistaken,
I. Experience and laboratory re
search have shown alcohol to be a
narcotic and its effects on the system
produce distinct disease both cur
able and preventable.
2. This question is one of public
health and sanitary science. The sa-
loon for the promotion OF the sale OF
spirits is a center for the promulga-
ton of this disease, and is doomed
TO extinction from a larger and more
exact knowledge.
3. Science shows that alcohol as
an anaesthetic has value in med
icine, but its real power is that of
fuel, light and force producer
L. That cheap alcohols can be
made from a great variety OF sources
that viii be active competitors to
electricity, gasoline and steam.
). What is needed is the invention
of boilers. lamps and means to util-
lie and make practical this great pow
er of alcohol.
6. Every distillery and brewery in
the country will be required for the
manufacture and distribution of cheap
alcohols when the inventor supplies
the missing links.
7. Alcohol win become one of the
great rivals of electricity to do the
worlds work, because it can be made
from the waste and by products in
every section of the country.
8. Beer, spirits and all other forms
of alcohol as beverages will disappear
when the inventor shows us how to
harness and utilize this new latent
power of civilization.
9. The future of the alcoholic
problem will be followed by a great
revolution in commercial industry and
will be question of sanitary science
and inventors skill

MAN|TOBANS IN
A LIQUOR CRUSADE
LEGISLATORS, HOWEVER, POINT
TO FAITHFUL OBSERVANCE
OF LICENSE LAWS.

Winnipeg, Man, March 1S.-The
temperance party of Manitoba has be-
gun campaign for the Punishment of
all liquor from the province.
At a recent sitting of the provincial
parliament a petition bearing some
10000 names was presented to the
house, but no legislation prohibiting
the sale of liquor in Manitoba was in
PRODUCED. Now that the petition has
received but scant attention, the tenn
perance workers are determined to
wage the fight with renewed vigor.
All the old arguments against the
liquor trade are being brought to the
front and propagated from one end of
the province to the other.
The Legislators poins out that the
liquor license law in Manitoba is more
faithfully carried out by the saloon
and hotel interests than in any other
province in Canada or any state In
the union Under the laws every bar
must close at II p. m. and remain
closed until a. m. except on Satur-
days, when the closing hour is $3.50 p,
M, and then the bars remain closed
until Z a. m. the following Monday.
There are but few violations of this
law and the closing and opening
hours are interpreted to mean exact
ly what they say, only minutes grace
being allowed in either case and fail.

HorsepIay.

Madison, March 15.-The house en-
joyed little horseplay during short
session. The frisky spirit developed
over the Leuch bill whose purpose
was to forbid the rather whimsical
killing of old horses by their owners.
Before a horse can be put out Of the
way as worthless, Mr.. Leuch would
have some veterinarian affirm the
uselessness of the poor creature. The
act was conceived In humanity. That
is obvious; but the solons seemed to
think that execution of such a law
would prove impractfcable. Mr.. Luech
spoke for the bill and Mr. Kull be-
lieved that the horse that had served
us faithfully. perhaps pulled US out
of many a hole,' had earned kindly
treatment in its old age. Mr.. Leroy
thought the fit disposition of his prop
erty lay with the owner, while Mr..
Mains limited at freak Legislation like
the anti-tights bill. whereat Mr..
Hughes (author of the anti-tights bill
two years ago. exhibited some evil
dence of taking notice. Mr.. Ingalls,
suggested the possibility of class
| Legislation, since the act was meant
especially to favor horses, and Dr.
Frank Smith could see no good reason
why before an old horse could be shot
or sold the consent of a veterinary
| was necessary. Mr.. Buslett also took
| a shot at the measure. Mr.. Scott
wanted it sent to the committee on ag
riculture and some one else to the ju
dietary, but the house preferred to kill
the proposal off-hand; and it did.
Mr. Cleary presented joint reso
luton in favor of final adjournment
on or before May Z. 1t lies over.
In spite OF the absence of a quorum
the senate passed two important bills
They were one by Senator Morris
providing that barbering should not
be held as q work of necessity OF

Ilating to the sale Of tobacco to minors
The former prohibits the keeping
open OF barber shops on Sunday and
the latter forbids the sale OF tobacco
