Help for tn. Hard prinksr.

The June number of the Century
Magazine gives its readers an article
by DR.. Charles b. Towns, entitled
Help for the Hard Drinker." The
article deals with a phrase of the sub
ject that has received too little at
tention from the medical and scfen-
tifical world. The assertion is made
that chronic alcoholism is a disease
and that society is bound to provide
for its clinical study and to provide
facilities for the care of it's victims.
Speaking of the spiritual and mem
tai qualities of the hard drinkcr. the
writer says:
The people of the world in general.
and especially the people of the Unit
ed States, are asking some more oues-
tons about the cost of alcohol-not
Its cost in money, but it's cost in men.
Ihey are questions which statistics
cannot answer. which, indeed, can
never be definitely answered.: hut we
Know enough to be assured that if an

appalling. With increasing unanim-

SURELY THE HOBBLE
SKIRT Is TO BLAME

Hobble skirts. tube skirts ana other
skirts of fashionable design and mar
row circumference constitute a men
ace to the prosperity of the sheep in
dustry of the world, according to DR.
w. H. Lytle of this city, state sheep
inspector, and he has already issued
a warning to the woolgrowers of Ore
gon to use their power and influence
in banishing such feminine styles to
the realms of things forgotten. DR..
Lytle estimates that during the past
year the wearing of skirts containing
a minimum yardage has reduced the
amount of wool used in the manufac
ture of fabrics here in the United
States by at least S3,0O0,OOO pounds.
statistics show said the doctor
this morning, that the amount of
wool used last year in the United
States was only 447,9Ss.OOO pounds
which is 12S,2S1,0 pounds less than
the year before. At least one third of
this decrease was caused by the
styles in milady's skirts. The WOOL
men are aroused and may usurp the
prerogatives of the Partisan modistes
in the dictation of fashions. The re-
storation of the hoop skirt of our an
cestors is the hope and desire of all
woolgrowers but they will be content
! if the styles make only normal
change. Already they are encourag-
ed by the increase in the length of
the skirts this season and if only a
little more cloth will be used toward
making the skirts more like a funnel
and less like tube, all will be well,
The modern scanty skirts have been
condemned many times by reason OF
their discomfort. inconvenience, lack
of beauty and grace and vulgarity but
this is the first time they have beer
accused of injuring great industry
and it remains to be seen whether the
new charge will have more effect thar
the others.
