The VOICE OF SCIENCE.

Another solar plexus blow has been
dealt the liquor traffic. The alienists
and neurologists OF the United States,
assembled in convention in Chicago.
adopted resolutions condemning alco-
holic beverages and recommending
that the various state legislatures take
steps to eliminate their use.
1T has been definitely established"
this body of scientists affirmed, that
alcohol when taken into the system
acts as a definite poison to the brain
and other tissues, and that the effects
of this poison are directly or indirect
~ responsible for large proportion
Of the insane, epileptic, feeble-minded
and other forms of mental, moral and
physical degeneracy."
They unanimously resolved: THAT
organized science should initiate and
carry on systematic, persistent pro-
paganda for the education of the pub
lie regarding the deleterious effects of
alcohol" And further, "That the med
ical profession should take the lead in
oCSui LA6 eIuOHudlC tC6IoLRIAOH W bAS
ends herein specified"
The report of the committee on the
prevention of insanity included the fol-
lowing resolution: THAT we recon-
mend to the proper state authorities
the absolute control of the sale of al
cohol." 1t was adopted with little dis
cussion.
According to Dr. Bayard Holmes
professor of surgery in the Chicago
College of Physicians and Surgeons,
this is the first time on record in this
country that medical convention has
officially pronounced alcoholism to be
a positive factor in insanity, and such
action Is bound to have far-reaching
influence.

IN NORTH DAKOTA

r. VI
"The population of our state has
nearly doubled since temperance went
into effect. The assessed valuation
has increased more than threefold.
The per capita bank deposit Is now
$13S. The per cent of illiteracy was
reduced in ten years from Sc to 81
per cent. The per capita wealth has
nearly doubled 1t was $1,114 in 1890
and is now $4,000. We have only IA
prisoners for every 5000 population
Eight counties in the state have no
prisoners IN the penitentiary, nine
counties have but one each, and IL
counties have but two each. Out of
so counties, AZ have no poorhouses,
and the few scattering poorhouses in
the state have but few inmates. There
are few county hospitals where poor
people are cared for If necessary.
Fourteen county jails are reported
empty. Four counties have no jails,
and several county jails have but one
or two prisoners. Pembina county
has had no prisoners in Jail for two
years and has not had to call jury
to try criminal case for a year and
a half at time"

FLOWER ON HER LEFT HIP
The Parisienne Recently Has Made >
Smart Transfer for Her Ball
Gown Posy.

There is seemingly no abatement in
the liking for artificial flowers among
the Parisiennes. They are placed ir-
regularly ON the skirt under tulle
tunics, they are used at the shoulder
slngly or in the form of straps Pre-
met has white. satin evening frock
held over the shoulders with straps of
deep yellow roses-they band the
waist, they edge the lace capes and
they rest pertly ON the left hip.
That is the really new position for
the artificial flower-at the front of
the left hip. And it must be a big.
conspicuous flower. too, to be truly
smart
A pink satin evening frock, much
trimmed with silver gauze, shows a
big magenta flower fastened on the
left hip ON the tulle tunic.
Not yet has the boutonniere for the
street suit appeared on the left hip;
that is still worn on the left shoulder.

TafFeta in Favor.

Taffeta, it is predicted, will remain
in favor for many months more. 1t
is especially well adapted to the blouse
of the present moment, which is not
so full and blousing as it was few
months ago. 1t is more like the fitted
basques that are shown on some OF
the new gowns-for it outlines the
figure. F1lmy chiffon and net and lace
are far better adapted to the blousing
styles that are leaving us than to the
trimmer, tighter styles that seem to
be coming to US. But taffeta is an
ideal fabric for this newer type of
blouse and it is now being used widely

anAok MIrA rHE sALooN.n

(By LUCIA FAXON ADDITION. OF the
National w. c. n. U, Labor Depart
ment, in the Union signal)
In connection with the national
movement to prevent industrial acct
dents. ETC., we find a crusade. Back
with the saloon" This crusade was
resolved upon it seems. at {, session
OF the Foundrymen's association con-
ference held last October. 1t Is truly
significant-a straw telling the way Of
the wind. A committee was appoint
ed which completed win represent
every state. 1t will enlist the CO.
operation Of the governors, state leg
islatures and license commissioners.
Thomas D. West, manager of the
Steel Foundry company of Cleveland,
chairman OF this committee, in re-
cent article in The Survey (Deoem
Der 20) gives conclusive arguments
why the slogan, Back with the
saloon" is "a safety first measure.
He states that the very fact that sal
oons cluster round industrial plants,
especially near the entrances and ex-
it's, demonstrates that the patronage
of the factory hands is greatly priced.
Tipplers among these men are bound
to be less cautious than others even
though employed in dangerous trades,
he declares, adding that saloons near
establishments having machinery are
prime contributing factors to the acct
dents occurring and that this fact
alone should interest every manufac-
turer society, state and municipal au-
thority now taking active part in our
nations crusade Of safety first"
Think OF the inconsistency of COM
pensation laws making employers Ii
able to the payment OF heavy in
demnity while at the same time our
laws license saloons to be located next
door to factories to sell employees

fuddles their brains thus. without

STYLE OF MUCH VALUE
FEW PEOPLE CAN AFFORD TO DO
WITHOUT 1T.
Means So Much to its Possessor That
Its Acquisition Must Be Deter
mined On at No Matter What
Sacrifice.

sStyle has an appreciable INTRINSIC
value all its own. Il is a rather elu-
siVe commodity, but there are occa'
sions, and they are not infrequent,
when it viii achieve victories as
surely and in the same way as person
atty can and does. 1t is an all-embrac'
ing possession; it affects appearance
tone and manners.
Its value today is higher than it ever
was Few people can really afford to
10 without it. It's influence is far
reaching, and no one can say where
The end of its effect is likely to be.
And yet with it all-and it can GER
tainly be regarded as commercial
asset MISREPRESENTATION few
people seem to trouble themselves
about acquiring it. For it can be ac-
quired. II it happens to be born in
you so much the better, of course. But
you are not in the least hopelessly
handicapped if it does not happen to
come about in this pleasant way.
1t may have to begin with your way
of walking. TO walk badly is to hit
at the root of style. 1t is so easy to
walk as if you were sure of yourself.
and as if, at least. you felt you had
some right to walk. A slovenly walk
and slouching walk are usually ow-
ing to sheer laziness and carelessness.
1t is impossible to enjoy any style
If your clothes are cut badly. Better
to go to tailor with a good cut and
comparatively poor cloth than a tailor
with good cloth and bad cut The
bad-fitting garments of the cheap tailor
and dressmaker are an abomination
and will spoil anyone's appearance.
Shoes, hats and gloves are no less
important. A hat, in fact, is one of
the most difficult things to decide
upon. There are so many shapes that
a woman has hard work not to be
tempted away from the safe shape. A
hat out of sympathy with the rest Of
the outfit strikes a terribly Earring
note. The tying of tie and shoe
lace are just as important in their
way .@.
An absurd display of cheap jewelry,
which includes rings and curious
chain necklaces, too much fluffiness
about the neck, a hat trimmed out of
all proportion to the rest of the attire,
seem to have, for some amazing rea-
son, rather more than the attraction
of magnet for many girls They may

adoption of one incongruity, to put it
kindly, they viii ruin. hopelessly, tf<
whole effect.
Everything, from the smallest to the
largest detail, should receive equal con-
sideration. A girl must see-and these
are vital points-that her shoes are
always clean and well polished; that
her gloves are always in good -eondi-
ton and clean; that there is at least
no visible hole in her stocking, espe-
cially above the shoe heel, and that
her skirt is continually being well
pressed. Style is dependent upon all
these little things being attended to-

FASHIONS FANClES


AT the present moment the charm
OF the costume depends on, the little
things.
White organdie is everywhere--in
collars and blouses and girls white
dresses.
There is nothing like the dark silk
kimonos, very plainly made, for trav-
cling.
Dolly Warden bonnets are trimmed
with roses and blue ribbon streamers.
Long belted redingotes are really
here-close-fitting garments with set
in sleeves.
In Paris fur is being worn on lace
hats-and the effect is not odd, but
delightful.
Silver and gold embroidered lace
and tulle trimmed with fur and velvet
are already SEEN
Although the new skirts are much
fuller the materials are clinging and
often transparent.
Light-colored taffeta dresses f1ounced
with lace are appropriate for garden
party wear.
The cotton crepes and seersuckers
used for children's dresses permit a
great economy in laundry work.
The vogue of garish and eccentric
colors is about over, to judge by the
furore for black and dark colors.
English eyelet embroidery is revived
for lingerie dresses. Usually they
have colored silk slips below.

state Funds Withdrawn.

Tennessee treasury authorities have
withdrawn every penny of state funds
from the banks of Chattanooga. The
amount that was on deposit was APP
proximately $4,000, but now there is
not one cent.
1t is stated that this policy will be
pursued in connection with all the
banks of East Tennessee. The ex.
PLANTATION given by Treasurer Kicker
son is that the action was taken by
one of his clerks and without his
knowledge.
The call for this money is openly
stated to be for the purpose Of re-
deeming 100000 of the states debt.
The talk in Chattanooga is to the eff
feet that this move is one of politics
surely, and that the governor intends
to take up this large portion of the
states debt during the campaign to
make a showing before the voters;
and further, to do so he will prac-
tically deplete the treasury; that
there will be left hardly sufficient
amount to pay current expenses,
1t is said the state treasurer will
go to Chattanooga for the purpose of
negotiating with the bankers of the
city to take portion of the states
notes, and it is intimated that the
bankers will take but little, if any.
portion, on the ground that their
banks hold none Of the deposits Of the
state.

Attack Nuisance Act.

A petition was filed in ehancery here
against Acknowledgement Thompson,
w. r. Hamilton, Attorneys McGugin
and John Aust and others, seeking to
have the nuisance law declared uncon-
stitutional. 1t is claimed that the stat.
ute violates the search and seizure
amendment to the constitution Of the
United States. The property owners
binging the action represent holdings
valued at 100000.
The Nashville property owners al
lege that the nuisance law provides
of citizens, that it denies them equal
rights in courts of equity, that 1t is so
designed that it can be arbitrarily and
oppressively employed, that it deprives
citizens of property without proper re-
dress at law and is manifestly hostile
in singing out individuals and discrim-
mating against them.
In the opinion of the complainants
the most injurious effect of the nui-
sance law is the restraint placed about
property owners, who are forbidden to
enter their premises during the tenure
Of the temporary injunctions issued by
circuit judges.
The court is prayed to declare the
nuisance law invalid and to issue re-
straining order against the defendants,
forbidding them from employing the
name of the state in filing nuisance Pc
titions and prohibiting the issuance Of
flats against the compliments. The
injunction was granted by Circuit
Judge Meeks.

Many of the new coats are made to
simulate a basque, being snugly but
toned down the front and joined below

All the early autumn gowns are more
or less fashioned along the same lines,
those not cut on the regulation pat
tern having high, tight girdle, which,
buttoning in the front, gives the same
basque effect.
