FIVE BILLION DOLLARS WASTED.

The total amount received from all
sources from the traffic, including
duties on imports, is less than $780,

the cost of public care for the conse-

prisons, and In prosecuting that
share Of crime Justly chargeable to
the saloon-a total immeasurably
greater than any possible income from
license and taxation. Careful and
conservative investigation, made by
expert statisticians, reveal the amaz-

l once asked a young man who has
a large circle of friends In the leading
society of this city, and who Is an abb
stainer, how often he was asked to
take wine, and was "jollied' over the
refusal. He said several times a
week, and told me of some hostesses
who were guilty of rudeness. wish
they could all hear the quiet tones
Of the physician who told me of
man he knew who died insane from
alcoholism. The several sons of this
man came to this physician to learn
their chance of escaping the disease
He told them that If they kept abso-
lutely away from alcohol their chance
was good, but If they took alcohol at
all he would not answer for them. All
but one of these sons have kept away
from the drug, alcohol, but one while
at college felt strong in his power to
take 1t moderately" He has no
power now. That youth might have
been the guest "jollied" by charming
hostess. If these young women knew
the real nature of alcohol they would
at least require doctors certificate
based on knowledge of the habits of
their guest and on those of his ances-
tors before they urged the social

Of about four yards Of ribbon two
inches wide in plain satin, and Is
shown at the right of the picture. This
Is to be worn with one of those lacy
nightdresses in which the deep yokes
are all of lace or net. Many of them
worn over petticoat make attrac-
tive negligees, and the adjustable rib
bon decoration comes in very handy
for embellishing them.
A large blanket-bow of wide, dotted
satin ribbon, made for the baby's car
riage blanket, Is shown at the center
of the picture. 1t requires at least
four yards of ribbon about five inches
wide to make 1t full enough. and five
yards is not too much, for there is a
cluster of four small, knotted loops at
the center and two knotted ends at
the back
Made In the same way, of narrow

selves below and above the normal
waist line Is fostered by the new dan

freedom of the whole figure that the

becomes matter of great Importance.

cover the waist line. Then, II the va
