Seventy Women Seen to Enter One Public House In
 IS Minutes.

 premise or in clubs except between the hours of noon and 2:30 ana o:So in the evening" and on Sundays be-

 From an American point of view the drinking habits of all classes are strikingly general herei indeed one of the leaders of the British Cabinet told an Associated Press representa- tive this week that the consumption of alcoholic beverages here Is more than double what it Is in the United States and that the efforts to reduce the drinking by shortening the hours of sale in intuition centers have as vet resulted in reduction of less than I5 per cent in the amount consumed in these areas. But there has been a dimunition m the number both of arrests and prosecutions for drunken ness, tine-keeping sheets in the fac tories reveal a slight improvement, crews of ships are more sober and the transportaticn of supplies is att tended with less delay.
 Seventy women Enter One Public
 House in Is Min ltes'' is the title of an article that has attracted wide at- tention as calling notice to the gen. eral drinking among lower class wo- men in London. It was written by Rev. F. H. Gillingham, .'the cricketer- parson," who says het counted that number of women go into a saloon in quarter of an hour in one of. the poorer sections of London, He adds:
 '''I don't suppose it continues all day at this rate, but from many inquir- ies I learn that during the morning and afternoon large numbers of wo- men pass their time in these places, and one man who is an alderman in well known district told me he had never seen so much drinking in 90 years as since the war began
 /, The reason given for this increase in the amount of money that the war has brought to women whose hus- bands are drawing separate allow ances and to whom opportunities for labor have never been so plentiful. And anybody who looks below the surface of political manifestations can see that this increase of money among, the poor has not been an altogether unmixed blessing and that the attempt to preach economy and waste is meet ing with little effective results in many communities where the spend ing money is more abundant than 1t has ever been before.

.OSBORNE'S WORK THEME OF POEM BY A. P. |. FIELD
Banked Fires' Is Powerful Interpretation In Verse
 of His Methods.

The whole country is following the fight against, Thomas Mott Osborne and the things he stands for at Sing Sing These verses. hitherto unpub- Iished, have been hailed as one of the most powerful interpretations yet made of the man and his method of dealing with other men,
 The verses themselves have an in teresting history. Osborne. million aire, former mayor of Auburn. and a member of the board of Auburn prison, startled the country a couple of years ago by donning prison garb, going through the mill at Auburn prison to see what it was like, and starting a revolution in methods of handling the prisoners there. One of the prisoners the guards feared most, keeping him shut up in a cell. was Canada BIackie, burglar and peter man. Osborne talked with him. trusted him, treated him as a man. and the story of his changed life is one of the most remarkable personal transformations in all prison history. It is told in the book bearing Canada Blackie's name, written by Mrs. Field, the author of these verses.
 Mrs. Field was a guest of MT. Os- borne at Auburn when Canada BIaclzie saw her and was overcome by her resemblance to his mother. When NIT. OSporne was made warden or Sing Sing, Canada Blackie was trans ferred there. and when he died last March 4S of his fellow prisoners sent Mrs. Field a pendant in the form of a gold heart" the nickname Canada Blackfe had had for his mother. in appreciation of the care and nursing Mrs. Field had given him unstintedly in the last year of his life. One man put into it his savings for three years and the only instructions to the jew eIler were to make it with as little as little alloy as possible"
 Mrs. Field was inspired to write the poem Banked Fires by the recent bitter attacks on the Warden of Sing Sing

Wapato Lake a Gem?
Or Mudhole? Which?

Although admitting that he in
tended to lower the waters OF
both Big and Little Wapato lakes
four feet, Commissioner Woods
denies he has any intention of
draining them dry.
Woods said that his workmen
were merely repairing an old
drainage ditch dug 22 years ago,
which, he says, has filled up with
debris during recent years, until
1t fails to keep an even level OF
the lake water"
LAS a result, he says. both Wa
patio lakes are four feet higher
than they should be, and with
out drainage, the winter rains
would cause the lakes to over
flow.
But draining might be a good
thing, at that. The two lakes are

WOMAN'S HAIR
REACHES TO KNEES


Mrs. Esther Emery, now visit
ing friends in the city, is the for
tunate possessor of marvelously
beautiful hair, which when loos-
ened from its coils, falls to her
knees. Moreover 1t is of soft,
silky and fluffy texture and in
color a glorious glossy gold. Yet
just one year ago she was threat
ened with badness. Urged to tell
how she had obtained this won
derful growth in 80 short a time,
she said: Had anyone told me
such marvellous results could be
accomplished so quickly. I posi-
lively would not have believed It.
Twelve months ago my hair, which
then reached barely to my shout
ders, was falling out at an alarm
ing rate and growing very thin,
actually exposing the bald spot in
several spots. It was dull and
lifeless in color, turning grey in
patches. and very dry and brittle.
My head was covered with dand-
ruff and itched like mad all the
time. tried fully q dozen diff
ferent hair tonics, but they we're
all the same and never did me a
bit of good. One day CHANGED
to read in my home paper OF a
simple home prescription to make
the hair grow that was recon-
mended by we'll known physic-
ian. 1t said that by taking or
binary Lavona De Compose and
mixing with Bay Rum and Men
thol Crystals and applying to the
scalp each night with the finger
tips that new hair would grow
very rapidly. l decided to try Il
and had my druggist mix OF.
OF the Lavona de Composee with
6 OF. of Bay Rum and n drachm
of Menthol Crystals. and started
to use 1t. My, how quickly my
hair did grow. First the hair
stopped falling, the itching ceas-
ed and the dandruff disappeared.
Then tiny little hairs appeared
all over my scalp. These
grew and grew as though
nothing would ever stop them.
They are growing yet, and while,
of course, have used the treat
ment steadily and expect to con-
tinue 1t, at least until my hair
reaches the floor, l might have
stopped and been perfectly salts,
fled at the end Of three months.
l think that any woman can get
long, thick, beautiful hair by
using this prescription as I,have
recommended 1t to several friends
and all are delighted with the re-
suit. The prescription is very in
expensive and any druggist can
fill 1t.
