ALCOHOLISM DECREASED.
Regular Employment and Increased Cost
of Liquor Helpful Causes.

NEW YORK, July 2G.-Alcoholism in
New York city has decreased 6S per cent
as result of the practice of wartime
thrift, the opportunities for regular en-
ployment, and the increased cost of
liquor, according to Bellevue hospital Off
cials The hospital records, made public
yesterday at New York, show that with
in the last six months l,079 alcoholic
cases have been treated at Bellevue, as
compared with 1876 cases in the same
months of 1917.
Although the increase in the cost of
liquor may be factor in the improved
conditions. DR.. Stephen r. Jewett of the
| lpsyehopatic ward at Bellevue said that
the war atmosphere and the development
OF habits of thrift proved the greatest
aids to sobriety.
Il am of the opinion he said, ''that
the sale of Liberty bonds and thrift
| stamps, together with the duty of con
tributing to worthy war charity drive:
has been an important factor in lessenins
alcoholic excesses in New York ant
Throughout the country"

SEVERAL ON BERRY
FARM IN PUTNEY
Were Doing Good Work and Regretted
at Last to Leave, but Stood by Their
Compact-Manager Tenney Has Not
Yet Filled Their Places.

Farewell to the Farmerettes is the cho-
rus being sung by Manager E. G. Tenney
of the Scott farm. The 10 young women
farmers employed there have gone-thrown
up their jobs and departed
The employment of young women on the
farm was an experiment, and it was a sue
cessful one. They showed that they could
accomplish a good amount of farm work
and were painstaking and reliable
It was not on account of any dissatis-
faction ON the part of the farm manage
ment that they got through, but nine of
them lett because one was asked to do
so by the woman supervisor-a sympathet-
lc strike, as it were.
The girls We're under the direction OF
a Miss Swanson, who came from Boston
In general, things went along well, but
there was occasional disaffeetion between
some of the girls and their leader, and fl
nally the latter requested one of the young
women to go.
The other young lady farmers got theil
heads together and decided that if theil
unit was to be broken up they would al
iedse, anu tIieg conveyed tlelF decision Il
the matron, but she was adamant The,
appealed to Manager Tenney, who de
clined to mix up in the trouble. The re
suit was that this week the entire uni
left, although it was not without som,
| feeling of regret on the part of most o
them. Six of the girls have gone to Put
| ney to work on the Aiken berry farm
There was and is plenty of work to b.
| done on the farm, work which girls eoul,
| do as web as men, but thus far. Mana
ger Tenney has secured no additional he'll
| to do it.
Early last May 10 young women fron
the state agricultural college at Burlington
who had joined the Woman's Land Arm
of America, arrived at the Scott farm
and began work. They occupied the col

FARMING AT NAULAHKA.
University of Vermont Girls at Work
in Rudyard Kipling's Estate.

The following extracts from a letter
written to Prof. J Fl Norman by some
of the University of Vermont girls doing
farm work at Brattleboro, will be Of in
terest:
Would you like to hear about Naulah-
ka, the summer home of our author Rud-
yard Kipling? 1t is a large estate con-
sisting of Naulahka proper. where the pro-
prletors family lives; Naulahka cottage
where we live, and three large farms. Nau-
lahka is located on the slope of great
wooded hill, and is magnificent place
The scenery about is beautiful. One can
see the farms that are scattered about
the New Hampshire hills A short dis
tance away the blue Connecticut winds
down the broad green valley | have new
er seen more beautiful place in all my
lie. 1t fills one with an inspiration to
be of service to humanity, to think and
to do things that are noble and pure and
true. 1t seems TO keep our highest ideals
ever before us. 1t must have been the in
spiration of these hills and woods that in
auenced Kiplin.
We are here for patriotic purpose,
that of service to our country in this time
of war. We are taking mems places, that
| they may go across and fight for our ma
| tion's ideals. More than this, we have
| taken this independent step to prove to
| the world the real worth of woman. We
must prove that she is equal to man. II
will be a long, hard fight, but having sci
our hands to the plow we'll never lool
back.
| At present we are spading up the tur1
and grass around FIVE thousand apple
trees. This is probably the hardest worl
we viii have to do Then we have charg,
of the grounds, gardens, poultry, etc
There are 400 acres of hay to cut this sum
mer and we will help do it.
We have a lady supervisor who is un
der the farm management. People all owe
the state and in Massachusetts have show
great interest in us and in our work. w
hope that they will not be disappointet
in us. 1t is not improbable that we vii
be severely criticized, but we are prepare,
for that.
