GARMENTS-MICHAEL’S

as stylish- It is a well known fact that if a stjle that
is suited to American women you will find it at

$20.00 and $25.00. Better suits up to SIOO 00.

(. • icago Examiner, I)r. Rot hen
says:
‘Tu the city of Chicago, where the
death rate is approximately 100 a
day, it is safe to say that at least
25 per cent of these deaths are earn
ed directly or indirectly by alcohol.
“Sir William Osier, late of Jk-hns
Hopkins University, professor of i.- <1
icine at Oxford, McGill and P' .n. v l
vania universities and one of the
world’s greatest physicians, says of
alcohol that it produces acute in Ta

Alcohol in Pneumonia.
“Alcohol pneumonia is 1 uov n t
every practitioner. In the p. t t
years in Chicago the death rate from
pneumonia was just twice w at it
was the preceding twenty-years. Al
cohol is without doubt to blame for
a part of these deaths, for iu alco
holic pneumonia the death rate is
tremendous.
“Some years ago, there were a
number of physiologists who claimed
that whiskey was a food. These have
grown fewer and fewer with the
years, and the idea is now so uncom
mon that the statement may safely
be denied. Arsenic, one of the dead
liest of poisons, is used in certain
cases for medicinal purposes. Taken
in larger quantities arsenic woulc
cause death. The same thing might
be said of whiskey.
“When the Federal authorities
acted to stop the sale of narcotics
a year or so ago, there was immedi
ately a great* hue and cry. It was
foot there would be an overwhelm
ing demand for hospitals to care lor
t addicts. What would the liospit
. ' do for room to care for these
pioplc?
“Yet the law went into effect and
no extra hospitals were needed.
“The result of this legislation was
i at hundreds of small users of the
dr ig were cured of the terrible habit
because they found it impossible to
obtain the drug. The records of
the Health Department show no in
cr. ase in the death rate on account
of it. In fact, the death rate last
. ear was the lowest in a number of
years, notwithstanding the Eastland
disaster.
Whiskey Factor Hidden.
“No one cau estimate the large
i.umbt'l' of people whose death cer
tificates are marked by a diagnosis
which seems to have no connection
with alcohol. Still, if the truth were
known whiskey was the predispos
h - tuetor in the dea.tji ef them.
"When 1 said that 25 per cent of

. . Twenty per cent of the mortal
ity among infants is caused by their

! poverty—and I believe this phrase
... ds no explanation—is one of the
greatest indirect causes.

proper garments than other causes. We will do much

What the Corsetiere Said:
An expert corsetiere in a metropolitan city w/’*
heard only recently to say, If half the women ..outd \
the ugly lines their corsets give them, more
would be more particular about "securing correct cor
sets.” it might be added, if more women knew the
beautiful lines American Lady Corsets give, there would
be even more women wearing this superior make of
corset.

Insomnia.
Indigestion nearly always disturbs
the sleep more or less, and is often
the cause of insomnia. Eat a light
supper with little if any meat, and
no milk; also take one of Chamber
lain's Tablets immediately after sup
per, and see if you do not rest much
better. Obtainable everywhere, advt.

God’s richest blessings rest upon
eadi and every one of you. —Mr. and
Mrs. Edmond Wall.
Spring.
Spring is looked upon by many as
the most delightful season of the
year, but this cannot be said of the
rheumatic. The cold and damp
weather brings on rheumatic pains
which are anything but pleasant.
They can be relieved, however, by
applying Chamberlain’s Liniment. Ob
tainable everywhere. Advt.
