Five years ago a certain man made

among women in New York City. I
have been in a position to watch that
growth closely and I can say with full
knowledge that ten women drink to
day where one drank a dozen years ago.
“The growth of the habit has been
among women of all classes, the rich
and the poor, young and old. Girls in
their teens evidently see no improprie
ty whatever in drinking publicly with
men companions. Very often indeed I
have had young girls brought to me for
treatment, hysterically drunk.
"I have treated within a year wo
men whose weekly bill for champagne
alone was $100 and who filled up the
intervals between their draughts of
wine with highballs and cocktails. One
woman drank a quart of champagne ev
ery morning, and when ready to go out
her custom was to order her maid to
bring her another quart. Then before
leaving the house to enter her carriage
she would empty the bottle to ‘steady
her nerves.’
“School misses and college girls in
great, numbers are among the throng
of women drinkers. A case was pointed
out recently of a luncheon given here
in New York at which twenty-four deb
utantes drank thirty-six bottles of
champagne, and fifteen of them smoked
seven dozen cigarettes.
"Ah everyone knows, the punch bowl
figures largely in the growth of the
drink habit among women of New
York. It is found at all functions, and
many h girl has got her first taste of
liquor by a clip into it. The punch
bowl. however, is not to he blamed en
tirely. Many women clip into it and
may do it. many times without acquir
ing the drink habit, hut many get their
start there. It does give them the
tasto of liquor, and then, with many of
them, the desire for liquor,
"Now, the tendency of the American
women is to go to extremes, and in
drinking she over drinks. It is danger
ous for her to touch liquor at all. This
is particularly true of the New York
woman, because of the added excite
ment of life in New York.
"It isn’t my object to preach unless
the mere statement of facts is a ser
mon, but the fact is New York women
do drink, or rather too large a per tent
age of them drink, and drink to excess.
If one doubts it let him go to any of
our large hotels and restaurants any
night and look about him. On every
hand you find them and their sister vis
itors to New York drinking. No one
thinks anything about it, and the wo
men think they are simply doing the
proper thing. Many of them drink just
because they do things that way, and
many of them drink because they like
the liquor.
"I have treated in the I a st eight
years 700 cases of alcoholism, with a
large percentage of women, and I have
found in many cases where the patient
was a woman that she did not, deep
down in her heart, want to be cured of
the habit. This fact is true especially
in the case of the rich society woman.
She usually comes to me either at the
urgcmt solicitation of relatives or
friends, or with only n surface desire
to be rid of the habit. Very few of
them honestly and truly, and with
their whole heart, want to he cured.
For instance, a certain woman came
to rue for treatment for the drink habit
and seemed sincere indeed, l treated
her bv auto-suggestion, giving her the
suggestion that she could not lift a
wine glass to her lips. She went away,
and the very next night she went with
a man companion to one of our large
think they have been drinking whiskey,
and if they had been drinking real
whiskey the chances are they would
never have been in Bellevue. I don't
say that real whiskey, if taken exces
sively, is not harmful, but I do say that
man could drink the pure article in
moderation all of his life and not be
hurt by it. Why, fifteen drinks of pure
whiskey would not do a man the harm
that one drink of this vile stuff they
sell for whiskey in New York would do
him.
"I know a man who left his office
one evening all tired out, dropped into
a saloon of the best class and took only
two drinks of their bar whiskey, and
was lost for four days. I was called in
to help find him, as he was in a pitia
ble condition, his mind was clouded, he
could not. remember where he had been
or what he had done after leaving that
saloon. He only remembered that he
had taken two drinks of whiskey.
"The beer drinker, if he gets real
beer, is handed a glass of the bever
age which, to meet the demands of
trade, is put out too new and improper
ly fermented. Beer should be kept in
the keg for six months before being
sold to the drinking public.”
Proper Time for Popping the Question.
The Rev. W. A. Bartlett, of the First
Congregational church of Chicago,
preached recently on “Tie Art of
Love.” Among the things he said are:
"Love-making is yet an art that may
lie taught, and there are many rules
to observe in winning a wife.
"Few persons know enough about
the art of making love or the way to
win a wife.
"The Chicago young man,” says
Mr. Bartlett, "is particularly slow.
He is over cautious; that is bad. How
long should a man court before he pop3
the question? Well, lie may be a goose
to reach conclusions too soon. A girl
ought to have the right to say ‘No’
once or twice before she gives up her
liberty. That is a woman’s preroga
tive. and a fellow who hasn’t, the sand
to stick to it until he gets a clear and
sure enough refusal or she yields is not
worth much anyhow. A man with half
an eye ought to he able to tell some
thing of the signs of the times.
"The over cautious man wants to
have everything his own way before he
asks the question. In my mind that is
no kind of a man. It does him good
to he ‘taken down’ a few times.
"Men are naturally conceited and
wonder how a woman can tire of hav
ing them sit from 8 to 11 o’clock, say
ing little. If he is truly in love he
should be willing to take some risks.
The girl is the more helpless party and
cannot propose. It is a high compli
ment paid to a woman to ask her to be
a wife, and a man should be willing to
do it when he believes she is the one
for him.
"The proper age to court and marry
depends entirely on circumstances. I
must say 1 like to see a young fellow
so tremendously in love that he wants
to make a home just as quick as he
can. He does his best work. He be
gins to be settled, and the girl, if the
right sort, would a great sight rather
have him in such a home than to have
six kinds of hats a year.”
Foolish spending is the father of pov
erty. Do not be ashamed of hard work.
Work for the best salary or wages you
can get, out work for half price rather
than be idle. Be your own master and
animal the best I could and hold Mrs.
Bacon at the same time to keep her
from—I knew not what at first, but
glancing around to see if I could dis
cover the cause of her fright, I saw
the tail of a snake disappearing be
neath some bushes at the side of the
road.
" ‘Was it the snake?’ I asked Mrs.
Bacon, as I struggled with the horse. “
" ‘Oh, yes,’ she moaned, shuddering-
ly. ‘If only they wouldn’t slither! I
think if they had feet anti could walk
or even run I could endure them, but to
see them go slithering along so horri
bly is more than I can bear!’ And it
was not until we were a mile or so
down the road that she could regain
her courage. ”

The Praise That Comes From Thank
ful Newnan People.
One kidney remedy never fails.
Newnan people rely upon it.
That remedy is Doan's Kidney Pills.
Newnan testimony proves it always
reliable.
A. G. W. Foster, living near North
Jackson street, Newnan, Ga., says: "1
would not take one hundred dollars for
the good Doan's Kidney Pills afforded
me; in fact, 1 can say that they have
made a new man out of me. Probably
due to advanced age, my kidneys were
badly out of order and caused such in
tense pain through my loins that I
could hardly get about. At night I was
restless and unable to sleep and woul 1
arise in the morning tired and worn
out. My general health was being
gradually undermined and I was at a
loss to know what to do. The kidney
secretions were very scanty and quite
frequent in action. When I procured
Doan’s Kidney Pills at Lee Bros’, drug
store, I hard \y thought that they would
help me, as 1 had used so many reme
dies without any benefit. I soon
changed my opinion of them, however,
as 1 had taken them only a shojjt time
when every symptom of my trouble
was banished. I am now in the best of
health, considering my age, and only
wish I could let every sufferer from
kidney trouble know of the great value
of Doan’s Kidney Pills.”

No old sore exists merely because the flesh is diseased at that partic
ular spot: if this were true simple cleanliness and local applications would
heal them. Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal readily, the blood is at
fault; this vital fluid is filled with impurities and poisons which are being
constantly discharged into the place, feeding it with noxious matter and
irritating and inflaming the nerves and tissues so the sore cannot heal.
These impurities in the blood may be the remains of some constitutional
trouble, the eflect of a debilitating' spell of sickness, leaving disease germs
in the system, or the absorption by the blood of the fermented refuse matter
which the bodily channels of waste have failed to remove. Again the cause
may he hereditary, the diseased blood of ancestry being handed down to
posterity; but whatever the cause, the fact that the sore will not heal shows
the necessity for the very best constitutional treatment. There is nothing
that causes more worry and anxiety than an old sore which resists treatment.
Every symptom suggests pollution
and disease—the discharge, the Fed,
angry looking flesh, the pain and in
flammation, and the discoloration of
surrounding parts, all show that deep
down in the blood there are morbid
and dangerous forces at work, con
stantly creating poisons which may
in the end lead to Cancer. Local
applications are valuable only for
their cleansing and antiseptic effects;
they do not reach the blood, where
the real cause is located, and can
therefore have no real curative worth.
S. S. S. heals old sores by going down
to the fountain-head of the trouble
and driving out the poison-producing
germs and morbid matters which are ,
keeping the ulcer open. It removes every particle of impurity from the cir
culation and makes this life-stream pure, fresh and health-sustaining. Then
as new, rich blood is carried to the place the healing begins, all discharge
ceases, the inflammation leaves, new tissue and healthy flesh are formed,
and soon the sore or ulcer is well. S. S. S. is the greatest of all blood puri
fiers and finest of tonics, just what is needed in the treatment, and in addi
tion to curing the sore will build up and strengthen every part of the system.

I want to recommend S. S. S. to any who are
in need of a blood purifier, and especially as a
remedy for soresand obstinate ulcers. In 1877
I had ray leg badly cut on the sharp edge of a
barrel, and having on a blue woolen stocking
the place was badly poisoned from the dye. A
great sore formed and for years no one knows
what I suffered with the place. I tried, it
seemed to me, everything I had ever heard of,
but I got no relief and I thought I would have
to go through life with an angry, discharging
sore on my leg. At last I began the use of
S. S. S., and it was but a short time until I saw
that the place was improving. I continued it
until it removed all the poison from my blood
and made a complete and permanent cure of
