"Have you attained such prom inence in the legal profession in the last five years that you are justified in doubling your tees?” “Not at all,” said the lawyer. “There is twice as much work on this will as on your old one.

I will wager that there have day he said : ; been inmates of Bellevue’s alcoholic “It is with real alarm that I note ward who have never tasted a drop of the rapid growth of the drink habit i real whiskey in their lives. They just 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. ” Resolutions of Respect. B. J. MCDOWELL. Whereas, It has pleased the Great Spirit, in His all-wise providence, to remove by deatn our brother, B. J. McDowell, who was transplanted on May 2, 1909, to the happy hunting- grounds of the Great Beyond, from whose bourne no traveler returns. Resolved, That in the death of Bro. McDowell Modoc Tribe, No. 70, loses one of its most devoted members, and his family a kind and loving husband and father. We would say to his wife and children, sisters and aged mother, look just beyond the narrow stream that riidvides that heavenly land from ours and note the beckoning hand that’s calling you on.

The man with a family usually gives away ev erything he possesses in three or four clauses, but the bachelor divides his property among so many relatives, friends and dependents, and consumes so much time in doing it that the law yer is justified in charging him double the usual fee. ” Judge Giles Baker, who presided over a Pennsylvania county court, was like wise cashier of his home bank. A man presented a check one day for payment. He was u stranger. His evidence of identification was not satisfactory to the cashier. "Why, Judge,” said the man, ‘‘I’ve known you to sentence men to be hanged on no better evidence than this!” "V eiy likely,” replied the Judge "but when it comes to letting go of cold cash we have to be mighty care ful.” THE BEST restaurants, made no objection whatev- do not let society cr when wine was ordered, and even you individually tried her best to overcome the sugges tion I had given her and drink the wine.

Do not eat up or wear out all you can earn. Compel your selfish body to spare something for profits saved. Be stingy to your appetites, but merciful to others’ necessities.

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.” For sale by all dealers.

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.

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.
