LILLIAN RUSSELL
IS II FOE TO DRINK
‘‘Alcohol Is Death to Woman’s
Good Looks,” Says the
Noted Beauty.
NEW YORK, May 12.—At last 1,11-
lian Rusaell has answered the ques
tion of how she retains her youth
and beauty. Miss Russell says: “Al- !
i ohol is death to the beauty of mind,
body and soul.”
Miss Russell’s lines in her mono- \
logue in regard to drink are such a 1
hit that she says if she could she
would likf to go out and do nothing
but preach temperance while she is
on the stage
“I never have drunk anything
stronger than a little Madeira, the
lightest of wines, and 1 have given
that up.” she says. "People regard
it as remarkable that I have kept
my good looks and my youth. You
can’t keep your health unless you j
live in harmony with nature.
"Most women need exercise, nour
ishing food and a proper amount of
sleep. People who stay up until all
hours do not get the proper amount
of sleep, nor do they get It at the
right time. 1 have always loathed
champagne and other strong drinks
and fought against the cultivation of I
a taste for liquor.
"Girls who refuse to touch liquor
get along. Those who begin with
light drinks finally cultivate appe
tites for whiskey and wine, and are
pitiable things to behold.”

"The American college of to-day is
between the upper and nether mill
stones. The German-American uni
versity has now become the home
of scholarship and research. If the
American college is to repeat in the
twentieth century the inestimable
service it rendered to American civ
ilization in the nineteenth century
it must recognize the dawn of a
now era. Let the typical graduate
be trained not only in scholarships
and culture, but how to loaf wisely.”
—Henry Dou's Smith, president of
Washington and Lee University.
"In my judgment everything which
occurs in court should be open to
public hearing. The fact that an
action for divorce is pending should
be given the widest publicity to pre

are innocent. I do not think how

more humiliating generally to the
innocent than guilty—should oe
published.”—Justice Guy of the
New York State Supreme Court.
"I feel as if 1 am making a twentieth

easier to build up a new country
than to change an old one."—C. de
Bruyne, an Alderman of Ghent, Bel
gium, who is visiting New York.
