IS A FOE TO DRINK
“Alcohol Is Death to Woman’s
Good Looks,” Says the
Noted Beauty.
Important
Sayings
By important people on
topics of liv§ interest
NEW YORK, May 12.—At last Lil-
lian Russell has answered the ques- |
tlon of how she retains her youth
and beauty. Miss Russell says: “Al
cohol 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
hit that she says If she could she
would like 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 I 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
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. I have always loathed
champagne and other -strong drinks
and fought against the cultivation of
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 cancer death rate in the United
States is increasing at the rate of
2V6 per cent a year, and a corre
sponding Increase Is occurring
practically throughout the world.
The average age at death in cancer
of all forms is 59 years—60.4 years
for men and 58.2 for women. Of the
total mortality from cancer 90 per
cent of the victims are forty years
old or more.'' - Frederick J. Hoff
man, statistician of one of Ameri
ca’s biggest insurance companies.
‘The American college of to-day is
between the upper nnd 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
new era. Let the typical graduate
be trained not only in scholarships
and culture, but how to loaf wisely.”
— Henry Douis Smith, president of
Washington and Lee University.

Incident upon the convention. Mrs.
Roy is attending a house party given
by Mrs. A. D. Williams at her country
estate on the James River and will
not return for a week.
‘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
vent fraud and injury to those who
are Innocent. 1 do not think, how
ever, that the loathsome details—
more humiliating generally to the
innocent thpn guilty—should 09
published.”—Justice Guy of the
New York State Supreme Court.
'I feel as if I am making a twentieth
century flight into another world.
Comparisons are impossible; it will
take me some time to get my
breath. What a lot Europe might
learn from wondrous America! But
then one must consider; it is much
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.
