ONE WOMAN'S EXPERIENCE. have lived in Kansas since early childhood, and have watched a typical Kansas town of 1,000 people multiply itself ten times and more. I played about the foundations of the brewery which invaded our peaceful neighborhood. have more than once been crowded from the sidewalk by a phalanx of topers on their way to the completed and flourishing institution, and have shuddered to hear their ribald songs as they reluctantly sought their homes in the waxing hours. 1 have seen 15 saloons running iu a town of 1.500, and it was not a "tough" town, either. It was settled by a people, who raised the lintels of a church almost as soon as their own hearthstones were laid. Allowing for the mellowing of age, conditions were no worse than in the ordinary town of today in a saloon state. Then, regulation was all that the people could apply to the liquor traffic. Today they use elimination. The brewery which wr.s the bogy of my childhood days, melted away many years ago. and within a stone's tfcrow of that spot stands a magnifi cent high school, with the newest am moat approved equipment and methods. Here hundreds of children go 'n and out, learning the secrets of the ages Except when travel has taken them from the state they have never seen a saloon. There are no disgusting sights and sounds and odors to undermine the morals of the boys who come to this place, as there were three decades ago. Instead, there are wide, airy rooms, where the active boy may develop his constructive faculties, training hand and eye at the same time as he works with lathe or chisel, or recites in the class room. Kansas people prefer the schooi-housof today, rather than the brewery of 30 years ago May Belleville Brown, Salina, Kan. 1 razlls Embassador United States at Will Represent Mexico City, Which French Embassy Will Look After Mexican Interests. 1 O'Shaughnt-essy- , Washington.

The several sons of this man came to this physician to learn their chance of escaping the disease. He told them that if they kept absolutely away from alcohol their chance was good, but if they took alcohol at all he would not answer for them. All but one of these sons have kept away from the drug, alcohol, but one while at college felt strong in his power to He has no take it "moderately." power now.
