Consul Frank W. Mahin, of Nottingham, in writing on the decrease of drinking and drunkenness in England, says: The truth of such a statement would probably be doubted by the casual observer of the number of intoxicated people on the streets and of men and women entering public houses. But the evidence is derived from a comparative study Of social conditions and from the customs returns and the reports of beer brewing companies. No doubt, another trustworthy guide is the tendency of public sentiment, which is unquestionably in the direction of sobriety. Temperance societies in this country are growing in numbers and Influence.

Outside of these," the abuse of intoxicants in its relation, to mental and physical health is roceiving much attention. A special committee last year made an exhsiustlve Investigation of the. subject and reported to parliament. The substance ot this report was, at the request of temperance societies, published by the authorities of several London and provincial boroughs through placards posted on billboards and distributed in factories and workshops. The Nottingham placard, signed by the chairman of city council's health committee, the city's medical officer and the towif clerk, reads as follows: "The report oZ the committee presented to parliament by command of his majesty states that: "The abuse of alcoholic stimulants is a most potent and deadly agent of physical deterioration.

We hold no brief for the cigarette, nor do we fail to recognize the fact thad smoking by juveniles ia an evil, but the case for remedying the evil is not helped by doubtful' statements. Everybody knows that tobacco is a poison, and the suggestion, therefore, that tobacco is injurious because of its impurity or adulteration or be-: cause poisons are added to it are altogether beside the-issue. If the tobacco smoked were the purest possible leaf the evil of smoking by juveniles, in my ppinion, would not be a whit the If it were otherwise, there would be no necessity for suppressing such smoking so long as the youth was supplied with pure' tobacco. Since tobacco is itself a poison, we need no further argument against indulgence in it by the immature or Its abuse by the grown-up person. We can well believe that certain tobaccos are more poisonous than others, but we much doubt whether substances more injurious than tobacco itself are added to the manufactured leaf.

Flavorings and sweetening substances, such as liquorice, glucose and glycerin, are often added, but these are harmless compared with pure tobacco itself. Statements have been freely made that morphine, or even cocaine is added to cheap cigarettes in order; to give them immediate soothing qualities or "to soften" the flavor of an otherwise harsh-smoking tobacco. We cannot accept such statements, applied, at all events, to cigarettes retailed at five, or even six a penny. The tobacco in such cigarettes is of an inferior and inexpensive kind, we but we have not been able to find the smallest trace of foreign poisons in some very cheap cigarettes which we purchased only recently and submitted to careful analysis. We doubt whether it would pay to add' such comparatively expensive poisons.

A Lesson In Etiquette. One cigarette fiend has received an admonition as to the atiquette of the nauseous little things that will probably last him his short and not very useful life.
