It is no longer good form to drink hi polite society. At some houses nowadays no wine it all is served. Scotch and soda has taken its place, because the doctors say it is the least injurious of all tipples, but very little of that is consumed The butterflies of fashion have at last learned the lesson that a drunken is as as a drunken tramp and that a society woman who in drink is as disgusting as she were an of Street Police Station. They have learned, too, that there is no fun in the word like the fun of ways being sober. The women, es- have also learned that drink rapidly and inevitably destroys their physical as well as their mental charms. The result is that today drinking is decidedly had form among rich and fashionable persons, in Chicago, at any The occasional man who makes a practice of drinking too much is soon The woman who is only under the influence of liquor is tabooed thereafter. Those philosophers who hereto- fore have never been able to see that what is called is of much use in the world will have to admit it now it is of some use, in the good example it is setting. For it is useless to deny that too often the lone of morality in the mass is given to it by those persons who are con- because of wealth and f. Now that they have made temperance fashionable, they will benefit the community as a whole in a very important respect.

St. Louis, most unique church in Christendom is to be in South St. Louis by Dr. August Schmidt, a German who has come to the that all church denominations are good and all creeds penally correct, and that there should be a church in every city n- people of every may go and worship the one God. In Dr. Schmidt's church, which he will build and equip with his own money, there will be no no choir, no ceremony, col- plate or fixed service. A set of chimes and a pipe organ operated by will furnish constant music of a kind calculated to men and turn their thoughts toward things spiritual. Dr. Schmidt believes that the churches err in confining their efforts too st I j to the worship of God, which he holds is a form worship after all. He holds that main duty of a Christian is to light the devil, mid he maintains that the devil is within and that who spends all of hi- days in will himself absorb- ed into and become a part of the evil alter death. He ha- no fa i III in a literal hell and does nit believe the Bible to be entirely inspired by God, although he accepts it as a of faith. In his opinion himself is responsible for parts of the Bible which he thinks are contradictory to the pints inspired by God. l he devil exercises a tic ii over the souls of men and that many crimes an-l sins are committed when under Ibis is of his Of Those Going and Coming.
