DRINK IS A MORNING
Move to Compel Public Houses to Remain Shut Until 10 a. m.
LONDON, Sept. 3.—Scotland is try-* ing a new way of handling the temperance problem by changing the hours at which public houses may be open in such a way as to compel the taking of food before drink. The changes made in the law apply to the whole of Scotland, but the places subsequently intended to be affected are the cities, and particularly the industrial districts near Glasgow.
The customary hours of work are from 6 a. m. until 5:30 p. m., with a breakfast interval from I^to 9:30 a. SB. or 9:45 a. m. and a dinner hour from 1 to 2 p. m. Formerly the publichouses opened at 8 a. m.f and it was found that among the skilled artisans the "black squad working in the open, its riveters, platers and boilermakers, and also among the dock laborers and casual laborers, it was a regular habit for the men to stop at the public houses on the way home and have a drink before breakfast.
This was believed not oftly to be bald in itself, but to lead to excessive drinking at other times. The c-nsineers and generally those who worked under cover were found to be much less affected by the habit of drinking before meals, and it is at the open dr workmen that the new legislation forbidding the opening of public houses before 10 a. m. is aimed.
The usual before breakfast drink has been a "P- & G.," that is to say, a pint of beer and a glass of whiskey, the whiskey being a "chaser."
It i$ difficult to estimate the amount of before breakfast drinking, but Lord Balfour of Burleigh, on the authority of a correspondent, told the house of lords of swing doors to saloons being fastened open and two hundred glasses of whiskey, with their accompanying Pints of bee" being set out on the counters ready for the workmen as they pass on their way to breakfast.
Another public house was told of where it was said that eighty-four men entered and forty-seven left within nine minutes during the breakfast interval on Monday morning.
In Aberdeen, it was estimated that the new law aimed at before breakfast drinking would cost 125 public houses $220,000 on their revenue. Aberdeen, moreover, has no "black squad." Its morning customers in public houses are fishermen in from the sea, or women working at night at the curing shede.
As it happens that not only public houses, but oftentimes grocers, also, are licensed for the Bale of liquor.*, a section of the law Is aimed at preventing the sale of intoxicants through messengers sent to the grocers.
The law permits grocers licensed to sell liquors to open earlier than 10 o'clock for other trade than that of liquors, and they are also permitted to fill before 10 o'clock orders received for liquors, but a provision is made that the order must have been received and entered in an' order book to be kept in the shop and the delivery must be receipted for in a delivery book to be carried by the servant of the grocer and this book is to be subject to the inspection of the police, and It also seems from the wording of the section that the liquor can not be sent out by messenger on foot, for the section relates to the distribution of liquor from wagon or other vehicle.
The new law does not apply in railway station restaurants, which are t,till allowed to sell liquors "to persons arriving at or departing from the station by railroad." 2*

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is «nly one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an Inflamed condition of the muttous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tuba 1b Inflamed you have a rumbling lound or Imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out »nd this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any ease of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure, gend for circulars, free.

GERMANY WILL AGREE TO U. S. SELLING- MUNITIONS OF WAR
Ambassador Von Bernstorff Says His Country Will Let England Come At Her Own Risk.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, said, while at the state department today, he would make no protest against the purchase by Great Britain of munitions of war from American Arms.
The practice of nations in the observance of neutrality is not to restrict the traffic in contraband, the privilege to prevent such commerce on the high seas resting with belligerents in thoir right of search and capture.
The ambassador said th© principal purpose of his visit to the state department was to introduce a new attache of the embassy.
OBSERVANCE OF SUNDAY.
Evangelist Tlndall Asks Question and Explains It. "Why do protestants keep Sunday?" This was the question that Evaneglist Tindall put to his audience last evening. Mr. Tindall said in part: "True protestants, protest. The bible, and the bible only is their rule of faith. The doctrine of Sunday observance is not found in the bible, therefore I protest against it. Once you know it you will never enter the pearly gate& keeping Sunday. The first day of the week is mentioned eight times In the new testr.ment. When we inquire further, what do they say concerning the first day of the week as the Sajbbath, the answer Is simply that tbey have nothing tu say on the point. Christ said, "Think not, —That I am come to destroy the law, I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill." "The Temperance Question" will be the subject of tonight's service. One hundred slides will be shown.
CHILD OF SEVEN FINDS $1,000.
Long Island Boy Gets $50 Reward for His Honesty. NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Seven-year-old Willie McVay, of Caldwell avenue, Elmhurst, L. I., is honest, and his folk are honest, too, and therefore a load of grief was lifted from Mrs- Louis Barbleri, of Elmhurst, after she had lost twenty $50 bills.
She is in poor health and she had her husband decided recently to take a trip to Italy. She drew $1,000 of the few thousands her husband had salved in a small ice business and pinned the roll inside her dress when she went shopping. When she got back she missed the money.
Willie McVay found the package of $50 bills and took it home. When his mother heard of Mrs. Barbleri's loss she sent Willie straightway to the losers. Mrs. Barbleri insisted on tucking a $50 note into the back pocket of the dumpty knickers.

Engineers Tell of Preparations to Push Warfare. LONDON, Sept. 3.—5 a. m.—Two American oil engineers who have reached London from Roumania via Buda Pest and Berlin, bring some interesting stories of the scenes they witnessed on their trip.

They visited the flying station, and estimated that otver fifty Zeppelins were in readiness to start at any time. There were also a hundred or more aeroplanes there, while there was Immense activity in constructing new craft and training men.
