WILL CLOSE IIP
MANY DRINK
CURE PUCES
CHICAGO, May 12 (by Associated
Press).—Plans are being made by
owners of more than two hundred
drink cure institutions to discontinue
business with the coming of national
prohibition, according to officials of
institutions here. A few of the places
may continue indefinitely as drug
cure sanitariums, but a large major
ity are expected to close within a
year.
James E. Bruce, an official of a
drink cure corporation that advertises
that it has cured more than 500,000
victims of alcohol, said the prohibi
tion wave had for some time caused
decreased business.
“We figure there will be no need
for our institutions after the country
goes dry,” he said. “However, we ex
pect business to increase for a few
months right after prohibition be
comes effective. But after that it
will rapidly decrease.
“A few years ago we had sixty
branches in operation throughout the
country. Today we have twenty-six.
Drug cases constitute about 25 per
cent of our business, the number be
ing about the same as before the Har
rison anti-drug law went into effect,
five years ago. But we do not think
it would pay to continue treating drug
cases alone.
“Adoption of “bone dry” prohibition
by a number of states has decreased
business in many sections. Business
also fell off during the war, but last
fall it picked up, again at about the
time of the influenza epidemic, and
has been fairly good ever since.”
An official of one of the oldest
chains of drink cures in the country
expressed the view that their institu
tions would remain open for at least
a year after the coming of national
prohibition. He admitted that beyond
that the future was uncertain. Two
years ago this concern operated fifty
branches. Today the number has been
reduced to fewer than twenty. He
said a few of the branches might be
continued permanently for drug users,
who, since the passing of the Harri
son anti-drug law, “are confined
largely to the wealthy class and resi
dents of the underworld.”

The inventors of sport clothes
should favor us by furnishing a new
name for those sport clothes de luxe
which have increased in importance
and in volume of production for the
past three seasons. They might be
called “veranda” clothes, but that title
is not broad enough to cover their use
fulness. They are very smnrt and
they are Informal; since they suggest
sports they cannot be anything else.
But new fubrics used for them may be
truthfully called gorgeous.
In the picture a costume of Jersey
silk deserves to be called “stunning.”
It has a skirt of white Jersey and a
blouse in turquoise blue. Many cov
ered buttons and pipings, in white,
contribute to the distinction of a dress
that has wonderful designing as well
as wonderful material, to place it on
the plane of the highest art in apparel
ing. The new weave of silk and fiber
silk that belong to the tricolette family
makes ideal mediums for this charac
ter of dress.
The blouse In the dress pictured Is
piped with white, and buttons up along
the under arm seam. It is cut with
the effect of straps over the shoulders,
the white piping serving to outline the
straps and belt which are In turquoise
blue. Buttons are set on at the front
and the long, plain, tight-fltting sleeves
are buttoned along the forearm.
The hat and shoes for wear with
this character are items that must be
considered In connection with It. For
in all lines sport clothes require spe
cial designing.
Homemade Tinting Solution.
Red crepe paper has long been
used to give pink and flesh tints to
georgette and silk blouses and un
derwear, but everyone does not re
alize that any color paper may be
successfully used in the same way.
Squeeze a piece of ordinary crepe
paper In clear water until you have
the color you desire; Then remove
the paper, rinse the garment to be
dyed in clear cold water and put it
In the tinting solution. Allow It to
remain until sufficiently and evenly
colored.
NOTICE
Subscribers discontinuing the paper
will be charged for the current month
unless this office is notified. Do not
notify nor pay the carrier.
