Poverty and Drink.
The .general Secretary of the Neigh-
borhood Workers' Association, Toron-
to, a Family Welfare Organization,
gives the following '-gures in his an-
nual reports:—In 1919, nine eases of
need were due to intemperance,
arnotlnting to 1.17% of all cases. In
1920 the,percentage was 1.27%, where-
as in '1921 -and 1922 the percentage was
.08 .pf all cases in need. Previous to
prohibition,
in 1 " t
5 0 18cent. per .,tit, of.
families, the cause of poverty could
be traced to intemperance. In the re-
port this statement is made, "Before
prohibition; came into -effect, not only
Was intemperance a problem in itself,
but a facto. in most of the other. prob-
lents. To -dray intemperance is prac-
tically .a negligible quantity, as a
•amuse of poverty."
The last annual report of the Board
of License Commissioners for Ontario
states: "Intoxicated men are rarely
seen upon the streets of our cities,

Only one arrest was made for drunk-
enness

hibition, Toronto, in 1922, in an at
tendane

Previous to the Referendum, a morn-

In a City of Scent.
t.
Of all the world's industries, scent.
making is one .of the most pleasant
It is also one of the most fascinatimg.
The greatest centre in the world for
making perfumes is Grasse, on the
beautiful Cote d'Azur, in France. It
is from here that the great perfumery
firms of London and Paris.obtain their
supplies and the demand for, Grasse
Products is continuously increasing.
Enormous quantities of flowers have.
to be grown in order to keep this flour-
ishing industry going, and Grasse is
surrounded by field after field of won-
derful blooms of all kinds..
Every morning large lorries filled
with picked blossoms rumble through
the streets to the factories, where they
unload and return to the fields for
more, -
Inside the factory there is a scene of
in
-
glowing color and an almost over
powering perfume of many flowers.
Girls" and women are seated before
long tables, stri'ounded by great heaps
of *blooms. The first proceeding is to
take out any stalks or leaves that have
been overlooked by the expert pickers
who collected the flowers in the fields.
The stamen is also removed from
each flower as it is useless for scent.
The petals and the pistil are the real
providers of scent and are retained.
The blooms are distilled in giant cop-
pers. with just sufficient water to cover
them. When • orange blossom is dis-,
tilled an essence known as "neroli" is
obtained and this is used as a base for
leaking the world-famous. Eau -de -Col-
ogne.
The, distillation of roses yields "rose
essence" and `"rose water." In order
to get one kilogramme of actual rosto-;
perfume, 10,000 the. of flowers are re-''
quireil, and this explains why this kind
of scent is so expensive.
These fascinating factories not
only make scents ` and; perfumes, but
also pomades for toilet purposes. The
flowers are clipped in some fatty sub-
stance, usually grease or olive oil. This
absorbs .the smell of the particular
flower dipped and Iater is put into the
bottles and boxes .in which it is to be
sold.
The most difficult of all blooms from
which to extract perfume is the honey
suckle.
Some idea of the importance of the
scent industry here cart be obtained?
from the fact that more than 5,000,000
lbs. of bowers' are gathered annually.
The greater part of this great total •is
composed : of roses., orange blossoms,
and jasmine.

Mother Tells How HerDaughter
e
Suffered and Was Made Well by
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound
Vancouver, B.C.— My daughter is a
young girl who has been having severe
pains and weak and dizzy feelings for
some time and had .lost her appetite.
Through an older daughter who had
heard of a woman who was taking it
for the same trouble, we were told of
Lydia E. Pinkham's 'Vegetable Com-
pound. My daughter has been taking it
for several months and is quite all right
now. It has done all it was represented
to do and 'we have told a number of
friends about it. I am never without
a bottle of it in the house, for I myself
taste it for that weak, tired, worn-out
feeling which sometimes comes to us all.
I find it is building me up and I strongly
recommend it to 'women who are suffer-
ing as 7 and my daughter have,"—Mrs.
J. MoDoiseeLn, 2947 26th Ave, East,
• 'Vancouver, B. G.
From the age of twelve a girl needs all
the care a thoughtful mother can. give.
Many a woman has suffered years of
pain and misery—the victim of thought-
lessness or ignorance of the motherwho
should have guided her during this time.
If she complains of headaches, pains
in the back and lower limbs, or if you
notice a slowness of thought, nervous-
ness or irritability on the part of your
daughter, make life easier for her.
