Drunkenness Among Women in Chicago
THERE is in Chicago an organization known as the Woman’s Keeley Rescue League. At their meeting a short time ago the special subject for discussion was “Drunkenness among Women in Chicago.” It was therein developed that “thousands of Chicago women, including many of high social standing, have been and are resorting to the Keeley cure and other means” to free themselves from the habit of strong drink. It was also stated that proprietors of drug stores mix with the soda-fountain drinks sufficient intoxicants to create a taste for strong drink. It has long been known that manufacturers of candy do the same thing with candies. Before all, there is nothing as good as clear, pure water, or genuine fruit juices and fruits in their season.
