BLONDES VINDICATED.
UNABLE TO DRINK AS MUCH AS BRUNETTES.
Blondes may once more hold up their heads. Their character for sobriety lias been vindicated; but they must not try to drink as much as brunettes, for they have not the capaeity.
Such is the judgment of American Army surgeons, who held a conference. in San Francisco last month. One of the speakers raised the point that blondes were more addicted to over-indulgence in alcohol than brunettes, and proceeded to quote statistics showing that blondes figured very largely in the list- of convictions for drunkenness.
Other speakers, however, quoted the results of tyo' years careful study in America and the Philippines, and the conference finally came to the conclusion that, normally, blondes were as sober as brunettes, but that they had not the same capacity for alcohol and were more likely to get intoxicated on a smaller consumption.
