moro newspapers now, and more men like
Robinson.

INHALATION

''The people OF England annually engulph ii
strong drinks the enormous sum OF fifty million,
sterling. This terrible impos, is mainly volun'
tary tax on Working Men-they pay it cheerful
ly-viiiually to shatter nerves, explode charac-
ter, destroy the body and damn the soul Each
mans quota toward this enormous sum would
this year furnish room after tho style Of ar
English home, next year il would buy be auti-
full library, as well as furnish money TO secure &
splendid education for every child. In the course
of few years 1t would make every working mar
a freeholder, instead Of a tenant 1t would pa,
The interest OF the National Debt twice over and
furnish tax as large as the entire revenue OF the
United Kingdoms"
Since like causes produce like effect. is not
this strong argument for prohibitory law?
