THOUGHTS FOR BOYS.
A Sure Way by Which You May Avoid the
Drunkard's Fate.

What do you think, young friends,
of the hundreds of thousands who are
trying to cheat themselves and others
into the belief that alcoholic drinks arc
good for them? Are they not to be
pitied and blamedp Do YOU want to
be one of these wretched men? If we
are to have drunkards in the future,
some of them are to come from the
BOYS to whom | am writing; and ask
YOU again if you want to be one OF
them? No! OF course you don't!
Well, have a plan for you that is
lust as sure to save you from such
fate as the sun is to rise tomorrow
morning. II never failed; itnever will
fail; and think it is worth knowing.
Never touch liquor in any form. That's
the plan, and It's not only worth
knowing, but it is worth putting in
practice.
know YOU don't drink now, and it
seems to you as if you never would.
But your temptation will come, and
it probably will come in this way: You
will find yourself, some time, with a
number of companions, and they will
have bottle of wine on the table.
They will drink and offer it to you
They will regard it as a manly prac-
tice, and very likely they will look
upon you as milksop if you don't in
dulge with them. Then what will you
do? Eh? What will you do? Will
you say: mo, no, none of that stuff
for me? know trick worth half
dozen of that" Or will you take the
glass with your own common sense
protesting, and your conscience max
ing the whole draught bitter, and
feeling that you have damaged your
self, and then 60 off with a hot head
and skulking soul that at once begins
to make apologies for itself, and will
keep doing so during all his liteP Boys,
do not become drunkards. u q. H0t-

SCIENCE AND ALCOHOL.
Facts Which Have Been Scientifically
Established, and what Actual OBJ
servation Has Taught.

Facts Which Have Been Scientifically
Established. and what Actual OBJ
servation Has Taught.
Ten years ago, at the request of the
Edinburgh Society of Arts, DR.. b. w.
Richardson, F. II. S, delivered before
that body six lectures on alcohol, pre-
senting the result of a protracted
scientific investigation of the subject
Among the facts thus scientifically
established were the following:
l. Alcohol, instead of raising, low
ers the temperature of the body.
After drunken stupor it has some
times taken three DAYS to restore the
natural warmth, under the most favor
able circumstances Even moderate
drinkers are peculiarly exposed to
dangerous "colds."
2. Alcohol is not, in any proper
sense. 4 food. The development of
fat from its use is simply due to struct-
ural degeneration of the vital organs.
5. Alcohol accelerates the action
of the heart from one hundred thou
sand beats a day to, say, one hundred
and twenty-five thousand, followed by
a propoltionatc weakening that neces-
states, SucceS>ivelv, additional
draughls. Hence the heart becomes
enlarged and its valves disorderod; and
the brain. by the increased flow of
blood to il, is rendered for the time
more active, and is succeeded by greater
feeblcness, which demands the repeti-
ton of the stimulus.
4. The whole internal cavity of the
body, all its organs, every bone and
joint, the brain and spinal cord, are
wrapped in membranes, through which
as filters, everything has to pass for the
sustenance of the respective parts.
These membranes must be just porous
enough, and be kept perfectly supple.
Now, alcohol causes them to thicken
and shrink, and thus effects general
deterioration of the organic structures.
5. Among the effects of this deteri-
Ora!ion, in those who drink moderate
ly, are various neuralgia pains, the
worst form of indigestion, and wake
tulneSS.
6. AT later stage of drunkenness,
not a single organ of the body escapes
dsorganization of its vital structure,
llouSh hcIculty " OLIlcI COIluItloHo
may cause seeming concentration of
disease on some particular organ-the
liver, the kidneys, the lungs, the heart,
the brain or spinal cord.
z. If this agent do really for the
moment cheer the weary and impart a
flush OF transient pleasure TO the un-
wearied who crave for mirth. its in
fluence-doubtful even in these modest
and moderate degrees-is an inlinitesi-
nal advantage. by the side of an in
linity of evil for which there is no COM
pensation and no human cure.
The above are the teachings of
science. We will add the teachings of
actual observation. Sir Andrew Clark,
one of the most eminent medical au
thorities in Great Britain, says that in
seven out of ten of his hospital patients
the disease was caused by drink, and
in the three others was aggravated by
it. He had sometimes thought of Civ
ing up his practice and going about the
country in q crusade against intoXi-
eating drinks.-Y Youth'S Companion.

MORE STATISTICS.

The Amount Worse Than Wasted ON the
Drink Habit, and What Might BE Bone
with II.
There are 909,9S0 persons, adult
males for the greater part, employed in
the manufacture and sale of liquors in
the United States. This is one to every
sixty of the entire population. These
men, mostly le-bodicd, are taken
from productive. that is to say, wealth
producing employments. They are a
tax on the workers, adding no one ele-
ment of prosperity to the common
wealth of the Nation. AT the low wage
which all of them could earn they
would receive for the three hundred
working days of the year 1922, ,994, 900.
Who can estimate the loss of perman-
ent wealth that this aggregate Of
wages implies and suggests?
The Federal statistics show that there
are in the United States 900. 900 per-
sons daily incapacitatcd for labor by
reason of liquor." This number in
cludes the drunkards, the insane, tho
criminals and paupers dragged down
to these classes by the direct and recog-
nized influence of using intoxicating
drinks. At one dollar day in a year
| of three hundred DAYS these COO, 900
persons placed hOrS dc combat by the
! drinking habit, could have earned
| $3.50. 900, 900, which, added to the other
| totals of money cost, and the loss IF
the service of the army of makers ard
sellers, estimating these services on the
wage basis only, amount to the agg' e.
gate of 81 i'll POI ,5lS per annum.
This vast sum- writes Mrs. Thomp-
