WHEN NOT TO DRINK.
Some Wise Points for Business Men who
Triple at Wrong Hours

Moderate drinkers engaged III pursuits call
ing for judgment and acumen, and who use
liquors during business hours, end, with
scarcely an exception, as financial wrecks,
however successful they may be in withstand
ing the physical consequence Of their indul-
gence. Thousands who retain their health
and are never ranked as victims OF intemper-
ance lose their property, wreck their business
and are thrown into bankruptcy because Of
tipping habits during business hours. These
men are not drunkards, and only close OBJ
servers can detect the influence Of strong
drink in their department; but nevertheless
LIQUOR gives them false nerve, makes them
reckless, clouds the judgment and soon in
wolves them in bad purchases, worse sales
and riinOus contracts. Sooner or later it is
shown that the habit Of tipping during bust
ness hours Is a forerunner Of bankruptcy.
Let every such drinker review his business
transactions for n series of years, and answer
whether this statement is not true.
Liquor acts on the brain in the same man
ner as chloroform or ether, producing a
stimulation which effects cool thought, fol-
lowed by depression corresponding TO the
amount Of the dose What man would ex-
pect 20 succeed in business il no were accus-
toned to take, while at work, even very
Slight whifTs Of ether, cloroform or laughing
gas and keep himself all the time, more or
less, under such beclouding inhuencesl Such
a man, even if able to preserve his health,
would grow reckless, loquacious, and soon
prove no match for q clear-headed rival.
Liquor is an indispensable ally wherever vic
TINS are systematically ieeced and its effects
are seen also in the riyalries Of legitimate
business.
The professional gambler keeps free bar,
but never drinks himself when at the table;
and, while n sober, clear-headcd, honorable
merchant, dealer or operator would not en-
deavor TO ply his rival with liquor, he would
gain great advantages from the latter, self
sought indulgence Liquor shows its victims
not only in saloons and gambling dens but
about boards Of trade and stock exchanges
and in every line of business requiring d
clear, cool head Moderate drinkers who at
tempt TO DO business with even slightly ex
cited brains are the men who are all the time
making losses and going to the wall
