Better Stop Drinking.
S. NJ. |. HEN RY.


Why? For your own good. What
does that mean? If a fellow wants
drink, he ayants it.
Yes, but just look at yourself a
minute. See how the color of your
face is changing; how red and wa
terry your eyes are getting, how your
hand trembles, and how unsteady
your limbs are. Look at your
clothes, seedy threadbare, ragged.
Look at your associates; look into
your pocket book; look at your rep
utation among men; look at your
condition before God, and see if you
had not better stop drinking for your
own good
Why? for the sake Of your home.
Go into it and look about you. See
the sad face Of your wife; the spoiled
faces of your children; look at their
clothes; at the table spread for them
with such scanty fare; at the beds
they lie on, and the lives they must
live; the kind of men and women
they must be if they follow you, and
then think that you and the drink
are responsible for it all; you are re-
sponsible if your wife should commit
suicide, if your boys should become
criminals, and your girls fall into
lives of shame; and under these cir
cumstances do you not think you had
better stop drinking
Why should you not stop? What
, has strong drink ever done for you

The.c is i widespread idea that con5anglin ooCs
unions produce either defective offspring oz none

hand to cite IN support OF the prophecy.
Does this opinion rest Upon positive and we'll
authenticated facts or IS il erone0usY This is 4
question that was examined q few years ago By
Alr. G. B. Darwin, who, after profound study Of
the inject, came to The conclusion that, in the

been further examined by Mr 4. Il. Huth, who
has Just published an exhaustive work upou it,
in wbc ho arrives a. th1 saIc cDEclsi0lS that
Mr. Darwin did.
Mr.. Huth thinks that consanglintty OF its9'f
plays no particular role IN the union or individ-
usls OF the sane stock. In the descendants it in
creases the tendencies common TO the two progen-
tors. BY reason of their relationship, the closer
this is and the closer the relationship Of the
ccstors, the greater is the tendency OF the dcsceG-
janls 10 exhibit the same dispositions. II these

them If on the conterv, they are bad such un-
ions should be avoided in order t. pTerent re.
enforcement Of uuiavo abe tendencies which
should be suppc; ss,d. But the case is idciNcll
where il is quosuou oi unrcated persons. No
reasonable person would urge two ncurO0sthic IN
diyduals oI d lsIe1. family TO unite because he
knows that the neurcss has every chance 20 be-
come intense in the descendants. ON the con-
trary, union hatween 4uguineous individ
uals equally healthy and well favored, ought TO
be encouraged.
What may be urged against marriages Of near
kin is the facility with which unfavOrable ten
denotes are transmitted. aud the relative rsrity
OF the circumstances in which such marriages can

plalned, consaugunity OF itself presents no incon-
venicnce, especially if we coosiicr how remote,
by reason of the existing avs upon msr:iagc, is
the degree OF c1nsan yuiuity between individuals
capable of uniting legitiul4tcly.
Upon the who. g, conssnGuiBity aCclmuiates and
imtensiiies tendencies. If these are bad, the
riage of nosr kin should be avoided if good, it
may be favored. Bat as. unfortunately, the un'
favorable ten iencies easily and frequent

established with the most facility, there is ofteu
or more reason for avoiding than seeking such
unions Cpon the whole. Air. Huth concludes
that the accusations directed against marriages of
near kin are not justified in the present state of
science.
