Men OF To-Day DO Not Drink.
What led me to mako up mind never
to touch liquor was the damage which
saw wrought by II. upon some o; the
finest minds with which 1t has ever
been my privilege 10 como into CON.
act, and concluded that what has re-
suited iujuriously to Others might
prove 90 to me. l have seen. even ia
my few years Of professional life, some
OF the most brilliant literary men de.
throned from splendid positions owing
TO nothing else but their indulgence in
wine. have known men with salaries
OF thousands Of dollars per year, occupy
log positions which hundreds would
strive life time to attai0, come TO beg
gary from drink.
Only recently there applied 10 me for

tho most brilliant editorial writer's in
the newspaper profession man who
two years ago easily commanded $l( }
for single editorial In his special fielu.
That man became 90 unreliable from
drink that editors are now afraid of his
articles, and although ne can to-day
write as forcible editorials - at any
time during his life, he sits in . cellar
in one OF our cities writing newspaper
wrappers for one dollar per 1000. And
this 10 ouly one instance OF several
could recite here. l do not hold my
friend up as . terrible example. He 70

me and may convince others that q
clear miud and liquor do not 60 to-

Then, % l looked aronnd and came
to know moro of people and things,
found the always uua0swsrable srgu-
ment in favor OF . young man's absti-
neuce-i. o., that tho most success'ul
men in America to-day are those wuo
never lift wine glass to their lips. Be-
coming interested in this fact, bad 'he
lcuriosity to personally inquire into L.
and OF twenty -eight Of the leading bust.
ness men Of the country, and whose
names selected at random, twenty-five
never touched drop Of liquor OF auy
sort.
i made up my mind that there was {
reason for this. IL liquor brought saf
pleasures, why did these men abstsii
from Il? II, - some say, 1t js . stimu-
liant to . busy man, why did not thes'
men directing the largest business In
tsrests In this country resort to it7 And
when saw that these were the mer
whose opinions In great business matter
were accepted by the leading concerni
of the world l concluded that thei
Judgment In the use Of liquor woulG
satisfy me. Iftheir Judgment In busi
ness matters could command the 70
spect and attention Of the leaders o.
trade on both sides Of the Sea, their de
cisiou a. to the Lse Of liquor was no
. apt to be wrong.
And % opportunities come to mo 4
lgo around st homes and ct public places
. ind that do not occupy . solitary
position. The tendency TO sbstain from
: liquors is growing more and NOR
among the young men OF to-day. Th'
brightest young men ] knsw-youut
