FED FROM RlLLS OF DRINK.
The Growth Of Crime Due to an Inheritance
of .tlcoholized Blood.

Among the startling facts concerning
crime is its growth among women The
proportion of criminals among women
used 10 be exceedingly small. but there
has been rapid increase within the
last decade. This is due TO the inherit
anee Of aleeholized blood Even where
parents are not drunkard>, but moderate
drinkers, the cumulative effect is likely
to manifest itself III some abnOrmalltv
of children.
Steadily and persistently the work is
going on. A criminal family will die
out III from three to five generations,
but the ranks Of crime are renewed con-
stantly from alcoholic sources. The cur
rent Of deprayity is fed from new rills
If drink, which flow increasingly. So
the dangers from the alcohol vice rise
up and confront US on every side 1t is
astounding that men who claim to be
Intelligent, and who have certain knowl-
edge Of the facts, are so uncertain in
their conceptions of duty concerning
this evil
There Is ~ question which can weight
the scale with the liquor question
whether examined from the religious
social or scientific standpoint. N
