The Daily Texarkanian., 1899-11-24

We believe that Bishop Nelson, OF
Georgia, is right when he said that
there is "more intemperaDce in eat
ing in Georgia than there is in
whisky drinking" We believe there
are more fatal results from over
eating than from over-drinking if
we could only get at the facts, or,
better, if we would only admit
them. We all notice the men who
destroy themselves by strong drink,
but we make no note of the count
less thousands, the millions, who go
to the grave the victims of over
eating. The victims of the drinking
habit are mainly men, but men,
women and children, the young and
the old, rich and poor-aIl classes
and conditions-are the victims OF
excessive eating. Yet we raise nc
hue or cry against it, and it is con
sidered eminently respectable to die
the death of the glutton, n,-Arkan-
sas Democrat.
