The drinking man, as a matter or
fact. must find his salvation within
himself within his own strength OF
character.
Each of us does whatever he wants
to do most
The moment a man really wants not
to drink, the moment he wills not to
he stops. But he must help the viii!
intellgently.
The drinking man says that life is
dull. He himself is all that he knows
of life. his own existence is all that
he possesses.
He would not think his life dull IL
he were in danger of losing IL every
minute from the attack of some saw
age Indian or wild beast.
How can it be dull when he has
constantly before him the danger OF
destruction through an enemy inside
of himself? He ought to find interest
ing occupation in devising plans to
get the better of whisky. He ought
to find the excitement that he lacks
in making a successful fight against
the power that has destroyed millions.
To young men we say, keep away
from whisky. It's friendships are
false. its artificial warmth ends in
cold destruction. II means failure,
disgrace. shipwreck.
One of the greatest whisky manu-.
facturers in the world was asked II
he had any difficulty in keeping his
employees from drinking whisky. He
owns one of the most famous of the
popular brands"
No said he, there is no DANCE:
of my people drinking whisky-they
know the stuff is poison. n."-Chicago

When the King Of Spain was at
Xeres lie greatly admired a horse be-
longing to Senor Rivero, one OF the
notables of the town, who at once
presented him with the animal.
The King refused the gift, but the
other day, at the pigeon shooting at
the Casa de Campo. near Madrid, a
match was arranged between the
King and Senor Riyero. The stakes
were, on the Kings side. a gold piece
of 100 pesetas, and on Senor Rivero's
a souvenir of Here's. Like a skilful
courtier, Senior Rivero lost, and sent
the King the horse which he had so
much admired as a souvenir of Here's.
The King could not refuse to accept,
but he at once sent the senor one of
the best horses in the royal stable in
exchange.

LIQUOR in Londen,s East End.

The exposure of the excessive beer
drinking which prevails in the East
End of London. made in a book writ
ten by Rev. Richard Free, has stirred
that city. He declares that the people
of many districts in that part of Lon
don have absolutely no other religion
than that of beer drinking. In one
district, he says, where the average
weekly wage is 26 shillings per man,
there is a saloon to every 29 men.
while in another district there are
only % men to saloon.
In these districts more than 90 per
cent of the families are drunkards-
men, women and children. One of the
best known clergymen OF London
Canon Horsley of St. Peters church
started out 10 investigate the other
day and says he had never dreamed
of the terrible state of decentralization
existing in those parts and that the
worst of II is that the womer are far
worse than the men.

Drinkers Are Unsafe Patients.

DR.. ID. II. Mann, Grand Chief TEN.
plar, of New York State, who is
medical practitioner as well as an
startling statement concerning an.
other of the perils in which liquor
drinkers continually stand:
Could men, he says, be made tc
realize that the drinkers of alcoholics
are in vastly greater danger than alb
stainers, when attacked with disease
or subjected to a surgical operation
and their greatly increased liability
to succumb under such circumstances
it seems as If they would cease theiI
destructive practice of imbibing alco
holic liquors. But no, they will moi
be convinced.
There is no condition abnormal tc
health SO constantly dangerous as thai,
which the drinker causes by his habits
of induging in the Intoxicating cup
Excessive drinkers and smokers make
very difficult subjects for the admins
tration of anesthetics. The worst al
coholic subjects may require enorm
Gus quantities of the anesthetic and IL
extreme cases, nitrous oxide, laughins
gas, may be practically useless.
Dr. Hewitt says that in the case O.
a man who smoked thirty cigars a day
he had to push the anesthetic almost
TO a dangerous point to secure the dc
sired result. Yet the drinker will list
en- to all these statements with as
much Indifference as if they were
fairy tales simply recited for chill
dren's amusement.
