Only little more than thirty years
ago the attention of a woman was
called to the effect of alcohol and to-
bacco on the brain. She became IN
terested in the subject, and through
her efforts, with the assistance OF
others whom she enlisted in the cause,
the United States congress and the
legislature of every state in the union
nassed laws providing for com
pulsorv instruction in these subjects.
SheIhoped that if the children knew
what injury is done by the excessive
use of tobacco and alcohol they would
refrain. and the cause of temperance
and morality would be advanced.
This woman, Mrs. Mary H. Hunt,
died last month at the age of seventy
five wears. She enjoyed the distinc-
lion of being one of the most sue
cessful reformers, in that within her
lifetime she had secured the passage
of those laws for which she began to
work. not in her youth, but when she
was about forty-tiye years old. There
is less intemperance today than there
was in 1875. The instruction of the
Young. for which Mrs. Hunt worked,
has been one of the causes Of the
greater sobriety of the present gene
ration, declares the Youths Com
panion.
But ''there are other causes, as she
herself would have admitted" points
out The Companion. 1.-The competi-
ton in business is so great that men
who desire to succeed have discovered
that they must keep themselves in
condition to work. Although they
NAV not have moral scruples on the
subject of intemperance. they have
learned that sobriety pays. They in
sist that their employees shall be able
to do good work. The wise carpen-
ter does not work with dull tools.
The employees, therefore, learn also
that it pays not to be dull, else they
will be discarded for better men.
Large quantities of alcoholic drinks
are still consumed but statistics on
such matters are misleading when
used in attempts to prove an increase
of drunkenness. The contrary is the
truth, and the friends of temperance
have good grounds for encourage
