WOMEN DRINK AT BARS.
Intemperance of English Causes De-
teriorntion of Race.

We have grown SO accustomed to the
spectacle of crowds of women in the
bars of London public houses that II
has ceased to strike us as anomalous OF
degrading, but it always gives Sc
we're shock to visitors from Australia
and America, where no respectable wo-
man would be seen entering a public
bar.
An Australian NJ. L. who has been
recounting his experiences during a
recent English tour says the most ap-
palling sight he ever witnessed was
the multitude Of women in the public
house bars of London and the provin-
cial cities. In his opinion this wide
spread evil is largely responsible for
the physical deterioration Of the Brit

THE FOLLY OF DRINK
ALCOHOL DESTROYS BOTH THE MIND
AND THE BODY.

II Is Impossible For Man to he IA
DrunISard and Maintain His Moral
Ba1ance--The Inebrinte Is IndiRer-
cnt to All Duty.
At the door of drinking saloon on a
busy street the usual morbid crowd
gathered watching an unfortunate upon
the ground
1t was not woman fortunately that
the crowd was watching, but man.
He was gray haired, past fifty. In fall
ing he had dropped his wooden
crutches
Two men of kindly impulse lifted
him to his feet and tried to balance his
crutches once more.
In the crowd a cynical voice said
wouldn't you think man on
crutches would have sense enough not
to drink
We are all on crutches, and the best
of us is balanced none too well.
We have risen from barbarlsm and
brutality OF all human beings on
earth now a great majority are still
savages in every way. And those that
call themselves civilized" are far more
than half animal in their nature
Lynching crowds, prize fights, mockery
for the unhappy drunkard and thou
sand other daily sights prove that we
are only animals still
men.
/ Our crutches are kindness on one
hand and justice on the other.
These crutches have been recently
manufactured by our brain.
/ Whatever interferes with the brain
knocks the crutches from under it.
Folly made that poor, gray haired
man drink when he knew that he need
ed all of his mind to control those
wooden crutches. Nobody knew what
drove him to drink at the risk of phys
ical disaster
How much more foolish are other
men who know they need all Of their
mind to balance their moral crutches.
Drink destroyed the balance of the
man with wooden crutches and threw
him to the ground.
More surely will drink destroy the
moral balance and throw down the
mental crutches that uphold us all
Think this out for yourself in detail
Think Of the man who is remarkable
for his devotion to his family and te
the public welfare.
Don't you know that drink makes
such a man Indifferent to all duty?
1t is possible for a man on woode1
crutches to drink and still keep the
crutches under him. You may see oc
casionally drunken man keep hi.
balance ON crltches or a wooden leg.
But it is not possible for a man to be
Il drunkard and keep the balance tina
his moral crutches give him.
That remark. Wouldn't you think 6
man on crutches would have sense
enough not to drink?' applies to every
man and most of all to the most mora
men.
We have crutches for the mind
crutches-as we have wooden crutche:
for the body
Remember that the desperate thinl
about drunkenness Is that 1t knocks tn,
moral clutches from under us, throw
Ing us back to the PROSTATE brutal ami
NAL condition of the past.
Remember that man with intelli
gence who deliberately allows drunken
ness to deprive him of moral force 1,
infinitely more to blame-because he II
more intelligent-than the poor old maj
who allowed drink to get the better o.
his wooden supports Boston Amer

But the role OF alcohol as panacea

On a summer excursion?
OF course
You don't have to answer
If you don't want to.
Under our grand old
Constitution
No man is obliged
To testify against himself.
Still
II is nothing
To be ashamed OF.
Other men have bit
At the game,
So you have no occasion
To feel lonesome.
II looks alluring

A ride on a swell train
For about a hundred miles
More or less
And back
For one PUNK.
Not word is said
About extra charge
If you have to stand up
All the way.
You start off gayly
With a light heart
And a lunch basket.
BY the time you get
To the train
All of the choice seats
Are taken,
And you are lucky
If you get one
On the sunny side.
Soon :he man comes along
Who didn't forget
To bring his family.
Babies eating lunch all over you
is only one of the pleasant Incl,
dents of the trip.
You know the rest, and / dom
blame you
For not owning up that once up
on a time
You went along.

Our answer to such inquiries cannot be

way of doing It. We recommend the
frequent cutting of it close to the

after cutting with straw or spoiled
