1T DOES NOT PAY.
Why the Man Who Works for a Living
Should Not Drink Beer.

1. The man that drinks beer can
not earn as much money as he can if
he drinks water instead. He cannot
do as much work nor as good work if
he drinks beer because beer weakens
both the body and the mind He is
more likely to be sick and lose time
II he drinks beer than if he does not
The fat, heavy beer-drinker may
look healthy but he cannot stand the
strain of long or heavy lift Strength
is in muscle, not in fat. Beer makes
fat but does not make muscle
Railroad managers will not allow
men who run their trains to drink
beer, because they have found by ex-
perience that beer drinking has caused
the loss of many lives and much val
liable property. One superintendent
says: IF it takes ten glasses of beer
to make man drunk, when he has
taken one glass he is one-tenth drunk"
No man in that condition is fit to be
entrusted with great responsibility.
Men who do not drink beer are not
only able to do more work per day,
but their powers of endurance are far
greater than those of beer-drinking
men. In intensely hot weather you
can almost count on the beer-drink-
ing men being compelled to lose at
least half q day every two weeks.
2. Beer-drinking often Injuries a
mans health much sooner than he
realizes.
The injury which beer does to
health says Dr.. Rudolph Wlassak, of
Vienna, lis not as easily seen as in
the injury done by whisky or brandy.
The whisky-drinkers appearance
easily betrays him But think of the
round contented face of the true beer
drinker. Does he not look as if he
were in good health? How deceitful
this appearance is, is only learned lit
tie by little as the alcohol in the beer
combined with the large amount of
fluid, acc emphasizes its destructive
work on stomach. heart. blood vessels,
lirer and kidneys"
). The man who drinks beer is
likely to drink more than he intends
to.
II the beer-drinker takes enough
to make him dunk he is likely to get
into fight or other trouble and be
arrested, lose his money etc.
o A beer-drinker's children will be
likely to follow his example If they
do they will not learn as well in
school; for beer makes school chill
dren stupid: and they will not prosper
SO well in business Tor beer dulls til
brain; they will not be able to do as
much nor as good work for beer re
duces strength and power of resist
anCe.
G. A man who brings his children
up to drink beer cannot count on hav-
ing prosperous sons and daughters to
be proud of and to support him in his
old age.-Committee of Temperance of
Presbyterian church

Suggested as suitable device for the
saloon sign board.
Put the Saloon Far Away.

The Chicago Tribune says: The
greater the distance to travel, the less
the likelihood of temptation. At
a distance of three full miles a saloon
is not so demoralizing as when near
at hand, and the average young man
is likely to give the subject serious
consideration before he traverses that
territory to crafty the cravings of an
unwise and unwholesome thirst"
Many times we hear it said that the
proximity of the saloon has little to
do with the amount of liquor con-
sumed. This is specious, but little
thought will convince us that such an
argument is fallacious.
