TQHld be much better off if they did
by small doses does not promote health
or prolong life, The moderate drinker
is laying the foundation for physical
suffering later on. He is weakening
his resistance to disease and making
himself an easy victim to maladies
that total abstainer would easily
overcome.
But the other class of drinkers are
the ones who rouse people to action,
These slaves of the still stand for just
what they are. Thera Is no deception
about thair condition. They have long
since passed the point where it was op-
tional whether they drank or not.
They drink because they must, and
their pitiful struggles and useless att
tempts to break their bondage are q
constant appeal for effective measures
Ia dealing with the liquor problem,
Every crime that is committed on
account of drink is an argument
against the sale of whisky Every
home that is destroyed by drunken
ness is a plea for total abstinence.
Preventive work is good, but it
should not stop with the young. There
is no age limit in the question of drink
ing. One of the most able and sue,
cessful lawyers in q great eastern
metropolis had been brought up with
the idea that II he let drink alone un-
til he was twenty-one he might take a
little socially after that without dan
ger. He drank the first glass at twen-
ty-three, but before he was forty he
was compelled to take treatment to DO
cured of alcoholism.
An exemplary woman IN western
: city, living quiet home life, with none
of the trials of business or the allure
ments of society. commenced taking a
little liquor as medicine when she
was thirty-two years of age. She
thought it made her feel better But
at forty she was a drunkard.
These are only two instances of an
experience that is true OF hundreds. IT
| is a common error to suppose that ma
turity brings control of appetite The
action of poison Is not bounded by per
