Nichols Does Not Believe IR The Daily

Ntps
 Chicago, August 7.--Addressing the Lincoln Temperance Chatauqua at Aus tin yesterday John A. Nichols. of Bos- ton, said he favored the man who gets on all night drunks occasionally to the one who takes a nip every day.
 "If I wanted to drink" said MT Nichols. "I would get good and soused and then cut it out for month. It is not nearly so bad to roll in the gutter as it is to take a nip every now and then. A mans physique can't stand either one, especially the lat ter.
 Three persons suffer for every one who takes a drink and he should be made to abstain not only for the self inflicted injuries. but for the injuries he infliets on innocent persons"
