A POWER
Make Social Drinking Unpopular

when You are inclined, but you vii
never drink to excess" And to thu
other: This little spread is danger
Gus beginning. You cannot afford tC
tamper with liquor of any kind. l!
means drunkenness, disgrace and ruin
for YOU
And yet. such a prediction would
voice the truth in many cases. and II
it could be needed would rescue many
a brave fellow who does not know his
danger until it is too late.
When a man realizes mat he must
stop drinking he generally discovers
that he is unable to do 50. He makes
many ATTEMPTS, but some way they
all fail 1t Isn't because he doesn't get
any help His family and his friends
usually do all they can for him. They
bolster him up until they are discour-
aged and Disguised, and they finally
decide that his promises are only eXcu-
SEES; that he doesn't care to stop drink
ing
But they are wrong. He does care
He hates the tyrant, Whiskey. He is
tired of his slavery. His chains are cut
ting into his flesh But he is powerlcs:
He cannot break them.
He does not know that the firsi
thing whiskey did was to tie up his
will power. He does not know that
whiskey has changed the nature of his
nerve cells and tissues until 1t Is Tic
longer Il question of will power, but /:
question of disease and medicine. He
has been trying to Reform. What IL
needs is a Cure.
Don't judge the drunkard by tht
standard you would apply to a vel
man. The continued use OF alcohc

What a man would have done about
other things, before mis- VIII was par
alyzcd by drink, is no criterion OF what
he can do about giving up the drink.
| The efforts in which his will was ef-
| f,ctiNc caused him no physical suffer
ing. while his attempts to do without
liu,Ior are attended with constant SUI
fcring.
It is this question of physical suffer-
ing that takes the incbriatc out of the
ordinary lines of reform work. when
a man is consciously vicious he is re-
snonsib,e for his actions: but when his
actions. whether vicious or maudlln are
the result Of whiskey the responsibility
goes back to the act of drinking.
He vas responsible for taking the
drink. I,lt what caused him to do 50"
DID he wish to become irresponsible
| Did he deliberately plan to disgrace
himself ana distress his family?
| By no means The average mebrlate

, bring sorrow TO his family. He wants
them to be happy and prosperous An''
he makes stronger efforts to conquer
the enemy than those who criticise him
would believe possible.
! There is no subject SO hedged about
| with Inconsistencies rs the liquor ques-
ton. There is no practice which be-
gins with SO much commentator and
ends with such condemnation as drink

Those who approve the social glass
| are often the ones who have the least
charity for the drunkard. They can
not understand how it is possible for
wine or beer to pave the way for whlS-
key, or for the liquor prescribed as q
ItCnic to. lead to drunkenness. Bit

turns out that it did start from one OF
these supposedly innocent causes.
Inebriety is largely a matter Of tenn

lead to moderate drinking in one case
