A paper published In Yorkshire,
England, reports that some 5000 chill
dren Of Gateshead were recently re-
quired to do essays on physical De-
terioration and Alcohol" as tots in the
primary schools Of this part Of the
world may now toss of brochures on
Variations In the Epithelium Cells In
Invertebrates Marsupials and Planti-
grades" These Gateshead children
had valuable thoughts to contribute to
the temperance movement. The York
shire paper goes the length of pub
fishing some Of the gems brought out
In this outpouring Of infantile sapi-
ence. Here are few of same:
"Alcohol is useful" says one Of
them, being most exquisitely pithy,
''but not in the body. It is useful for
I polishing furniture"
I ~ hope shall never touch It until
am dead" says another, and we wish
him luck.
"A man who takes alcoholic drinks
can see two things at once"
1.-THE children Of drunkards are often
weak and are sometimes troubled
| with being bowleegedn-truly an ir.
ritating affection.
''Those who take drink are not SO
broad chested as they were 100 years
ago" How true! -
"When a man is Ill the doctor will
say, Are you drinker. of alcoholY
and II he says yes the doctor win
say, THAT Is what has made you i'll;
you have fatty liver"
1.-THE more temporary we live the
better 1t will be for body and mind. "
i "Some people say that II you want
to speak at concert you should take
glass of beer before. You should not
It Is certain that 1t makes you speak,
but you speak heap Of rubbish"
When man gets drunk his brains
will not telegraph properly
II will finish up with piece Of past.
~ have made up myself:
''Never BIO q drunkard:
4 Never touch the gin;
Always be teetotal.
! And you're sure to win"
