ExTRAVAGANT BEINGS.
Palestine Woman Writes on the Evi
of Strong Drink.
Editors Herald:

Editors Herald:
| noticed some few weeks ago Z
piece in the Herald, headed, "Extraya
CANT Beings" | am glad some one
| has expressed their opinion on mans
| wasteful habits. There are many
boys who have a good trade that car
earn $500 or $500 per day who have
| mothers and sisters who are depend
ent on them, some have wives and
| children, still on pay.days the loved
ones are forgotten and their taste fol
drink and other pleasures are salts
fled first, and ii there is anything left
over, after the man has INDUCED in
all the eXtravagant pleasures, then
his family must do on what is left
The poor, tired and worried mother
or wife, goes to pay her bills; to each
one she says: My husband, or son
had so much to pay out this month
| will have to ask you to let me off
with part of my bill. / will try to
pay you up the next payday" Now
Mr.. Editor, when a woman's heart is
breaking, shall Woman's voice be
hushed? Whiskey is the cause of so
much trouble, why does not the gov
eminent prohibit the production and
sale of whiskey? Because it derives
profit by permitting it to be made
and sold. The state receives a profit
also for license. There are one hun
dred thousand men who die drunkards
every year, and the majority of our
people think it would be wrong to
prohibit it, What good comes of it?
None at all. 1t never did any good,
and always produces evil, as now
always, everywhere, just as we see it
here in dear old Palestine. They are
not the worst men who sell it. They
only supply common want of our
people, which our laws permit. The
question is often asked, why do men
drink it," Because many of them
have an uncomfortable appetite for it;
many because it is a mere fashion, a
common custom; very few inherit
the appetite for drink-lt is created
by that which feeds it, and the more
it is gratified the more ravenous it
becomes. It's evil lies in the passion
and will of man, and away below the
reach of law and written constitu-
tons, but within the grasp of a power
that alone can control heart and soul.
There seems no power in mans effort
to stay it.
Stay thou, o Lord the tide of death,
Rebuke the demons blasting breath,
And speed, o speed, on every shore
The day when strong drink Stays no
more.
Hope.
