''IDe man sent To jail Tor drunkenness,
unable to pay his fine. they reason Will
be an item of expense for thirty days or
more. often times he will hardly be re
leased when he Will again appear in court
after 4 dehaueh, to be sentenced, and thus
the community. VITA his pride gone from
constantly being regarded as a malefactor
his usefulness to society disappears Tor
ever.
Jaing Drunl,s Is Error
For years sociologlsts prison officials and
settlement workers pointed out that the
theory Of failing drunkards was in error
but could do nothing. They knew there was
but one way to remedy conditions, and that
way lay through the individual druhkard
He must be cured of his desire for alcohol
All their theories for prison reform failed
at this one point until the Gatin Institutes
with their three day cure demonstrated IT'S
success.
The Courts Send Drinkers to the Gatlin.
There Is an ordinance in Denver that
provides for the curing Of the habitual
drinker instead Of continually sending him
to Jail at a constant expense 10 the city
or county and humiliation of his family.
The city COY yernment pays the fee and finds
it is cheaper 10 send chronic drunks to the
Gaulu Institute than to Jail The benefit
10 society is apparent. Denver was the
first city to establish this practice, but
Milwaukee is To follow its example and
have all cases of This nature treated III
the same manner.

substituted.
