Infant mortality Is another result Of

REVENUES FROM THE SALOON.

Apologists for the saloon business
are IN the habit OF referring 10 the
revenue" derived By states and
municipalities from a.. but in so doing
they always forget 10 deduct the cost
Of crime, poverty, and disease en-
gendered by drunkenness. II they
would make that deduction they would
find a balance on the wrong side
Official statistics relating to crimes
in France show tho largest proportion
of criminals IN the districts where
most alcohol Is sold
The deduction is obvious. The facts
seem to demonstrate that alcoholism
Is the direct cause Of the increase Of
brutal lmpulsiveness in men. and. as
result, Of crime. The temptations
found In the saloons both I'm the
large cities and country are the pur-
veyors Of the prisons.
Many Of the accidents that occur in
Industrial Institutions are due TO drink
directly or indirectly This Is so well
established that a pamphlet issued by
the Fidelity and Casualty company
OF New York. contains the following
advice:
mo man under the influence OF
liquor. even slightly so, should be per-
mitted 10 remain in the works, much
less TO work Nor should man whose
nerves have been rendered unsteady
