In the autobiography of Mark Ruth

ne knowing what else to use resort
ed to wine He found after time
that the drink habit was taking strong
hold of him So he resolved that
he would touch no wine in the day
time. but would do his work and then
take something at night There was
a new development then. for he found
himself eager for night To come SO
he could indulge In drink. not in an
intemperate way. but far enough TO
overcome his physical sufferings
Presently, as he felt the strong
craving all the day long for drink and
found that he was no. entering with
proper spirit. but listlessly, into the
days employment. be startled him
self by demanding whether he was
going to be the slave Of the bottle
or be free man
Such slavery he saw meant degrade

kept up the drink habit he must re-
linquish all hope OF making anything
Of himself He must give up his
chosen pursuits in which he had
taken so much delight. He must drop

thousands Of other young men who
had gone the same road into obscurity
and uselessness.
He balanced the two In one scale
was what were offered by wine-tem-
porary relief from physical pain. and
temporary efation Of spirits In the
other scale the opportunity OF grow
ing along the lines Of study which
he loved, and the prospect Of making
his mark somewhere in the world
He decided that he was not going
to be such a fool as to lose what
was best for what was so inferior.
Whatever drink offered was only for
little while anyhow. and II his ex
perience would be like that of others
before him. the temporary relief and
exhilaration would be followed by
greater pain and depression. The
young man had too much good sense
to turn away what was noble for
what was base, so he stopped using
vine, stopped completely, and never
regretted having done So No one
ever does regret sue a step.

that harm is done by doses much
