SOME MIGHTY POOR EXCUSES
Peculiar Pretences In Seeking to
Enlist RecruIts

IT'S not my concern" I'm not es-
pecially interested in the subject" are
excuses which meet the temperance
worker who endeavors to enlist re-
cruits in the war against the liquor
traffic. Do those who speak realize
what a commentary they are making
upon their patriotism? What reason
can they give for failing to be con-
cerned in an evil which is destroying
young men by the thousand. wasting
the substance of thousands more, and
lowering the efficiency of a multitude
of workers? How can they explain
their lack of interest in a subject so
vital to future generations? Were our
nation at war with one Of the world
powers, who would dare to stand up
before his fellows and admit that he
was not interested in the outcome Of
the struggle? All the horrors of war
sink into insigni1cance beside the
tyrannies and atrocities for which the
legalized liquor traffic is responsible

Total Abstinence and Sport.

Mr.. ]. c. Clegg, chairman of the
English Football association, in the
course of a health lecture at Shelf
field showed that the best condi-
lions of physical achievements and
endurance We're obtained under total
abstinence. Two thousand years ago
the youth of Greece entering the Olym-
pic games were urged to abstain from
wine. In his younger days, when he
played football, and won about 120
prizes, including so frsts on the run
ming track, fellow-competitors remark
ed to him that as he was an abstain
er he had an advantage and ought to
give them start. Mr.. Clegg attacked
the system in vogue in England of
putting footballers in public-houses,
and he declared that If the men did
not touch the drink, the hours spent
in the air of a public-house put the
men off form, and he gave instances Of
this having occurred.
