months. They come and 20 as they

What is the chief cause Tor being down

Drink is usually the immediate cause,
and behind that there Is quite generally
domestic trouble O death In the family
or some other unhappiness. That starts a
man drinking and he loses hold OF himself
and doesn't care. We used 10 think that
all drinking was equally bad, but now Mr.
Floyd believes that the use OF distilled
liquor is especially harmful and that tenn
perance may be promoted by proper use
OF beer. A whiskey drlnker may DO

truly temperate. Mr.. Floyd tells the mea:
II you are dying for a drink we won't
let YOU die That Is, II any one IS on the
verge of the tremens and needs a drink
he can have is right here, but we expect
him not to need many, We can generally
tell by the looks OF a man whether he

he Is going to fall II he looks that way
