high degree Of vitality. Then drink
will be to you abhorrent.
Good consecutive work, either men.
tai or physical, and the use of alcohol
are incompatible.
l am talking especially to young
men-young men who would win their
way in the World-and / ask, can you
afford to run the risk of ruin by daily
ing with this ~arch-enemy that has
laid so many low?
We have been led to think that to
drink Is manly, and to get in a condi-
ton that common sense has fed and
the tongue Is tangled is funny. But
the business world always has the
drinking man, no matter how gifted,
under suspicion.
The use OF strong drink Is neither
manly nor amusing, and no n who
loves you or is interested in your well
fare would think so.
And the truth is, any man who
deliberately turns his glass down, and
declines to drink anything but pure
water, when the others order Scotch"
will always have the respect of the
others Not only this, but he will
have the respect of himself.
Prize Is health; prize your word;
prize your reason! Hold fast to the
resolve, Touch not, taste not, handle
not and work, and you will be point
ed out as a distinguished person. You
VIII possess poise and power; re-
sponsibilities will gravitate to YOU;
wealth Will be yours; honor will drift
your way; friendship will be your por-
ton, and love will illumine your path
way.
