A NEW CURE FOR DRINK.

In the December American Maya
zine Henry, Detmers writes a little
article entitled "a New Cure for
Drink" Mr.. Detmers says that he has
been in the saloon business for twenty
years. He Is not drinker himself
and none of his sons drinks. Out Of
his experience he recommends the fol-
lowing cure for the liquor habit:
II found early in my experience
that as q general rule-there are ex-
ceptions Of course regular consum-
er of fruit was not very good Gus
toner in my business. On the other
hand, a typical booze fighter seldom
touches fruit. always kept some ap-
pies behind the bar for my own use,
and I often experimentally offered
one to a star customer who almost
invariably refused. The more look
ed into this matter, the more firmly
became convinced that these two hab-
! its clash. Not caring to have my boys
acquire the one inoculated them
with the other, and I have found that
the fruit habit early acquired acts as
a perfect antidote to the liquor habit
II mention apples especially because
they are something like bread. one
never tires Of them, which is more
than can be said of peaches. pears and
oranges. And apples. thanks to cold
storage, can. be had every day Of the
school year.
why shouldn't the apple habit be
cultivated in the public schools at
public expense? School trustees could
advertise for bids to supply the school.
Then by means Of a push button
continuance placed at the boys and
! girls exits each child could get his
apple an he marched out to play at
recess time. Two apples a day would
do the work. Children have q verit-
able craving for fruit. have often
!; heard our victims beg another for the
core And If 1t happens that have
merely imagined that the fruit habit
offsets the drink habit. know that
two apples a day will have a valued
Influence on the health, good temper
and morals Of any child.
il Please understand have NO az to
grind. do not own single apple
tree.

covered that fruit juices act ~ .

, it for twenty-five years.
