There is no man smart enough to

Let that statement soak in"-it's
true. 1t is also true that the Ameri-

the drinking man, they do not want
to do business with him or permit
him to handle their affairs.
Why? Because they know he is
untrustworthy; his brain is not
clear; he is in a measure insane. Who
willingly employs a drunken physician
or lawyer or anyone whose brain is
muddled with liquor? Such man is
a living lie-attempting to sell his
