"a doctor connected \ with one Of
the city hospitalsl who specializes
in the treatment of inebriety, says
that IS is the age when many men
become confirmed drunkards. He
states his case as follows:
MAN IS primarily a biological be-
ing and the drunkard Is simply a
normal man plus alcohol. II man
begins to drink at about the age OF
"a or rs and continues to do SC
steadily he generally becomes con-
flrmed drunkard at about 35~ II he
passes that age in safety there is
little likelihood of his ever being
sem to a psychopathic ward"
The principal causes Of inebriety,
this doctor said. are malnutrition,
nervousness and nagging wives.

tion bureau Of large charitable
institution which handles approxt-
mately $4,000 cases OF homeless

He is either we'll started on the
road to success or he has arrived at
the point where deterioration be-

Most Of the homeless men, vag-
