THE DRINKING HABIT A CAUSE
FOR DISASTER.

The Neal Treatment in three days
time cures any case of drink habit by
eliminating the poison. This leaves the
drinker in the same condition as regards
alcohol as the day he was born-wIth no
desire, no craving whatever for liquor
of any kind. The Neal Treatment con-
sists of the administration of a harmless,
vegetable remedy, taken internally, with
no dangerous hypodermic injections. AT
the end of three days, the patient re-
turns to his business with nerves re-
stored, faculties frightened and possess

struggles and competition of life with

If YouIAre In The Tolls, Better
Z Take The Neal Way And -
- - STOP!

The drinking habit always brings dis
aster. Every line of business is closing
its doors TO drinking men. Sober men
are worth much more to their employ
ers and demand higher wages. To the
average man, habitual indulgence in in
toxicating liquors is practically certain
TO result IN failure. 1t breaks down his
nervous system 1t units him for bust
ness. He loses friends. He loses mon
ey. The habit brings sorrow TO business
associates and poverty misery and dis
tress to the family. When a man finds
the appetite and craving for liquor has
become stronger than his will power, he
needs medical treatment. No man will
stop drinking liquor until every trace OF
alcoholic poison is driven from his sys-
tenn. He cannot. The poison is the
cause of craving desire.

L
Just as truly as the survival of the
ittest" is the law of the animal king
dom, does the exercise of that law
separate men from brutes.
The law of prey is the guiding prin-
ciple of the animal. In the depths of
the sea the tiny creature is swallowed
by a larger and that in turn by still
larger and so on until the leviatians
ultimately battle for supremacy. 1t
seems the rule of nature that one spe-
cies should prosper only by conquest
and the power of might.
But to man is given a higher con-
ception of existence than that born of
the predatory instinct. To him is CIV
en- a power greater than that of brute
force. He alone is gifted with the SUI
preme faculties of reason and love.
The predatory law which governs
the lower strata of animal life should
have no place in the realm of mankind.
Human life has a higher standard than
the law of prey.
But ever since Cain slew his broth
er. men have attempted to excuse their
evasion of the higher responsibilities
by the law of might. The doctrine of
every man for himself dies hard. 1t
has been greatly modified since the
days of Cain but it still tinctures the
relationship of nations which seek to
profit by the sword. Human RESPONSE
bilities the doctrine of love and rea-
son, are eclipsed by the thirst of world
power.
And the ancient law of prey is still
manifest in the realm of business. Not
too trivial is any excuse to rob the
consumer if the chance is given. Men
are still held up as models for others.

LOOK TO US FOR COAL.

In its reserves of mineral fuels. the
United States holds an impregnable
position as a worlds power in industry
and commerce. Our production of
coal overtops that of any other nation
and. in fact, nearly equals the COM
bined output of Great Britain and Ger
many, the nations that rank second
and third. Inasmuch as the United
States leads the world not only in coal
production but also in low cost of coal
mining, and apparently possesses the
greatest reserves, it follows, as was
pointed out by Campbell and Parker
in 1905, that foreign countries will OBJ
yiously look more and more to the
United States for their supplies of
