ALCOHOL AND THE MAN.

Why should the sale and manufac.
lure OF alcoholic liquor be prohibited
IN our W country and in all tho
countries of the world? The answer,
says Dr. Carolyn Geisel, In her lecture
on Alcohol and the Man Himself" Is
found in the brain and body of man.

tographs of two brain cells-one from
the brain of q normal man who had
worke all his life for the good of
humanity and bequeathed his body
after death to the dissecting table;
the other from the brain of an alco-
nollc, a victim of the liquor traffic,
who had gone to Paris and died in dis
grace, and whose body was taken to
the clinique, where the bodies Of
criminals, paupers and detectives are
used for dissection. The picture of
the two brain cells shows the normal

elastic for the life vibrations like a
beautiful plume of feathers, and the
abnormal, a mere skeleton of what II
once was, distorted, stunted and thick.

and what is left too stiff to feel except

Why doesn't a man stop drinking
when he knows It is injuring him
This Is answered by a chart contain

1.-THE BATTLE is THE LORDS"

This war has given the greatest
blow to the drink traffic the world
has ever known. While empires are
lettering, statesmen and people are
beginning to realize the dangers of al
cohol, and all nations are recommend
ing total abstinence to their soldiers"
says Miss Agnes E. Slack of England,
honorary secretary of the Worlds
W. C. T. U. AS one magazine writer
we'll puts It: THAT some Of the cruel
consequences Of war should be unex'
pectedly offset by a great social and
economic reform is one of the ironies
of circumstances"

PUT AWAY THE GlNMIllS.

This is the way the "Line-O-Type
or Two" column of the Chicago Trib-
une sizes up the situation:
"If one is charitably disposed-as
most of us are-he had better keep
away from the poor parts of the. city,
and mediate at long range on the
misery of the submerged fraction.
Nothing more quickly dries the springs
of sympathy than the sight of a string
of ginmills doing a thriving business.
Here swarm the heads of families to
fling away their wages, and we are
asked to commiserate and support
their wretched progeny"

TAXPAYERS BEGINNING TO SEE,

The liquor traffic costs more each
year than our whole civil service, our
army, navy and congress; the river,
harbor and pension bills; all we pay
for local government; all national,
state and county debts; and all the
schools in the country. In fact, this
government pays more'for liquor than
for every kind of government.-Lillian
