A Short Sermon by Travelling Man

The other day at Alton hotel there was quite
a good deal of discussion going on about the Bieder-
wolf meetings, some for and contra, and the
matter of the booze to be preached tomorrow
afternoon came up. Everybody voicng his
timents but nicely dressed, prosperous looking
travelling man turned and said "Ths country is 60
ing to go dry and I'll tell you why It's in the hearts
of the people, Who drinks all of the booze? Those
who can't afford it. Who raise all of the hell? The
people who drink the BOOZE"
Then the travelling man went to eating and said
more He preached powerful little temperance
in just fortytwo words and it caused silence
to reign for while. There was no contradcting his
words. The argument was over.-Alton Evening Tel
egram, January %, 1915.

One of Chicagos prominent surgeons told me the

One Girls Story
By Martin A. Delaney

Chicago Evening Physical Adviser and Physical
Director of the Chicago Athletic Assocation)
It's hard to be physical adviser and keep off the
subject of alcoholic liquors when you realize that
there never can be anything like high average of
physical we'll being in country where large part
of the male population insists poisoning itself reg
ularly or periodically
1t is particularly hard to leave such question I'M
touched when you receive letters like the following;
Dear Sir
"Is there anything girl of sixteen do or give her
father him of using liquor unbeknown to him? lie
has used it all his life and still uses it.
"His Heartbroken and Motherless Daughter.
P S. Please don't overlook this am still living IN
hopes Praying to do good and SO thought
would write to you He reads your advice in the American
every evening"
Now, the drinking of liquor has been talked over
for thousands of years, and add nothing new to
the mass of facts that has been accumulated in that
time to prove that it is not worth while
Some Reasons.
Also [ could hope to make no appeal to this girls
father half as strong her | will simply sum
up few of the RESPONSIBILITY from the standpoint
of the physical trainer-why should not drink
alcohol
Alcohol is not food; it is drug.
1t Injuries the blood.
1t retards the digestion.
1t is the worst enemy of the brain worker
1t hardens the liver.
It destroys the kidneys
1t furnishes support to the body.
It is depressor.
