Not many years ago a man or Wo- man who Abstained totally from intoxicating liquor was novelty and was forced to explain the phenomenon. In those days man boasted proudly of being 'Three Bottle Man" and looked with contempt on the man who "Could Not Stand Liquor.' A festive gathering then meant a drinking bout, and drunkenness of the guest was complimen; to the host of the feast It was simply matter of public opi- nion. Drunkenness was condemn ed as weakness when it should have been condemned as crime. The ruin and premature death of brilliant men were look ed on as accidents, instead of demonstrations of cause and eff feet.
 But all that has changed. Public opinion is being educated along right lines. The total abstainer no longer has to apologize or eX- plain. All men know that his course of life is the sane one, morally and physically. The drinking man must explain and apologize and is driven to give an excuse for this indulgence. The man or woman who drinks to excess at a social gathering finds no sympathy and must bear the snubbing of sensible people. Science has taught us that man is at his best physically when he abstains from intoxicating liquor And the Athlete either is total abstainer or else is short lived in his career.
 The employe who tries to combine business and Booze" will soon be looking for a place for this special accomplishment. The business man who devotes him self to Alcohol will soon have plenty of time to do so and nc fear of interruption from custom CTS.
 Apart from all Moral Consideration: total abstinence from strong drink is the best business propo sition and the strongest elemen for success in any profession ol business.-Adv.
