TEMPERANCE NOTES
WHY NOT PROHIBIT wArER7
(By the National woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union)

A letter clipped from one of the
New York morning papers has been
sent US for publication. The writer
urges that water should be prohibited
as it causes the deaths Of thousands
of people by engendering typhoid and
other diseases. This reasoning is typ
ical Of much that emanates from the
liquor traffic. Water does not cause
disease. 1t has never poisoned any
man. 1t is only when some poison
like typhoid pollutes the water that
there is danger. The remedy is to
prohibit or do away with the poison,
not the water And this, says Tenn
perance. is precisely what modern san
itary science is trying to do. We no
longer confine our efforts to the saw
ing of. the victims of typhoid, we seek
TO prohibit or destroy the cause. The
efforts of temperance people to do
away with alcohol as a beverage is
perfectly logical because alcohol is a
poisonous drug. If alcohol were as
harmless as water only lunatics would
advocate Its prohibition.
