DRINK A SLOW POISON.

BELOW ARE SOME FACTS THAT WILL PROVE THIS STATEMENT.
Often a man talks about like this: 49, #s
II am not a regular but moderate drinker. No one ever saw me drunk. and
yet I drink every day. And what's the harm of it.? Can you see anything

g.2 The man wolfe seem to have the advantage Of vol. YouS cannot see any
thing wrong with him. So far a outward appearances gosthe case is squarely
against you. The man appears to be all right
But is he? The effects Of drink upon the system do not show themselves
to the extent Of attracting very marked attention, at least until the conditions
are fairly ripe.
~ In the man who comes onto the street after a protracted debauch the effects
of whisky are visible; even the little Children notice him.
ts He may not be drunk: It may have been hours since he touched q drop.
But any ont an sex that his physical system has received q severe. shock
In the moderate drinker these signs n not visible, but the alcohol which he
daily imbibes is doing its work, and slowly but surely his constitution is being
undermined. a8#@ =44@a@46a# #Is
Now and then we run acrosss some old man who is hale and hearty, notwith-
stnding the fact that he has been q moderate drinker all his life
Butn one will think Of denying the fact that this old man is an exception

ACCIDENTS ARE FALLING OFF
Statistics Made Public BY Industrial
Commission Show Big Reduction
During Past Few Months.

Madison-A remarkable reduction in
the number of accidents in Wisconsin
during the last few months is disclosed
in statistics made public by the indus
trial commission. George p. Ham
brecht, chairman of the commission,
attributed this mainly to the drive for
safety which the commission has been
making.
About the middle of last July the
commission reorganized its safety de
partment and placed s. j. Williams in
charge. Since that time careful anal
yses have been made OF all accidents
and suggestions have been offered to
employers to prevent similar ones.
Special efforts have been made to in
terest foremen and shop superintend-
ents. The deputies of the commission
have held conferences with foremen in
large plants, and a number of address
eS on safety have been made.
During each of the first seven
months of this year, when the com
mission had no safety organization to
speak of, accidents We're materially
higher than in the corresponding
months in 1916
