and all contain more or less alcohol,
after standng two or three days.
"ln root beer the combination of
yeast, sugar, and warmth produce
alcohol and the makers of apple
jelly tell us that when cider is three
days old is not safe temperance
drink The most i'll tempered drunk
ards are cider drunkards
rs not beer a GOOD tonic for pros
pectve mothers, someone may wish
to ask? No! The beer taking mother
may honestly believe she is keeping
her health built up, when in reality
he is donC one OF all of these thee
things.
First, he is uniting herself to
noursh her child as nature intended.
Second, she is stimulating TO
undue activity, the sex nature of her
child
Third, she is lowering the vitality
of her child, so that it may survive
only a few weeks or months.
MANY mothers have been ignor-
antly doing all these things, even in
this enlightened day.
"Why are tea and coffee listed
with the Injurious drinks? Do you
ask? Because science places them
there and declares them nerve poi
sons and narcotics.
clarence True Wilson tells US that
strong tea has been known to pro-
duce positive intoxicaton.
"Alfred Mccain, the pure food
specialist, says 1 would as soon start
my children off on beer as on tea and
coffee a neither build bone or muscle
and provide no energy.
Coffee drinking children are usu-
ally under weight, under sized when
compared with water and milk drink
ing children.
AN authority upon drug action tells
u that 1t is 4 we'll known fact
quantities of coffee that sexual ex-
cesses are most common"
THE Methodist Discipline instructs
Us that the use Of tobacco is a prac-
tee out Of harmony with the best
Christian life and therefore urges
members oil the church to abstain
from the use of tobacco in all forms.
"Within 4 few weeks in this state
following a fashionable wedding, at
tie reception, wine and cigarettes
were passed around to the women and
men quests. Temptation in its most
seductive form was thus placed be-
fore the young people OF that fash
ionable assembly.
Il wonder if we realize that dur
ing the last five wears the consump-
ton OF tobacco has increased 275 per
cent and they are working every
avenue to make up in the sale of to-
bacco and cigarettes, the amount
lost by the enactment of national
prohibition,
"The American Medical A Association
declares that cigarette contains n
poison fifty times as deadly as al
cohol and one cigarette contains as
much of this poison a. two ounces
Of whiskey Next to the saloon, to-
bacco has proved our greatest source
of waste and disease.
IF we are to successfully combat
these things We must have a campaign
of education as many good people do
not know the facts. Then the church,
the Sunday School, the public school,
and the community should organize
for team work. We need and must
have the combined strength of the
variou, forces if We would conserve
the health and character of the mass
Is.
"Many young man has gone out
to see the sights and DO the town
and has dipped body, soul and mind
into an immoral stencil from which
he viii never recover and in nine
case out Of ten he viii repeat the
experiment because he has been
taught that boys must SOW their wild
oats' and women have upheld them,
while many other good people have
tolerated such teaching and practice
OF remained Indifferent.
"The call of sex comes to the nor
NAL young giIl, but is >he encourag-
ed 10 SOW her wild oats? Is a daugh-
tcr's virtue more sacred than a sons
Isn't fatherhood as important as
motherhood? Men do not advocate
stuntcd poisoned seed for their crops,
why condone it in the race? Prepare
tions for parenthood are as essential
rs preparations for business and
home making. (
81 wonder if you knew that Piesi-
dent Wilson and the Democratic par
tv who are urging that America unite
with other world powers in the
League Of Nations, by their contract
if accepted, and signed, is the most
cruel and degrading contract ever
signed or carried into effect It not
only recognizes, but ratifies, legal
traffic in women and children and
places them on the same basis as the
traffic in opium and dangerous drugs.
"The offending paraRI aph which
President Woodrow Wilson has until
recently succeeded in concealing from
the merican public reads as follow
Para graph 3 Of Article 90.
"Mcmbers of the League, will in
