EAT YOUR WHIsKY-DON'T DRINK 1T

EAT YOUR WHISKY-DON'T DRINK 1T
fRv w. T. Anderson, Macon Telegraph)
While we are having mass meetings for the
purpose of running out of town the bootlegger,
the blind tiger the moonshner and their pa
irons let us consider another plan by which 1t
can be done effectively and lastingly
As long as there is demand for whisky it
will be supplied. Don't forget that. And the
main reason the prohibition law is as difficult
of enforcement as it is, is because there is de-
mand for whisky.
That has been The Teegraph's position on
prohibition ever since it was first mentloned-
awav hack yonder Kill the demand, and the
question is settled. Education as to the i'm
portance of temperance has been the main
quality in The Telegraph's argument. But we
progress. The sun do move.
For instance: 1t has been discovered by
Singer Andrusiani, an Italian scientist, that
10000. 900 gallons of alcohol can be salvaged
from the bread ovens of Germany alone every
year. He has invented an attachment for the
public bake oven that will gather from the
fumes going through the stacks this amount
of alcohol
Think of that! Who put that alcohol in
bread-dough? What was it done for? Isn't
it reasonable to believe that God knew what
he was doing when he made alcohol and put
it into food for man and beast? If we evap-
crate it from our food isn't it reasonable to be-
lieve that there is minus in our bodies that
must be supplied? We are afflicted with
nerve troubles and a thousand other diseases,
and we take medicine and drink whisky.
Suppose the city of Macon could be awak-
ened to the importance of eating food as God
made it-with the amount of alcohol in every
mouthful that he intended us to have and
made our bodies to require. 1t is a safe esti-
mate that within six months time there would
be no demand for alcohol-no necessity for it.
If we normalize our bodies by putting into
them the food that God makes for us, without
adulteration or denaturing we should have no
more craving for alcohol than does the horse.
The lower animal gets his alcohol in the diff
fused state, mixed with food, and there isn't
a dumb brute that will take whisky as man
does.
Of course, go on with the big stick and run
out the bootleger. Appeal to men to rise to
righteousness and live sober lives Go on with
this good work, by getting the mind of man
behind his material weakness and make all
Importance of natural food as God made it,
the demand or fancied demand for alcohol will
vanish, and with it the bootleger will vanish.
And will stay vanished. And that is the con-
summation to be striven for.
This preachment involves no hardship. An
abundance of uncooked foods with every meal
will make sober man of the drunkard and
sane man of the insane. You ask, what are
the uncooked foods that can be eaten? Cante-
loupes, peaches, watermelonS,, blackberries,
Strawberries, celery, lettuce, carrots, cabbage
slaw, onions. tomatoes, apples, oranges,
grapes, grapefruit-in fact, anything that can
be eaten raw should be taken that way, as
God made it. He made the body and made
food to sustain that body, to keep it fit. And
man for thousands of years followed his Max
er and enjoyed good health and nine hundred
years of living, in some instances. Then he
began milling his food, throwing out valuable
elements, and then cooking it and driving out
the alcohol-and then buying whisky in bot
ties and making fool of himself. Drink milk,
lots of it, and eat raw foods If you are too
poor to buy raw foods, then eat wheat, which
the Creator apparently intended as cheap food
for man and to take the place of all the raw
foods when he couldn't get them. And re-
member wheat has more alcohol in it than any
thing else-not the bread, but the grain itself /;
boil it in closed or sealed can and eat it.
Start to get right with God by eating His food
as He made it.
