some one please give me some advice?
Dear H. W.-Have you ever asked
yourself why your husband wants
you to drink? 1t is not the alcohol
per Sc which he values, but its eff
feet on you. No man wants his wife
to become liquor addict, but if she
takes life to seriously and does not
know how to play, he hopes that a
little drink will help her to escape
from herself, from the staid, the
stupid, the conventional, and the
dullness of everyday living.
Alcohol is in disrepute because
people so often abuse it. They think
that since little has such a pleas
ant effect that more is bound to
be better, and herein lies the great
delusion. One or two drinks are
relished by the best of people.

Living loses its serious aspect for
the nonce, and the temporary re-
lief is welcomed by the drinker.
So far. so good, If drinking never
went any farther than this it would
be a godsend to the human race.
To people who knew how to use it,
it is, in fact, valuable aid in mo-
ments of trial, when the mind re-
wolves around its problems like an
electric fan and will permit no sur

us, caught in a snarl of circum-
stances, has not longed to drop his
lad for a few hours rest?
The danger Of, a drink lies in the
fact that it dullS the judgment and

The effect of too much LIQUOR is
so revolving that people like your
self have turned from it with fear
and fury. They forget that it is
not the use, but the misuse, of al
cohol which is bad.
A little digitalis is a nfe-saver
to a physically sick heart. Too
much produces the vilest kind of
nausea. Is the drug bad because
the patient took too much? Or is
ignorance the particepS criminus?
Do doctors throw it out because
an overdose makes people sick, or
do they seek to control its use bv
educating the patient?
Now am not advising YOU to
drink. Far from

Above all, I want you to understand
why your husband drinks, and, like
wise wife, seek not to take away
that which is productive of some
easement to him, but only to help
him control its use.
Your husband works hard all day.
He is, no doubt. beset with a thou

he never thinks to burden you
When he comes home at night he
hopes to leave all that behind. He
