For Curling Sale Of Liquor

Following the business meeting
Of the Calkins Women's Christian
Temperance Union, Tuesday after
noon at the home OF Mrs. f. F.
Gee. the members heard inter
esting and Informative talk by Mrs.
Harriet Whiteman, Winona Lake.
Ind, national director of alcohol
education for the Union.
Mrs. Whiteman spoke on the
text, who knowest but thou art
come into the kingdom for such
time as this" She considered the
present time and the nations need.
AS a nation. she said, we must
learn economy. She referred TO
statement made by President Roos-
evelt some time ago, that Amer
leans must stop spending money
for Injuries. She said, What is a
luxury TO one person, may not be
TO another. One OF the nations lux.
uries is alcohol. The nation las,
year, she pointed out, spent, four
billion dollars for alcohol, while it
cost the nation IS billion dollars. to
care for the victims OF bootleg
liquor. There was more money
spent for liquor than for welfare
and more than the value OF all,
the church's property in the United
States
The speaker gave some startling
statistics. She said. I'VE must stop
wasting our resources. There are
200 distilleries making hard liquor
for consumption. We must stop
wasting man power through drink,
which also destroys ability. Vener-
cal diseases are often contracted
while under the influence OF liquor
Insanity is often caused by liquor
as is crime and delinquency" Rea-
sons the speaker gave for drinking
are ignorance. social pressure, easy
availability and as an escape from
a reality. She said there are ninety
million persons in the country who
never touch a drop OF liquor. She
said 1--WE should see to 1t that our
boys and girls are adjusted, through
helpful education, to themselves, to
each other and to God, and that II
is the duty OF Christians to see that
they have this education. Mrs.
Whiteman quoted from Tennyson's

find, and not to yield"
