DRINK PSYCHOLOGY

When Theodore Herzl was a
young newspaper man, ne went
once to a little party given for
newspapermen at which there
were liberal supplies of intoxi-
eating drinks.
Herzl didn't drink much. but a
little made him shaky and when
ne got up to walk, his feet began
to go this way and that.
Another newspaperman, who
had also taken some drinks, said
to Herzl: How is it, when YOU
drink it seems to go to your feet.
whereas with me, it goes to nv
head?"
That's very simple" replied
Herzl. Drink always affects the
weakest part of ones organism.
In my case, it is the feet. In
yours, the head"
