What does this mean? 1t means
that alcohol is a poison and is
unfit for human consumption.
Listen youth! You are now look
ing into the real face of your
enemy, alcohol. Last night with
the jolly crowd, the gay laughter,
the bright lights, he presented
himself to you as a charming and
desirable companion. You gave
heed to his wiles and followed
where he beckoned down the
wrong road.
This morning, in the revealing
light of day, you see him as he is,
deadly enemy that is seeking
your destruction. Don't risk him
again. Every time that you do,
your will is weakened and your
powers of resistance are lessened.
If you continue to indulge the habit
of drink, you are lost.
The liquor habit is increasing,
sad to relate. In one city where
records are kept, women contribute
over nine per cent of the total
drunk arrests. Formerly drunken
women were almost negligible in
this country. Now they are fairly
common.
Many people are so susceptible
to alcohol that they almost inva-
riably become addicts, if they once
begin the habit of indulging in it
at all. They cannot drink in mod

LISTEN YOUTH

You are standing upon the
threshold of life. Only two roads
lie before you. One of them seems
very pleasant and easy to travel
but it will not always be so. There
are swamps and morasses along
the way in which hidden dangers
Turk.
Many groups of young people
have started down this road that
seemed so fair to them. But alas
they have been overcome by enc
mics who came to them in the
cruise of fair friends. They prom
ised them pleasure if they would
but yield to their seductions. &.
Some of these young people who
started upon the wrong road have
turned back and have gotten into
the right road. But those who
heedlessly remain on the wrong
read will find out, when it is too
late, that they are hopelessly en-
tangled in the morasses of bad
habits, shattered health, and
weakened will.
Listen youth 1t is fashionable
to drink cocktails today. There
are many parties and social gath
erings where alcohol is served.
You'd better let it alone. 1t is one
Of the chief enemies that you will
encounter upon the wrong road.
Alcohol seems 20 be such a jolly
good fellow. He's wearing a mask.
If you cultivate him, that pleasing
face will change, and some day you
will know him for the fiend that he
is. If you listen TO his siren song
and follow him, he'll lead you down
to disgrace, despair, perhaps mad
house, or an early death.
Let us look at some of the facts
about alcohol: 1t is a narcotic
poison. At first, it seems to eX-
hiliarate, to stimulate. When you
take one drink it calls for another.
For a little while care seems to
slip away and you feel rich and
happy. Bye and bye the narcotic
properties assert themselves and
