Tabulation of answers, based on the jugdment of the highest au thorities-on life and-health,-gives this conclusion AlCOHQLIC POISON SHORTENS THE AVERAGE LIFE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE THREE YEARS. Any schoolboy can work out the rest of it. Taking - the 100,- 000,000 population of the United States and its colonies, multiply that by three, the number of years cut from the average life of the American people by alcoholic poison. . That gives 300,000000 life years annually. The average length of human life in the United States is thirty-three years. Divide the 300,000,000 by 33 and yon have the average loss of possible life in one year, or OVER NINE MILLION LIVES. In the United States the average value of a human life is given as $5,000. . Multiply the 9,000,000 by -6,000 and you have 45,000,000,000, or more than the great European war will cost if it runs three years. ' In' the midst of its waV, Europe is better off than ever before, for the manufacture and sale-of alcoholic drinks have been curtailed to ithes lowest point. No wonder . Bussia was willing to enter-the war, with its alcoholic traffic abolished; By cutting out the'drink- ing of alcoholic beverages, Russia saved a loss of ' 13,000,000 lives; a year, while: in the war the great empire cannot lose more than 2, 000;000 lives year. When a war ends, the killing of men is over. The. warfare of alcoholic poison against humanity will not end until -the manufacture oitaii aicononc arinKs is suppressed. iNaiion-wiae proniDitiqij ior the United States has grown much nearer within the past year.-That such a proposal should receive a majority vote in the national House off Representatives in 1914 was a fact iinthought of as recently as five years ago". The i-ote taken last week is the greatest prohibition victory ever scored in jthis country. At the next session of Congress the question will be up again. It will be an issue in the next Presi dential campaign. Within a few years the traffic in alcoholic poison in the United States will be totally ended. When we closed the balloting on . the alcoholic (question, we stated that an important announcement would be made at the first of the year. The announcement is that THE BOYCE WEEKLIES WILL NOT PRINT ANY ADVERTISEMENTS OF WHISKEY, WINES; BEER OR OTHER ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. Our readers have decided that for us, by their replies ; to our inquiry which showed that the great majority of them recognize the fact that ALCOHOL IS A POISON. The publisher and employes of the Boyce; Weeklies are' fully convinced that' th use of alcoholic beverages is injurious to eveiy" body.
