-3TC3 ?OrT), N. G,TriY, JANUARY 20, lsn. .. By Dr. SopfcU Fiw - ; , ': --' Listen" Tenth. ' You perhaps know good fellows who seem able to drink now and then " without getting drank or becoming chronic alcoholics. , Maybe you do, - But answer thia atiestibni did voa ewr see aynone who was any better for taking a drink? Are your drinking companions those in whom their em- ployers have the greatest confidence? Are they the ones who advance in the business world and become leaders in their respective communities? Seldom, if ever. Alcohol dethrones reason and causes confused thinking. It ruins health. It tears down character. Ultimately it destroys body and soul. v Alcohol is not a food. To indulge in it at all is a dangerous practice. For the majority of people the habit is very easily formed and in some cases seemingly impossible tc break. This is because alcohol attacks the brain cells and the nerves. Some in dividuals are very susceptible to its influence. Once having acquired the habit of drinking, they are powerless to resist it. They are slaves, as help less as though they were bound hand and foot, and dominated by a brain less, heartless fiend that drives them hither and thither at will. Remember that when you begin to tamper with alcohol you are playing with fire. It can easily get beyond your control and destroy you and all that you hold dear. A large number of the inmates of our insane asylum got there by following the drink road. The writer once knaw a brilliant young physician who formed this evil habit For. long periods of time he abstained entirely, and then the ap petite would overcome him again. At first his friends were patient and for bearing with his weakness. His fath er, also a physician, was grief strick en and made every effort to reclaim him, but in vain. He continued down the wrong road with his enemy, alco hol, until he became a tramp and out cast Finally he sent a bullet crash ing through his brain, aa many of alcoholic's dupes have done before and since. Listen youth, if you've started down the wrong road, turn back now, while hope, ambition and health are beck oning you to come into the' right road. You may have to leave some of your old companions who have been marching with you down the wrong road; but if they won't turn around and travel' with you in the right direction then you must leave them behind and save yourself before it is too late. There is a guide who will always show you the way to travel. This sruidn we call the lRfhl. TuVa it for your companion. When in doubt, con sult its pages. If you follow its guid ance, you will reach at last the city where dangers and temptations will not assail you, and where you will be safe forever-more. Listen youth, if you've started down the alcohol road, run away from it now and never enter it again, or it may be forever too late. dents were listed as follows: I ( Eighth grade:.
