Mothers! i Thousands of Mothers are jl sad-hearted to-day as they jj think of their Boys. |: They are remembering all the joy that ;j came with them—the dear baby days and ways—and the gladness and pride which 11 made every sacrifice a joy. [ They are remembering their hopes and amj bitions as they watched the young life uni fold into strong, clean boyhood—their I confidence, a little touched'with anxiety, J as they thought of the going 'out into life to face its battles and temptations. And they are thinking to-day of how their ] hopes were shattered. They are remembering the sickening dread and shame with which they first knew that their boyhood came under the influence of the fell power which increased its hold as days passed and slowly but surely degraded him. , It began in almost every case with the | "social glass." The deadly snare was associated with the pleasures of good fellowship. Why should li be? Why should other boys be ruined in this way and other mothers broken-hearted ? ■In one short year—in 1918—no less than 4264 Mothers knew for the first time the terrible shame of having their boys publicly convicted in the Police Court for Drunkenness — and there were many thousands never arrested. Help to remove this danger! It may claim your ou)n boy. It will certainly claim other Mothers' boys unless you help to destroy it.
