WISDOM IN HUMAN NATURE.
“Alcohol,” says. Arnold Bennett, is one of the greatest institutions in the civilized world. You might prohibit it, until you were black in the face, but you could not abolish it. You might ag well try to abolish love. There is, a fundamental wisdom in human nature which laughs; very composedly ;a.t the misguided prohibitionary activities off all one-qj-ed earnest persons, self discipline is the sole genuine remedy for excess. whether in the use of alcohol or in anything else. The youth who has been trained to be master of himsqlf will be the master <rf alcohol, for he will knlow how at on|ce to obtain frqm it all that it has of good, and reject all that it has of evil.”*
