CAUSE OF INTEMPERANCE.

A word to those who, with’their'firhott , v hearts and souls, fere crusading the evils caused by alcoholic drink, not in the way of drunkenness alone, hut \! of those tippling and treating custom! ;J! which do so much to sap the health and shorten the lives of millions. Let m! tell them why all their zeal fend self- J i; sacrificing work 'produce so little result. ■ It is because they deal with the driufc . question as one which stands alone. Intemperance is only one of what Mn Spencer so aptly calls “physical sins/' All violations of the laws of health ari ’ ■ki Sins of the same kind, though Pot equal $ in degree; and if a child has been taught, 1 from the nursery upwards that what ii [ Unwholesome it will bo easier afterward!, to sot his mind and Ms habits against the abuse of strong drink; “nips” and “ drinks ”are the natural, successors of irregular feeding, of casual ices, and / chocolate creams, or even occasional Cigarettes, Here I may say, in passing) / 1 that I believe the injury done by thS";.' latter to growing boys is an evil which. calls for immediate and stringent legist lation.—Dr. H. Hutchinson Almoad, ife “Nineteenth Century.” - ! 5
