WE CANNOT WIN WITH DRINK.
In a recent speech in Manchester, Captain Arthur Kvans, M.S. (a distinguished surgeon, now serving at the front), after referring to the action of the King and the way admirals, generals, statesmen, pressmen, novelists, and doctors are supporting the lead, said: ‘Now, when we are up against serious things, when the verities are being revealed, the new advocates of temperance have discovered what we taught long age. We cannot win with drink, fo? drink and the best are incompatible. The world’s tragedy and tin* world’s need have led great folk to see what drink really is and does. What temperance people have long and truly taught, war is publicly demonstrating, shouting it from the house-tops. Man cannot be best in body, brain, or soul with alcohol. Alcohol wipes out the best bit! The keen edge of muscle and nerve, the fine impulsive processes of thought, and those highest powers whereby all communicate with and become part of the divine and the highest.”
