The Taboo On Moderate Drinking.
The use of alcohol is receivng
some hard knocks these days. A
prominent railway system, not
content with the general rule
heretofore in force on railways
forbidding employees to drink
while on duty, now forbids ern-a
ployees to indulge at all in drink
ing out of employment hours, or
in any other conduct which will
impair their health or make them
less alert and less capable while
on duty. The owner of one oi
the nation’s pets —a promient
baseball team —annouces that
moderation in drinking is not suffi
cient; the players on his team
must leave alcohol entirely alone
and abandon cigarettes. The justifi
cation for such rules may be found
not only in the difficulty of being
moderate in indulgence, but also>
in the cumulative and after-effects
of dissipation. The world is
moving; the old fetich of “personal
liberity” at whatever cost of
danger to the public at large
seems to be losing its power.
The Journal of the American Medi
cal Association thinks that the
time may come when every man
to whom the life and safety of
others are entrusted may be ex
pected or even required to be as
abstemious as ball-players and
railway employees.
A Great Truth Retold.
Great truths are realized slowly,
because the greater the truth the
duller the telling of it seems to
be.
But sometimes a great truth is
put into new garb, and then peo
ple stop, look and nod approval.
Here is one of the greatest ad
vertising truths from out of the
mouth of a preacher.
'You can read it and be wiser
than you were before.
“If you go across a lawn once
you tread the grass down, but by
the next norning it will recover
itself, and no one can trace your
footsteps. If you do it a dozen
times the grass will not recover
from the injury, but will wither,
and it will be evident to even a
casual observer that some one has
persistently intruded on the beau
iy of the lawn. If you do it fifty
times, you will wear the grass
away and leave a bare path.”
The object of advertising is to
wear paths on the brain.
If the human brain was under
stood, and if the storehouses of
memory were open to the com
prehension of man, you would
find hundreds of deepworn paths
there.
Those paths would be found so
indelible, so fixed and so lasting,
that longest limits of life could not
obliterate them.
Those paths could be given
names, just as public thorough
fares in New York are called
Broadway, Fifth avenue and Four
teenth street.
Those brain paths you could
recognize as Postum, Gold Dust,
Campbell’s Soups, Douglas Shoes,
and scores of more familiar
names.
Advertising makes these paths.
Absolutely no other footsteps
wore away the lawn and left be
hind a lasting trail.
There is no other way so good
as this to begin to popularize a
name or a trademark. —By Bert
M. Moses, President Association
of American Advertisers.
