PLA YS BIG PART IN

HOPELESS
Can Never Be Cured, Worker As
serts—Two Whiskies Day Dan
ger to Men, Says Farwell.
Most men can take one drink
and then let it alone. Women
who get a taste for alcoholic
drinks forget their womanhood.
It is a dangerous thing for a
woman to drink. She lacks self-
control.
From statement hg Mr* Esther
Falkenslein. L
It is absolutely dangerous for a
man to take one drink of alcoholic
liquor. It is doubly dangerous
for a woman. One drink is rank
poison and no man should take
chances.
From statement lift Arthur Bun age
Farwell.
CHICAGO, Dec. 10.
mentf* were made b\
w tman who for yean
These .vtate-
a man and a|
have studied
alcoholic conditions in Chicago. They t
ore prompted by a finding of scien
tists at .» meeting of the American
Society for tlio Study of Alcohol and )
Other Narcotics In Philadelphia.;
There it was said that two drinks of I
whisky a day is the absolute limit of |
any man.
The alcohol finds a place m the j
nerv«4 centers and oxidation sets in,
the experts say *The general effect is ;
in hurry the degenerating process
akin to old age. It was found that
where about 73 per cent of alcoholic :
cases among men can he cured, wom
en more especial!> society worntsn (
who become alcoholics, are beyond j
The pale of hope.
Men Can Control Their Tastes
* 1 will not say that a man should j
never drink alcohol!* s." said Mrs. ;
Falkensteln. who heads a big settle
ment on the Northwest Side. “but. of
course, it is dangerous. Most men, I
believe, can take a drink a day, j)i
perhaps two. and never fall any low
er. Others can not without stum
bling.
“Men are far more able to contro,
themselves in this respect than wom
en. I do not like to see women drink
ing. because I know when they get a
taste for anything they forget their
womanhood and lose all self-control.
It is a dangerous thing for a woman
to drink."
.Mr. Farwell is at the head of the
Chicago Law and Order League. For
40 years he has been a foe of the
liquor traffic.
In 1873 I signed a pledge," said
Mr. Farwell, “immediately thereafter
] started a study of alcoholics. In 4a
> cars of watching the liquor traffic I
find that it is absolutely dangerous,
almost suicidal, for any man to take
even one drink a day or week.
Chances of Life Weaken.
Why any man or any woman
should wish to put alcohol In his or
her system is beyond me. it is poison.
We have a difficult time under the
best of conditions to stand the physi
cal strain of battle with life. Our
chances arc weakened ami we are put
on the defensive when we begin
poisoning ourselves with liquor.
Perhaps scientifically it is known
that the human body can absorb a
< ertain amount of alcohol in a cer
tain length of time, hut that has noth
ing to do with the matter, as l see it.
'When the system becomes used to
taking care of even a small amount of
alcohol, the mind, in most cases, is
not strong enough to stop there and
the habit grows until we find Just one
snore human wreck.”

Well, home of the letters which I
aim printing to-day should contain a
few Htigg**ntions to the husbands and
wives who are still baffled by the
question What is the best Christ
mas present’’
Not a few of them proved an in
spiration to me when I read them, but
mavbe I'm a trifle sentimental. Al
am rate. I like to read that wives
really wish to give their husbands
presents which they have made, them
selves -somethin* that will bear I lie
mark of personality.
And I also like to know ibat hus
bands snatch enough lime from their
business cares lo think up some ap
propriate xlfl for their wives. It's a
good sign when we can pet both
sides of tlie family thinking and
plarmln* li means the quick solution

One of the sad memories of the stom
ach sufferer are the days when he could
cat the meals that others ate.. He re
calls this joy and the relish of many
special dishes, but to attempt the same
thing now would be followed by dis
tress. if not painful suffering.
Just a single Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tab-
lei eaten like candy after a meal will
,i -dst in quicklv and harmlessly digest
ing such a meal. In a brief time the
faulty digestion will become normal and
man may eat as he desires
And Now I Can Only Eat Soft. Mushy

Then the occasional use of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will bring to any
one a ignore enjoyable and comfortable
feeling after a large meals than one can
possibly imagine
The entire secret of Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets from a successful digestion
standpoint lie.s in tlie fact that they
are composed of those elements which
the system needs most and would sup
ply If It could.

obtain a box this very day. Trice, 50
