One More Word
1 IKE all red-blooded men yon have a natural de-
. sire for stimulants. At times, you will aetu-
ally feel the need of them.
I am fifty-five years young and all my life I
have drunk beer—temperately. That fact is largely
responsible for my present rugged constitution.
I want you to pattern after me. Whenever
you feel the need of a glass of beer, drink it. It’s
the drink of real temperance. Those people you
meet up with in life who tell you
total abstinence is temperance are
deceiving themselves.
You, like all good men. bare a
perfect right to drink beer moderate
ly. In the ranks of the men who con
fine their drinking to mild, healthful
beer, vou will find the best definition
of real temperance.
