LOOK OUT FOR THE MINE IN
YOUR PATH
It Is as Destructive as Dynamite and More Cruel
Copyright, 1014, by Htar Company.
Whiskey does for the individual human being what the
hidden mine of dynamite does for the ship.
But dynamite works more swiftly and kindly than
whiskey.
When the ship strikes the hidden mine there comes a
shock, a roar, and everything is over.
The boat goes down, the lives are snuffed out.
The water becomes smooth, and that is all.
Not so with that more dangerous mine shown in this
picture-- A MINE FLOATING IN YOUR PATH, and in the
path of every man.
Not in war time alone, but in all time, life’s ocean is
mined with this destructive power. LOOK OUT FOR IT.
Young men are reading the war news today. It is a good
time to talk to them about the enemy that shows no truce,
no time of peace---whiskey.
Every kind of fighting known to war is known to
whiskey.
It destroys always CRUELLY. Sometimes the de
struction is relatively swift, sometimes it is very slow,
sometimes, and in the worst cases of all, it lasts through
out a long life.
Whiskey cheats and marches under false colors.
It attacks the old and the young, and knows no rules
of warfare.
Tell the young man who thinks he can “take whiskey
or leave it alone” that what he says is perfectly true.
HE CAN take it, OR leave it alone. But if he takes it
he will probably find that he can’t leave it alone. BETTER
DECIDE TO LEAVE IT ALONE.
WAR AND WHISKEY ARE TWINS.
War causes poverty, so does whiskey.
War spreads disease and misery, so does whiskey.
War destroys life, and makes man regardless of the
rights of othcrs---so does whiskey.
War is with us only occasionally.
WHISKEY IS WITH US ALWAYS, AND THAT IS
THE PITY.
Whiskey is powerful and taxes men as heavily as war
taxes them.
And whiskey taxing men, taxing life, weakening the
nation. KNOWS HOW TO AVOID ITS SHARE OF THE
TAXES.
Did you observe the other day that when money had
to bo raised for the Government WHISKEY, THE MAN
KILLING POISON, MANAGED TO DODGE ITS SHARE?
You read that there was to be a heavy tax on beer and
a tax on whiskey. But there was no tax UPON THOSE
THAT MAKE THE WHISKEY. Whiskey distillers escaped.
HOW?
The tax on whiskey should have been prohibitive.
The country should have had the intelligence to do
what the English have done---pile up the tax on whiskey,
and discourage its use.
But thanks to political cunning, thanks undoubtedly to
the wise use of money by the whiskey makers-- WHIS
KEY ESCAPED THE TAX.
A committee has been appointed to investigate the
peculiar and interesting fact that the great manufacturers
of alcoholic poison escaped their share of taxes.
It should investigate thoroughly, but mere investiga
tion of whiskey will do no good.
Forbidding whiskey making and whiskey selling alone
will answer the purpose.
Whiskey is a poison, and worse than the ordinary
poisons, for it destroys the mind and the moral character
first, THE BODY AFTERWARDS.
Whiskey should be classed with morphine, cocaine
and the other deadly drugs.
Work to make your fellow citizens realize the nature
of whiskey, the MENACE of whiskoy, and work to have
laws place it as it should be placed, among the recognized
poisons.
The nation says to every man, "You shall not tempt
your brother with opium, morphine or cocaine." It should
also have the intelligence to say, "You shall not tempt him
or poison him with whiskey."
While you work against whiskey work for the aboli
tion of the whiskey traffic, talk to young men, and explain
the character of whiskey.
If any man tries to defend the whiskey business, if he
talks commonplaces about the right of a man to do what he
likes, ask him this question:
"What would you say to the man who gave whiskey to
your boy fifteen years old?"
You KNOW whiskey to be a poison, and you would
consider criminal the man who should offer it to your son.
One of the biggest whiskey makers and distillers in
this country talked intelligently of temperance in a vague
way. At the time he was not drinking WHISKEY, but a
very mild solution of German wine and water.
He was told, "You are one of the biggest makers of
whiskey in the world. And you would consider the great
est criminal in the world and the greatest enemy of your
family any man who should make your son a user of the
whiskey that YOU produce."
Why should a man be permitted to sell to the children
of others that which he would not permit any man to give to
his own children?
THE MINE By Hal Coffman
The sea of life, like the great ocean, is mined---and
the mine spells destruction.
This is an excellent cartoon, because it impresses the
whiskey lesson, using as example the news of the day.

War Will Cause
High Poultry Prices
Food values in many lines have already
advanced as the result of the European war.
< ’anada will need poultry to make up her short
age.
There will be a general increased demand
in this country, due to greater shipments of
meats to Europe. In fact, ESurope will become
largely dependent on America for her food
supply, which fact will raise the prices of food
in general. Poultry foods will have to be re
lied on largely to make up the deficiency here.
It is really the poultryman's opportunity. Head
