No good can come out of - it, nor can it be regulated as the alarming in crease in drinking shows. What ’is the record? Drinking has ruined many a young man despite the false both pleasant alluring advertising of distillers who pictorially say that a man of affairs must drink hard liquor. They even have the gall to claim that water is bad and makes risks to the in- dividual, and that none of these risks are run with whiskey. 1 We should throw every protection of Greater' Chnton is caked to pr?- p 0SS jVji e around our young men in pare for the annual cmve to be mad* soon.
