Suppose that every year $200,- 000,000 were spent promoting a com- modity that had made 7,000,000 cattle diseased and increased the number of incurable animals by 250,000 a year, What would cattlemen say? What would the Governmental agricultural departments have to say? Yet that is exactly what the highly colored lavish liquor advertising is helping to do to human beings. Look over those statis- tics again, They present a grim pic- ture of modern drinking, It is not ax- eggerated in the least, Alluring adver- tising is definitely encouraging the drink habit, Why not ask our Govern- ment at Toronto to apply a little of their liquor revenue to advertising the harnIful effects of liquor drinking? We already have 30,000 alcoholics in Ontario, Twenty-two Clinics for the treatment of alcoholics are being set up in Ontario by the Government. is admirable SALVAGE work, What about at least an ounce of pre- vention through advertising?
