MOIR'S VIEWS • Mr. Editor.-1Alfter an unavoidable delay I am continuing my artiOle on. lAleohal ,atal the Individual." In a couple o.f weeks I will send you my .final article of this series, in whichal will discuss "Alcohol in Politics." In my previous letters I emlphas- ised The immensiay and. the serious- ness of my subject. I have also de- scribed how bhe innate and specific action of the drug automatically pre- pares the brain cells so .that an indi- vidual will accept a deception as a truth when normally he wauld detect it as a Lie. If this subtle action of alcohol .were sudden and spectacular it would never be condoned. With leprosy many years may intervene lbefore the disin- tegration of the tissue cells. When poisoned with radium, it may be five years ;before 'the individual realizes his hopeless condition, and so with these thonsands of victims of alco- holism some at 116. some not until 70, according to their susceptibility and amount of alcohol taken, sooner or later become casualties of King Al- cohol. So much for the action of the drug itself. • How about the subject on which the drug acts. In other words what is the type of individual to whom the traffic is catering? In this highly mechanized age we find children growing up in easy shel- tered surroundings, warmly clad in comfortable houses, with large quan- tities of food lavishly provided. and as a result we find them growing up physically stronger, 'handsomer a,nd an inch and a half taller than their .parents. And this apparently seems all to the good. But increase in height and muscle is no, criticism of general improvement. It is found that these same ehildren are lacking in nervous' stability. They can endure neither worry 'nor fatigue, The artific- ially pampered and irresponsible lives they are living and the noisy confu- sion of this modern age of auto, radio and .cinerna are given as the logical reason for their nervoits and tbese poorly adjusted individuals 1 Hensel, March 29th. The Duke Comes Back A drama that will tug at your heart strings. NEWS ,CARTOON Next Thurs. Fri„ Sat., Apr. 7-8-9 Pat O'Brien Wayne Morris Frank McHugh "SUBMARINE D.1." A thrilling drama of the undersea, the men in it and a Girl —COMING— 'illITTING A NEW HIGH" are 'filling our mental hospitals; by hundred's, Many of those who mane the mental hos.pitala make ea:sy sub- jects for the liquor vultures to 'gather in their Foils. 10Reference: Dr. Alexis Carrel, Rockefeller Research Institute, New York.) I was shown a .pictare of 5100 boys in uniform, taking physical exercise on their college campus. The state- ment was made that at the present rate of beverage room patronage, in sap years, BO per cent of ahose bays would be addicted to liquor. Are conditions any better for our Ontario ;boys than that? Will .our legislators answer, And the traffic is also alert to meet apothem growiag demand, viz, .beverage rooms 'for .girls. This is an age we are told of woman's emancip- ation, Mothers and some 'grandmoth- ers too have 1100' advanced and mod- ern methcids of developing the deli- cate, esthetic and domestic instincts ,of their :daughters. So to be consist- ent their argument would be some- thing like this: If our young girls are allowed and indeed sometimes en- couraged to dress like the boys, jump hurdles with the boys and swim with the boys, why not cigarettes with the boys, and cocktails just around the corner. We are told education, not legislation, is the 'panacea for all ifies'e‘ Educate is the word. Edo - nate the iboys and girls at home and at school to hate liquor and all will be well. DR. .MOIR.
