P/iepated -Cy QmeAiaz/i fcuA. Thadz Council
Here is a chart that proves the falsity of charges frequently
leveled at Fair Trade by monopolistic Big Store interests, according
to American Fair Trade Council. The Big Stores have argued that
Fair Trade is responsible for inflationary prices. The chart shows
clearly the ratio of Fair Trade to the total U. S. retail volume —■
about 5 to 100. The volume for 1948, shown on the chart, is estimated.
The small proportion of Fair-Traded products, shown at the left,
actually has had a definite restraining effect on inflation, as various
surveys have clearly shown.
It has been the 95 percent of non-Fair-Traded prices that have
zoomed upward and created the inflationary trend. Extension of Fair
Trade to include a far greater percentage of the retail trade volume
is now sought as a brake on inflation and an assurance of stable values
and better quality in the future, according to the Council.

Bacchus, the God ot the Drunkard
l
Of the countless myriads who
have sacrificed their lives at the
throne of Bacchus, none can hope
for anything except havoc, ruin
anti disgrace. Of a body which
God has so fearfully and wonder
fully made, only a shell is left.
Blasted hopes, broken hearts, des
1 t ruction of homes and death is
; the only remuneration from a
■ life of service to Bacchus.
I It is not enough to say that
the demon drink empties the
pockets, disgraces the character,
brutalizes the affections, poisons
the intellect, brings disease to
the body, curses the home, rohs
the childern of food and clothing,
and widows the companion of
life: vet it does infinitely more—
IT DAMNS THE SOUL. AND
BARS IT OUT OF HEAVEN. “No
drunkard shall inherit the king
dom of God." U Cor. 6:9-10) Since
heaven's gate is not wide enough
for the reeling drunkard to enter,
then surely warnings should be
shouted from the housetops and
| every precaution taken to save
men from the sorrows that al
cohol brings. Total abstience is
j the only escape. “Solomon the
wise one said. ‘Hear thou, my son.
and be WISE, and guide thine
: heart in the way. Be not among
! winebihbers: among riotous eaters
| of flesh: For the drunkard and
j the glut:!on shall come to poverty.
; and drowsiness shall clothe a
1 !..i'it with rags."' 'Plan-. 23:19-21)
i Again, “Who halh woe? Who hatr.
sorrow: who hath contentions?
Who hath redness of eyes? They
who tarry long at the wine: they
that go to seek out mixed wine.
Look not thou upon the wine
when it s red, when it sparkleth
in the cup, when it goeth down
soothly; at last it biteth like a
serpent, and stingeth like an ad
der. Thine eyes shall behold
strange things and thy heart
shall utter perverse things. Yea.
thou shalt be as he that lieth
down in th midst of the sea, or
as he that lieth upon the top of
a mast. They have stricken me,
shalt thou say, and I was not
hurt: they have beaten and I felt
it not: when shall I awake? I will
seek it yet again." (Pro. 23:29-35)
To you that drink to drunkedness,
forsake it! To you that partake of
it socially and occasionally, f^ee^
it as you would a serpent! For
he who take coals of fire to
his bosom will eventually be
burned. iProv. 6:27-28 > and they
that tamper with liquor will be
eventually enslaved. To those who
| traffic in this monster of des
1 (ruction, shall come swift and
terrible retribution. “Woe unto
him that giveth his neighbor
drink, to thee that addest they*1
[ venom, and makest him drunk
en also, that thou mayest look
on their nhkcdness!" “Ye cannot
serve two masters" (Math. 6:24 >
Which shall it be Jehovah or
Bacchus?
