YOU KNOW,
I'VE BEEN THINKING,..
According to a statement
mad© by Dr# Lester Braslow of
the State Department of Pub
lic Health of California, al
coholics cost that state
12 times the total revenue
derived from liquor taxes#
If liquor advertisements
were truthful they would per
haps read something like this
"Our Liquor makes "drunkards#
It will encourage men to riot
robbery, and bloodshed# It
increases fatal accidents and
promotes distress and sorrow#
It deprives many of life,
feaeon, and peace# It causes
Wives to become widows and
children to become orphans,
mothers to forget their off
spring, defile their purity
betray their love# -Liquor
will also corrupt church mem
bers ' and promote spiritual
death# We are in business#to
make money# By law we are
licensed to demolish the
character, destroy the health
shorten the lives, and ruin
the soul of citizens# Pay
your money and; take your
choice of the poisons
A thought fqr the weeks A
wish bone never took, the
glace of* a backbone.
