Temperance By Harlowe R. Hoyt Temper Am-e is the keynote to success. Tlie man who learns to master • himself is the man fitted to command others. 1 Not only in respect to drinking ■ must a man be temperate. "It Is | far more reaching than that. ' The curse of liquor lias been ; tremendous since man first diseov- - ' ' ered that the juice of the grape ' could he made to develop alcoholic [ content. Whatever may be brought i in its defense by its advocates, i they still must show that before prohibition days liquor was not responsible for tremendous economic waste, tragic accidents, want and misery, poverty and " abuse, broken homes, seduced girlhood and blighted career. But it is not alone to liquor that temperance aipplies. The man of ' wisdom is temperate in all things. He must be temperate in eating Gluttony leads to auto-intoxication... to benumbed brains, ill health and premature death. We dig our graves with our teeth. — Nature intended man to live ' moderately. A little work, a little play, a little time for rest —that is the true formula for happiness and health. 1 ” . Learn to be temperate. It is n lesson once learned never forgot ten. It means happiness—health, amiability, peacefulness, and, in the end, success. For success, after all, is a life lived to the full in happiness f'or voursehf and in making others happy. —o’ ' ■ Esperanto Group Grows Stockholm, —(UP) —The interest ' in tlie world language Esperanto is increasing in Sweden. At the recent 25 anniversary of the Sweedlsh Esperanto Society in Stockholm it was ' announced that the membership list now has more than ,7(M) names.
