LOHRONIC alcoholics do not

stbp drinking, when they goon a°

spree, until they run out of money or become ill. One drink sets off the fireworks after a dry spell of weeks, months or years. Chronic alcoholism is a disease, It cannot be helped by scolding or incarceration. Most alcoholics are symptomatic drinkers who find release from their feelings through patoxication, } “The old idea that one drink led to usiimited indulgences is not trezm the majority of cases, Only « small percentage of those who indulge in alcoholic beverages be come chronic alcoholics. This type can develop their difficulty at any time in life. » ” » ALCOHOLICS Anonymous members warn young men and women, who wake up feeling fit as a fiddle the morning after the night before, that they may become victims of alcoholism. Apparently, such persons have A greater tolerance for alcohol than the average person, or fit seems to give them a release from their inhibitions,

Chronic alcoholics should be distinguished from heavy drinkers. Men and’ women may drink to excess in connection with their social or business life. They may develop some toler-ance-for alcohol, but they do not find any escape through drink and would stop If circumstances per mitted, wn ac'w ALCOHOLICS Anonymous, the organization which has been so successful in helping chronic alcoholics stay dry longer, that once an alcoholic always an alocoholie, ; They feel that thelr dry spells are prolonged as the result of the

A provision of ‘the bill is that the honeymooners would have to vacate after a certain length of time -— presumably when the honeymoon is over; so the legislators are trying to figure out just when that is.

He makes no move to join her when she starts rattling the din ner dishes in the dishpan, 8he cooks her favorite dinner instead of his. He hides behind the morning paper all during the breakfast. He gets annoyed by one of her failings that used to amuse him, His goodby kiss in the morning is a hurried, one-eye-on-the-clock routine, Bhe starts to complain about how inconvenient the honeymoon cottage is. He announces that the boys are going to get together once a week to play cards, These are some of the small but unmistakable signs that the
