WHY DO MEN DRINK ? Prof. Luke’s Answer to this Vexag tious Question, ! » Incidentally Proving that Alcohol is a Food. In accordance with previous announcement, Prof, Luke addressed the Red Ribbon Club in the M. E. Church on Tuesday evening. The atténdance was large, and marked attention was given the speaker’s extended remarks. Prof. Luke spoke substantially as follows: o, e “In the gradual growth of political institutions we may see the results of the inward struggle of man to better his social condition. The changes thus wrought have required years and even centuries of time to accomplish; for, the influences at work were deeply grounded in the very nature of man and which depended upon his intellectual expansion for their potency.— Hence, we have come to view the formation of governments as the gradual unfolding of man’s necessities as they pressed themselves upon him in his advancement to higher stages of use‘fulness. In his primitive state his wants were few, his social ethics simple, but in his march from barbarism to civilization those few and simple elements gradually grew into one great and complex web, which now often baffles the comprehension of the historian or the erudition of the philosopher. The whims and oddities common to the race have become fixed .characteristics, their morals and vices have changed with the conditions of race. It thus happens that the social organism of man is a highly coniplex product developed by the growth of his physical, intellectual and moral nature. It follows,therefore, that the code of morals of any nation is che accumulated:. experiences of past generations,’ which by slow growth have become the recognized rules of conduct. Their vices, in like manner, are growths resulting from the abnormal conditions permeating the social fabric. No social vice permeates the vitals of soeciety more deeply than the excessive use of alcohols; nearly all nations in the world are addicted to its use. From the very nature of things-an evil of such universal existence must have a cause. There must be something far back in the history of man that entailed this condition upon subsequent generations, hence we must look to the conditions of man’s nature for its true cause. The struggle for life is a persistent force inherent in'man which is ever in antagonism with his environment. The destructive forces of nature plying upon his physical being must be supplied by food which must be renewed from time to time that the tearing down process may be fully compensated with new building material. Man,in supplying this want of his physical nature, seems to have passed through three successive stages. The first was the providing for the immediate ne‘cessities of his material nature. That done he seeks to assuage the cares of his mind angd banish uneasy reflections. This effort leads him to the fermentatations commonly called alcohols. It is interesting to note that this lightening of care is widely and extensively attained, but that the chemical substance by the use of which it is bro’t about, is everywhere the same. Savage and civilized tribes, near and remote, the homeless barbarian wanderer, the settled peasant and the skilled citizen, all have found out, by some common instinctive process, the art of preparing fermented drinks-and of procuring for themselves the enjoy-

Fhus whatever material is employed for the purpose, whether the toddy of the palm tree, the sap of the aloe, .the juice of the sugar cane, the syrup of honey, the must of the grape, the expressed liquor of the apple and pear, the wert of malted grain, or the milk of the Tartar mare—in every instance the substance called aleohol is produced by the fermentation, and forms the intoxicating ingredient of the liguor. In the third stage he desires to multiply his enjoyments, intellectual and animal, and for the time exalt them. This he attains by the aid of narcotics. Can it be possible that alcohols serve, to a certain extent, the conditions of these several stages ? “The universal use of alcohols and narcotics must have a cause. A thing s 0 prevalently used among all nations and all stages of society must have a utility; for evidently a thing that serves mo purpose can never have a universal use among mankind. -This fact confronts the investigator at every step he takes to unravel the mystery. He carnot avoid it. It will ‘not be set aside by the bold declarations that alcohols serve no purpose to the animal economy, neither can we ignore it in our efforts to deal with the temperance problem,no matter how much we should be pleased to do so. We must then look at it as it is, not as we should like to see it. If you wereyasked why bread - and meat were universally consumed by man, you would not hesitate to answer that it is' because those articles are food. . Were you, then, asked why clay is eaten by many tribes in Africa and South America, your only conclusion could be that the clay must serve.them as a food, though to you that kind of diet would be poison. “Having no prejudices to intervene to cloud your judgment, you undoubtedly would say that the universal appropriation of any article. for animal consumption must be so appropriated because of its food property. You might reason as you lhike, the food principle would force itself upon you each time as an ultimate conclu‘sion. Because you in your circum-. stances do not need a certain artiele of food, it is no reason that you would not need it under a change of circumstances. Because you can see no use in eating clay, this is no reason that negroes in western Africa, or the na*tives in eastern Asia, or in the island of Java, or in the Sikkim Himalaya, or in northern Europe, or in Finland, or in northern Germany, or the Otomacs along the Orinoco, or the Indians on the mountains of Bolivia and Peru, can do- without it. Change their conditions and the circumstances surrounding them, and provide them with a better food, and there is no doubt but that they will in .course of time abandon the habit of clay eating; but until that is done ‘they will continue the practice, no matter how disgusting to us it may seem. A similar course of reasoning is applicable*to the whole list of alcohols.” Because we can do without them in our present conditions of health and circumstances, it does not prove that we would not need them qunder different eonditions and surrounding circumstances; neither is the argument good which is founded ‘upoun the premise that we have no use for them in our present state; therefore, they serve no purpose whateyer in the animal economy. “A}gl“m which, when taken A‘nm, the system, can serve towards Duliiing ap the lvoes e imaols warmth and vital force fo fluwg: mfififi of the functions of the then, We prove that aicohols do, in

some way, serve the purpose of a food, we will be enabled to understand one of -the chief causes of their universal use. While I do not believe that the right of alcohols to rank as a food depends wholly upon the results' of chemical and physiological analyses, apart from the experiences and ' observations of mankind, I am not averse to the consideration of the mostcrucial tests which these sciences can unfold.” : :

From the authorities eited by the speaker, it was shown that alcohols do serve a purpese in the, animal economy; that they area food; that they preserve- the body weight under extreme exhaustion, and supply the insufficiency of other foods; that heat. is evolved, thus proving that oxidation takes place in the body, and consequently a corresponding power of energy is.evolved. It was shown by Dr. Richardson’s own statements that alcohols must rank with the heat forming foods. ; ‘ “With so much direot and positive testimony before us, how can we avoid the conclusion that alcohols rank among foods? And because of its cheering influences and its aiding nutrition, as Dr. Richardson affirms, may it not be on that account that many weary and depressed souls resort to it for relief? Because of its sustaining life with an insufficient amount of food, may it not be that many on that accourt resort to it? It is not always first drink and then misery, but more frequently misery: and then drink. : 5

“With these facts now before you, I wish to ‘eall your attention to another phase of the question. : “About four hundred years ago the joy of England was her sobriety and industry. Butin the wake of time gradual changes were wrought among her people. A gap was-created between the working class and the barons, which grew more wide and deep. The rich were struggling to become richer at the expense of the muscle of the poor toiling millions. From year to year the social condition of the poor continued growing more miserable, educing a state of society the most shocking of any in the world’s history. It was shown that through the conversion of available lands into pasturage millions of laborers were sent adrift to beg or die. The total number of plows thrown aside were 50,000, each of which maintained six persons in labor, and produced food enough for; them and seven and a half persons more—in all 675,000 persons—who were deprived of their labor, or food, and thrown destitute upon the country. The thousands of poor “turned out of their shrouds as mice,” by the mighty Nimrods who hunted for possession and" lordships, might weNs=cry for vengeance; but there was little chance for redress. .Under these forces the rich became very rich, and the poor very poor, Then came the Poor Law of 15647, which aimed to solve the problem of the poor by reducing them all to slavery, and for their services they were to reeeive ‘bread and water, or small drink, and such refuse of meat as he (the master) shall think best.” Thus was read the doom of the pcor. Oppressed, neglected, starving, is_it any wonder that they sought relief in the beer and ale cup? Is it any wonder that England, under such a regime, transferred. her temperate and industrious laborers into a nation of drunkards? Is it to be wondered at that the age of Elizabeth showed so much intemperance? No wonder ale and beer shops sprung up all over the land like mushrooms; everything that: could be worn or used — nothing being too hot or too heavy

to-be.brought to those shops in payment of ale. While the poor took to ale, the rich took to wine. A somewhat rhetorical writer in 1657 wrote, ‘We seem to be steeped in liquors, or to be the dizzy island. We drink as if we were nothing but sponges . . . or had tunnels in our mouths . . . .

we are the grape suckers of the earth.’ ‘The era of gin-drinking nfarks one of the most eventful events of the eighteenth century in English history. With an insufficient diet and misery all around, the gin-shop became a freguent resort where the poor went to stupefy their sensibility of their misery. 'We have it from Edmund Burke and DeQuincy that wherever the diet of poor families happensvto be too ; much watery broth that it is a pure instinet of nature which forces them ‘into a compensatory stimulus of alcohols. It was also shown from good authority that the laboring classes are given most to drunkenness during periods of financial depression--that they tipple to drown sorrow and to stupefy a sense of wretchedness, that when the people are engaged in remunerative labor they get drunk less often, for when they are busy with ennobling pursuits they indulge less in besotting habits. 2 We might cite many instances bearing upon this fact, but enough has been shown to prove that the greatest drunkenness the world hasever known came from misery, starvation and despondency, which grew out of the social and political systems of the times. It may be laid down as an axiom of ‘history -that where the common people of a country are sunk in vice, idleness and poverty, that the classes avove them are not free from blame. Given an upper class, profligate-and slothful, and it is certain that their vices will be reflected on those below. 'From the facts now before us we are led to the following conclusions: 1. Men, universally, use in modera- ' tion alcoliols because of their food property and exhilerating influences.

2. Many drink to compensate for poor and insufficient food. : 3. Many again drink to blunt their sense of shameto poverty and degradation. o

4. That alcohols are dangerous, and should not be used when the body is in its normal condition. = 5. That destruction of industries cause many to drink. i * 6. That abnormal social conditions lead to misery, which again find their counterpart in drunkenness.

The remedy to be applied is difficult to preseribe, but we may rest assured nothing will eliminate intemperance from the land that neglects the social and political conditions of the working classes. By improving industry and furnisning labor for the many millions will be a great motive to habits of sobriety. L
