Parents and the Dangers of Cards

By N. Y. Independent

THOSE parents who permit the introduction of cards to their premises may soon learn that their sons visit gambling-houses for the most dangerous sort of "amusement." Total abstinence from card-playing, as well as drinking, is the safest rule everywhere. Christian parents particularly should not allow cards to enter their dwellings; and if found there they should go into the fire with no special ceremony.
