Whisky Lets No One Alone

By Editor

It is a great mistake to say: "If you let whisky alone it will let you alone." Now here is Dr. Jutkins, who has not drank any whisky for fifty-three years, who can't get a furnace set up in his house on account of whisky. "The men in the shop are on a spree; everything has to stop!" This is the reason given by the helpless contractor who is as innocent of any tampering with whisky as the editor of this paper. But it won't let him alone. It has attacked his business so as to cause a loss of hundreds of dollars this fall. So it is everywhere, whisky lets no one alone. The waste and loss it occasions in one way or another is charged up against all honest effort, and no man can estimate how great that loss is.
