“Save the Boys”

By Arthur G. Daniells

THE large amount that is expended each year for intoxicating liquors, and the alarming fact that the rate is rapidly increasing, with a consequent increase of crime and suffering caused thereby, gives occasion to seriously consider the situation, and to endeavor to do all that is possible to be done to stay the tide of intemperance that is now sweeping throughout the land.
Statistics have recently been published giving the figures for intoxicating liquors, etc., for the year 1903, which show the enormous expenditure in this country, during last year, of $1,451,633,379. This is an average of $62.16 for each drinker, or for every man, woman, and child in the country, of over twenty dollars. This amount is appalling, and indicates a degree of crime and vice that is terrible to contemplate.
Every lover of temperance will want to do all he can to stay this increasing tide of woe. He will put forth his best endeavor to enlighten those who are held in bonds and set them free. Among the different means that may be used for this purpose is the use of the paper Save the Boys, published by Elder H. F. Phelps, 118 West Minnehaha Boul., Minneapolis, Minn. Its special mission is to safeguard the young against the twin evils of tobacco and intoxicating liquors.
Brother Phelps has made the journey of life almost to its close. He sees the snares and pitfalls along the road. He knows that liquor and tobacco are to-day sapping the moral, intellectual, and physical strength from the rising generation, and is earnestly endeavoring to place in the hands of the youth information well calculated to turn them from these terrible evils.
Our workers and members would find in the pages of Save the Boys matter which would be helpful to those into whose hands it might be placed. Write to him for copies, and distribute the papers wherever they would be helpful. Single subscriptions, 30 cents a year. A. G. DANIELLS.
