Intemperance and Poverty

Poverty and Its Chief Cause, Intemperance.—The American Issue quotes the Commissioner of Public Health of the city of Buffalo as saying, "Forty per cent of Buffalo's children are hungry." The Issue declares that if the amount that the liquor dealers pay for licenses were expended for flour it would buy 200,000 barrels, or 60,270,000 loaves of bread. The greatest need among the children is found, as always, where the greatest number of saloons exist.
