Clasps Hands with Divorce
MORE than seven times as much alcoholic liquor was consumed in 1906 as in 1870, while divorces increased in almost exactly the same proportion. In the city of Chicago, drink is the cause of almost as many divorces as all other causes combined, or, to be explicit, forty-six per cent. Drink is playing a leading part in the wrecking of an average of one home a day in that one city. Thus one more link is formed in the long chain of evidence against this terrible curse, which leaves nothing but disgrace and degradation in its wake. ALCOHOL IS THE WORST ENEMY OF THE HOME.
