What Do You Think of This?

By M. C. W.

THERE is a Keeley Institute for the curing of drunkards at Dwight, Illinois. There is or was the Kentucky Distillers' Distributing Company at Kansas City, Missouri. The president of the company writes to the Keeley Institute, and says, "Our customers are your prospective patients." Then follows an offer of a "new, live, and active" mailing list of 50,000 names of whisky buyers, at the rate of from two to four cents a name. The liquor men know, and acknowledge in this letter, that their business makes drunkards, wrecks, derelicts; and at last, when they can get no more profit from their drinking, they will sell their names.
