I hear it here and there, Listen girls, it takes more than technique to get a man these days. It goes farther than that.

A, Thornton ~ALCOHOL AND OLD AGE~ Alcohol is as habit-forming as crugs and is found in many because of its stimulating effect. With the exception of those that | develop the habit very late in) life. very few alcohol addicts reach the advanced age. Life is) shortened in these chronic -cas 2s wither through accidents or) exposure to infections, ~ The habit of drinking is s easily started from cocktail hours, parties, or after a tiring day. When the average person reaches a certain age he begins to feel weary the mind and body is tired, not like youth which has lots.of excess energy. Finding that alcohol stimulates him, he begins to have a drink in the afternoon, another at night, the later the habit of a night tardy is formed. In the morning another drink is needed for | R. G. and that young lady on ~a prime. As this goes 6n the| meed of alcohol is increased and the body becomes immune the desired effect, Eventually too much is consumed for the system and the crisis. occur. The result is a physical breakdown or moral degeneration,. ~ If a person has sufficient insight he will stop drinking be are more ways of relief from than alcohol, He should iry relaxation, outdoor life, It is really an intelligent person that knows himself well enough to know his limitations, There is nothing that can be done for an alcohol addict unless he admits defeat and is willing to cooperate wiih those who are trying to help him. Shock has brought many a person from the alcohol habit. Realization of financial difficulties has done the same, In case of a cure, a hobby is nice to help one keep busy after a day~s work because one iS. under a. nervous strain after being geared too high, Some addicts have stopped in advanced~ age because of religion. Religion reStores faith and gives them an emcetional release or escape, Violence or other infringement is so often displayed while under -the influence of alcohol when otherwise things would not have happened such as fights, quarrels, etc. These are ary insanity. Failure, sorrow, loneliness (aS in women after loss of a loved one) starts the habit. of. drinking; Usually some emotional imbalance is the geneval cause of starting the hab-- it, RESULTS: There is a _ nutritional deficiency, loss of appetite, less of memory, mental deterioration, death from cirrhosis of the liver, ete. There are Aures, no matter the ane. Eas pessn should be studied individually. All addicts are psychopaths, psychoneurotics, and in most chronic cases a psychiatrist should be consulted, Just a little help is needed to help these patients read-:just their lives and enable them to enjoy a normal life on its own terms.
