BRYAN ADDRESSES
ABSTAINERS' UNION
SecreUiy Sj Patriotism i No
Match for Appetite Which
Alcohol Cultiratti.
LOYALTY TO BACCHUS GREATER.
NEW YORK. Aprtl 30. Secretary
Bryan said In an address tonight un
der tha auspice, of tha National Ab
stainers' union that the European
wut bad developed that even patriot
ism in no natch for the appetite
which alcohol cultivates In its vic
tims. The secretary was urging to
tal abstinence an referred to re
strictive measures which some of the
belligerent nations .have taJiea
against intoxicants.
'There has ben R-rowlnn disposition
In this country and throughout the world
to rniphanise ths evils of stronjf drink."
I Mid. "but even the roost ntbuilntlo
sdvocat of temperano bare been sur
rrll at the rhaaUr light which the wi
in Europe haa thrown upon the subjoct.
It hai been found that patriotism, that
tompelllna- force which throughout the
if haa led men io offer their Uvea for
their country, to no match for tha appe
tite which liquor cultivates In Its vto
tlme. Loyalty to JJaochua. Oamh.lnua
and Barleycorn Is grtt than loyalty to
king, or emperor or ciar. The uaa of
dt Ink has been found to be ao destructive
or efficiency that the belligerent govern
ments, not on moral ground, but purely
on economic grounds have been compelled
to resort to restrictive measures. Ttfs
ajoplaae that drop lie bombs from
above and the submarine which shoots
Its torpedo from below are leas to b4
feared than the schooner that erosaei the
bar." . .
Baal area Men Drawla Line.
Mr. Bryan declared that drink led to
ldleneaa and that American business men
were drawing the line more strictly
against the uas of alcohol by employes.
"WhyT be asked. "Because a clear
brain and a steady nerve are required In
.very Important avenue of Industry and
alcohol befuddles the brain and paralyse,
the nerve. No employer cares to put
business in the handa of a tippler: the
man who drinks cannot aafely be ti'iisted
vith the ears of life or property.
Total abstinence." b said, "was a vir
tu 'even behind the bar,' "
Mr Bryan aald the amount spent an
nually for drink in the United mates
would build 100 macadam highways across
the contlnont and added:
"The amount now expended In paving
the road to perdition would. If spent for
od roads, soon lift the mud from the
entire country. AH 'who labor In the
cause of temperance seek to lessen the
use of Intoxicants some by persuading
people not to drink, some by urging laws
whlrh will prevent the manufacture and
ie of liquor, while still others divide
'.heir energlee between the two Unas ot
aork. i . '
Pleads for Aferttaenee,
"As for- myself, while 1 have definite
views to the mcana which should bs
Employed for solving the legislative prob
m presented by the liquor traffic. I
hull confine myself tonight to the first
I nc of argument and appeal to those
cent and to those whom I may reach
hruiiKh the press to take their position
is Individuals on the side of total ab
ittnenr-e, for whatever difference of jtpln
on may exist ae to the relative merits
jf different legislative remedies,, no one
will deny that the total abstainer, to the
xtent ot his tnfluenotv' lessens the Use of
tloohol end by so doing both reduocs evils

The Erect 'Military Carriage
Instead of the spineless droop, is one of the important
changes in the figure that fashion is heralding and a welcome
change, for how much more attractive as well as healthful it is.
Asa
Red fern Corset
will be of the greatest assistance to you in acquiring the erect
carriage, we would suggest that you corne as soon as possible,
before ordering your new gowns, for a fitting. .
REDFERN CORSETS are shaped to straighten the figure
by flattening the abdomen, throwing the chest out, and straight
ening the back line, giving such a perfect balance and poise that
an erect carriage naturally follows.
Just how this is done will be explained to you by our ex.
pert fitters, who will gladly give you every attention.
