He is ihe doctor who must learn by ex­ perience the things that are best for his physical well­ being, as well as lik moral one. If he finds out that certain articles of food or drink interfere with his phys­ ical well being, it is his duty as a man to abstain from them. Should he find that one, two or three glasses of beer incapacitate his mind or body from performing their proper functions in the rigiit manner, it is his du­ ty to stop at the point where they do so, and no request or desire for further indulgence should be allowed to sway him from what he knows to be right. That is the dividing line between temperence and foolishness— the line on which so many men split because they are not the masters of their own destiny. It Is not the fault of the drink or of their own companions, but simply their own lack of personal control. Creatures of im­ pulse, lacking the best makings of manhood, they go on their way through life succumbing to every tempta­ tion that confronts them, making of themselves drunk­ ards and then probably something worse, and when the penalty for their sin confronts them, endeavor to gain sympathy by laying the blame on an influence which they assert they could not combat.
