"You are drinking yourself to death," said the magistrate gravely, "Not on your life," retorted Mary Sullivan. They don't give me a chance. No sooner do I get. drunk then they put me away.

Mary Sullivan was right, and the magistrate was wrong. The so-call- eu habitual drunkard is the most healthy, and incidentally the most sober person in the community,

That is a paradox easily explain- ed. The habitual drunkarda get. drunk on very little, because they are not used to strong drink. Im- mediately they get drunk they are. arrested, and they spend weeks in prison undergoing a discipline that makes them fit in spite of them- selves.
