 FELLOW-CITIZEN 
 
 The report of the Royal Commission states that Canada spends, on an 
 average, over $40,000,000 yearly for strong drink. 
 
 A great part of this vast sum is paid by people who are in need of food, 
 and fuel, and clothing, and furniture, and all the necessities and luxuries that 
 work produces. 
 
 Families in poverty because of drink, have to be supported ^y the charity 
 and the heavy taxation of those who are better off. We all suffer. We have to 
 do without what we would buy if this terrible waste did not keep us so poor. 
 
 All this means less work for shops, and factories, and farms, and men. 
 It the liquor traffic is abolished, there must come more work, stronger prices, 
 higher wages, greater comfort, better times. 
 
 To-day you are kept poor to make the brewer and distiller and saloon- 
 keeper rich. If we stop this waste, you will get a share of the money that is 
 saved. 
 
 THINK IT OUT!
