During the three years 1922-23-24 —there were 22,115 arrests for drunkenness, every one of them was a drug addict, an unfortunate victim to a body and soul destroying drug. The Traffic is making NEW drunkards every day. THE DOPE TRAFFIC The Liquor Traffic does not confine itself to peddling the dope called alcohol.
