Writers claim that it stimulates the imagination. If that is true, and liquor is banned, that will be a great blow' to women, for it is noticed that the women’s best asset is a man’s imagination. * * * * There arc three periods of life. The first is when we are very young, and 'we think of the indiscreet things we are able to do—that is the ago of innocence. The second is when we arc older, and wc arc able to do the things we thought of when wc were young. The third is when wc are very old, and We are looking back on the things that we were able to do when younger, and regret onr inability to recommence them. That is the age of virtue.
