Temperance talk at North Texas Normal urges longevity from abstinence
Prof. H A Ivy of Sherman Texas spoke to North Texas Normal students on increased longevity due to abstaining from alcoholic beverages. He argued a 20 year old non drinker may live 13 years longer than a moderate drinker, cited insurance data, and urged students to support a school based anti alcohol message. He noted women show better judgment and warned Susanna Jones would face higher widow risk marrying a drinker. Ivy repeated themes at First Christian Church Sunday school.
