q moonlight ride about the city on horseback.
Exercise Of this kind Is very healthful and also
very uleasant especially in the cool Of the evening. |
But horseback riders should not ride too rapidly
through the streets oven at night, as there Is al
ways more or less danger OF running over some

Anyone who happens to step into a downtown
restaurant about noon Will notice a large number
Of laborers dining with smut all over their face and
hands. It would he far better if the restaurant
keepers would provide some convenient lavatories

wash before eating. 1t is probable that any of the
restaurants generally patronized by working men
would secure \ larger patronage from all classes of
boarders if Proprietors would provide a ~lavatory.
