while the groom sustained his reputation

Two fruit and confectionery dealers
were talking in a crowd this week when
one Of them remarked: This prohibition
business has injured my business" How
is that p asked several in concert well
you see when barrooms were here, there
was good deal of drunkenness, and when
a man is drunk he instinctively wants to
eat something, and sold two bags of
parched COOLERS then to where l sell one
now. A drunken man will buy COOLERS,
apples, bananas, lemons, &c, when drinks
ing, but when sober he don't care for
them" The other fruit dealer confirmed
this remark as being true. This was a
compliment to prohibition and sobriety
Evidently prohibition prohibits.
