gathering was held. He had plenty Of

monument, one Of the largest in the

his head and looked at the monument

Cleanliness.

One of the most important factors in
maintaining health in good order is
cleanliness. 1t is comprised in measures
that tend to keep the organs clean and
in proper order to perform all their
functions. The cleanliness of the skin
and the air (purity of the air. that we
breathe in are essential for the proper
keeping of ones health. Any impurities
that are taken in breathing find their
way to the blood, and thus serve SC
many centers Of disease and are the
cause of many infectious diseases.
Again, if the skin is not kept clean the
impurities that are to be secreted are
unduly accumulated in the blood anC
tend to give rise to severe and Otter
dangerous disorders, such as skin dis
eases and blood poisoning. New Yorl

The bill introduced by Senator Freeman
in the senate whereby the closing OF liquor
saioons throughout the State on holidays
and election days will become law, is
causing considerable commotion among
certain liquor dealers in this city. In fact,
it might be said that nearly all the liquor
dealers are more or less perturbed over the
bill A TRIBUNE reporter interviewed
several Of them concerning the matter,
and they feel that under the circumstances
which prevailed at the recent election they,
the liquor dealers, are not getting just re-
turn for the amount OF work performed In
sssisting in the electing Of the Republican
members to the General Assembly.
One particular liquor dealer said: "We
are satisfied to close up Sundays, but we
object, after paying our money for a
license, TO have to close up on those days.
! tell you 1t is not right, and somebody
has done heap of lying. They have not
lived up to their promises, and they will

drift OF talk among nearly all the liquor
dealers. Whether or not 1t Is implied that
some one entered into trade with certain
liquor dealers at the last election can be
infeYred from the above conversation.
