liquor and plenty of it. Will the use o
liquor prolong lite? Will it help one t.
get work responsible position any
where Will it help us to think, to study
to plan or to carry out any plan for goot
work or for the good of our fellow men
Men who frequ Mt saloons spend money
and time needed in the home and wive!

sequence. Will a saloon help men to fine
good paying work - work on our rail
