lar annual banquet in Minneapolis Oh

Against this commandment Dr..
Ames did most gr.evously offend, but
as TO running wide open town there

An editorial in metropolitan daily
reads in part: 1.-The curse of business
in many lines is the ineficiency OF en-
ployes in the early days of the week
by reason Of their personal drinking
habits. In Massachusetts grea,
number OF employers changed the
weekly pay day from Saturday to the
middle of the week.. 1t was done to
save men from thu mselves, ana many
OF them were grateful. A pocket con.
tanning weeks salary, combined with
day on which there is no work,
makes a bad combination for those
who are weak. The Massachu ssetts
bureau Of labor statistics reports q
change for the better since the pay
day was moved from Saturday,"
Now is the time for g. me enterprisinp
parr IT to c~ckle You can't make
man sober by pay day" True enough
you cann~t. But it is equally true
that you eau make conditions co 1du-
Give to sobriety and, incidentally be
it observed, that it is just as helpful
to keep the saloon away from the
weak and in6rm as it is to keep the
iptirm aud weak away from the sa-
loon. Wh1skey in jug hurts no
man. The time it begins to do its
damage is when IL gets inside of a
mans hide.
