OUR VEAL TIL
AND WASTE
Statistics That Show a Great
Waste Of Money Spent
III MorriStown.
LIQUOR TRAFFIC RESPONSIBLE

MoRR1sTowN, NJ. :, Oct. rs, 1905.
DEAR EDITOR
From time to time some OF our mer-
chants complain Of dull business and
wonder why they are not better pat
rOnized. a partial solution Of the
problem lies ia the fact that there is
a great waste or leakage going on.
Some time ago the MorristoWn Prohi-
bition Alliance appointed a committee
to look into the matter, and as a re-
suit OF their efforts, the facts given be-
low were elicited. and will be reported
at the comiDg regular meeting of the
Alliance.
That the Liquor Traffic, whether
due to thesnatural peryersity of naan-
kind or as social necessity, Is an
.economrifailure in our own town may
easily be proven. 1t will also be seen
from the following figures that in one
year more money was spent i'm the
consumption Of liquor that it cost to
sustain all our public schools and
churches combined, and enoughwould
be left over to maintain our mission,
hospitals and In fact AID of our chari-
table institutions.

find food for reflection in this report,

man spoke as II he We're asking, not

car was crowded.
Underneath the tam the young man
discovered whole new world of
charms, which interested him quite as
much as America did Columbus. But
the girl had an advantage over Amer
lea in being able to look back at her
discoverer out of two very wide open
eyes.
THANK YOU" she said to Columbus.
Then she looked down and her eyes
rested on the mans gloved hand, which
only partly covered the ivory handle
of an umbrella. He remembered the

color rising in the girls cheek.
She did not answer, but her eyes
were bent lovingly on the umbrella

had given her when she was sixteen,
and she had worn out four silk covers
on 1t. She was glad the man did not
insist on an immediate answer. What
must he think of her? After a minute

memory did not like to be tested.

turned to go.
