OLYMPIA, Wash, July 31.-Defini-
ton of the charge "habitual drunkard"
as it applies to divorce proceedings
has been made by the Washington SUI
preme court in the case of Grace Page
against Will Page.
ITO be a habitual drunkard," says
the court, "a person does not have to
be drunk all the time, nor necessa-
rily incapacitated from pursuing, dur
ing working hours of the day, ordinary
unskilled manual labor One is an hab-
itual drunkard in the meaning of the
divorce laws who has a fixed habit of
frequently getting drunk. 1t is not
necessary that he be constantly drunk,
nor that he have more drunken than
sober hours 1t is enough to have the
habit so firmly fixed upon him that he
becomes drunk with recurring fire.

unable to resist when the temptation
is presented"

ADVERTISING INDICATES
THAT BUSINESS is BEING
DONE

Until business is successful
without a proper store, proper
employees and the right amount
of capital, it must be assumed
, that these three conditions are
essential to the conduct of prof.
liable trade, and it is as OBJ
vious that as long as advertis-
ing accompanies the business of
profit, advertising is necessary
, for the upbuilding of business.
The mere appearance of adver-
Using indicates that business
is being done Or will be done,
and so long as everybody pre-
fers to buy of men of success
rather than of men of failure,
, just so long will the man who
, advertises be likely to do the
, largest business.
