to-day This makes the third Sunday
that the law has been enforced in this
city. There appears 20 be little or no dis
content. The majority Of those who for
merly did their buying on Sunday have
already fallen into line, and they man
age 10 make their purchases before mid
night Saturdays. IN view OF the fac; that
the druggists and others who formerly
remained open on Sundays. and did what
was supposed 10 have been a thriving
business. have made no effort 70 fight the
law. the presumption is that they are
satisfied.
