"No Smoking" Sign Needed.

The paint dealer was measuring out
a quart of naphtha for customer,
and was giving the usual admonition
against using the stun near a fire or
light. Being a rather laxative man,
he descanted at length upon the
dangers Of such explosive fluids, and
related two or three instances Of hor-
rible accidents due to them. The GUS
toner promised to be very careful,
and then, when the paint man straight
ened ND from his STOPPING posture, the
open bottle before him and the I'M
corked jug still in his hand, both no
ticed that he was smoking!
The customer smiled, though rather
alarmed, nevertheless, and the paint
man exclaimed as he threw his cigar
into q far corner:
well, I'll be darned!"

When DR.. Billy James Clark, young
physician OF Moreau, Saratoga county.
New York, organized q temperance
society in the village, In 1908, the
drinking habit was much more preva-
lent than 1t is today. The one hun
dredth anniversary of DR.. Clark's soci-
ETY. was celebrated last last month In
Saratoga by an international temper
ance convention, with delegates pres
ent representing rs states as well as
half a dozen foreign countries. DIR.
Clark's society Is frequently de-
scribed as the first American temper
ance organization. The Sober society
of Allentown, N. j., however. ante
dates It by three years. Organized
temperance work on a large scale did
not begin here till 1926, when the
American Society for the Promotion
of Temperance was formed in the Park
street church in Boston. Excessive
drinking is so uncommon nowadays
that II the early temperance advocates
could come to life and see the change
they would be astounded at the prog
ress made. Men have learned by ex.
perience and observation that II they
would get on in the world they must
keen sober, and the restraint upon
them has been a powerful agent in the
promotion of temperance.
