When l asst him how about tn Injunckshuns he replize at tn Injunckshuns is all Rite if you know how to use 'em but at he aint in Faver of 'em as a Steddy Diet but Rather Thinks at they ort to be Took as a Medisin when theys somethin' Kong with tn Body Polly tix. Tn Injunckshun,' sed Mister Taft. 'Ortent never to become a Fixed Habit with us. We ort to always be able to Take it or Let it Alone
 "I spOse you aint got nothin' agin a Hour. Law I asts.
