Uncle Sam Against Tipping"

Washington.-Long suffering Uncle
Sam rebelled today against the tipping
system. The reform is due to the fact
that the walters in the senate restau-

because it had become impossible to find
anyone willing to operate the restaurant,
all who have had it declaring it to be a
losing venture. The senator's cannot see
how such can be the case, as double
prices for visnds are charged and the
caterer has no rent to pay.
