BOOZE AND BUSINESS.

J IF anybody can be supposed to have
Intimate knowledge of the physical
and psychological select of alcohol in
tthe 0humanu SYSTEM the bartender is
ithe man" rsaysD the New York Tri-
'bune, "Hezhas more practical exper-
fence without every day and night
than even the magistrate who SEN
fences the drunk and disorderly' pris-
oner. or physicians in the hospitals TO
which they are sometimes committed.
' Ii Is distinctly interesting, therefore,
to find the secretary of barkeepers'
union in Chicago appearing as a
temperance advocate and organizer OF
the 'Bartenders' Temperance Club.
He SUNS up his arguments in these
words: THE boss won't like 1t il
you drink on the job. A guy can't
tend bar and hit the booze and make
good. 1t gets him just as quick as II
does the guy in front who pays for IT..
If anyone wants to drink, lei the man
on the other side do it,"
That is a warning ex-cathedra, in
simple and eloquent phrase. The bar
tender ranges himself, as a ten uor-
ance advocate, side by side; with the
presidents and superintendent OF
railroads who forbid their employees
ito take drink within working hours
and prefer to employ abstainers only.
More and more it is coming to be the
opinion that a guy cant hit the booze
and make good whether as bartender,
engineer, clerk or professional man.
