Employers Demanding Sober Men

review of the activities of the Ant-Saloon
League forces for the past year shows that the senti
ment in the country against the saloon is constantly
mounting higher One of the important and significant
tendencies of the times is the attitude of employers of
labor toward the saloon. Wherever an employers
liability law has been enacted, it has brought about
more thorough study of the cause of accidents and
this study has almost invariably placed large per-
centage of the responsibility upon alcohol Typical of

CONFESSIONS OF A Wife


Mollie. When l got back l found
the chair and papers all put back
in place.
Dick, your mother isn't a
good housekeepr because she sac
rifices everything to the fetish
of orderliness. Her meals may
be badly cooked (they always
are). but every person in the
house must be promptly on time
to eat them. She does not go
ahead and serve her meal, but
ostentatiously waits for the miss
ing one and makes everybody else
miserable while doing It,"
Am l to understand from
that" inquired Dick, with a grin,
that IL | am not home to dinner
on time you will eat without
me?"
Dinner will be served at half
past O'Clock in this apartment.
We will wait ten minutes for any
one missing, and then those who
are present will proceed to eat.
"Of course IL you are going to
be late and will telephone, that
will be a very differnet matter.
II guess you're right. Margie.
It used to make me very nervous
and irritable when thought
mother was Tuning and waiting
for me when | was detained at

There will always be enough
to eat, even IL you do miss din
ner, dear"

NO" I answered, hesitatingly,

BY IDAH M'GLONE GIBSON.
There is a psychological influ-
ence in our physical appearance
that adds or detraets much to
and from our power of pleasing.
DO not think there Is ono
thing which is SO essential to the
feminine appeal as absolute
cleanliness OF mind and body.
A bath each morning is a ne
cessity IL one wishes TO be clean
and a cleansing out of all the
sordid. worrying and angry
thoughts of the day is just as es-
sential IL one wants to purify
ones personality.
Don't think for one moment.

On the other hand Il Is quite as
necessary that YOU are not too

best time possible and sdll walk
within the bounds of propriety.
Men talk of innocence, ent they
mean purity. Innocence means
only lack of knowledge and IL
stamps the face with lack of ex-
preston. When the color and soft
plastic curves have gone from a
face of this kind it's expression OF
vapid ignorance fails to even in
terest.
Have a great appreciation for
the effect of cleanliness of body
upon the purity of mind. Take a
bath, dress yourself in clean,
sweet-smelling clothes and even
il you have been out of joint
with the world you will find that
your physical comfort has helped
to make you of eontented mind.
