to booze is no good 10y getting RID
OF your saloon o. Gale or buffet

iill the ranks with better men-men
whose Id Gals rise above the so-called
pleasures OF the -befuddled ana
Denumbed brain and body. Booze has
no place in the lodge room. There
the higher, the uplifting, the benen'
cial things OF life merit our attention
and all our efforts should be against
the degrading and demorahzlng
things, and liquor is one OF these. a
lodge has no business being IN inc
saloon business. and | want to con
graduate you for getting out OF It,.
