dressed TO the President or the United
states is Just about as active as ty-
ing "Do Not open Until Christmas"
tag to a peanut and handing It to an
average park squirrel.
Yet about half the people who write
letters to Woodrow Wilson put 'Prr-
sonar or strictly Confidential" on the
envelope. in the belief that no one but
the writer and the President will ever
know what is inside
Other writer's enclose letters to the
President in an envelope Addressed 10
Secretary Tumulty and explain to Mr..
Tumulty that tho letter is about some
thing that the President wouldn't want
a living soul to know about.
Still other writer's send letters in care
~ one OF the Presidents daughters,
the idea being that the President will
then find the letters on his plate at the
breakfast table without any OF the sec
retaries having a chance to null them
over.
As matter OF fact none of these
schemes works. Letters that 90 through
the usual channel, personal" letters and
others, are all opened by Ira Smith,

Milk Habit Grows in Illinois Steel Works

The press, especially the ant-saoon press, has
given wide publicity the action of the Illinois Steel
Company in establishing milk stations in different
parts of its big South Works plant, which extends
from 10Th Street to 02nd Street in South Chicago.
1t is gratifying to learn that the milk habit is
growing. The number Of stations has increased to
twenty and the orders reach 1900 points" Of
milk day-a point being either pint quart put
up in glass bottle.
The effect of the milk habit upon the beer habit
may be judged from the fact that since the milk route
was established many saloons in the immediate neigh
borhood of South Works have gone out of business
fourteen having closed down during the last six
months
In other ways too the growth of temperance SEN
tment is noticeable. The boys the plant used
to play ball with key of beer the stake-now they
play for the pure love of the sport and find it
enjoyable than formerly. Many of the men formerly
boosted of the size of their bar bills. One would say
"My bar bill last month came to $780," Another
