 But under the proposed S-hour law you would be unable to get the medi- cine for her after closing hours (like you can now). Should one of the clerks wake up and serve you, he would then be a law-breaker and his employer would be arrested and fined.
 What will we do? Let the wife or the motherin.law die for the sake of this S-hour hobby man in the legisla- ture?
 We should worry
 Send your wife, also your motherin- law, to the WHITE LUNCH where their health win be protected.
 We are living up to the sanitary laws passed by the legislature of ;he Territory, Our S.hour hobby man here hasn't got around to those important laws yet, but have patience. He will before he leaves us.

however, AMI is around on clutches

which AMI broke was his wood leg.
AMI counted up tother day and he says
this is the leventh wood leg he has
broke sinst the war and unless he has
better luck with his wood legs hereaf-
ter he guesses he'll ask the Culver
