ANOTHER BLOW FOR ALCOHOL.

Employees of the Anaconda Mining
company have been given this warn
ing in a bulletin posted by the COM
pany:
Never go to work after drinking
liquor, and If you must drink, stay
home. Experience has proved that q
great many accidents are caused from
drinking intoxicating liquors. 1t will
be remembered that from September
l, 1914, to September IA, all saloons
In Butte were closed; that from Sep
TENDER IA to September "a they were
open only from O'clock in the morn
Ing to z o'clock at night, and that for
the remainder of the month they were
open only from o'clock in the morn

The ventilating system is taken on
