Big business has taken stand
against the man who drinks This
not because of any particular interest
In the effects of alcohol on mind and
body, scientifically considered, but be-

more trustworthy employee. Returns
from employers of 10000 men show
that they forbid alcoholic liquors in
their Industrial plants. A large cor
poration recently discharged 30 en-

liquor license. Another concern dis
charged 6S men, and accompanying
each dismissal notice was kodak

kaiser: Il was certain of crushing the

that his stout customers and his very
thin customers often were sensitive as

mirror for self-inspectlon, and was able
