 Look out for the style of your in quiries when yosl are looking for job Many a mans tongue deparS him from getting work.

No one really knows the force of habit until he has Srapp'ed with the habit to abate i- Habit makes a slave of man so steal.hily | that he is not aware tC what an ex- tent he has become victim unti. he undertakes to overcome tt. It is pos sible that a few men may be abie to take a glass or let it alone, but they are not the ones who affirm with gusto 1 that they lave tho power. The ones who say this are usually the ones who do not wish to let it alone, they ! are the willing victims of a powerful. 1 foe.
