Whiskey drinking, cigarette smok
Ing. the tobacco habit in every form

that would destroy the vitality of

are living at too fast a pace to de
stroY our vitality with rum, and O
Fcourse this is known by the bust
ness man he has long since learned
the lesson of right living and de
mands it from those he furnishes
with employment, because i'm a
large measure no man lives to him
self and we all, more or less are de-
pendent On one another, in sense our
brothers keeper. and we should
therefore be vitally interested in
each other.
By the time the youth of today
takes the places of the adults of to-
day we verify believe that man who
uses cigarettes and whiskey will not
be able to get responsible position
in the business world, because each
year the varied businesses naturally
demand more skilled men, more eff

slbte through temperate living.
WHY BUSINESS MEN DEMAND
ABSTINENCE ON THE PART OF
THEIR EMPLOYEES.
tBy Montrose Ballard, 7th Grade South Main
Street SchooD
When one man employs another
In any capacity whatever, his first
thought is efficiency because every
one wants the maximum amount of
work for the least amount expended
and it is we'll known fact that one
addicted to intoxicantS is usually
unfit for any position re-
quiring an active brain and steady
nerve. ,
Medical experts have proved be-
you'd a doubt that i1toxicants dull |
the brain, make the nerves unsteady,
quicken the heart action, thus over
working that important organ, and
affect the eyesishtssoften causing
total blindness.
An employer demands abstinence
on the part of his employees because !,
ne wants mea whom he can trust.
nen who viii do their best to, carry
,ut his wishes, without having to
1ave someone to stand over them
With goad-stick.
They want sober men because
hey want honest men, who would
teal neither their time nor money, I
f they had the opportunity, and it
s only among men of imtemperate
labits that theving and dishonesty
ire found.
Neither do business men want
employees who smoke. A visit to
my manufacturing plant will prove

rect the eye is a sign which reads,
Notice-No Smoking Allowed.

anger to their buildings, from the
latch carelessly thrown aside after
