Business Mems Booze.

Is it true that there is less drinking
by business men than there used to be
the habit! Here Is q bit Of evidence:
The entire liquor bill of all the lunch
ers and diners at the Advertising club
of New York for recent month was
$50, There were something like 1000
regular meals served in the clubrooms
during those 26 working days, not reck-
oning the dinner parties This makes
the average bill for booze not over
eight tenths of cent per person per
meal In other words, not over one
diner in 40 took a drink with his meal.
We find these figures recorded in a re-
cent issue Of n New York advertising
iournal-not a professional organ of
tcmperance-we pass them on to the
young men of other cities, who can be
trusted to draw their own conclusions
