HEALTH OFFICER PRATTS
HAS A RIGHT TO Be HAPPY

Old time labor men know Joseph
Pratts. at one time an active member
of the local Cigarmakers' union and
now connected with the city health
department. When they observed
Joe" strutting down Superior street
the other morning like "four-year-
DID, with his head held high and
a smile on his countenance that
beained with the radiance Of the
morning sun, they wanted to know
what had happened.
Joe" had a right to do ANYTHING
he wanted that morning and he had
good reason for being sprightly and
gay, for while Mr.. and Mrs. Pratts
have enjoyed many years together as
husband and wife. and pals. their
household had never been blessed
with the joy of little one.
1T is boy.'' shouted Joe" to his
co-workers at the health office, and
every one of them became as happy
as the proud daddy. Now no one
wonders why Joe" Pratts goes gayly
about his work. And does anyone
blame him? Congratulations from
The Labor World to Mr.. and Mrs.
Pratts. 1t is our hope that Joseph
II, will live to be president of the
United States.

denouncing the one big union among
workers while they favored the idea
themselves.
