Mr.. BUSINESS MAN, ARE YOU

/ A few years ago, every business
man or firm was a sort of rule and
guide unto himself. Then the schools
were run according to the crude
ideas of what often proved to be a
crude teacher. Then a young man
went to a medical college and spent
four or five months and came back
and went to dosing out medicine, but
things are different now. A man
must know more about ANYTHING he
undertakes unless he expects failure
SO 1t is that the questions are asked
care you Mr.. Business Man, irving
to keep abreast of the times by read
conduct your business along modern
lines?"

Kramer Promises Quick
End to Liquor Liberty

Cities which have taken advan-

agents to return to the pre-vol-

The prohibition commissioner an
nounced yesterday that he will con-
fer with Capt. Bliss. in charge Of
prohibition field work. with a view
to conducting intensive campaigns
in these cities just as soon as the
emergency appropriation is availa.
BILE. Chicago and Philadelphia have
been the chief offenders, he said.
While the agents laid of were
in no sense discharged, Commits
sioner Kramer pointed out, 1t Is
possible that the emergency appro-
priation will not cover the expense
of reinstating all OF them. In that
event the records will be carefully
scrutinized and those men who have
proved most efficient in the past
will be retained, he said.
