This noon I noticed a queer box

Nothing is better from the cuItur.
standpoint than intelligent curlosit,
Justifytng myself by this though

tho beneht OF tho episode.
In this plant several hundred me

The milkman makes his round 4

milk and some Of them had eyei
been known TO drink a glass OF bee
instead?
To meet this situation a milk com

fastened with hasp and lock.
Tho box 10 set on four ordinary

iron handles at two ends.
In tho morning tho milkman turns
the box over. drains out the water

and moves on.
The milk can be paid for with
tickets or with cash.
When time to drink II comes
around 1t is cold. clean and palat-
able.
No form of box which opens at the

Tho top. In addition. the cost OF con-

Or to maintain.
Why would not this be good rou-

The workmen. especially in build

ABILITIES for satisfactory lunching.
Milk is left in such places In large
Quantities. BY lunch time 1t is often

In part, for that reason. the loss

Would 1t not pay the companies to

thoughts Of gloom and sudden death
re with me always. Up to the time
quit drinking people often asked
10 why did 1t. I didn't know then.
ut I know now. It was to escape
he gloomy thoughts and fears for
ust a few hours.
'sDoes this condition accompany
cart trouble?
"Is there anything besides whisky

REPLY.
print this letter not to tell you
here you can get booze or some-
hing Just as good, but because other |
eople ought to know why they
rink.
As you say: ut is to escape the
loomy thoughts and fears for just
few hours"
We can never succeed in running
way from anything. If we escape
,r the moment, we always run into
worse In the end.
The only way n to buck up and
ice it, whatever It is.
Stop Using Tobacco.
