Another bird wrote to this
doctor and asked him whether he
should wear black or brown shoes
in bed.
He also wanted to know If It
was proper to carry cane while
he was sleeping.
Very few men know it, but it's
extremely vulgar to take your

No gentleman would ever go to

OF course, nobody would see

One guy said he always dressed

PUSSYFOOT NOW IN
ATTEMPT TO DRY AFRICA

Cape Town, Sept. William E..
"Pussyfoot" johnson concluded his
tour of the wine-farming district with
great meetings at Cape Town. He
addressed a crowded colored audience
one night and was received with
bands. banners and choirs. He en-
phasized the boon that prohibition
had been to the colored race of Amer
lea, encouraging as 1t had, thrift and
regular working habits.
A colored speaker named Baron
was enthusiastically. applauded when
he said that if the colored people had
their way, they would have prohibi-
tion in South Africa tomorrow. One
day they would push the Europeans
into prohibition. At the final meet
ing in Cape Town, the chairman stat
ed that South Africa was ready for
prohibition. The immediate object,
however, was to put the plan of local
option into operation. With a little
more pressure on members of Parlia-
ment, he expected this would be done.
Mr.. johnson said that he had never
had more orderly meeting in his
life, and he now knew what South
African welcome meant.
