What About CRIlIEi

Surely the effect Of what call prohibition the schools

testify, that the bootleg whisky is brought THERE
Fortunately the church is still free from any harmful
effects Of prohibition.
There have been Of late religious discussions

nothing TO do with that.

And what about CRIME? That interests THE HOME, THE

Does any woman doubt that crime in rampant as
IL has been in this country? Does intelligent human

FOLDING THE

You do not fold the napkin
when you are having only one

not to be used again. However, II
you notice that your hostess folds
hers, you follow suit. You fold
the napkin when you are visit
