SOLUTION OF THE LIQUOR PROBLEM

There are lot of fellows we know who would
do well to read and absorb the following clipping:
'If you are a married man and absolutely must
drink, start a saloon in your own home. Be the
only customer and you won't have to buy license.
Give your wife two dollars to buy gallon of whis-
key. Remember there are SO glasses in a gallon.
Buy your drink only from your wife When the
first gallon is gone she will have eight dollars to
deposit in the bank and two to start business again.
If you should live ten years, continue to buy booze
from her and then die with snakes in your shoes,
she will have enough money to bury you respect
ably, bring up your children, buy house and lot
and marry decent man and forget all about you. }"

Their story was an oft-repeated

on the east side Of Main at
Seventh avenue more orderly one

gallons Of gasoline at the new
Purol station. After all these
cars have been served and all the
places they have vacated from
Seventh to the courthouse have
been filled by other cars, hear the
signal for them to line up for
five gallons or more and see all
these within the six blocks served.
Then you will have the real pic

story of Purol was re-told with a
few water glasses added to give
the story a new flavor. Merchants

You will recall the story told
recently Of a man who appeared
at my front door with five pre-
scriptions for his two sick young
sters and begged me to have them
filled for him. promising me to
return and work out the price
which he never did.
Well, the other day that same
man went into the little shop OF
"a blind man and began to act up.
Eventually he started in to abuse
and modest the blind man. Though
the blind man could not see, he
could feel. He felt for his assail-
ant, got hold of him, moved him
down, and so mussed him up that
he had to be taken to hospital.

sometimes works fast.
