lamentable as the many blotches on virtue which it has pro- 

 duced in our industrial civilization. A certain firm on one 

 Saturday evening paid out to its workingmen four hundred 

 marked ten-dollar bills. The following Monday one hun- 

 dred of these marked ten-dollar bills were deposited in the 

 city banks by different saloon keepers of the place. When 

 one remembers how many shoes, how many dresses, how 

 many pieces of nutritious meat, how many little toys for 

 playful children, how much happiness, in short, for innu- 

 merable homes might have been purchased with these one 

 hundred marked ten-dollar bills which found their way into 

 the saloons, one need not be told further about the lament- 

 able physiological and moral effects. A mighty step in the 

 right direction will have been made when every young per- 

 son fully realizes that by avoiding the demon of drink the 

 chances are greater that he will always have an abundance 

 of good friends, that he will be able to enjoy what is best 

 in life, that he will be a helpful member of his community 

 and that he will always have a dollar in his pocket with 

 which to buy bread for himself and his own.
