ALCOHOL AS A BEVERAGE 



149 



The bottle itself is three inches high and an inch and a 

 quarter across. It has a cork stopper, and the stopper has a 

 bone top to it. A glass tube goes through the stopper, down 

 into the contents of the bottle. A 

 rubber tube stretches up from the top 

 of the stopper. On the end of the 

 tube is a bone mouthpiece through 

 which the liquid in the bottle may 

 be sucked up. 



The whole combination was packed 

 in a small box which it fitted exactly, 

 and on the box was a card which gave 

 the name and address of the saloon 

 from which it came. 



This bottle had passed from hand 

 to hand and from mouth to mouth 

 until the teacher found it. At that 

 time it was half full of whisky. And 

 what was the object of the bottle 

 and its whisky? The following bit 

 of history answers the question. 



Several years ago the State Liquor 

 Dealers of Ohio were gathered in 

 Wirthwein Hall, Columbus, and one 

 of the speakers had for his subject 

 '"' How to Build up the Saloon Busi- 

 ness." Among other things he said : 

 "The success of our business is de- 

 pendent largely upon the creation of appetite for drink. Men 

 who drink liquor, like others, will die, and if there is no appe- 

 tite created, our counters will be empty, as will be our coffers. 

 Our children will go hungry, or we must change our business
