WHEN PROHIBITION COMES.

START YOUR OWN PUBLIC HOUSE

The Illinois Steel Company has suggested the following > plan for t heir employees : —

For the married man who cannot get along without drinks, the. following is suggested as a means of freedom from bondage to saloons :

Start a saloon in your own home. Be the only customer (you'll have no license to pay). Go to your wife and give her two dollars to buy a" gallon of whisky, and remember there are sixtynine drinks in . a gallon, Buy .your drinks from nti one but your wife, and by the time the first gallon is gone she will have eight dollars to put into the Bank and two dollars to start business again. Should you live ten years and continue to buy booze from her, and then die with snakes in your boots, she will have enough money to bury you decently, educate your children, buy a house and lot, marry a decent man, and quit thinking about you entirely.
