"SUBMARINE ATTACK ON BOOZE."

The Ben Franklin Mutual Casualty Insurance Company, in sending out advertising matter from its offices in Chicago, includes a copy of Safety Bulletin No. 5 of the Illinois Steel Company, which, under the above caption, reads as follows : “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). (io to your wife and give her two dollars ;o buy a gallon of whisky, and remember there are sixty-nine drinks in a gallon. Buy your drinks from no one but your wife, and by the time that 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 hoots, she will have enough money to bury you decently, educate your children, buy a house and lot, and carry a decent man, and quit thinking about you entirely. “Note. —Most compensation laws specifically provide that no compensation shall be paid to any employee who is injured while under the'in.'uence of intoxicants.’’
