A QUEER TOTAL ABSTINENCE society:

THE “Bartenders’ and Saloonkeepers’ Total Abstinence Society” is the name of a new organization, branches of which are being formed in ditlcrent cities, in Jersey. City it is expected that nearly all tlie 1800 members of the Jersey, City Bocal Barkeepers’ Union will join tho new Society. The objects of the Society are;— “To promote temperate habits among bartenders; to set a good example to customers; to protect tho cash register and the stock, and to elevate DOUG AN, OF THE ORGANIZATION, SAYS THAT SALOON KEEPERS AND BARTENDERS MUST BE ABSTAINERS BEBEHIND THE BAR DRINKS WITH ONE MAN HE MUST DRINK WITH ALL,” SAID HE. “HE MUST BE EITHER A TOTAL ABSTAINER OR ULTIMATELY BECOME A DRUNKARD:” , , Tho Association claims to show that fully one-third of the bartenders and saloon owners of Chicago are total abstainers.

How would an advertisement- like this look? “‘Wanted, a barber who never has bad his hair cut. Apnly at the barber shop on the corner,’ or this—- “ ‘Wanted, a salesman in a shoe store. He must go barefoot while on duty. Apply at Blank’s shoe shore.’ “What other business finds it necessary or desirable to advertise for holn oledved to make no use of the floods *nld? Can it bo Hint, the Linuor Traffic finds that it lias wrought no great demoralization among its followers that it is forced to draw upon temperance, or total, abstinence fanaHos in order to continue its business?”—New Voice.
