such it was a shock. The vener

The Other Side.
A gentleman once said to ns,
4I do not favor prohibiting
the sale of liquor; it would be
tin injustice to the men in bu
siness; besides, it would throw
thourands out of 'employment.
We replied: "You do not
look at the issue from the right
side. You take a contractor's
view. .
yjnst before the war closed
a government contractor said.
in a car, tI hope the war will
not close under two years.
I will lose thousands ot dollars;
besides, many men will be
turned out of employment
from the government works.'
"A .'lady passenger, clad in
weeds o f mourning, rose to
her feet, and with tearful voice
said; .Sir, I have a brave boy
and husband sleeping the sleep
of death in the soldiers ceine
terv. I have only one boy left
and he is in front of the foe.
Oh, God? I wish the cruel war
would close now."
He saw the point. Do you?
It may be your boy or your
o-irl that will fall the next vie
tim to the drink -'industry).
Would you consider the
u trade" '-worthy of such a
price? If not, for your own
sake, and for the sake of other
fathers and mothers, stop the
