-VI have stopped drinking In my club,"
explained Dr. Wiley.!. Not because I
am stingy. Things have come to the
stats that where six or seven meet and

right on. treating until every man pres
ent has bought something. .Pretty soon
they are all drunk. 1 i f T ',.
"If I had my way we would stop mak
ing saloon keepers pay .bugs licenses.
Why not charge -tKem a nominal fee and
regulate them? Then put the; real; tax
on the drinkers. Make every person
who wants a drink take out a license
and pay $1 a year for It. , If a person
is, seen to he drinking too- much-or his
family needs the money or be has a
weak constitution, then refuse to give
him a license. K '
"' "When a : man goes - into -a saloon,
make him present his license number
and pay 1 cent Internal revenue tax for
every drink. Hake him Write his name
on a slip of paper for evwy drink. If
it Is seen that a saloon keeper is giving
too many drinks to any one man, then
