Notice that his first thought after cruelty to his fellow servants is to satisfy his appetite "to drink with the drunken." Cruelty, mismanagement, unfaithfulness are tied up without question with drinking. Is it not so today? If you doubt it, read your daily newspaper. Why trifle with anything which keeps such evil company? You may find yourself mixed up with them beyond your ability to get free. The final result is the loss of his position and of his life. Who will j deny that this aptly states the end | of the drunkard's way. But someone says: "I do not intend to be a drunkard. I only take a social drink." That is the way the-drunkard started.

It Means: All long distance telephone lines to the place you are calling are overcrowded with urgent war business. Under such conditions, if your call isn't extremely urgent, it will help a lot if you will tell the operator to cancel your call, so as to avoid still further crowding of the lines. I If your call is important, but you can wait until some other time to talk, then tell the operator to cancel the call, and try again when you find the lines are less crowded. The deeper we get into this war, the greater the demand for more and more long distance telephone service for war agencies. Their calls must go over the same lines that civilians use. So jn order to give all aid possible to those who are responsible for the successful carrying on of this warr we are asking civilians to make only the most necessary long distance telephone calls, and to be brief on all calls. May we count on your cooperation? SlITIEM BEllTELEPHOIIE BOD TELEGRAPH COfBPBBI INOORpaiAltD - \ " -,'i '' 1 i'<ii . * v - ? I ESSENTIAL ATTENTION FOR t I ESSENTIAL DRIVING!
