He has secured agents of the board in 22 counties and in the 19 other counties has been unable to secure agents.

A casual patron of a restaurant in upper Amersterlam Avenue passed his check and a ?ve-dollar bill over the cashier's desk the other night and appeared to be in a hurry for his change. When he noted the approach of the waiter who had served him, his time appeared to be even more precious. He grabbed his change ! without counting it and started for the door. The-waiter got to the door first, and laying a hand on one of the pa? tron's overcoat, said coolly. "If you want to take that away with you you'll have to pay for it, Sir." "Pay for what.'" "You'll have to pay for that bot? tle of Worcestershire sauce you took from my table. The man sheepishly pulled out the bottle, handed it to the waiter with the remark that he "guessed* he'd leave it," and departed as quickly as possible. The restaurant manager, who had been hovering in the near offing, had watched the incident with subdued wrath in his eye. "It's a matter for wonder how some people take to that form of stimulant," he remarked. "It seems to be the only form of booze that will work up a warm glow on them. Thejr're pretty far gone when they get as bad as that. "It's a funny thing, too," he added, "that these chaps would rather steal it than buy it. Worcestershire sauce isn't so awfully expensive. That fel? low, now, had a plenty of money to pay for a bottle of the stuff if he wanted it that badly, but from my ex? perience as a restaurant man in charge of' medium-priced places, I find that it is impossible to keep Wor? cestershire sauce of any kind on the tables." "Do you mean to say that there are people who are in the habit of drink? ing Worcestershire sauce?" was ask? ed. "I certainly do," he said. "There are men and even women in New York who have consumed so much liquor that the linings of their stom? achs have been affected. An ordi? nary drink of whiskey or brandy doesn't satisfy their craving for the warmth of feeling that the chronic drinker desires. This Worcestershire sauce seems to bit the spot. I believe it contains a percentage of alcohol and the condiments in it do the rest. The habit isn't confined to New York, either. Restaurant men all over the United States and Canada will tell you the same thing."
