Wages Tested at the Saloon

By Editor

A MASSACHUSETTS manufacturer, who employs 700 men in the small town where his factories are located, recently presented each man with a new $10 bill which he had previously marked for identification. The second day afterward 410 of these bills had been deposited in the various banks by saloon-keepers, and in consequence the workmen are said to have organized a temperance society. It would be a good plan in several localities to make this test on the money paid for wages, and see how much of it gets into the saloon.—Sel.
