WATERBURY EVENING - DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 7 19013 OH! f ' : - . . ISN'T IT DEPLORABLE f To see 'how our city and state Sun day laws are being .ignored! Just think of it! Selling the infernal "stuff'' on .Sunday that shortens men's lives by inches. Well, we hate like 40 to see anyone fined $20 and costs.

We sell tea and coffee wnicli is. really the best drink for man, woman or child: they never Intoxicate, but always give you a good feeliu;:,' make you brighter and. moreover, add many years to your life: that's the kind of beverage people should drink. Say, if there was no bpvera.se stronger than tea and coffee consumed, wo wouldn't see six or eight new "cops" added ever year to -our already larpre police force. There would be no hollering1 lor a patrol wagon, and Oh, iow much more happiness, joy and prosperity, which does not exist at present,, would be at the fireside.
