Brown began to drink. That was a foolish thing t ".C'hS "
to do, to drink to excess. Brown knew it just as haunted
well as you do. But when drinking, Brown's trou-

ho did not think of them. Of course, he was build-

The crusade of the commissioner of

will do much to .all public attention in
Ntw York and elsewhere again to this
disagreeable and Insanitary habit. Thci

reminder csaslonaily that the practice
of spitting on pavements and about the
halls and corridors of public buildings

men every day until everybody real zes
that the law has some teeth In It His
plan la an excellent one. In a few days
he wll! have the whole city talkm*
ubcut the arrests. This will impress
upon persona who are guilty of the of-
fense through carelessness that it Is
serious enough to justify wholesale ar-
rests and fines Agitation against this
filthy habit has done a groat deal to
lessen lis prevalence, in this cltv no
one ran have failed to notice the im-

still, even on the cars and in public
