Saloons Have But Forty-Three More Days To Operate.

By eliminating fuelless Mondays, Sundays and national holidays, the calendar shows that the saloon owners in Indiana have but forty-throe more days left in which to conduct the sale of liquors, if the law enacted by the last general assembly is held to be constitutional, and the saloons are compelled to obey its mandate by closing their doors on April 2. The month of February will be the hardest month in the year on the purveyors of snake bite antidote. There are only 28 days in the month and of these only 18 are open for thirst parlors, there being four Sundays, four fireless Mondays and two holidays, Lincoln’s birthday on the twelfth and Washington’s birthday on the twenty-second.
