Its positive side rests In the fact that for every month a man keeps his envelope clear five demerits are taken from the black side of his envelope. A train- man might have forty-five demerits against him, be on the narrow edge of discharge, and in eleven months, after turning the new leaf, have as clean a sheet-as the best man on the division.
