ought TO be permitted TO buy beer for Its par

But look the other considerations In the practical an

Surely. my dear Mr. Andrews, gentleman ana pro

charges against for selling to minors can
tell which place bad and which respectable We
have take them they We should prefer tax

thus guilty OF continuing the giant evil neither those
accused nor you should complain Mr. woodman has
