OTTAWA. July 4.-The new liquor license law
for Ontario went into operation on July /. 1t
provides that no liquor shall be sold to persons
who are under 81 years of age Any person
under 81 years found lettering around tavern
is liable to imprisonment. Druggists are pro-
hibited from selling liquor except by physi-
clans order. No license can be issued for a
tavern within 800 feet of a church or school.
While the population OF Ontario has ma terially
increased within the past twenty years. the
licenses have decreased by one-hal}. In the
province last year there were fewer commit
ments for drunkenness than ever before; and
there were so per cent. moro commitments in
the State of Maine under its prohibitory law in

license law. The new statute is expected to
