was kidnapped by tramp eighteen years

that she has found her parents.
Mrs Clark attributes the return OF her

she was alive This belief was further con-

Immediately told me that she felt she was

STICK TO 1J CENT BEER.
Ma jority OF the Liquor Dealers Association
Stand by the New Price.

The Retail Liquor Dealers Association,
which recently voted to increase the price
of beer from 10 to Is cents pint and to
abolish free lunch. held a long meeting in
Terrace Garden Yesterday. Reports from
the forty-one locals showed. according to
President Fritz Lindinger that about 80
per cent of the members Of the organization
are living up to the 15-oent beer rule and
that only about half the members have
abolished the free lunch
Some OF the liquor dealers present wanted
to go back TO the old price for beer, but
the majority We're against the. suggestion.
President Lindinger said after the meet
ing that the fact that there were good
many members who had not vet fallen in
line with the l5-cent beer and the no-lunch
rules was not to be wondered at. 1T took
US two years to get the price from cents
to 10 cents pint after the Raines law was
passed, and It will probably take some time
now"
