HIS TOO MANY SALOONS.
Nc5c English Licensing Bill HM C"t
Ont 10000 Dramshops.

Ton5on Feb 27-Mr Asouith Chancellor or
the Exchequer. introduced the licensing niii IN
the House of Commons this afternoon lhIS u
the principal government measure for the pres
ent session of Parliament. and owing to tne
vast money and labor interests involved IL Is
attracting widespread interest The capitai IN
vested in licensed property In this country Is
not less than $1,000 600. while mora than
two million people are employed in the traffic
The Chancellor in presenting the bill, declared
that in the opinion Of the government all efec-
tive reform in this field must aim az the al
tairr1ent Of two principal points namely, a
progressive reduction of the excessive taciii'eS
now allowed for the retail sale Of intoxicating
liquors and the gradually complete recovery pS
the state with due regard for existing interests
Of it's dominion over and it's property In mo-
nopoly which II had improvidently allowed 10
slip from its control
The plans proposed for the attainment OF 'hese
objects were detailed at considerable length by
the Chancellor Briefly, the bill provides for
the compulsory reduction, within a specified
period and OF a uniform scale, of the number
of regular saloon licenses throughout the
country The number Of saloons 10 be licensed
is based mainly upon the density Of the popu-
latfon. In cities it is proposed to allow one
saloon for every seven hundred and fifty per
sons. and in the country districts one saloon
for every four hundred persons. This regua-
ton II is estimated, will wipe out in the nelgh-
horhood Of thirty thousand licenses, about one
third Of the present total
The bill proposes that this reduction ce -
fected within twenty years. The system Of com
pensatfrg those entirely deprived of their
licenses * to Lapse after a period Of fourteen
years from the beginning Of the act. ana
an end thus will be put 70 the vested interests
IN all licenses Local option is TO govern me
issuance OF new licenses, and majority OF ths
parocF1iaI electors is sufficient 70 prohibit me
granting Of a license for period Of three years
At the expiration Of which new vote may he
taken.
Under this bill AL clubs must be registered
annually and the officials are empowered 70 n
spect the club OF the millionaire as we'll as that
Of he workingn1an. This proviso is intended to
do swav with nun her Of so-caIled clubs. which
in reality are nothing more than liquor shops.
Among the numerous other provisions of ths
bill it is set forth that only persons who have
travelled six miles shall be able TO obtain liquor
during the closed hours Of Sunday. up to the
present time only three miles or travel has been
necessary 10 secure the accommodation
Mr. Asnuith expressed the opinion that Eng
land was not Vet ripe for compulsory Sunday
closing but he said that outside the metTopois
M saloon should be allowed to keep open on
Sunday for more than one hour at midday or
more than two hours in the evening In con-
c1usion the Chancellor declared that If this bill

FOR PIMPLES, TOO

New Discovery Cures Eczema and
Eradicates Minor Skin Troubles
Over Night
A few months ago the dispensers
OF poslam the new discovery for the
cure OF eczema, decided to allow the
druggists of the country TO handle it,
Previous to that time II could only be
obtained direct from the laborator-
les.
Since this change in the method of
distribution, poslam has met with the
most phenomenal success of anything
introduced 10 the drug trade in the
last 30 years. All leading druggists
including w. l.. Gokay In Bennington
are now carrying the special 80 cent
size recently adopted, also the 81 jar
This great success is not surprising
when it is remembered that, in &c
zema cases, poslam stops the itching
with first application, proceeds to
heal Immediately and cures chronic
cases in a few weeks. In minor skin
troubles, such as pimples, blackheads,
acne, herpes, blotches, rash, etc, re-
suits show after an overnight applica-
ton. Experimental samples of pos
lam are sent to anyone by mail free
