 | Under Section of the proposed .amendment 10 the Constitution. "the manufacture. sale and keeping for sale | of alcoholic beverages shall be forever prohibited in this State. but alcohol may be sold for medical. scientific and mechanical purposes, and wine for sac- | ramental purposes. under such | regulations as the Legislature may have prescribed or may hereafter pre- | scribe"

If it iS | good enough to be used for these pur- poses. why is 1t not good enough tc l be made for them? And If wlnets good enough to be used in the church why Is 1t not good en"agh. to be made soiS foI | questions that present themselves tc us. Suppose the n1anufseture of these | things be prohibited In all other States as Is now the case in Alabama, how are they to be obtained for such uses as are specified in this section or the | proposed amendment?
