DECREASED SALE OF LIQUOR

Much publicity has been given through
the press TO figures recently published by
the Internal Revenue Department of the
U. S. Government, showing the large
consumption OF liquor in this country
during the past year. We should be
fully informed of the facts in connection
with this report. The figures taken from
the internal revenue receipts do not show
the amount OF liquor really consumed,
but only the amount released from bond.
According TO law, all liquor in bond must
be released at the end OF eight years,
when the tax must be paid, and a large
amount is being released and placed in
private liquor warehouses, and much OF
this may lie there unused, for many years.
According TO figures OF the Brewers
Year Book, prohibition is proving etfec-
tive in reducing the consumption OF Ii
quor in prohibition States. These fig
ures show that nine prohibition States
used last year only 1.35 gallons of liquor
per capita, while fifteen local option
States with much dry territory used an
average OF 25. % gallons. The extremes
are Kansas and Oklahoma, with an aver
age OF less than Tooth OF | per cent, and
Wisconsin, with an average OF 64.5l gal
Ions per capita. Extract from presidents

Scold him and punish him most severe:
Show him how naughtiness tends TO his ILL.,
Draw the soft sobbing that turns TO tear.
Sccld him and penance him as you may.

Down at the quiet sweet end OF the day
To put him TO bed with kiss
Oh. put him TO bed with kiss. kiss,

That you've hung O. er his dear little face,
And cudded him up to your warm mother-breast
And asked the dear God for His grace.

But learn, tender mother, the bliss
Ofkneeling beside him so gentle and still
As you put him to bed with kiss

A stranger in Boston was once inter-
ested TO discover, when dining with
friends, that the dessert he would have
classed as cream layer cake at home, was
known in Boston as Washington pie.
The next time he lunched at a restaurant
he ordered the same thing; but the wait
er put before him rather heavylooking
square of cake covered with chocolate.
Puzzled expression came over his face
as he said reprovingly: ordered Wash

There were those who were inclined
to question the constitutionalitY of the
Webb law, but it is apparently impreg-
nable. Already great quantities OF liquor
have been seized under the new law.
Representative Webb, OF North Carolina,
author of the Webb bill, says: "After
months ofresearch and vigorous endeavor,
the wholesale liquor interests attorneys
tell me that they have not yet found a
loophole successfully to attack the law,
or even to make test case to bring its
