Legal Aspects Of Prohibition

Case and Comment is publication devoted to
the education of correct law principles and is not
published in the interest of any organization, party
or reform In a recent issue, Mr.. Herbert c. Shatuc
OF the New York bar, discusses the relation of the
liquor business to the law and the following is
extract from his discussion
The facts underlying all agitation for the Prohibi-
ton of all Intoxicating liquors that alcohol all forms

as beverage. Not only this being taught in the
public schools all of the general public have

| notice good many people use
the garbage cans on the street to
burn paper in. The marshal ought
rot allow this. These cans are not
made to burn trash in. Every mer-
chant in the town ought to own a
standard rubbish burner. Rubbish
burners save life, property, expense
and trouble The use of these burn
ers for the disposal of waste papers
and all kinds of rubbish that is sure
to accumulate about your house, store
or office is most highly commended
by both life and fire insurance com
panies.
A very large proportion of our dis
asterous fires is caused, either by
burning rubbish in the open, or by
over-heatng stove and heater pipes
in attempting to dispose of waste pa
per in the house.
The Standard Rubbish Burner is
manufactured of galvanized wire with
heavy iron supports that have been
dipped in asphaltum, Special sizes
made to order. The Civic League
