Hay-box cookery is not a new idea

At Pernambuco Alan found an ac-

other statement, as you may ccnfroae
similar statements from other sources
Il has been stated that only i7s- I'LL
cit distilleries were destroyed In 1s0S
in Alabama. and that in 1914 the NUM-
Der had risen TO 3os. The writer prob-
ably did not know that the saloons
were opened In Alabama in eight diff
ferent counties scattered over the
state. and that there wa. ample facility
for everybody In the state, even In
the dry counties, to obtain all the
liquor they needed. Hence. liz the arr
ticle had stated the truth, IL would
have appeared that the high number
of sos illicit distilIeries existed Ia
1914 under the saloon system. Tbs
fact is that as time has gone on, and
there has been create. agitation in
this State. the activities of Federal
officers have been greater, ana you
will note the statement that In 1914
3OS Illicit distilleries were destroyed.
We ar, even yet from time to time de-
stroyinF Illicit distilieries. as officials
are showing greater activity In this
regard. The existence of Illicit dis
tilleries is no Indictment against pro-
hibition, When and how was the thirst
for liquors formed? 1t was formed DUR
ing over ninety wears of the saloon sys-
tenn in this State. When we have
raised a generation of people under
our present prohibition laws. the prac-
tice of drinking will not he so general

entirely disappear. Today In Alabama

have in his possession more than two

time, and he may not have more than
one ktad of the said liquors at one
