REV. Wilbur F. BERRY,
WATERv|LLE, SPEAKER At
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

Rev. Wilbur F. Berry, D. D., of Wa
terville. superintendent of the Maine
Christian Civic League, gave a very
interesting sermon at the Sunday
morning service at the South Parish
Congregational church. speaking in
particular Of the necessity Of people
guarding their homes and communi-
ties from degrading influences. He
spoke in substance as follows:
1t is essential to have the right es-
innate Of values and a clear sense of
our own personal responsibility in pro-
tecting the wealth Of the nation in
physical and mental vigor and the
high character Of the people We can't
build good home or a good nation out
of prostitutes. thieves. drunkards or
other criminals; we must have good
people. We give constant attention to
guarding our body from disease That
IS proper. We are making great sacri-
fees for a vigorous and healthy devel-
opment Of the brain. That is proper.
for the usefulness Of man Is in the
healthy vigor Of his body controlled
by keen. well-developed brain. But
more important than physical and
mental vigor is high character direct
ing the brain and the physical activ-
tiles. We are giving great attention to
the care Of our bodies and minds but
we are too negligent on the moral
side.
We need to recognize the fact that
the vice forces in our minds are as
sure a menace to the morals OF our
homes as contagious diseases would hs
a menace to the physical interest of
our homes. It is Of the highest i'm
portance that we should be as agrees
sively active in protecting our com
munity from saloons, brothels and 9th
or vice forces as we are in protectine
our bodies from physical disease and
to this end tho activities of the Civic
League arc being directed.

Druggists
Booze Is
Grabbed

County detectives swooped
down on the Gill Drug Co.'S South
Tacoma store at 5243 South
Union street today with a motor
truck and hauled away the entire
stock of liquor, pending an in
vestigation of the previous dis
posal of the booze.
George Gill, proprietor, vas
placed under a $500 bond.
After he had thoroughly check
ed the permits, Prosecutor Re
mann decided to swear out an
Information charging the COM
pany with keeping intoxicating
liquors in stock with the intent
to unlswfully sell, barter or ex-
change.
He found that the sales did not
correspond with the amount IF
liquor ordered by the firm.
1t was found that a large dis
crepancy existed between the
pharmacy's registry OF prescrip-
ton sales and the amount order
ed on permits.
According to the registry, there
should have been 20 gallons of
alcohol, 2 barrels of beer, 20 bot
ties of wine, four quarts of gin
and about two drinks Of whisky
in stock in his South Tacoma
branch.
The stock confiscated by the
county today included 100 quarts
of beer, 20 gallons of alcohol,
two quarts Of gin and 10 bottles
of wine.
The stock at the 21st and
Cakes streets branch was to he
taken later. Deputy Sheriff Chill
berg and County Detectives Shaw
and Jacobs made the first raid.
Prosecutor Remain said that
this is only the beginning of the
regulation OF the drug store bust
ness.
After obtaining all of the wet
evidence today, it was discovered
the officers had neglected to OBJ
tain the registry book. Detective
Jacobs was sent back for the book
for evidence.
