Among the latest prominent re-
cruits to the cause Of suffrage is
Congressman Cordell Hull, Of the
Fourth District Of Tennessee. Judge
Hull voted against the Federal Suf-
frage Amendment in the last Con-

of honor at a luncheon given by
Mrs. Guilford Dudley, when he de.
clared his intention to support the

the most vital and significant Of the
day.

Warning

We are informed that at some cafes restaurants
and gardens beer and strong drinks have been
sold under the guise of the popular soft drink,
BEVO.
These reports have been confirmed sufficiently to
compel us to take action.
The beverage BEVO enjoys the protection of both
federal and state authority In preparing it for
sale and in marketing it. we adopt every possible
precaution to protect the public against imposi-
ton and to prevent evasion of the law. BEVO is
sold in bottles only, we bottle all Of it ourselves
and we have adopted kind of BOTTLE crown ard
seals designed to prevent imitation.
We shall omit no measure within our power to
defend the authority under which BEVO is
manufactured and sold, to protect the public from
imposition and to safeguard the good name Of this
Association.
We therefore give fair warning that we shall
refuse to sell products to those who are found
guilty Of the above offensc.
