CABARET VISITORS
TO GO BOOZELESS

st. Paul, June An order which
will prevent dancing and cabaret per-
formances in places where liquor is
sold was passed late today by the
state public safety commission. 1t
was drawn up to apply to the three
large cities of the state, MINNEAPOLIS
st. Paul and Duluth. The order was
based on the statement from Score
tary of War Baker that military
camps would not be maintained where
conditions are not the best. The order
forbids the sale of liquor to women
and bars women from saloons. An
order earlier in the day was designed
to prevent sale of liquor by whole
sale houses to boarding houses occu-
pied by minors and lumbermcn in st
Louis county outside of Duluth. This
order and the other. were both made
effective at once when finally adopted
The commission also directed the
printing of the act of congress of May
is. which forbids sale of liquor to
men in the uniform of the army OF
navy, to be posted in saloons
