KANSAS SENATOR'S
EXPOSE LIQUOR lies


The persistent lying of the liquor
interests about Kansas was shown
up in the United States Senate re-
Gently by Senators Curtis and Thomp-
son of that state.
Senator MARITIME of New Jersey
and Reed OF Missouri, who had al
lowed themselves to be used as tools
by the liquor interests, repeated the
falsehoods that the vets had been
circulating for years about the Sun
flower state. In answer to Senator
Marines statement that 10000 gal
Ions of whisky had been shipped into
the city of Topeka during Septem-
Der, 1913, Senator Curtis read the
following letter from o. K. Swayze,
county clerk, whose business it is to
keep the record of such shipments.
Topeka, KAN, Dec. 20, 1916.
Hon. Charles Curtis, United States
Senate, Washington, D. c.:
Answering kilograms concerning
liquor shipments into Topeka during
September, 1913, the statement on the
floor of the Senate is the same mis-
statement that has been banded
about by the liquor leagues and brew
ers in every wet and dry fight from
Washington, D. c., to State of Wash
ington in the last three years. Have
tonight made compilation of receipts
according to reports of all express
and railroad companies for September
complete. The 1928 shipments to-
tailed 2o,079 gallons, of which 2o,4O4
were beer and the balance other liq-
uors, as whisky, wine and alcohol, an
average of l.6 gallons per inhabitant.
Have written 100 letters denying this
same story and proving the records.
o. X. Swayze, County Clerk.
Per Capita Consumption in Kansas
Very Low
To Senator Reeds charge that there
was more liquor sold in Kansas in
proportion to the population than in
Illinois or New York, Senator Cur
It's produced the following telegram
from Professor Blackmar of Kansas
University:
! Lawrence, Kan, Dec. 20, 1915.
Senator Charles Curtis, Washington,
D. c.:
| AS Assistant Attorney General,
made careful investigation of liquor
shipments into every county in Kansas
during year 1914. Average per capita
shipment of all kinds of liquor, includ-
ing alcohol, was 2.47 gallons. Allow
ing for consumption not recorded in
shipments, annual consumption did
not exceed three gallons per capita.
IN same year average per capita con
sumption in United States was 22.5
/ gallons. In their vilihcation of Kan
sas, liquor advocates seem to have
lost all standards of truth and hon
esty. F. M. Blackmar.
Senator Thompson also read a let
ter from c. W. Green, Mayor of Kan
sas City, Kan, refuting the statement
of Senator Reed that beer was being
openly delivered in that city, and so
| it turned out that the 10000 gallons
of whisky for Topeka shrank to D.
JOS gallons, including wine and alco-
hol, shrinkage of 81 per cent, which
represents the ratio of falschood to
truth in the statements of the liquor
interests about Kansas.

During November, the first month
of Prohibition in Virginia, there were
1854 fewer commitments to Jail than
during the preceding month. Every
city in the state showed a decrease
except Alexandria, where previous to
the Inauguration of Prohibition
drunks were not arrested.

The Skeleton in the Liquor Closet

V. a. Drscol, efficiency expert of Milwaukee, gave
this bit of information from his personal observation:
My business took the big warehouses the
Milwaukee bewere Schl Pabst and the Others These
houses formerly used malt houses but employed
toreouse bar fixtures One OF the officers who showed
through remarked ut not the loss OF the itself
that but the loss of the profits which this property
ought to be bringing in"
The testimony from other A Chi
cago liability insurance agent who does business in Mwau
ke for instance that he several warehouses feet
square and stories high crowded from top floor base
with fixtures which had been returned from

A thousand times have heard rich
women say: ooh! youth is SO wonder.
full and lovely. l would give every.
thing possess for youth and beauty
again!" No woman with the slightest
spark Of pride or ambition in her
wants to be laid on the shelf, aged,
careworn, wrinkled and forgotten so
that men wish to avoid her at every
dance and dinner party. And women
themselves would like to invite some
one who looks younger to brighten up
the occasionl Yet there is no longer
any reason why the average woman
need look so old and plain even II she
Is old.
Since the remarkable discovery of
skin osmosis almost any woman can
obtain most astonishing new beauty
and a most surprisingly youthful ap-
pearance even though she is 40 or so
or more years Of age. The Countess
de Chavanne who at 70 years OF age,
possesses marvelously soft, smooth,
velvet.like skin and an almost girl.like
complexion without wrinkle in sight,
told the frter personally In Paris
that she owed it all to the discovery
Of skin osmsosis. With this marvellous
discovery every complexion blemish
can be banished In three nights in
many instances and you can awaken
in the morning with a beautiful, rose.
colored complexion fresh as daisy.
I have known dozens of hollow.cheek
ed. wrinkled, aged.looking women,
who had given up all hope Of ever
looking beautiful and youthful again,
to come back" and again become most
beautiful, youthful and fascinating in
from. two to three weeks time by this
wonderful simple method.
No matter what your age or what
you have tried unsuccessfully, skin os.
mosis will positively bring you new
beauty and youth. Merely wash your
face In warm water at night and rub
IL In teaspoenfnl or two Of any good
Toseated cream which you can obtain
from your druggist In the morning
