most of the day in discussing ana
amending the DuRant quart-a-month

clad statewide prohibition substitute

physicians of the duty OF issuing pre-
scriptions under the DuRant liquor
bill, was adopted by the house by
vote of 81 to 49, This bill, as amend
ed, now provides that the monthly al
fowance may be received upon certi-
fcate secured from the clerk OF court,
upon payment of ten cents, and am
davit of the consignee that ne is Il
wears and has not received any 9TH
er shipment during the month. by
the adoption of the Neuffer amend
ment. the Fromberg proposal to per-
NIT ministers and rabbis to receive
gallon per month for sacramental
purposes, was killed, but the amend
ment allowing a gallon of wine during
Passover to the head of Hebrew
family was not affected. Upon mo-
ton of Mr.. Moore, the house struck
out the section which would require

kept in open view or easily accessible
