LIQUOR HAVE |:
BEEN REVIVED
Influenza Epidemic Has
Caused Big Demand For
Whiskey in Canada.

CALGARY Alta, Nov. 18.-One Of the
results of the present widespread cpl
demic Of influenza has been a revival
OF the liquor argument in some OF It's
bitterest phases. Medical opinion
apparently is divided on the ad-
visibility Of the administration OF
liquor, either as a preventive or as a
remedial measure, and laymen have
Joined in. filling columns Of the news
papers with letters pro and
One returned soldier furnished
some chuckles to the community by
writing q letter in the most approved
w. C. T. U. ~phraseology, deploring the
influenza epidemic as the result Of a
visitation of divine wrath "fOr our
c~arelessness and weakness in permit
ting the w. C. T. U. and other organi-
cations to force prohibition upon US"
Another writer advocates the use of
rum and goats milk, while a natural
lied Turk describes how the corpse
carriers during the great plague in
Constantinople immunized themselves
by imbibing plentifully Of liquor.
.t.sOn the other hand, temperance ad-
vocates are equally vigorous in their
denunciation of all efforts to lift the
ban on the cup that cheers. One
such writer told how his father and
grandfather who were undertakers
for generations had found liquor Of
no avail in epidemics. He cited an
instance of one funeral where the six
pail bearers were all pressed to take
asdrink. Only n refused and he was
the only one Of the half dozen who
did not shortly fall sick and die.
Aside from the humorous features
shortage of liquor in the government
stores owing to the freedom with
which physicians have been writing
prescriptions for rum, brandy, ETC.,
throughout the province. The chief
Inspector Of the province who keeps
tab on all liquor imported and sold
by h government vendors, a few y
ago issued a warning that there was
less than ten days supply in the
province and the physicians would
have to be more reasonable" in writ
ing prescriptions. He said the gov
eminent was making strenuous efforts
to obtain more.
Meanwhile, the druggists who are
the only persons hat can legally re-
tail liquor, and then only to the ex
tent Of a quart on a physicians pre-
scription, are reaping a harvest. All
kinds Of prices are being charged, and
the protests over liquor profteerine
have reached such a climax that the
minister Of public health, Hon. A. G
MacKay, has been compelled to take
up the subject.
Mr.. MacKay issued a ~pronuncia.
mento pointing out that he was pow
erless to change the law, that the &C
provides 10 scale Of prices to bt
charged by druggists. He sen a tele'
gram to the dominion government
asking II, 1t were possible to take
some action under the war act pro
hibiting prof1teering but, has received
no.reply as yet on the subject.

SEVEN MILLION
TROUT FRY TO
BE PUT lNLAKES
Waters of Minnesota to be
Plentifully Supplied with
Small Fish.

Paul, Mimi, Feb. 2S.-More than
Il, 0OO,o 900 trout fry which now fill the
state fish hatcheries at st. Paul, Glen
wood and Detroit, will be distributed
In Minnesota waters to make room
for approximately 275.000,00 pike
eggs which are to be Matched during
May and then distributed likewise.
Commissioners Carlos Avery of the
state game and fish department late
yesterday announced plans for spring
activities in state fish hatcheries. +.
Nv. Cobb, superintendent of the
hatcheries. is visiting Cass and Red
lakes to arrange to obtain large guam
titles of pike eggs. The first 1918
shipment Of trout fry will be made
tomorrow to Caledonia to be placed
in Headquarters of small streams here.
Propagation of pike is the most i'm

the state, Commissioners Avery said.
support is obtainable. More than
275,000, 900 pike & E were Matched in
state plants last season n as many
will be handled this year, barring un-
forseen obstacles. The pike hatcher
les are located at st. Paul, Glenwood,
Detroit, Granite Falls, Remidji,
Tower, Rainier and Otter Tail. The
pike fry is distributed late in May and
early in Jun each year. and many
applications for c~onsignments are al
ready on file.
Superintendent Cobb is arranging
for a new location in which to take
nike eggs from Cass Lake. following
reports that tho old place is jammed
with logs. In a plan to take pike eggs
from Red lake for the first time, he
will try to find good locations there.
The Otter Tail station will be OPP
ened this season, having been built by
the state after contributions were
made by Otter Tail citizens interested
in the propagation work. The proDa-
cation of wall-eyed pike is greatly ia
cilitated by the small stations near
places in which E E are, Obtainable
n has been nearly douhl in the
state in recent years with the erection
of the additional plants, the commits
sioner said.
The Rainy Lake Matching station,
erected at the expense of the Rainy
Lake Commercial Fishermen's associ-
alton, will start it's second seasons
work. The state furnishes the serv-
ices of experts to operate the plant.
The Tower hatchery. a small plant
provided several years ago by the
Tower Commercial club, will be re-
paced by a new station this season.
The state will eXpend $500 for a
ornament station there. The building
materials and equipment were OBJ
tanned before war demands for iron
and other products increased prices.
Commissioner Avery said. else the
project would have to be deferred.

AMERICAN CLUB
0WNERST MEET
in MILWAUKEE;
Schedule for 1918 Will be
Fixed at Conference and
Price will be Fixed.

Milwaukee. Wis. Feb. 2S.-Ameri-
can association baseball magnates
were to meet in Milwaukee today for
the purpose of formulating a playing
schedule for the 1918 season and to
fix upon the prices to be charged for
tickets in various locations in park
stands together with the wal tax as
sessment. @
The general opinion before the
meeting was hat an agreement would
be reached for the opening of the
season about May /. as weather bur-
eau records in different sections Of
the country SHOW many rainy days
during the last half Of April and club
owners agree that an early opening
in the association circuit would result
in Il financial loss.
Prices undoubtedly will be raised.
President Hickey said, in order to
eliminate the handling of pennies. The
new scale in the association probably
will be 80 cents for bleacher seats, 60
cents for the grand stand, IS cents for
reserved grand stand and $1.1O for
box seats. Each club owner probably
will be allowed to do whatever he de-
sires with this extra revenue, although
it may be decided to turn it over to a
war revenue, the Red Cross or Clark
Griffith's bat and ball fund.
