GRAND OBJECT LESSON.
Prohibition in Canada Helps Sale of
Tea, Coffee and Soft Drinks.

When John Barlevcorn was banished
from eight Of Canada 5 nine provinces
there were those who predicted econom-
lie ruin-a depression that would
wreck business and speedily restore
King Alcohol to his former legal protee-
ton, says Harold C. Lowrev in Print
er : Ink. But more than i year has
passed and instead of the depression
there has been a record breaking i'm
petus to a great many enterprises, an
impetus so great as TO be beyond the
fondegt antieipations of the advocates
Of temperance.
During this year Canada has forged
ahead at tremendous pace. Her inn
ports have increased her exports have
doubled, her production has broken rec
ords, savings have been piled up, great
national loans have been tioated. in
dehtedness hquidated and SO forth.
This Is not Il preachment on temper
ancc. It il a plain statement of the
retle%es Of prohibition on business. Per-
hars one of the most noticeable effects
of prohibition has been the augmenta-
tlon of tea and coffee sales
One of the curious effects of prohibi-
ton has been the DETECTION of soft
drinks, cigars and tobacco buying to-
ward the local grocery stores. Quite a
I thriving business in these lines has been
developed in the groceries in both west
| ern and eastern Canada. This has in a
| great measure been due to the adver-
Using directed at the grocers bv the
! soft drink and tobacco companies. Pro
, hibition has stimulated the buying of
! grape juices and other alcoholic
beverages in both grocery and drug
stores
Theatres have prospered since the
closing of the saloons, particularly the
moderate-prieed houses and the movies.
Men who formerly spent their evenings
and wages in the bar-room now take
! their families to the movies ar about a
quarter of the cost Everybody is hap
/ py Everyone Is well fed and well
| clothed, and one in every ten of CAM
| ada 3 entire population subscribed to
the Victory loan. The only province
now wet subscribed the least of
any place in Canada

 All kinds of rumors were set going, and The Empires tele- phones were Kept jangling by citi- zens who desired to know the truth concerning them A much better feeling prevailed when it was found that the Germans so far have fail ed to, make any great gains. accord ing to today's dispatches.
