Liggett's Drug Stores
Make Liquor Ban, Tight

I IGGETT'S sixty drug stores

A week ago instructions were issued
to get rid of all supplies on hand OF
brandy, rum, port wine, sherry and
gin. AS the manager of one branch
told The Tribune: "We threw it all
down the sink"
"People often come in with doctors

Of. say, iron, strychninc and port

another branch. From now on we
will turn down all such prescriptions.

A dozen attempts by vets in the
House Judiciary Committee to sep
arate the omnibus bill reported last
Friday into two measures were over
ridden by the drys. The vets had no
hope that they could defeat the war
enforcement measure if it were con-
sidered separately, but they did be-
lead to a protest against the enact
ment Of the drastic legislation planned
by the drys for the enforcement OF
national prohibition after January 16.
1920
Mr.. Volstcad believed, after CON
ferences with dry Senator'S, that the
enforcement bill could be put through
in a week if a spirit of cooperation
was shown. The drys generally held
that brewers and liquor dealers would
be entirely justified in continuing the
ing less than pa per cent alcohol,
on the strength of the Attorney Cen
erals etatemont. coupled with the de-
cision Of Judge Rose to-day.
Representative lgoc. Democrat of
Missouri, leader of the "liberals" on
the Judiciary Committee, received per-
mission from the Rouse to-day to lie
the minority committee report, which
will be signed by six or more members
Of the committee, at any time on or
before July S.
Without Power to Define
This report will contend that Con-
grcss is without power to define in
toXicating liquor as any liquid con-
tanning more than one-half of l per
cent of alcohol Definition of what
beverages are intoxicating, the report
will argue, should be lcf. to the courts.
The report will attack the drastic pro-
visions for the enforcement of national
prohibition, asserting that many Of
them are Unreasonable, unjustitied and
unconstitutional.
The minority is expected to sumbt
substitute bill, leaving out all def
nitions of Intoxicating liquors" and
to recommend its PASSAGE. This bill
also would give the President definite
authority to lift the restriction of the
wartime prohibition upon beers and
wines.
Representative J. Hampton Moore, Of
pennsylvania, an opponent of prohibi-
ton, predicted that all attempts to on
force absolute prohibition would lead
to fiat failure. He said, however, that
he would not attempt to put any OBJ
staclcs in the way of prompt enactment
of enforcement legislation.
"The present prohibition craze illus
trates the weakness of the American
people, in thinking they can fly from
one extreme to another without up
sets" he said. "The result will be that
stills will be established in many eel
lars and the people will be drinking
more whiskey than they could possibly

In the habit of saying that people
cannot be made moral by law That
is one of those half truths which is
more misleading than a falsehood.
Law can change mans habits as, for

completed the change which public
sentiment began.
When prohibition is enforced from
shore to shore great many more

that they do not need liquor-that
They are not only better off without
it, but that they can make a good use
of the money formerly spent for
liquor. Men will have more time to
spend at home with wives and with
dren. They will also have more
money with which to educate their
children. They will also have more
high school and to college. Those
who are too old to go " school will
find time for reading which was for
merly spent in the barroom.
"Clean amusements will take the
place of the amusements employed by
the liquor interests to degrade men
to the saloon level There will be
more opportunity for spiritual things
and men will be more open to
religious appeals. Life will not be
less happy. On the contrary, there
will be more happiness happiness
which is not due to false stimulant

CITY NOT TO BUY
ARMY SUPPLIES
Uncertainty Of Condition of Army
Food Supplies Causes City
to Decline.

Several days ago the city council
went into an investigation of the offer
of the government to sell to munich
palities surplus army food supplies,
including canned goods, meats, vege-
tables, etc, for distribution to the
people at cost.
After going into the proposition
thoroughly it has been decided not to
purchase the supplies.
II was found that the government
does not guarantee the wholesome
ness or quality Of the goods, nor
would the city be allowed to purchase
subject to inspection.
1t was learned further that the
goods are packed in large packages
and, therefore, were not suitable for
domestic use.
The offer Of the government was to
sell the supplies TO municipalities at
80 per cent Of cost and they we're to
be distributed TO the people at cost
plus freight and charge Of handling.
