Third Ward SaIesmen are Making

Working Hard Every
Day.

But Such is Not the
Case.

| In those wards where the Victory

of the former campaigns, the reports
have been quite satisfactory. In some
of the wards the workers do not seem
to be on the job in the right way yet.
THE work which was not done this
week will have to be done next week

The chairman of this ward hustled
his solicitors right out on Monday
morning and has kept them so busy
that the work in the entire ward is
practically completed.
The amount of bonds sold In this
ward is highly satisfactory and many
predict that the third will have the
highest figures of any ward in the city.

CHAMPAGNE LOW PRICE
IN REIcHSTAG CAFES
Brings One Dollar a Bottle - In
Terms of American Money

A Berlin dispatch of November 26
announces that a dollar a bottle for
champagne is the prevailing price in
the Reichstag restaurant where busy
German legislators lunch. The phe-
nomenally low value of the German
mark has brought about the low price.
The rate of exchange has made the
American dollar worth IS marks and
S. marks is the price the German gov
eminent makes to its legislators for
wine. The restaurant is operated by
the government for the benefit of its
employees. Prices are set down on
the card in German, of course, and
without the comparative values in
other money. But it didn't take
American newspapers very long to
figure out that bottle OF champagne
was worth one dollar in American
money In peace time the IS mark
price would make a bottle of wine
warth $8.40.

Supt. of Paris Mission Says Wine
Interests Most Formidable
Foe of Dry France

Pasteur H. Merle G-Aubigne, super
intendent OF the Macall Mission in
Paris. says The Voice. is a man OF
character and intellectual attainments
who is accomplishing a great work.
In letter to the Board OF Temper
ance he says:
"More than ever | am convinced
that to save France, the fight against
alcohol must be resumed most ener-
getically, as there is little doubt that
the ,4yar hes greatly increased the al

have done marvels and helped us
toward victory. France is wounded,
exhausted. She has lost one and a
half million men. She needs your
help against the inner enemy
The fight against alcohol is much
more difficult in France than in
America. With us, as with you, the
greater quantity of spirits and beer is
produced by a few great dstllers
and brewers whom it is possible to at
tack in the name OF democracy. But
with us the national drink is wine,
which is produced by multitude of
people. 1t is said that out of thirty
nine million inhabitants before the
war, five million lived largely on it,
grew it, made it, sold it. The habit
Of drinking wine has become almost
universal. Total abstinence is re-
stricted to very conscientious and re-
ligious circles. Did it not begin there
in America? Moreover, it is possible
to raise the hue and cry against dis
titled liquors and it is here that the
most immediate Roadway can be
made. In the northern region, where
wine is little drunk and social condi-
tons are similar in many ways to
yours, total abstinence has made prog
gress. ] trust that you will help us

THE LARGE DISTILlERY
EXPECTS MUCH SICKNESS
Pennsylvania Company Files Bond
and Will Resume Making Whisky
for Medicine

The Large Distiling Company OF
Pittsburg announces that they will re-
sumo operation OF their distillery in
Jefferson township, Allegheny county.
Pa, and make whisky for medicinal
purposes under the new law.
This distillery was founded in 1896.
Its officials have secured permission
from the United States government to
begin business under the new law.
They have signed bond for $4,000
The company recently bought
$4,000 bushels OF rye from Michigan
dealers. The company is said to
have $4,000 barrels of whisky in bond
which is being held for sale to drug
gists holding government permit.
The Large Di itilling Company was
founded by Holm Large, Revolu-
tionary soldier, and started in log
cabin on Mount Washington soon
after the close OF the war. Later il
was moved TO Jefferson township.
Col. Hamilton who is the present head
of the company, thinks the people of
the United States will need 100000
pints in every ten-day period. The
new law permits a physician to pre-
scribe pint to any person in not
oftener than ten days. According to
Col. Hamilton not less than one out
OF every ten persons will need pint
OF whisky every tenth day for me-
dicinal use.

BOOZE IN RESTAURANTS
IS TOM GILMORE'S DREAM
Urges Brewers and Distillers to
Exercise Wisdom in the Face
of Frightening Situation
SAYS ALOON IS BAD
Wants Booze Men to Fight Re-
turn of Saloon; People Not OPP
posed to Booze, He Says

Tom Gilmore, president of the Ma
tional Model License League, as quot
ed III a Louisville dispatch OF Decem-
Der ), advises brewers, distillers, ho-
tel keepers and wine makers ito ex-
crcise wisdom in the face of steadily
Frightening situation" and see to it
that whatever modification the fu-
ture brings, the saloon shall be BAN
ished forever" He declares that the
Prohibition tide is turned from flow
to ebb. He advocates the sale of liq-
uors only in restaurants patronized
by women and children as we'll as by
men.
Tom is unduly agitated by the fear
that saloons will return. Evidently
he believes unless the brewers, dis
tllers, hotel keepers and wine makers
oppose the saloon 1t will surely come
back.
Doesn't Tom know that the saloon
was ousted i'll spite of the most Wig
orous opposition of the brewers, dis
tillers, a certain element OF the hotel
keepers, and the wine makers?
Doesn't he know that this same
gang is now putting up the money to
pay expense of court contests attack
ing the validity OF Prohibition?
Doesn't he know that the majority
of the saloons OF this country were
owned by the brewers?
Yes, Tom knows all these facts.
His proposition is offered as sort
of compromise to the people who
rendered the death verdict to the
whole liquor traffic.
His proposition, boiled down, is
this: THE outlawed liquor traffic will
agree to abolish the saloon if the peo-
pie will permit booze to be sold in
restaurants, cafes, cabarets, etc" In
fact. Tom says the time is speedily
coming when the traffic will be REIN
stated on this basis.
Tom is rapidly qualifying as one of
Americas leading humorists.

PROHIBITION BOOMS
POOL AND BILLIARDS

Sam ]. Turnes, general sales man
ager of the Brunswick Bake COLLEEN
der Company, manufacturers of bill
lard and pool takes, says that Prohi-
bition has stimulated business in pool,
billiard and bowling parlors through
out the country. He declares that
bowling especially is sport that is
receiving increased attention. He is
quoted in the Kansas City Star as
saying:
The comparatively few saloons
that remain open now are SHINY
patronized. Many of the former
patrons now are bowling or play
