Menace III Patent Medicines
The dangers of the growth of some
alcoholic patent medicines after proh-
bition takes effect was pointed out by
Albert G. Thatcher. 1T is going to be
very hard for the man who has been
moderate drinker all his life he said,
Ito stop. He will probably try some
substitute and the substitutes will be
found. We know men who have made
millions out of some patent medicines.
There will be other things to suppress
and we must bear this in mind.
| j. Augustus Brosius said that there
( would not be a. much difficulty en-
rountered in enforcing the amendment
as many people seemed to think. tie
said that those opposing il were largely
the foreign element. and that they
would fall in line with the better Gle
mcnt of society and harmonizc with the
thought of America. Nathaniel Rich :
ardson said that prohibition must be
enforced either by the courts or mill
tary force. Doctor Gubbins said that
the deleterious effects Of alcohol as n
medicine We're generally recognized now
by all reputable doctors. He suggested
a remedy to lessen accidents caused by
chauffeurs under the influence of liquor
He would have every such driver taken
at once to hospital if there was any
! suspicion of drink on his breath and
there have n stomach pump applied fol

admonish tho man. aud If the offcns'

VOLUNTEERS FIGHT
BRITISH R. R. STRIKERS
Situation Vastly Improved, With
Material Increase in Num-
Der of Trains.

London--All the odds at the pres
ent writing are calculated in favor of
the early and signal defeat of the
strike so precipitately sprung upon the
community by the National Union OF
Railway Mems Executive.
The public has little taste, in this
great emergency, for the recrimina-
lions and regulations which have fol-
lowed the negotiations between Pre-
mier Lloyd George and Sir Eric Ged-
DIES for the government and l. I'll.
Thomas for the strikers. The central
fact is recognized to be that the rail-
way men declared strike against the
community, which they threatened
with starvation. There is widespread
determination to resist the dictates of
minority, and other unions resent
what they regard as the selfish action
of the railway men.
Volunteers are running trains on the
London tubes and the underground,
and it is expected that the volunteers
will soon gain sufficient experience to
make partial service safe.
Most of the main railroad lines are
getting a few trains through, and the
Great Western officials assert that
their service is almost normal Twelve
trains each way are run between Lon
don and Brighton.
The government measures are being
assisted in a remarkable degree by pri-
vate enterprise and individual effort.
Every method of conveyance that can
be adapted to the public need is being
put into use, from airplanes to coster-
mongerS donkey carts. Incidentally,
more horse-drawn traffic has been seen
in London streets since the strike be-
gan than has been in evidence for
years.
The mails are being sent all over the
country by airplanes, and those COM
panies which were formed to develop
the commercial possibilities of avia-
ton are getting an unexpectedly early
opportunity of putting their theories
to a practical test. Long distance pas
senger motor services are being or
ganized, and already a goodly number
of South Coast holiday makers have
returned to their homes and places Of
business by this means.
