SUPREME COURT
UPH0LDS WARTIME
PROHIBITION ACT
Last Hope For Wet Holiday
Season Gone-U Unanimous
in Reversing Decision Of
Lower Court in Kentucky
. Case.
(By the Associated Press)

Washington, Dec. 15.-War-time
prohibition was held constitutional
today by the supreme court in a
unanimous decision. Thus vanished
the hopes OF many for a "wet" holi-
day time.
No decision was rendered on the
cases involving the constitutionality
of the Volstead law, the prohibition
enforcement act framed to carry out
the intent of the prohibition amend
ment to the constitution.
In passing, however, Associate
Justice Brandeis held that the pro-
hibition amendment was binding on
the states as we'll as the federal gov
ernment.
The court entirely reversed the
contention of the vets that war
time prohibition was outside the war
time power of congress and pointed
out that wartime control of food and
railroads still were in effect.
The decision added one of the final
milestones to the long fight to make
the country dry.
The signing of the armistice did
not abrogate the war powers of con-
gress, Associated Justice Brandeis
said in reading the decision of the
court.
Justice Brandeis said the govern
ment did not appropriate the liauor
by opposing its domestic sale, as the
way was left open for exporting it.
He also called attention to the con-
tinued control of the railroads, and
the resumption of powers by the gov
ernment relative to coal and sugar
under war acts to show that the gov
Iernn1ent continues to exercise yari:
GUS war powers despite signing of the
armistice.
Justice Brandeis said there was no
basis for the contention that Presi-
dent Wilson's statement in his mes
sage vetoing the prohibition act that
tne war had come to an end was a
proclamation announcing the termin-
alton of the war.
The Judgment of the court in the
Kentucky and New York cases was
unanimous.
The court will render opinions
again next Monday at which time the
beer cases are expected to be dectd-
ed after which the court will recess
until January S.
The prohibition amendment will
become effective January 16.
Upon the courts decision on the
prohibition enforcement law, will de.
pend whether the federal govern.
ment has at hand any legal means
Tor making the amendment effective
me constitutionality of wartime
prohibition, the vets are confident
Will keep the country dry until the
amendment is carried into effect hv
law Of its own.

CANADIAN DOLLAR
DROPS TO 80 CENTS

Winnipeg, Dec. 12.-Canadian dol
lars are worth just 80 cents each in
the United States today. Heavy buy
in the United States and simultan-
eous falling off in exports from Can
ada, across the line, are responsible
for the Canadian dollars slump in
value. "a wild spree of extravagant
buying of American luxuries" is the
way several financiers describe the
cause of the present conditions.

Sometimes Almost Undesirable.

There are weather conditions
that make rheumatism worse. They
are not the same in the cases OF
all persons. Some victims OF this
disease suffer more In dry warm
weather than In moist cold weather,
but all suffer more or less all the
time.
The cause OF rheumatism is an
excess of uric acid In the blood,
affecting the muscles and joints.
Hence the blood must have atten-
