Just behind him Hughey carried a

When Hughey fell, Achez turned him
over to unstrap the machine gun. He
noted that his head was crushed from

been instantly killed. He took the

THE truth has come out in regard to

THE truth has come out in regard to
the "Allied Medical Association,
which recently met in New York and
solemnly passed a resolution, which
was duly published by the wet news
papers of the country, declaring
against prohibition and affirming that
beer and wine were necessary from
a medical standpoint. The American
Medical Association, really reputable
BODY, warns the people against accept
ing the statement of the organization,
which, il says, is not representative OF
scientific medicine. Its president is
Agnat Mayer, an Austrian, who pre-
tends to cure rupture, and its secretary
treasurer and chief organizer is l..
Motefy, who has had considerable
newspaper publicity in connection with
ADMINISTRATION activities and a fake
cure for cancer.
Enough said.
Scratch a rabid anti-prohibitionist
and you are likely TO find boozer or
a rascally foreigner.

THE liquor business will be definite
" ended and every saloon in the
United States and its territories must
close its doors next Monday night at
midnight. AT that time the measure
passed BY Congress during the war
will go into effect. and will be the law
until the American armies are de-
modified Vain attempts were made
to have Congress repeal the law, but
be il said TO the credit of the Repuo-
lican majority in both the House and
the Senate, they have stood firm and
gave scant consideration to the liquor
interests. Next January constitution
al prohibition will go into effect, so 1t
is not likely that any of the saloons
TO be closed next Monday will ever
again have an open bar.
The people of this country seem not
TO realize the tremendous Importance
of national prohibition. The tenn
perance men and women who have la
bored so long for this great reform
can scarcely believe that their dream
has come true and that the fearful
curse has been removed-that the ire
mendous forces of evil represented by
the saloon and the liquor business have
been vanquished forever, at least so
far as this country is concerned. The
brewers and diStillers and wine-makers
and saloon-keepers are dazed. They
never believed that the prohibitioniSts
could do more than annoy them a
trifle, and now that their business has
been entirely outiawed and permanent
" ended they wonder how it has been
brought about. 1t is inconceivable to
them that forty-fve States have ratified
constitutional prohibition and never
again will the saloon be tolerated in
the United States. But the fact is
now indisputable and they can only
accept the inevitable.
Naturally so tremendous change
in the habits and indulgences of so
many persons will cause confusion and
dissatisfaction and some suffering.
But the ultimate good to individuals
and to humanity will so far outbalance
these things that all reasonable per-
sons must rejoice in the reform.
Prohibition is the greatest blessing that
has come to the human race in two
thousand years.
