Thefts of Liquor
 From Warehouses

Cincinnati, O., Nov. lS.-Thefts of spirits from bonded warehouse have become so numerous since the advent of prohibition that the National asso- citation of distillers and wholesale dealers, whose headquarters is in Cincinnati, is advising members tc take extra precautions to safeguard such property.
 Since the prohibition law went into effect, warehouses all over the coun- try have been broken into and the spirits taken away in large quanti ties. A cause of worry to distillers and dealers is that in the case of stolen goods the government at tempts to hold the distiller for the tax on the goods stolen.

DRY CLEAN ALL FAMILY CLOTHES
 FOR FEW GENTS

Any woman can clean and renew waists, dresses. suits, coats, gloves, ribbons, furs, slippers, shawls. belts, ties, wells, mems clothes, lace cur tains, woolens, rugs, draperles- everything that would be ruined by soap and water.
 Place a gallon or more of gasoline in dishpan or wash boiler, put in the things to be dry cleaned, then wash them with Solvite Soap. Shortly everything comes out looking like new.
 Nothing fades, shrinks or wrinkles. No pressing needed. Do not attempt to dry clean without Solvite soap. This gasoline soap is the secret of all dry cleaning.
 A package of Solvite soap contain ing directions for home dry cleaning costs little at any drug, grocery or department store. Dry clean out doors or away from flame.-Adv.
