Is, 1920
ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE
MAN WELL PLEASED
Says the New Law Is Full of Teeth and
Will Help Enforce Nationwide Pro-
hibition-Can't Use Liquor Even for
Medicinal Purposes.

WILMINGTON, Del, March 20.-The
passage of the statewide prohibition
bin in both houses of the Delaware leg.
islature, the law to become effective on
Jan. Is, 1920, is a source of rejoicing
among the dry forces of this state.
"The prohibition bin will back ur
the national government in enforcing
nationwide prohibition, said George
W. Crabbe, state superintendent of the
Anti-sal league of Delaware. sit
is a good bill, full of teeth, as good q
law enforcement measure as any state
in the Union has ever had up to this
time.
Replying to the query as to whether
he thought the exemption of proprietary
medicines and similar compounds might
lead to unfortunate results, Mr.. Crabbe
said that he had no fear of abuse OF
this clause.
'sThc bin allows the manufacture and
sale of flavoring extracts, patented and
proprietary medicines and toilet articles
but prohibits the sale of beer, whisky
and wines, even for medical purposes,
he explained. :" Pure grain alcohol alone
will be obtainable for use in compound
ing medicines, etc.
''The bill is not so strong as the one
we proposed, because several details
were eliminated, such as prohibition OF
the possession of intoxicating liquors
and the seizure. without warrant, OF
the same. But these are minor feature!
and their absence weakcns the act very
little As the law now stands, it is not
unlawful for person to keep intoxicat
ing liquor in his possession, but he can
not make it at home or buy or sell it
The word liquors or intoxicating Ii
quors as used in the act is defined ''tC
include any distilled malt, spirituou:
and vinous, fermented or alcoholic Ii
guilds, and all alcoholic liquids that con
tain one-half of one per centum of al
cohol ty volume, and compounds, wheth
er proprietary, patented or not, whicl
are potable or capable Of being used a.

ton to avoid foreign entanglements
and demonstrated the impossibilitv of
avoiding them if we are to adopt his
other slogan to enlarge constantly our
commercial relations with the world.
Prof. Gittel was a member of the re-
nowned shipping board which, when
finally passed the headwinds and the
storms attendant upon its early days,
accomplished such heroic work on The
seas and made possible the mighty feat
of safely carrying two million soldiers
to the scene of conflict The speaker
therefore, entertained his audience with
an account of the inner workings of
that board and for nearly an hour had
them spell hound with his clear-cut dis
eussion of the topic of the evening
In the minds Of the listeners no mistake
was made by the officers in securing the
speaker for the opening meeting OF
the new organization.
The orchestra gave two other mum
bers which seemed to open to the men
the possibilities in that organization
Then by invitation of the president the
company RECALLED themselves with the
contents Of the well filed tables and fol
an hour or more enjoyed each other 5
society to the full.
The next meeting comes on the third
Wednesday in April and a special com
mittce was announced to have it ir

to have charge of the next three meet

well and strong for years. These clinical
tests, with many other similar ones, have led
authorities to the definite conclusion that this
organic phosphate when taken into the human
system IS actually converted into healthy
body tissue.
Moreover. the real benefits derived from
its are not confined to the mere increase
in weight of thin people. Being an efficient

R. NJ. Bradley Thinks Refor1ner Story
Gave Wrong Impression.

Editor OF Reformer:
When ] sent You letter and petition
to the court relating to the Thompson
Trust, YOU published it with headlines
and leading paragraphs that were entirely
misleading as to what the trustees really
said in the letter and petition that fol
lowed the headlines
Your headlines said:
Thompson Fund Trustees Say They
Intend to Spend Income Regardless OF
Towns Needs"
The trustees made no such statement in
what followed these headlines and have
no such intentions.
In large letters at head OF the leading
article, you said:
Letter from r. NJ Bradley sets forth
his belief that after caring for Direct
Benefciarics Trustees should be allowed
to spend Fund wherever and for whatever
purpose they see fit
| had no such belief and did not set il
forth in the letter referred to or in any
other.
Will you kindly give this letter due
publicity?
