DANIESoN

r ner Woodward imposed a minimum
 fine on each count and costs, after
 wards remitting all but the actual costs, which amounted to S14.24. This amount went to the game protectors,
 who were responsible for bringing. the
 case, Frank WhippIe appearing in court, Mr. Whipple being one of County Game Warden Harry Batteys s 1 assistants.
 In discussing the case Tuesday af- ] ternoon, Prosecuting Attorney Arthur G. Bill stated that he did not believe 1 that the law should have been invoked Ito punish MT. Smith, who simply shot l birds that were destroying as much as half a bushel of corn a day on him; l that he acted merely to protect his
 property from destruction, and that it
 was not likely that the law protecting
 bluejays was contemplated as a means of punishing men who killed | them to prevent their destroying
 property. As MT. Smith had pleaded 1 guilty, however, there was nothing left to do but fine him, and there was no way of denying the game officials l the.r costs taxed in the case.
 Judge Woodward declined to make
 any comment on the case.
 l Here is some sad news for those who may have held the hope that the ] physicians would be a refuge of last
 resort for them when prohibition was i in full effect and a hankering, or a l real need for liquor, presented itself. Only one of the physicians of the
 town of Killingly has applied for a permit to prescribe intoxicating h- 1 ql1ors for medicinal purposes, or for
 any other purpose.
 The Bulletin correspondent can 1 vassed them all Tuesday to ascertain i just what they had done about the l matter. Invariably the answer was i that, while others elaborated upon the
 bald negative. One physician in e1- ] blaming why he had not applied for a 1 permit said: Tt is not, as is trying to 1 be made out, that there is no demand l forsthe writing of prescriptions for li- 1 qucrs to be used for medicinal pur- 1 poses; the point is that won't fuss l with any such foolishness as now sur rounds the writing of such prescrip- l tions' Naturally, there will be cur 1 ioS ty- as to which particular physician 1 made that statement, but The Bu1le- l tin representative. in asking the l question, relative to the information 1 wanted, guaranteed that no doctor i would be quoted in connection with | the use of his name as to any state
 ment he might make.
 Much has been printed in metropol- ;, itan papers during the past few days
 relative to the prescribing of liquors i for patients suffering with influenza, ! which disease. happily. has not made i Its appearance in this territory this winter and some concessions have l been made along the line of making it easier to get liquors to be used medi- cinally by such patients. What might I happen in the unfortunate event of 1 influenza becoming epidemic here, in I so far as the procuring of liquors as a l treatment for 1t is concerned, is left to the inauguration.
 Aside from whatever value liquor may have in treating patients i'll with 1 i,lfilienza it may be stated that Kill i Iingiv's physicians have not placed tn enselves in 9 position where they l will be pestered. as time soss on. by , thosa who, legitimatefv- or otherw ise, ] would have them saactifv their real or ] imagined :reAd of intoxicants. It looks Enow as if "JakeE'' will have to remain 1 the of7eial beverage of an into1ieat- l ing nature of those weo are f and i.need a st:nuiant containing alcohol,
 or rho are not Ill but have a craving
 to be.
