Taxi Business Given
Boost by Prohibition
Speakers at Convention Here Say
Fears Were Groundless

Prohibition has meant the greatest
increase in trade in the history OF the
American taxicab business.
Strange as that may seem members
of the National Taxicab Owners As
ISOLATION of America, holding their
annual convention at the Sherman
hotel today, are agreed that such is
the fact.
And it isn't the midnight moon
shine business either" Roy Payne,
president OF the Topeka (Kan) taxi
company bearing his name, declared
in an informal talk. prohibition
has, on the contrary, meant more
equitable distribution of trade over
the twenty-four hours of the day.

a taxicab owner shivcred in his boots
when Prohibition threatened to take
away this big portion of his business.
But these fears were not based oil

poses OF his money aud the other rea-
lizes the. true value OF responsible
customers. Liquor, IN many cases.
Tor years kept them apart
Labor Likes New Order
What has been the effect of Prohi-
bition on industry and what do the
laboring men think about it? Mr..
Lewis presents the following con-
illusions:
PRODUCTION has been increased aud
this increased production has brought
about increases in wages. The high
cost of living is not the only thing
that has forced wages upward; per
sonal effort has forced profits up and
out OF profits comes increased returns
for the laboring man.
"As stated, the reporter consulted
several working men concerning the
liquor question. In their day they
have been where real wine flowed CO.
piously and of it they drank freely
they have had the same experiences
which other workers and non-work-
ers have had; the tortuons way home,
the searching through the dark, the
unpleasant things which liquor ere
ated in their homes. These men earn
big money today and they know what
to do with it. They see to it that
family obligations are attended to,
that their wages function in their
natural way, that the dollar is a unit
of measuring comfort in the family,
not a medium of personal pleasure
and debauchery.
THE reporter could not talk with
every man i'll Streator He thinks
though. that the men with whom he
did talk are representative workers
Of Streator. 1t may be that it it were
left to a referendum vote that John
world be resurrected, but not through
the efforts OF these men; they would
ask for recount of the ballots
New Day For Laboring Man
In another article of his series
Mr.. Lewis writes:
"The laboring man is now the pos
SCISSOR of what used to be the priv
leges of the rich; automobiles, high
grade clothes, season tickets to. the
theatre, vacations and other things.
His raiment, as the working man
walks down the street will compare
with the best; his shirts are as much
silk as the former wealthy class.
His children, in the grades and the
high school, as far as clothes and
other essentials are concerned, can
not be picked out from the Others"
Churches and Schools Helped
Mr.. Lewis quotes school board
member to the effect that the past
year has brought about great
change in those children whose
fathers have been free from the
liquor traffic. Teachers told him of
the great improvement they have
noticed in the appearance and in the
work of many of their pupils. A
Strcator pastor told the reporter that
great as the material advantages of
Prohibition may be they are not in
comparison with the spiritual good
which has come out OF it.
To the above story the Editor of
the Issue desires to add the following
suggestion: To make Prohibition
more perfect and permanent vote for
endorsed dry legislative candidates

"Voistead has got his trim

served, and it is the first shot
in the coming wet and dry
fight. There will be many
other drys that will bite the

The above is from the Cham
pion of Fair Play. 1t expresses

The VANISHING VACRANT

What has become Of the bum? Why
has the vagrant vanished? Police
officials commenting on the great
change that has come over the land
usually refer to the absence of
tramps since July, 1919. A Peoria
police officer recently said. ITS
made big difference. We used to
have IS to 40 dodgers every night.
This past winter we had only about
a night. | guess when they can't
get the liquor they go to work."
This seemed such a startling stste-
ment that the officer himself as well
as his interviewer became curious to
know whether the records would
bear out the general impression that
the vagrant is vanishing. Getting
down the dusty book in which the
police record the number of men
without means of support who seek
the hospitality of Peoria the officer
read the following.

Famous Old Recipe
for Cough Syrup
Easily and eheaply made ut home,
but Il beats them MI for
quick results.
OO09O0OO0O00G9OSG


Thousands of housewives have found
that they can save two.thirds of the
money usually spent for cough prcpara-
tons, by using the well.known old recipe
for making cough syrup at home. It
is simple and cheap but it has no equal
for prompt results. 1t takes right hold
OF a cough and gives immediate relief,
usually stopping an ordinary cough in
p hours or less.
Get 2la ounces of Pinex from any
druggist, pour it into pint bottle and
add plain granulated sugar syrup to
make full pint. II you prefer, use
clarified molasscs, honey, or corn syrup,
instead cf sugar syrup. Either way, it
tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts
family long time.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
acts, penetrating through every air
passage of the throat and lungs-loos-
ems and raises the phicsm, soothes and
heals the membranes and gradually but
surely the annoying throat tickle and
dreaded cough disappear entirely. Nothing
better for bronchitis, spasmodic Group,
hoarscness or bronchial asthma.
Pinex is special and highly concern
trated compound OF genuine Norway
pine extract, known the world over fer
its healing effect on the membranes.
Avoid disappointment by asking your
druggist for "2lS ounces of Pinex" with
full directions and don't accept anything
else. Guaranteed to give absolute salts
