LEAGUE CRIES MONEY

The Anti Saloon league, while not in- dorsing the Tinkham programme, has |como to Congress. It is aware that mones put prohibition into effects and
 holds that money, in this day can se-
 cure reasonable enforcement of the statutes. It asks for increased appro- lpr.ations for the employment of addi- tional officers, and for amendments to the code which would more easily open the homes of the people and permit
 the search of automobiles withoat war rant. The Anti Saloon league would force the government of Mexico. to impose prohibition on it's people, or at least in the states contiguous to the border line. IL would make identical require ments of Canada and Cuba, and would imm ediateiy declare a state of Srohibi- ton in the Philippine islands and other remote possessions.
 Particular resorts sucn as Tia Juana, over which the United States has no control, the Anti-saloon league would Shut down" immediately. Further more, the Anti Saloon league would in- sist that the flag of England. or the flag of France, or the flag of any other country, extend no immunity to those under its folds while within the threo mile limit of the American coast
 LAW IS IGNORED
 Regarding the promise of the officers of the league that the adoption of pro- hibtion would not only put an end to the traffic in liquor. but would eliminate the inclination on the part of the sinful to engage in sinful pursuits, that crime of all nature would no more dsturb-the officers now have little to say except to, make denial of what they tentatively premised,
 Police officers in all large cities of the United States admit that they cannot cope with the situation. that crime is ever increasing, and that the nature Of the prevailing crime is more shocking than in other days.

What is the effect of correcting
short-sightedness of myopia.
The distant vision of the patient
is improved much or little, depend
ing upon the extent to which he was
nyopic.

beyond his range of vision.
What is "Hypernetropia?" ?"
Far-sightedness, the opposite OF
near sightednesst Near-sight il
