The debate was similar 10 a church

Washington. d. c., June 27.
The House to-day passed the first
amendment to the Volstead law when
1t approved legislation to stop the
beer leak" found in the original
measure by former Attorney General
the Senate by Senator Willis (Ohio)
and in the House by Representative
Campbell (Kan.), absolutely prohibits
the prescription of beer as medicine,
which Mr.. Palmer ruled was permissi-
BILE under the Volstead law.
The vote was $50 to SO. Under the
parliamentary situation a two-thirds
majority was required for passage.
The vote was the first test of prohibit
tion strength in the House this session
and indicates that the dry majority is
slightly larger than ever. The bill now
goes to the Senate, which is expected
to pass it this week.
In addition to prohibiting medicinal
beer. the bill gives to the prohibition
commissioner power to limit whislSey
prescriptions to 100 every 90 days and
to stop manufacture and importation
OF any intoxicating liquors until the
supply in this country held under Gov
ernment supervision for non-beverage
uses is exhausted. Residents of the
Virgin Islands and Hawaii also will
be brought under prohibition by the
bill.

borrowed through Issuance OF Treasury

merely temporary. The ordinary re-

as the only true representation OF how
the Government has arranged its finan-

TACT THE SUCCESSFUL QUALITY

TACT is the most outstanding quality OF the sue
cessfu salesman.
No two people can be approached and convinced
in the way. Each requires individual treat
ment-a special appeal that hts softly around his
personality.
Hence there is no cut-and-dried approach or
line OF argument that be applied to all pros
pective customers.
First OF all, salesman must know his goods.
Then he must know human nature.
Delicate but firm nsstence will cnch a sale to
the wavering buyer who does not know what he
wants.
But the same method may offend the buyer who
has firmly decided what he wants and is looking
for it,
A smile and courteous manner is always a
good opening.
The matter of appeal can best be judged by de-
veoping the power Of observation OF those who
come into your store
Present all selling arguments through your pros
poets eyes.
The best way to make the insurance idea ap-
peang to gambler is to offer to bet him the
amount Of the policy against the first premium that
he will die within year.
When the prospect has children the strongest in
surance appeal is protection OF his family.
If you guess what line of work your prospect
follows, how much he earns, and what pleases OF
dispeases him. the sale is within your reach.
Hence the good salesman is detective.
Strive to develop your powers OF observation and
deduction.
This may be an old story-but its good and
that's why it's old instead OF dead
