lions Of about $4,000 from the HORNED
Packing Company, Of which he was
controller, and go free.
Thomson was not worried over his diff

and he likes publicity.
The Oakdale Farms, which Thomson
established here, and the packing COM
pany's name were mentioned in the first
lines OF every statement made.
Jay c. .Horme1 vice president Of tbs

VAR ON BEER
As 4 MEDICINE

WASHINGTON. July 1s.-The anti
Saloon league, anxious that no inroads be
made Oh Congress by the vets in the de-
veIopment campaign Of liberalization Of
prohibition. has called its national exc
cutive committee into action.
The committee has addressed a COM
munication to every member Of the Senate
urging passage Of the pending bill 20 pre-
hibit the use Of beer for medicinal pur-
poses Members of the executive com
mittee are Frederick Fosdick chairman !;
Ernest II. Cherrington, secretary, and p.
A. Baker. general superintendent. After
pointing out the emergency character Of
the anti-beer BILL the executive commit
tee members say
Failure to prohibit the use Of beer
as medicine, never listed as such In the
United States pharmacacopOeia, will re-
open the breweries and subject the States
which have not yet abandoned its medic
inal use to a food of beer, which would
at once become a national rcandaL
1.-THE beverage use OF liquor cannot be
successfully prohibited unless its Law
full manufacture and use are properly reg
ulated
There is not an effective prohibition
law In any Of the States that does not
control the prescribing Of liquor for
medicinal purposes and thus prevent its
diversion to beverage uses.
"The presence Of millions Of gallons Of
distilled liquors in the distilleries and
Government warehouses is a constant tenn
tation to evade the law and fully justi-
fies the Limitation upon importation and
further manufacture that is provided in
the bill.
1.-THE lack Of Jurisdiction of the courts
in Hawaii and the Virgin islands t. en-
force the eighteenth amendment and the
national prohibition act presents an emer-
gency apparent to all.
1.-THE charge that the bill is drastic and
fanatical is without foundation. 1t dem
onstrates the lengths to which the OPP
ponents Of prohibition will go In trying
to misrepresent it and create prejudics
against its honest enforcement The or
ganized effort to discredit prohibition and
nulnfy the law presents a challenge to
Congress and to every loyal citizen to
maintain the law and help secure its en-
forcement."

Montreal Confronted with
 Strike of the Unemployed

MONTREAL, Jan. 27.-Montreal is confronted with a strike of the unemployed. Refusal of many former service men, out of work to accept employment offered by the city has produced the paradoxical situation.
 The unemployed marched on res taurants demanding food. Later an nouncement was made that the city would find work for all of the mem- bers of the ex-service mems unem- ployed association and would pay them nightly for their labor.
 The unemployed, however, object ed to the work provided, declaring it was only temporary and the pay, 32 F cents an hour, would not en- able them to support their families. They announced their intention of attempting to induce men, who have accepted jobs, to strike
 In their search for free food, the unemployed obtained a meal in one 9 place, but in another the men found police guard and left quietly J. Thompson, chairman of the former service mems organization declared the demonstrations were not officially recognized.

Hot Sulphur Water Used
 On Salt Lakes Streets

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. 2s. A solution of the problem for keep ing streets clean following a snow storm when the snow became caked and slippery has been made here with the aid of hot sulphur water.
 The water is brought into the city from Warm Springs by the tanks used in summer to sprinkle down the dust It is then flushed over the slippery roads and within few minutes the caked snow and ice is melted materially flowing into the gutters.
 The experiment was tried by the city street department, five flushers being used in the work on the main streets of the city. It was stated that the experiment had proved an undisputed success.
