RUM J0INTIST KIRES
WORKKOUSE PR0)

Adam Meyer is former Cleveland
saloonkeeper. Meyer was found guilty
of violating the Federal Prohibition
laws and sentenced to the workhouse
for thirty days by Federal Judge
Westenhaver. 1t developed that
Meyer hired man TO take his place
in the workhouse while he, Meyer,
went on a Vacation" When the sup
posed Meyer reached the workhouse
and gave his name several convicts
said they knew Adam Meyer, the sa
loonkeeper, and this was not the man.
An investigation was started by the
superintendent and it was discovered
that the man in the workhouse was
not the Meyer who had been SEN
fenced
The substitute finally confessed that
he made arrangements to serve the
sentence of the former saloonkeeper.
He said he was out of job and that
Meyer hired him to do time for him
in the workhousc. The substitute
was taken out of the workhouse and
put in a cell in the county jail.
The workhousc superintendent inn
mediately checked up his prisoners to
find out whether any other prisoners
might be serving sentence by proxy.
No other cases were discovered.

allowed TO give the reference to my
own communication to the Lancet,
January }. 1920. on The Dietetios OF
CESSATION in which it was shown,
first, that beer contains in alcohol one
OF those substances TO which in 1000
! gave the name OF racial poisons
and, second. that it is destitute OF the
vitamins. precious ingredients for de-
vclopment. and for protection against
and the cure of certain diseases,
which more recent science has dis
covered. 1t is. as | then concluded,
a typical example OF a devitalized,
spoiled, artificial and spurious food"
In the days OF ignorance it was
called liquid bread. Today We know
that it is no more than poisoned
wafer
The verdict of all existing scientific
investigation is unanimous that beer
is worthless for maintaining health,
for promoting growth or curing dis

and plenty of beer, and if they want

NOT IN MICHIGAN
Attorney General of That State Rules
Against Beer

Acknowledgement Wiley, of Miohi-
gan. has rendered an opinion to the
effect that beer can not be manufac-
tured and sold in that state for me-
dicinal purposes. He declares that
any inclusion of beer within the ex-
ception of either the Prohibition Con
stitutional Amendment or the Miehi-
gan Prohibition law must be predi-
Gated upon the recognition by the
medical profession that beer is a
medicine.
The attorney general goes on to say
that beer is not medicine and never
has been. 1t has always been and is
a beverage, and that it follows that
beer can not be manufactured in the
state of Michigan to be exported for
medicinal use, or to be imported into
the state.

MILK VS.. BOOZE
Big Increase in the Consumption of
Milk Under Prohibition

According to figures from the gov
eminent department at Washington
the average American today drink,
twice as much milk as his father did
In 1920 the country consumed A gal
longs OF milk per capita, and that die
not include the milk used in ice cream
cheese, and butter.
That is more than twice as much al
coholic liquor as the average Ameri
can ever consumed in any form. The
record consumption OF beer was il
1ol7. and then it was fraction les:
than -1S gallons per capita, and the
same year the consumption of all in
toxicants was under 20 gallons.
Commenting on the fact that Amer
leans have quit drinking booze anc
are drinking more milk than ever be
fore, the Lima Gazette says;
Tell this to the cross-eyed NOR
alists who insist that there is
"more drinking than ever before,
under Prohibition" There is
more drinking, indeed-of milk.
1t is the natural and inevitable
substitute for beer and wine. A
sensible and healthy nation has
already made the discovery, and
acting on it, is steadily growing
more sensible and healthy. Beer
played hob with peoples kidneys
So did wine, Whisky frazzled
their nerves and stomachs. Milk
is good for nerves and digestion.
1t puts flesh on bones and color
in checks.
People talk about "home-brew"
more than they do about, milk,
just as people gossip more about
vice than virtue; but its easy to
see, in either case, what the real
situation is.

EMPLOY PARROTS
New Scheme Worked by Oklahoma
Law Violators

Oklahoma bootleggers have found
a new way 10 cvade the dry law. They
are employing parrots as "lookouts."
Charles Campbell. OF Oklahoma
City, heading squad of deputy sher
ifs, raidcd a residence. As they APP
preached the house, Campbell heard
someone yell in shrill voice, "Herc
comes the law. here comes the law
Campbell and his party searched
high and low and could not find any
one. Then the officers went to the
rear of the house and again the voice
was heard, and this time it was the
query, rs the law gone YETI"
The deputy sherifs had about
given up hope of finding the man"
when one OF them happened to glance
up a tree, and there on the limb was
a parrot, repeating the warnings its
owner had taught ii.

cation by Bureaucrats

duces and treys of officialdom who
are making a lot of rules which
permit soft drink saloons to sell
booze i'll bottles labelled 25 per
cent alcohol for medicinal pur-
poses only And there are lot
of crooked saloonkeepers getting
away with it, too, with lot of
crooked doctors and druggists in

How do they do it? We'll, have
been through it for year and it
is too much for me.

ALL ARE WET

Aside from the regular wet organi-
cations which have been in operation
in the country for years, such as vari-
Gus associations OF brewers and dis
tillers, the Personal Liberty League,
etc, none of which have been dis
banded, there are now eight new wet
organizations, associations or leagues,
working for the repeal of the dry law
and the overthrow of the Eighteenth
Amendment Here arc the names,
and there will probably be additions
from week to week:
The Association Opposed to Ma
tional Prohibitions.
The Association Opposed to the
Federal Prohibition Amendment.
The National Order of Camels.
The National Constitutional Lib
erty League.
The Anti Blue Law Movement
The Sphinx.
The elf-Dctcrmination League of
Liberty.
The Order of Good Fellows of
America.
The number OF these wet organiza-
tions will be increased from time to
time as brewers and liquor dealers
put up the money to finance them.
All, however, have the same goal, and
that is the return OF the saloon.

cided falling off in practically every
kind of crime in nearly every section

prison population in the 10 middle

per cent. Wardens and other officials
cited Prohibition more than any other
cause for the decrease.

MUST BE PATIENT
William Howard Taft

We must in the best of faith dc
everything possible and reasonable to
enforce the law The published re-
ports of fragrant violations give an
unfair view of the situation. The
saloon has gone and all admit that
to be a great advance. We must not
be impatient. The effective organi-
cation of a trained and competent
police force for such service is a
matter OF time and experiment.

Big Reduction Next Year.
Chairman Fordney of the House

formal report submitted to the
House yesterday. estimated that the

In the opinion OF the commit
tee" Fordney said in his report,
the exacting of the present ex-
cessive sums of taxes from the
country contributes in no small de-
gree to the depressing influences
under which business and Industry
in general are staggering as an af-
termath of the world war. The
nation Is now passing through the
trying period Of liquidation, and re-
adjustment The reduction OF the
tax burdens is essential to business
recovery. and such reduction can
only be based on a rigid enforce
ment Of a policy OF the strictest
economy in the running expenses
OF the government"

the new bill next year. the report
stated:
