CANADA INCREASES TAX
TO TEN DOLLARS GALLON

The Canadian government has an
nounced that it has fixed tax of ten
dollars a gallon on imported and
Canadian manufactured spirits, which
is an increase of approximately thirty
dollars case on all brands OF wines
and liquors. Immediately Canadian
bootleggers jumped the price of liq-
uor and say it will retail at 500 a
case and that within few months it
will take fifty dollars to buy bottle
of whisky. The action of the govern
ment, while loked for, was not ex-
pected to be so drastic.

GLASGOW VETS, TRUE TO
TYPE, PLAY FOR TIME
Court Grants Interim Injunction
Rendering the Dry Election Inop-
erative

The Glasgow Weekly Herald OF
April , reports an attack i'll the
courts by license holders in certain
wards of Glasgow on the validity of
the poll recently taken which resulted
in dry victory in the areas in which
these license holders are operating
public houses. Those wards affected
are Pollokshieles, Cathcart, Camphill
and Whiteinch in which no license
was carried, and Parkhead in which
there was limiting resolution.
Lord Ashmore in the Court of Ses-
sions granted an interim interdict.
The Herald says: "The effect of
this interim injunction will be that
the results of the local veto polls in
the areas affected will be imperative
at the licensing court which meets
on April Il. An appeal from the de-
cision will no doubt be taken but it
can not be disposed of before the sit
ting of the Licensing Court SO that
so far as that court is concerned, the
interim interdict will be effective"
The drys of Scotland are having
the same experience as the drys of
America have had wherever they
have been successful at the polls in
that they will have to fight their bat
ties all over in the courts. the booze
seller never willing to abide by the
decision of the people.

PROHIBITION DOUBLES N. Y
CONSUMPTION OF SWEETS

According to an item in The Stew
ard, a publication devoted to the in
terests of hotels and restaurants in
New York, "the passing of King Al
cohol has more than doubled the con-
sumption of sweets and pastry in the
dining rooms of big hotels" The
publication goes on to say that the
chefs of the big New York hotels
have been forced to go more deeply
than ever into this branch of cook
ing and this branch is now given
more apace in their kitchens with
more than twice the number of work
ers formerly employed. Prohibition
is given as the cause.

spondent American Issue)
The Swedish party i'll the Finnish
Parliament has just received a severe
blow for their wet plans. They have
through the Swedish press for long
time kept up publicity campaign
with the aim of creating dissatisfac-
ton with the dry law. OF course
they have been very dry in their talk
they have said over and over again
that they were dissatisfied with Pro-
hibtion not because they would ia
vor drunkenness, Oh, no. But they
feared that the Prohibition law, SO
badly kept as they said it was, would
ruin" the people, it would lead to
more and more smuggling and home
distlling, etc. Just in the interests
of temperance, they have claimed that
the Prohibition law must be abolished
and a strict system of dispensing
liquor to the people. something like
the Bratt system in Sweden must be
established.
The propaganda came to its cul-
mination in the Finnish Parliament
on the Goth of April. The proposal
was only to submit the matter TO a
specially appointed committee for in
vestigation But even that mild form
OF the evil intent failed utterly. >Tre
Parliament voted it down by to /
The fact has again been demon
strated, that in spite of continuous
lyings and misrepresentation of the
Prohibition law i'll Finland and its
workings, the people are solidly be-
hind it through their chosen repre-
sentatives.
The dry law in Finland will not be
abolished On the contrary it will
by and by make Finland really dry
The temperance friends have re-
Gently had the pleasure of seeing DR.
Nils Lakka, the successor of DR.
Matti-Helenius Seppala, called to the
high post of Cultus- minister, or Chief
for ecclesiastic and educational affairs
One of the wet newspapers at
Stockholm remarked the other day
in reporting about DIR. Likkas' APP
pointment as a member of the new
Finnish cabinet, that it was evident
that the main object for govern
ment, where Nils Liakka is mem
Der, is to enforce the dry law.
The outlook for a more effective
enforcement of Prohibition in Finland
is very promising.

he has not seen. He was left in a
New York orphanage, Us E. 68th
street, New York He was brought
to Wisconsin as boy and adopted.
AS soon as he had funds to begin
search, he started to look for his
mother. Despite repeated failures he
is determined to find her. He says
intuition told him that she is still
alive. Her name at that time was
Mary Ambrose.

/ that the patients who elamof for beer
arc not numbered among the sick,
but among the thirsty.
Is the demand reinforced by those
who would have To prescribe the
brewery product? We trow not The
medicinal value OF beer is repudiated
and its use discountenanccd by thou
sands OF the most eminent physicians,
surgeons and scientists, among them
such distinguished authorities as the
president, vice president and members
of the convention having i'll charge
the ninth revision OF the United
States Pharmacopoeia; editors OF
medical journals; professors OF
twcnty-three medical schools and col
leges; physicians connected with the
| Rockefeller Institute. the Burke and
Mayo foundations and Life Extension
Institute
The cold fact is that the propa-
ganda to show that the medical pro-
fession generally favors prescribing
liquor in any form is the falsest OF
myths. Under the law no physician
can prescribe whisky or brandy for
medicinal use without federal per-
mit yet of the 1907 physicians in
the United States, 70 per cent - viz
tually four cut of five - have taken
out no permits There are twenty
four states i'll which not single ply
stefan has a permit to write pre-
scription for booze in any form.
But perhaps the demand comes
from the druggists who presumably
would fill the beer prescriptions
Again we are baffled. for here is the
recent declaration OF their national
body:
The executive committee OF the
National Association OF Retail
Druggists OF the United States
desire to place on record their
conviction that the manufacture
and sale OF beer and other malt
| liquors for medicinal purposes
should not be permitted Malt
liquors have never been listed i'll
the United States Pharmacopoeia
as official medicinal remedies.
Not from the sick. not from the
physicians, not from the druggists,
comes the beseeching cry for the dis
pensing of beer as medicine, by the
bottle, case or keg. The suppliants
are not pale convalescents and earn
est practitioners OF science, one per-
ceives, but melancholy brewers and
ambitious saloonkcepers and gloomy
bar habitues whose ailments do not
yield to the lawful brew and who
yearn to submit their symptoms to
amiable doctors possessing Palmer
permits.

WoMAN's MASS MEETING.

The community advisory board Of the

of Pensacola SO that they may thor
oughly understand the working of the
board and its plans for future useful
ness.

burden on the Salvation Army, and the
board wishes to secure the support Of
the women of Pensacola both for the
service Of the board to the city and the

ROAD COMMITTEE
TO MAKE REPORT
At Regular Monthly Meeting Board Of
County Commissioners This Morn
ing.

A written report from the committee
making recent Study of the roads on
the East Coast Will be received by the
board of county commissioners at it's
regular monthly meeting at the court
house this morning at $50 o'clock. The
study of the roads was made to better
determine materials to be used for the
building of Eescambia county's new
rodas.
The comittee authorized to make a
study Of the roads was composed of
T. L. Cant, chairman of the Joint Good
Roads commission, Winston e. Wheat,
county engineer, and H. E. Candy,
county commissioner.
The committee made partial report
to the joint commission meeting Satur-
day, reviewing the roads travelled and
what had been found on some of the
types of roads travelled over. The COM
mittee reported as a result of their OBJ
servation that they did not favor the
plan of putting brick on a sand founda-
ton without some base material UNI
derneath, nor that Of asphalt blocks
laid on sand without a substantial base
under them. The committee In it's par
tial report made note of the fact that
while many of the roads of South Flor
ida justified themselves in the devel-
opment Of the country they are of too
temporary nature to justify Escam-
bia county in building similar ones
with thirty year bonds. Escambia coun-
tvs road building program with thirty
year bonds is planned for roads of per-
manency. The final report Of the com
mittee is expected to give recommends
tons regarding the type of roads to be
built in Escambia with the bond funds.

hINb SEhlJii -
The Swiss people were the first
to date their coinage-400 years
ago.
Ever since then, the problem
has been how to date the dollar
up with the biggest dollars
worth.
For example: you couldn't eX-
pect 1921 dollar to take a 1920
price ticket out and show it a
good time. You have got to
introduce it into store where
the new prices prevail if you
hope to accomplish good cur
rent value.
At this store you can buy good
clothes at 1915 prices-that
statement is closed to argument
but open to investigation.
Are you willing to be led to
water?
Remember, we can't make you
drink-unless you want to.

ADVISORY BOARD
OFFERS new PLAN
Suggests That Contribution Be Spread
Over Years Donation to Army.

The Community Advisory Board of
the Salvation Army yesterday issued
the following statement:
A meeting of the advisory board was
held yesterday morning at the cham
Der of commerce to hear reports from
Chairman Wentworth of the finance
committee and to look into the work
Of the service committee. Mr.. Went
worth in reporting the success of the
appeal so far, said that approximately
s1100 was now in the hands of the
treasurer, T.. II. Malone. He reported
that, while the response to the call
was good, yet the depression in trade
and fear of strikes was keeping liberal
givers from donating cash, ii was the
intention of the finance committee 10
make proper representation of the
needs of the Salvation. Army to the
public so that every one approached
would give their donation in the form
of a pledge for the year, giving small
part in cash and pledging the remain
der in suitable payments so that the
army could confidently look forward TO
proper finance without laying a hard
burden on anyone. Mr.. Wentworth
was altering his plans of appeal IN
Pursuance of the request or many Of
the business men in Pensacola who,
while perfectly willing to donate lib
orally TO the Salvation Army, yet
thought they could be even more lib
eral If given the opportunity of
spreading their Donation over the
years work.
Mr.. Wentworth is strengthening his
committee and has worked out very
complete plan to take care OF this
phase of the work, he is assured of
the strongest support from the public.
1t was determined to hold a mass
meeting for 'the women of Pen
sacola. many of whom have as yet not
had an opportunity TO hear of the
work of the board at first hand. and
who were anxious to assist the board
in their work both for service and
finance Speakers from the advisory
board including George Wentworth
and r. A. McGrath. will present the
work Of the board to the meeting
which will be held on Thursday after
noon at o'clock in the chamber Of
commerce. All women's clubs and So
cieties are requested to notify their
members to be present and cordial
invitation is given to any women who
feel interested enough in the board s
work and the welfare of their COM
munity to come and hear what is
really a new departure in welfa.'e
work so far as country districts are
concerned.
