tim of q false marriage. During a quarrel
the sister is fatally shot by the man who

CHICAGO. Sept. 9-The business
in fake prescriptions for medicinal
booze IS running neck and neck with
that Of printing yellow labels for ell
legged Gordon gin.
About the same number of pints
of bonded whisky are being secured
or the fake permits as on the regu-
lation blanks legally issued to ply
sicians. according to prohibition en-
forcement officials here.
Some 100000 pints thus secured
found its way down parched throats
during the last year in Illinois alone,
official figures show. And another
1900, 600 bottles were sold TO persons
more or less i'll who got the little
permits from physicians in the sane
toned way.
In spite Of elaborate precautions
taken to prevent forgeries, this big
leak in the prohibition system goes
or unchecked because Of the absence
of official machinery to enforce the
laws on medicinal booze, prohibition
agents declared.
