pot generally, because OF the blight
ing, debasing effect OF Prohibition in
Canada. These articles appear even
in the church papers. Therefore,
while we in Canada know OF the in
calculabe benefits inuring from Pro-
hibition, the British public mind is
being poisoned by an infamous cam
pagn of lies and Misrepresentation,
and, instead OF being an object lesson
OF the good of Prohibition, Canada
has been represented as horrible
example of the evils of that un-British
undcmocratic liberty dcstroyng enor-
nifty called Prohibition. This must
be offset. The success OF the cause,
the honor of our nation, demands
that the truth be told
In Scotland.
The next great local option cam
paign takes place in Scotland this year.
Gables are being received imploring
help. Three years ago we sent four
men from Canada as our contribution
TO our Scottish comrades, and they
rendered invaluable service. In the
Scottish fight what is needed, is just
the message that Canada can give;
the truth that we can tell. Men, ma
terial, facts, figures from the United
States are not a 1.-THE as valuable as if
from Canada.
Australia
In the recent fight in New Zealand
one OF the main assets OF the liquor
interests was an ex-Canadian minister
OF the gospel, who eloquently depicted
the awful effects of Prohibition in
Canada To this. unfortunately, there
was no offset-no Canadian voice was
heard Lies from Canada won the
fight for booze, whereas the truth from
Canada would have meant victory for
Prohibition. Campaigns are on now
in two Australian states and the work
ers there arc hungry for just the help
that could and should come from this,
the most important and influential
member of the imperial family over
seas dominions.
South Africa
South Africa just now affords one
OF the greatest opportunities for the
passing OF local option law For the
first time the Dutch church, lining up
with the English-spcaking churches
has declared for Prohibition. The
wine interests are making ire
mendous fight because OF the, fact that
recently they have planted vast
acreage OF grapes. The forces there
want organizing help and literature.
L they can put up proper campaign,
local option is an immediate posi-
bility, as stepping stone to national
Prohibition. aH1.'
India
India is aflame with Prohibition en-
thusiasm which. il rightly informed
and directed, will make for the eman-
cipation OF that land and yet retain
it as an integral, loyal part of the
British Empire. But in this very
movement there is an element of dan
ger and disintegration from the lack
of that note that Canada could best
supply.

paddock BUSINESS IN
new YORK LOOKING UP
Drys Plan to Decorate Twenty to
Thirty places" With Pad
locks for One Year.
200 AFFIDAVITS ON TAP
Federal Dry Authorities Aver
Some of the Joints Are
Old Offenders.

According TO an announcement by
the legal department of federal Pro-
hibition headquarters for New York
state, permanent injunction proceedings
will be brought in the federal district
court i'll April to paddock for one year
20 OF 80 wcll-known cabarets or res
taurants along Broadway and environs
for alleged repeated violations of the
Nolstead act.
Palmer Garfield OF the legal depart
ment of the federal Prohibition head
quarters, said that he has 200 afidavits
from the police and 300 from federal
agents of violations in these places, and
that some of them are listed from three
10 sever violations according to court
records including state and federal
jurisdiction. Many OF the places Mr..
Garfield said, have been served with
temporary injunctions.
The injunctions will be invoked under
the paddock section of the Nolstead law.
The Paradise restaurant, formerly
known as Reisenweber was close! in
this manner some time ago and three
appeals have been taken from this in
junction order, all being denied.
Because of the importance OF the 20
or 80 places against which the injunc-
ton proceedings will be tried, the cases
have been placed on the calendar ahead
of 200 old proceedings which have been
pending for more than a year.
Mr.. Garfield said he had every reason
to believe that with the exception of a
few of these cases the proceedings will
be successful.

n. J. HIGH COURT UPH0LDS
VALIDITY OF STATE DRY LAW
Case, State VS.. James Freulli,
Was Brought on Writ of
Certiorari.
BOOZE SELLING, CHARGE
Court Held Not Necessary to
Specify in Indictment Kind
of Liquor Sold.

The constitutionality OF the New
Jersey Prohibition act, chapter 25s, P.
l.. 1922. p. 6I5. was affirmed by the New
Jersey Supreme Court November term,
1922. Justices kalisch. Black and katz-
cnbaeh sitting The opinion was written
by Justice kalisch.
The case was State rs. James Freulli
on a writ OF eertiorari attacking the
validity of an Indictment for selling
liquor in Essex County. The court held
that it was unnecessary i'll the indict-
ment 20 specify the kind of liquor sold
and upheld both the Prohibition en-
forcement act and the non-bcverage act
which specify: The word liquor shall
be sufficient description OF any or all
OF thu liquors or liquids defined in this
act" To quote the learned justices
words
Whether the liquid sold was
water or milk and was sold as such,
or Vas sold under the denomina-
nation of whisky or gin is OF no
importance so long as the liquid
contained one-hali OF pereentum
of alcohol by volume and was sold
for beverage purposes.
The court oyerruled the defendants
counscls connection that the indictment
was defective in that ii failed to specify
the name or names OF the party or
parties to whom TIE liquor was sold.
This was held TO be unnecessary Since
the allegation was neither descriptive of
nor OF the essence OF the offense
charged
The indictment was quashed, how
ever. for technical error of the prose-
cutor not in any way affecting the Pro-
hibition act III that it failed to specify
that the liquor was sold for beverage
purposes" and therefore deprived the
accused OF his constitutional right to be
informed of the nature and cause of
the accusation. The court held that the
clause for beverage purposes consti-
tutes the very essence of the offense'
nasmueh as there is a legitimate traffic
in liquors for non-heverage purposes.

VETS DEFEATED IN WASHINGTON
Sought to Substitute Volstead Law
For Present Bone Dry Law in
Order to Legalize Medicinal
Whisky"

In the last session of the Washing
ton State Legislature recently adj
iourned the liquor interests made two
attacks ON Prohibition. One bill was
designed to repeal the Prohibition law
and furnish nothing in its place. The
other bill repealed the law and sub
stituted for it the Nolstead act, the
effect OF which would have been to put
Intoxicating liquor back into the hands
of doctors and druggists.
Former Prohibition laws in the state
OF Washington allowed doctors to pre-
scribe and druggists to carry intoxi-
eating liquor. The abuse and viola
ton incident to this privilege was the
principal reason for the enactment of
the present bone dry law" which pro-
hibits the possession of Intoxicating
liquor in any form or quantity by any
person except an ordained minister,
priest or rabbi for sacramento pur-
poses only.
Both these wet bills were quickly
killed.
Superintendent George d. Conger OF
the Anti-Saloon League OF that state
promoted the introduction of one bill
relating to stills, which bill simply
closed a small gap i'll the law. 1t was
passed with only two votes against

AKRON JAIL "HOTEL"
Closes. mo BUSINESS

The hotel located in the corridor
of the jail of Akron, Ohio, is about to
close its doors, says the Akron Beacon
of March s. The Beacon describes
this hotel as Akrons oldest where
guests of every professional rank and
from every state i'll the Union have
visited at one time or another. Its
registry shows that only 1873 guests
have been accommodated since jan
uary |.
1--WE can't run on that" was the
comment of Capt. Marvin Galloway.
The drop i'll patronage police say,
is the result of Prohibition and the
deadly fluid now takes its place in
the underworld markets. The most
recent cut in the night patronage po-
lice believe, followed the death of Joe
Malone. war veteran, who was a rcgu-
lar patron until one night two weeks
ago he imbbed too freely of dena-
tured alcohol and fell dead in the lob
by of the Jail hotel.
Ten years ago, police say, the nightly
guests at the Jail hotel frequently num-
bered 80 to 40. The average now is
five. Older members of the police
department say they can remember
when as high as Is men slept on the
TOP of the cells because the corridor
was too crowded by their associates.

Big ISSUE IN 1924

In an interview given the New York
Tribune of March II, Senator William
Z. Borah declared that Prohibition
will be an issue in the next presiden-
tial campaign and that in his opinion it
will have to be squarely met. He
said:
Many people would like to keep
it on the back OF the stage, but it
will not stay there. 1t is. right to
the front. 1t is very perplexing
issue and it is likely to mix things
up next year. | believe that the
Republicans will take the dry end
il it remains an issue as il bids
fair to do. l think President
Harding from what he has said
is inclined to be dry. The people
as a whole are not i'll a mood to
sidestep the Prohibition issue.
That is where the people are
ahead OF their leaders.

Canada stands today at the gateway
OF moral opportunity, with possibilities
before her, for the good or i'll of
humanity, such as have been seldom,
if ever, offered to any nation or peo-
pie.
Seven OF the nine provinces of Can
ada have provincial Prohibition of the
sale OF Intoxicating liquor. In two
provinces liquor is still legally sold.
Manufacture is permitted in, and ex-
port from, any part of Canada. We
arc thus, in measure, demonstrate
ing a practical application OF tire high
est ideals of citizenship and excmpli-
lying i'll part of our nation how a
modern democracy may deal with an
age-long evil that has defied other sys-
tens and methods.
AT the same time through 1egalizcd
manufacture, import, and export we
are becoming possibly the creates t
factor in the organized campaign, by
international liquor interests to break
down Prohibition in the United States
of America. Canadian soil is today
being used as a vantage ground from
which organized gangs carrying on of
fensiye operations against the admin
istration and constitution of a neigh
Dor nation. Canadian distillers. i'm
porters and dealers i'll liquor are
supplying intoxicants to rum-run-
ners; government officials, acting
under our law, facilitate their activ-
tiles, and clearance papers are given
to shipments of liquor, knowing that
such liquor is to be used in defiance
of the law OF the United States and
for the debauching OF its citizens !;
while enormous shipments OF Can
adam liquor arc being made to the
West Indies, the great bulk OF which
is afterwards smuggled into the United
States.
Further, Canadian dstillers and
brewers are seeking new avenues of
trade, particularly i'll Africa, South
America and the Orient; thus directly
competing with missionary effort con-
Quoted by the churches of Canada in
these lands. Whether we will it or
not, Canada is being given a world
place in the development OF civiliza-
ton, both for good and evil.
The alertness and activity OF the
forces for evil add to the obligation
upon the part OF the Christian citi-
zenship OF Canada to rally Loyalty and
literally to the support of organized
effort to counterfeit the evil and ad-
vance the good.
Canada and the Empire
What has been said applies with
peculiar force as regards the position
OF Canada within the empire.
In Britain
We have abundant evidence OF sys-
tematic aggressive effort to discredit
Prohibition and, incidentally. Canada,
in the Motherland. British papers are
full OF news items and correspondence
purporting to show how crime, drunk
enness and disorder have been in

DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and sulphur
Recipe and Nobdy Will
Know

The use OF Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded gray hair TO its natur-
al color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used il to keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streakcd appearance
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation. improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon TO restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen
sponge or soft brush with IL and draw
this through your hair. taking one
strand at a time. by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, il becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
