taste-but none of them contained
any dangerous elements such as ether
or wood alcohol,
Perhaps the most surprising OF my
experiences was the openness with
which bootlegging is conducted. In
stead of encountering mysterious
codes and signal systems, found
customers as a rule telephone to their
bootlegger and order what they want
without calling a bottle of whisky by
a code number or name, but by
specifying the particular brand OF
whiskey in plain English.
Likewise bootleggers in soliciting
business, frequently carry their
stocks with them and are prepared
to make delivery on the spot. At
other times they bring or mail to
prospective buyers detailed price lists.
Send Sales Letter.
One such price list was given me
in New York office. 1t had been
sent through the mail and was fol
lowed up by a salesman, who came to
book the order. With the prices came
this sales letter.
THE enclosed list Of unusually fine
Scotch, Irish and Rye whiskies. to-
gether with the three highest quality
vintage champagnes and a large and
rare assortment of the most popular
liquors is now available to our Gus
toners at prices which, when the
quality of the liquors is considered,
will be found quite reasonable.
las we urge every one to take ad-
vantage Of this opportunity to lay in
a stock of their favorite brands, as
it is doubtful when a chance like this
will present itself in the future.

In the meantime, the most effective
means found for cheating time in the
manufacture Of whisky is by resort
ing to aeration. Pumping air into
whisky in an open container causes
rapid oxidation, and produces much
the same result as that obtained by
aging. The fact alcohol evaporates
very rapidly initiates against the
popularity of this method. and it's
use is chiefly confined to a few high

tistic urge and refuse to sell alcohol
and water as whisky

 we na,e made our central I.ua.l- u,al poslllvu strong. Our buuget po- slllon Is very good. The central l1nanclaI organization has become strong and rich because it has made the taxpayers poor.
 Gan anyone imagine that we could have taken these enormous sums from industry without seriously weakening the possibility of indus trial expansion, or even it's continu- ance The bulk of big business is carried on by credit, and the know ledge of what firms have already paid and might be liable to pay is one of the obstacles in the way when ever they go to the banks for credit for further expansion
 Continuing the Premier declared that unless there is distinct i'm provement in trade within a req sonable time' position will be reached that will be "worse, almost than that of any of the allied coun tries"
 The Premier thus made plain that in building up a strong central finan, cial position, which means a position that would enable English to meet its obligations to other nations. industry has been sacrificed. Deflation in England has been checked but at the cost of a strong internal financial position.
 The serious problem of unemploy ment in Great Britain is an out growth of this industrial sacrifice With industry unable to maintain it's normal course of development and expansion the demand for labor has been curtailed. More than 1,000,- 900 men have been out of work in England this winter and have brot tremendous pressure for relief upon

LONDON, Feb. 20.-Great Britain has been more or less feverishly engaged since the war in that unre- munerative pastime scripturally des- cribed as 'robbing Peter to pay Paul"
 By industriously transferring huge sums from one pocket to another, John Bull has been able to show a bulging purse to that part of the world that made inquiry as to his ability to pay his debts. Those who have taken a peek into the other pocket, however, have been appalled, at it's cavernous emptiness.
 This second pocket is the one into which British taxpayers have been pouring a cnotinuous stream of gold en sovereigns. For the financial year of 1921-22 John Bulls national in come was 1,124,SO0,OOO pounds. Of this huge sum 501, ,636,000 pounds was paid in direct taxes by the citizer of Great Britain. Included in these taxes were imposts on automobiles, estate duties, land and house taxes, property and income taxes, excess profits duties and corporation taxes. Customs and excises which ultimate ly are paid by the British consumer, yielded 324, ,343,000 pounds, and "mls- cellaneous and special receipts" the burden of which largely fell upon the people, yielded 197,140,00O pounds.
 Thus the staggering sum of 1,023,- 119OOO pounds, which, at the preva- lent rate of exchange, amounts to approximately s4,7O6,347, 400 was talk en last year directly or indirectly, frmo the pockets of British taxpayers
 Industry Bears Brunt
 By far the greater burden of this taxation has fallen upon British in dustry. Business has paid a terrific toll as a result of the financial bur dens imposed upon England by the war. Sadly stated, this toll has brought British industry to the verge of stagnatiOn.
 This condition was not denied by Premier Andrew Bonar Law, him

the Government. The Government has paid more than a hundred million pounds for unemployment relief, but this has by no means taken care of the needs of the situation.
 Although admitting it's seriousness, Government ministers and industrial leaders do not regard the situation as hopeless They see two means by which relief may be obtained.
 Relief in Sight
 For the Governments part it is relying upon a settlement of the reparations problem and arrange, ments fo the funding of it's foreign debts to remove the necessity for further immediate taxation to main tain it's central financial strength This will enable it to lessen the toll industry and the individual tax payer will have to pay.
 Industry, with a lighter burden of taxation impending, is cheered by brighter trade prospects. Recent re turns of British trade show a marked increase in the value of exports and imports. This is taken as an indica tion of increased prosperity that is distinctly heartening.
 Individual, burdened with income and other taxes that in some cases verged upon confiscation, are cheered by a prospect of alleviation of these burdens.
 Thus, while the immediate situation is admittedly critical, the viewpoint of British leaders is that solutions impend that augur an early improve ment.
