Dry's Name Used
To Get Liquor
FRANK A. DAY DENIES FLATLY
THAT HE OBTAINED PRE-
SCRIPTION FOR BOOZE.
Brown County Journal)

Drown County JournaD
Frank A. Day, sage of Fairmont
and who is John Barleycorn's worst
enemy, is in the limelight. The form
er lieutenant governor and publisher
of the Fairmont Sentinel has received
a letter from F. B. Qvale, inquiring
into prescription for one pint OF
whiskey, which drugstore records show
was delivered to Mr.. Day on or about
Oct. %, 1922.
The letter addressed to the publish
er, which was the first information
he had relative to the purchase of the
liquor, reads:
"a check of drug store shows that
on or about Oct. % your name APP
pears on prescription for one pint
of whiskey for an ailment from which
you were suffering. The prescription
was issued by Dr. H. l.. Artz of Jack
son, Mimi. We would appreciate if
you would tell us whether you re-
ceived the prescription and the whis-
key"
Editor Day, with characteristic We
hemence denies knowledge of pre-
scription and whiskey. Dr. aArtZ
states that he never heard of the pre-
Scrlptlon Tor pint OF WhlSkey, alleged
to have been issued by him to Frank
A. Day of Fairmont. He characteriz-
ed the PRESCRIPTION as a forgery.
Drug stores, under the law, have to
file prescriptions, issued by physi-
clans, for liquor, with the clerk of the
district court. The list, filed with
Clerk Carl P. Manderfeld of Brown
County, is illuminating. There are
names upon this list, which are as
unknown in Brown County as the
bright lights upon Broadway are to
the Hottentot. A perusal of the list
also lends the information that fair
women of New Ulm and Brown Coun
ty, if the prescriptions are bonafide,
are in need of stimulant continuous
ly.
Sunday school workers and minis
ters' names are not missing from the

Shrine Hospital
Opens March 5
NEARLY HALF OF CAPACITY AL
READY RESERVED AT INSTI-
TUITION FOR CRIPPLES.

Nearly half the capacity already is
reserved for the Shrines hospital for
crippled children, POPS East River
boulevard, Minneapolis, which is
scheduled for formal opening for
patients March s.
The 100000 cottage will be opened
for the inspection of the public March
3 and a.
The hospital was begun last May.
1t is one of the first of the long chain
of crippled children hospitals which
the Shrine plans to establish through
out North America.
Crippled children from nine states
and few from Canada will be sent
to this River Road hospital. The po-
tentate of each Shrine will investigate
applications and recommend the pa
TENTS The states are Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Iowa, Nebras-
ka, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota
and South Dakota.
From so to 60 children will be ac-
commodated at one time. Each child
will stay three or four months on an
average.
The hospital will be made just as
much home for the children as pos
sible. They will be given lots of
playtime, and be surrounded with as
cheering an environment as possible.
The children will be schooled and
taken to Sunday school, where the
parents desire. When they are re-
turned to their home, they will not
only be bettered physically, but will
have lost no ground in their other ac-
Invites.

Old Story Worked Over

A prominent citizen of Richmond.
Virginia, whose addiction to the cup
that cheers drove him abroad with
the first onslaught of prohibition, was
enjoying all the liberty of inebriation
in small out of the way inn in a
Swiss village. He occupied the choice
room on the first fioor-a room that
was very much desired by a promi-
nent social matron who had the rest
of the floor, for her daughter. Final
ly the ex-resident of Richmond re-
ceived the following note:
Mrs. Reggie de Vaux, of Philadel-
phia, presents her compliments to Mr..
John Smith, of Richmond, Virginia,
and requests that he kindly give up
his room on the first floor, since it
is adjacent to Mrs. de Vaux's suite
and she would like to have it for her
daughter"
In answer Mrs. de Vaux received
the following:
"Mr. John Smith, of Richmond,
Virginia, presents his compliments
to Mrs. Reggie de Vaux of Philadel-
phia, and desires to know if her
daughter drinks"
Mrs. de Vaux Indignantly. wrote
back: Mrs. Reggie de Vaux, of Phil
adelphia, again presents her compli-
ments to Mr.. John Smith, of Rich
mond, Virginia, and desires to state
emphatically that her daughter does
not drink which called forth the un.
answerable ultimatum from NJ.
Smith:
"Mrs. John Smith, of Richmond,
Virginia, again presents his compli-
ments to Mrs. Reggie de Vaux, of
Philadelphia, and desires to state that
since her daughter does not drink,
it is easier for her to go up to the
second floor than Mr.. Smith, who
does. -Argonaut.
