 Dr. LaForge was quoted as saying:
 Unless prohibition is repealed, American cultural ideals will decay soon. Prohibition is gangrenous force, which corrodes and mortifies cultural ideals and sloughing off, leaves such pestilence and crime in its wake as to soon threaten the decay fore this alleged prohibition, the deaths from acute alcoholism. were about ? per cent with the advent of dry legislation. the death rate was advanced to 25 per cent" , The statement issued today by pr. Pickett says:
 Tn the registration area in the year i'-- 'ti'c last dNdiidple llgureS), the death rate from alcoholism both acute and chronic. was actually slightly less than one-fourth of one per cent. If 1t had been 26 per cent there would have been 297 alcoholism deaths per lo0,o0O instead of 2.6 per 100000 of population.
 Before prohibition the death rate from alcoholism was 5.S per 100. .0OO. It is now little less than half that"
