Truthful Tommy
A shop was giving away toy bal
looms to children. One little fellow
asked if he might have two.
Sorry said the clerk, "but we only
give one balloon to each boy. Have you
a brother at home?"
The youngster was truthful, but he
did want another balloon.
NO." he replied regretfully, then
added hopefully, "but my sister has,
and | want one for him."

Figures Are Official.

These figures are supplied from Off
cial records in both cities.
According to statistics furnished by
the dry forces here, drunkenness has
decreased 40 per cent, while the
amount of liquor consumed has been
reduced by 95 per cent. This latter
figure, however, is to be doubted Sc
riously. There is no definite way to
check up on the amount of liquor
consumed, though figure can be OBJ
tanned by deducting the amount sold
after the act went into effect from
figures of sales before that time. But
from what people say, there is a lot
of drinking in Toronto.
The act is enforced by a special
squad of o. T. A. enforcement officers,
who correspond in some degree to the
prohibition officers in the United
States, and these are assisted by the
provincial police and the municipal
police. They work hand in hand and
have the added backing of the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police when occa-
sion arises. The enforcement officers
are rigid and strict. Even the vets
admit that they do their best to en-
force the law.
One does not hear of bribery and
graft in connection with their work.

EVANGELIST DENIES

Charge That She Was There
With 0rmiSton.
Ny the Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.-Clues
heveloped at Carmel and Monterey,
south of here, are believed by Joe
Ryan, Los Angeles deputy district at
torney, to have solved the Aimee Sem
Sple Mcpherson kidnapping case.
Ryan, who has been at Carmel since
Saturday, last night reported to Dis
fTrict Attorney Asa Keyes that he was
Satisfied Mrs. Mcpherson arrived there
8he day after she disappeared at Ocean
Park Beach, accompanied by kenneth
&c. Ormiston, radio operator ana 1rlend
of the evangelist.
Ryan's investigation followed re-
ports that a man and woman resem-
bling the evangelist and radio opera
tor arrived at Carmel May 10 and re-
manned there for several days. Ryan
declared he could produce four wit
nesses who identified photographs of
Mrs. Mcpherson and Ormiston as the
couple who had been at Carmel.
Ormiston was interviewed by au-
thorities q short time after the evan
gehst disappeared but he dropped
from sight after being questioned and
was last reported in New York. A let
ter purported to have been written by
Orrniston was introduced before the
grand jury which recently investigated
the case, but adjourned without issu-
ing any indictments. The letter denied
any knowledge of the case.
Attorneys for Mrs. Mcpherson last
might denied she had ever been in
Carmel. The evangelist continues to
defend the story of her abduction in
sermons at Angelus Temple, maintain
ing she was held captive for nearly
five weeks and escaped to reappear at
Aqua Prieta, Mexico, near the Arizona
border.

want more prohibition and less tenn
perance.
Since the liquor laws enactment in
Toronto they claim that money spent
on liquor heretofore is now going into
business, homes and savings &C
counts. They point with pride to the
clean streets of the city today COM
pared to the streets of the city when
saloons were running full blast.
They quote the same arguments con-
corning prosperity, better school
facilities, diminished social problems,
increased efficiency.
Believe i'm Future.
They believe that the bcotlegger,
like other law evaders, will always be
present, but they discount the
damage he does and rest on a grow
ing enlightenment to stamp him out
eventually. They belittle the alarm
voiced by the vets concerning the
degeneration of the young people.
The pocket flask, they maintain, Is
passing fad.
And the man on the street? I
made it my business to talk to many
of them about prohibition. His views
are those of the Government en-
ploye, the bank clerk, the grocery
man back home
Eyes, I think prohibition has done
a lot Of good here. 1 know lots of
sections of this city which have
shown improvement since prohibition.
1 think it's a good thing. The boot
leggers are selling terrible stuff. The
boys and girls are getting drunk

thing a few years back. What right
have those people to take away my

Periodically the police raid places

the bootlegger makes or doctors his

It in Washington.
AS related in yesterdays letter,
medicinal whisky may be obtained
through a government dfspensary on
the prescription of a qualified phySl-
clan who lives and practices medicine
in Ontario. When the law was first
enacted much trouble was found with
, the system, not only by the doctors
but by the government as well. Doc
tors were issuing prescriptions by the
thousands to combat a strange malady
that had the whole province in its
grip. The law has since been changed
to limit doctors to 80 prescriptions a

The country club dance has come

than he does of buying package of

The law cannot be enforced, they
declare, and this propaganda, no
matter how true or how false, leads
everybody to the conclusion that 1t
can't be enforced. My informant,

attorney of this city, cited an ex-
ample of what he termed the psy-
chology of the whole situation.

When Winnipeg was dry-like
Toronto is today--we played with a
decanter resting on the sideboard, and
whenever a man was dummy he got
up and took several drinks, with the
result that before the evening was
over we were all more or less tight
Now Winnipeg is wet. still go there

the town went wet my frlend mas
neglected to put the decanter on the
sideboard. Neither he nor his friends
think of taking a drink during the
game, although we may later have
one all around with a sandwich or
something. That just shows how 1t
works. When the towns dry, like
Toronto, it is natural for a man to
take every opportunity to take
drink, because he doesn't know when
he'll get another one: Whereas IN
Winnipeg and Quebec you never see
that sort of thing, because they know
they can get 1t when they want 1t.
Nobody wants the saloon back, but

they have in Quebec"
Drys Defend Conditions.
But while the vets may picture the
unhappy conditions resulting in
Toronto from temperance and the In

the prohibition law, however hard
it tries, the drys also are prolific

satisfied with the present law, but
they are convinced that it has done

Doctors Wanted Change.

The change was brought about as
much by the doctors as anything else.
Nevertheless, am told that the usual
thing for citizen of Toronto to do
upon the receipt of a telegram an
nouncing the proposed visit of Cousin
Tom from the States is to HE himself
to the nearest doctor and obtain
prescription. The availability of such
prescriptions depends upon the genu-
Inc illness or the personal inclinations
and friendship of the doctors involved.
And prescription liquor is as highly
valued here-for it is every bit as eX-
Densive-as it is in Washington.
In connection with prescription
liquor it is interesting to note the
curative power of the different brands.
In July of a year ago Scotch whisky
comprised 38~ per cent of all the pre-
scription liquors sold, Canadian whisky
1919 per cent and gin 1916 per cent.
The same proportion held true last
October although brandy came in for
run of popularity that made it about
on a par with gin for the cure of
colds, depression, hiccoughs, measles,
whooping cough, scarlet fever, that
