OF the Constitution.
Before National prohibition came 10

saloon trade was therefore in beer Bring

much to them what the liquid wrapping
is which encloses the alcohol.
The Prohibition Amendment has made
the beverage liquor traffic an outlaw,
closed 1900 brewers, some 400 distiler-
les, 17S,000 saloons and according to Secy
Hoover and the economist Babson has
been an important factor IN the business

not complete success.
The complete success measured by the
standard of other criminal laws is en-

Drunkenness, in the city OF Montreal,
Canada, under government sale, accord

Their descendants of 1926 exhibit the

ultimately require the same medicine to
effect a cure.
Alcoholic insanity under prohibition,
has been reduced approximately two
thirds.
Delirium tremens cases are few today.
In the saloon days hospital wards were
crowded with these cases.
Under the license system there were

August, 1926 Breaks Record for
Building Construction; Thirty
One Per Cent Residential
Buildings

Building and engineering contracts were
awarded during August to the amount OF
$l96030,50 in the central west (Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska).
according to F. w Dodge Corporation,
says story III the Chicago Daily News OF
September Il. The above figure which
was the highest monthly total on record,
exceeded July OF this year by p per cent
and August OF 1925 by 81 per cent.
Included in the August record were 500
900, or 81 per cent of all construction,
for residential buildings $50, 493,700 or 20
per cent, for industrial buildings; ,81,-
700, or 10 per cent for commercial build
ings; So, 336, 500, or Il per cent for public
works and utilities; $14,S6o, 900 or per
cent for social and reereational projects,
and $140l6, 800, or per cent, for educa-
tional buildings.
During the first eight months OF 1926
there was $1,056, AS, 800 worth OF new con
struction started in the district, compared
with $971 $4,000 during the corresponding
period OF 1925, the increase being 9 per
cent.
Second Largest Recorded
august construction contracts in the
thirty-seven states east of the Rocky
mountains amounted to $600,80S,0O0. This
amount was the second largest monthly
total ever recorded for these states, which
include about 81 per cent of the total
construction volume of the country.
This is not doing so badly for coun
try that invited commercial ruin some
seven years ago by abolshing saloons

We have had election of council Off
GERS, inspirational, talks, and discussions
regarding the Legislature and Law En-
forcement situations III Illinois.
Each meeting closed with new deter
mnation, new inspiration and a new
realization OF the irresistible power of
thorough organization.
The church women are delighted to
know that Hope Thompson, who was de-
feated by r. f. Grove for States Attor-
ney has been appointed First Assistant
District Attorney in the Federal court in
Chicago This news must strike terror
into the hearts Of the Bootlegging Gang.
We thank Senator Deneen for this rec
ommendation.
The Vets seem to be very angry be-
cause the temperance organizations re-
fuse to recognize their fake referendum.
Moral: When the enemy wants you to

Those good people who stay at home

approve of the nominees, cannot escape
the blame OF helping to elect wet candi-
