 Woodcock made an exhaustive study of the whole problem, in which he eliminated other sug- gested solutions, declared a simple administrative policy could be adopted of making no effort to get evidence on liouor made and used in the home.
 So long as a man keeps the public peace and observe his family duties under the Wood cock policy, he would be no more prosecuted for possessing or liquor in his home than for playing a game of checkers.
