She was having a chill. 1t had
been stupid to go out. And there
was no medicine. Perhaps she
would feel better after a while.

she could go to the drug store.

Taverns May Suffer
 When Repeal Comes
Big Decline Expected When 18th Amendment k
 Changed and Hard Liquor Flows Again

ing the passing of the prohibition amendment when the thirty-sixth state votes in favor of repeal on November and ratifes on Decem- Der 6 or 2, are also expe cting that taverns now engaged solely in tho sale of beer, will become saloons as of old. This will not come about under the present law, 1t was explained to-day by Secretary ePters. Wholesalers. manufacture CTS. package stores and drug stores are the only places where so-called "hard-liquor" may be sold, and package, stores may sell in con- tainers of not less than one quart. On the other hand drug stores will be the only place where "liquor' may be obtained in packages con- taining less than one quart.
 Tavcrns will still continue to dis pense beer, and it is considered very likely that many taverns which sprang up in anticipation of great profits with the advent of beer, will fall by the wayside and those remaining will be the ones with more lor less fortunate loca- tons for the sale of that beverage. Restaurants will continue to enjoy the beer privilege, as will hotels but hotels will miss the revenue of the old days in the prohibition of the sale of liquors other than beer. Hotel patrons will not be able to use "hard liquor" in public rooms, but under the present law will have to make their purchases in pack age stores or drug stores for use in the privacy of their own rooms
