Sale of Alcohol 2... { Dvwing to: Dangerous Char: 'Will Be Suspended in ent Stores--Alk ol for Medicinal Use Will Be Procured Through Prescription Only. Complaints have been received from time to time as to the extent the use of dangerous substitutes for potable alcoholic drinks exists. Unfortunately, it appears that a number of people using these sub- stitutes for years have now be; come addicts to rubbing alcohol compounds, and even_ canned heat, are used. The Superintendent of the Union Mission for men in Ot- wa states that from his observa- tion and personal knowledge, the rity of cases of drunkenness which come before the Ottawa Po- lice Court are the result of drink- ing rubbing alcohol, The Rever- end Wellesley A. Humnisett, in charge of the Fred Victor Mission, Toronto, shows the use for drink- J ing purposes, not only of rubbing EE -- Each community is an expression of men's faith -- each in the other, society's foundation, We render a professional service that is per- sonal in its attentiveness, sympathetic in its courtesy, dignified in direction, DISNEY-COTT FUNREAL HOUSE 87 Celina Street, Cor, Bruce St, uor Stores ill be Stopped points as to the use of this very dangerous substitute. Another of drunk- fruitful cause enness is the use of Grain Alcohol as a beverage. tains 90 per cemt, more It is, in effect, simply raw alco hol, highly dangerous as a drink, in land requiring a very small quan ment Liquor or rubbing alcohol he will take the rubbing alcohol every time." Information from London shows that a great many of the offenders appearing before the magistrates in London and Middlesex County, were intoxicated by drinking rub- bing alcohol, and that in a large majority of the cases, the alcohol found on them at the time of the arrest 1s rubbing alcohol, Rubbing aleohol is, of course, not sold by the Board, and those arrested for drunkenness resultant from fits use, are either men who have no permits, or .whose permits have been cancelled, Similar informa- tion is received from many other Fellowship 1s Oshawa tity to produce drunkenness, ile formerly the sale of grain alcohol was for medicinal purposes, and not as a beverage, its chief use to- day is for beverage purposes. It is sold by this Board, This sale was justified on the ground of pub- lic demand, and the that the Ontario Governmeht and other and older Liquor Com. missions carried it, This 1s true The Dispensaries, in the 14 months period m April 1, 1920 to May 31, 1921, sold 33,976 Imperial gallons, and in the year ending May 31, 1927, the sale amounted to 20,419 Imperial gallons, It is also true that it is carried by the Que- bee Liguor Commission, from their price list, reading: 428 Alcohol 65 OP, 10 oz, $1.60 "2A Aleohol 65 O.P, 20 oz, $3.10 "1C Alcohol 65 O.P, 40 oz. $6." It is carried on this Board's list as "1B Grain Alcohol 65 O.P, Qt, $4.00" : I am advised that Ontario Hos- pitals purchased in the six months' period ending April 30th last, 1,» 942 gallons, As the Board has sold as much as 2,400 gallons in a month, it is quite obvious that by far the greater part is used for drinking purposes, Unfortunately, much of it is used in mixing It with alcohol of another origin, pro- ducing a highly intoxicating com- pound, . The Board formerly sold alcohol in 6 oz bottles as well as by the quart, On May 6th the sale of 6 oz hottles was stopped, except when accompanied hy a doctor's prescription. The manner in which sales fell off is illustrative of the character of its use in April, as the following statement showing results of a few stores shows: April Sales May 1-6 Sales dur, of 6 ounce Sales Bal, Alcohol ance of May Bottles Bottles Bottles 1,038 187 2 174 4 None 287 81 1 It has been pointed out to me that the sale ought to continue owing to the fact that the Quebec Liquor Commission sell it, as li- quor can be brought in easily from Quebee to Ontario, and also that it is urgently required for the sick, I don't fee] at all alarmed at the loss of profits that might conse- SSEX=mirrors public choice The most important thing ever sald of Edex is said by buyers In the largest 6-cylinder of automobile preference Itisa and ride in the exterior the closest Within, this And then you have the famous Super-Six bi you finish t to the eye~in thet invites quent on Quebec bootlegging.

Phone 149], whole question is, what is the right thing for this Board to do, in the public interest of the Prov- ince, wing to the dangerous character of this strong spirit, I am not in any doubt at all, Its sale will be stopped, As to the use of alcohol for sponging the sick, people who are so danger. ously ill as to require this, re- quire a physician, and 1 am quite sure that the responsible physi- clans of this Province are not go- ing to exact special fees for pre- scribing rubbing alcohol, any more than they would for prescribing medicine, In the future, alcohol will only be sold on doctors' pre- scriptions, Alcohol must mot be confused with Whiskey Blanc. While Whisky Blanc is absolutely the same char- acter, its strength is so different as to free it from objection, The moderate use of Whiskey Blane cannot be described as dangerous, and, as a matter of fact, it is a comparatively mild whiskey, It is put up by the Quebec Liquor Com- mission, 48 per cent, under proof, It is actually milder, hy 113 de- grees in alcoholic content than grain alcohol, Those who under- stand the proper use of grain alco- hol as a beverage always dilute 1t, The Whiskey Blane itself is already diluted to a point which removes immediate danger from those drinking it, as in the case of un- diluted grain aleohol, The Board will then list Whiskey Blanc, as now carried in Quebec, That is to say, the Board will sell Whiskey Blane, 48 per cent, U.P, at $1.50 for a hottle of 36 ounces, Rubbing alcohol is not a matter under the Board's immediate jum isdiction, If 18 a compound which is being authorized by the De- partment of Excise and Inland Re- venue at Ottawa, but the question is being taken up with the Ottawa authorities, BERLIN SEAT SCALPERS WORKING IN SUBWAYS Berlin, July 6.--Seat-scalping in Berlin subways has now become a recognized profession among the city's permanently unemployed, A ' "requirement for success in this vo- | cation is ability to get a seat dur- ing rush hours and dispose of it to 1 | straphangers, Often they travel In pairs, and | [make money hy aiding in uniting | | couples who | | kept more than otherwise would be talking distance | | apart during the journey.

The proposed treaty between the two countries has never got far, but without it, the increased trade is motable. It has risen to nearly 60 mil- lions in the past year as compared with 18 millions just before the exports to Germany last year were over 42 millions while imports ex- ceeded 17 millions, The increase is attributed main- ly to the disorganization in Russia and to the aflling off in the ex- ports of food-stuffs from that country to Germany, thus provid- ing an outlet for a corresponding degree of such exports from Can- ada, In 1914, just before the war, Canada sold four millions' worth of merchandise to Germany and bought five millions' worth, In the list of Canadian exports, apart from foodstuffs and fish, there is a considerable quantity of auto- mobiles, farm implements, rubber tires and a variety of smaller manufactures, The principal items of export were wheat, $17,906,413; flour, $6,635,662; fish, $1,031,000; pig lead, $325,108; nickel, $240,084; 'harvesters and binders, outbreak of hostilities.

Sir . Montagu, leader of the Opposi- tion, moved that "this House is of the opinion that the restriction on native legislation contained in the constitution should be removed." He declared the present position regard- ing native legislation was dangerous and denounced the practice of certain rSONs api fing to the Secretary of tate for the colonies at London in- stead of voicing their complaints to the assembly of South Rhodesia. Premier Moffatt said he consider- ed the motion premature. He de- clared there was a section "at home, lying in wait for us, who would point out that we wanted the reser- vatoins removed in order to carry out oppressive legislation dealing with the natives" ! The Opposition leader then called attention to the "dangerous feeling on the part of a certain section of the people against the Imperial Gov- ernment," but withdrew his motion. was turned over to the Federal aut ties today to answer a charge of de frauding Dr, Ira Cotnam, Canadian member of Parliament for North Ren- frew, of $2,000. The arrest was made on a warrant issued to Frederick Watson, British Consul-General. Gannon, a resident of this city, was arraigned before United States Dis trict Judge Dickinson, and commit. ted to prison until the court decides Whether it has legal right to admit him to bail. A decision is expected within a few days, and if bail is set it will be for Gannon's appearance at further hearing before the court, when witnesses from Montreal and Toronto may be present. * Niagara Falls, Oat., July 6.--The body of John Snyder, awd 28, Chippawa, was found in the Chip- pawa River tonight by W ("Red") Hill, Snyder had been missing since Jansary, and 1s be- lMeved to have ¥fallem from the Montrose bridge through the ice, The body was identified from Slothing and articles in. the poe This is the second body recovers ed by Hill today, and the ninety. seventh in all, he having found the body of a Greek priest who eom- Milled suicide over the American Coroner W.
