Speaking of the profits of $526,-- 000 which had been made, Mr. Dew-- art asked: "Is this a business which you consider must make a profit?" '"Yes, I certainly do," replied Mr. « Flavelle. « He explained that liquor was sold on a flat rate all over the Province. Regarding the fact that 90 per cent. of the business was done on doctors' orders for quarts, and 80 per cent. of these were not absolutely need-- ed, Mr. Flavelle said he was making no imputation against doctors. "But some of them lack the backbone not |to offend customers and give pre-- « | seriptions when they are not needed. | Others do it for money. (Ninety per cent. give no more than ten pre-- scriptions a month, while the other " ten per cent. bedevil the whole busi-- ness." Forty doctors have been success-- fully prosecuted. Mr. Flavelle, speaking of export warehouses, said that the houses had been instructed to suspend business |from March 31 until the Govern-- }ment announces a definite policy. Mr. Dewart asked that if they had | the power to stop these certificates now why they did not do it before? '"We refused to renew certificates on instructions from the Provincial 'Secretary," was the reply. j |__ The matter of the sale of vishnick in Toronto, which created a sensa-- tion during the last elections, will probably be a subject of inquiry at a later sitting. h ie e arereetee ie uraee en UHTG enc ces peeinire e neine se uen aerap e aiains n e t rona en enmmmmnonemine" f f ArCrCesiauny _ _ -- 'REGIMENT, IF NECESSARY ' 9 9 | TO OUST LIQUOR--RUNNERS nmermirnnetrmareniene iecgreiincnsien Piotned egornatol, } ® + I f [Raney Pledged to Abolish Traffic Between ® * l \ } , \___ Windsor and Detroit--Gunmen and Thugs i # | From U.S. Infest Border City, Mayor Says | Sheat nc os uc amegener e iiri ie oi e e rar oo ie crmmenys | (Special Despatch to The Globe.) 1 | _ _Windsor, April 1.--Action by the | ters in Michigan and adjacent States[ Ontario Government to combat the '%i'; ibein%w t:t-m'ached to Windsor, ivities of liquor--runners along the | [FAYOT nter eclared _ to--day.° rrftt;? etis-onal (:)oundarv has g;ateen iDesperate en nicl, ihe Mayor said, na fls are 'being employed _ to _ smuggle t promised by Hon.
