h -- ' The week has been really a very gay one for our quiet little city, due part- ly to the presence of several charming and popular visitors, and partly, doubtless, to the desire of all good Church of England people to comply 'as far as possible with the earnest request of the Lord Bishop of Ontario that all social engagements be can- ceed as far as possible daring the week beginning to morrow Advent Sunday.

Lady Frederick Cavendish said «he felt like a nervous lion, in a den of Daniels, as she was quite opposed to the movement, and was afraid if women got suffrage, they'd be wanting to run for parliament, and this the wise lady considered would be a great mistake. Her kinswoman, Ladv Fran ces Balfour jumped up and stilled the laughter and applause which followed, and said the audience mustn't attach the least importance to Ladv Caven- dizh's remarks, as the idea of women sitting in parliament wasn't at all chimorical in her eves, and sha felt that if they did get there, they'd do much better than men. - - - - Mrs. Go A.

THE POINT OF VIEW. sport up my 1 THE LIQUOR ACT EXPLAINED AND DEFENDED BY DR. PHILP The Nature of the Act Itseli--The " Restrictions--The Means of Enforcement--What the Oppon- ents of Act Say. Kingston, Nov. 29.--(To the Edi- tor) : Permit me space in your columns to give at some length and vet as concisely as possible the na- ture and aim of the Liquor Act of 1902. To judge from the tract issued by the liquor party they either great- ly misunderstand the act or grievous- ly distort it. There are also many who intend to vote "Yes," who would be pleased to have fuller knowledge concerning it. : The liquor act is a law. It is not a mere policy which has yet to be fully defined, but a measure developed and matured, with all the conditions necessary for © enforcement, and only awaits the vote of the .people on {Thursday next, December 4th, to be- come the law of the province of On- tario at the appointed date, - May 1st, 1904. Let a majority of the votes cast on the 4th of December he marked * Yes" that majority *vote- to exceed 212.723, and the liquor act® of 1902 becomes law. As to the nature of the act itself: It is not prohibitory in the extreme sense of abolishing the manufacture of intoxicating liquors, but it is prohi- bhitory in limiting and controlling their sale and use. -The act being pro- vincial it cannot touch dorhinion rights. The manufacture of strong drink is under the control of the Do- minion government, not the provincial. The moment any provincial act in- fringes upon the rights of a dominion act that-- moment the provincial act becomes null and * void. Hence the present liquor act, being provincial, cannot and does not touch the manu- facture of strong drink, and the im- portation or exportation of the same. What does this liquor act restrict : The sale of intoxicating drink in the Provifice of Ontario as hereafter de- That sale being solely under control it comes within the power of this act, which is generally accepted as the most complete and thorough provincial prohibitory mea- «ure that has ever claimed the sanc- tion of the people, restricting the sale of intoxicants as far as provincial au- thority can reach. Let this be under- stood as against all statements to the contrary. To speak of this liquor act the same as the "old Scott act™ is scribed. provincial as very misleading, What are the restrictions of the liquor act 2 It forbids the sale of all intoxicating liquors in all places ex- cept wholesale and retail drug stores, and by all persons, except a duly qualified druggist, specially licensed by the government to sell. Any other person attempting to sell will meet with a severe penalty. The license of the druggist who sells the liquor must by a government in- spector and publicly advertised. 'lhe druggist must give bonds: of himself amd two others that he will obey the law. He must keep a complete re cord of every sale and must file every prescription, certificate and request that he receives. He must send to the chief inspector every six months a sworn statement in detail of all sales that he has made. His documents <hall always be open for inspection by any person for at least one year. Who may purchase licensed druggist : ~The following per- sons and no others : A duly qualified physician, not to exceed two quarts al a time. A duly registered dentist, not_to_exceed one pint. A_duly quali- fied veterinary surgeon, solely for me- dicinal purposes, not to exceed one oxtion.~A person engaged in. mechan- ical stientifie pursuits in which be reported upon or alcohol is needed, not to exceed ten gallons. A doctor's patient on the written certificate of the physician that it is for medicinal purposes only. A clergyman or his deputy on a cer- Gificate that the liquor is only for sacramental. use. These persons thus purchasing must make "their written or printed afiidavit that the liquor thus procured is not for beverage purposes, but -solelv jor the use de- <ionated. Any known violatian of this affidavit by any party is sub- ject to severe penalty. Where may liquor be kept : In the ofice of the physician, dentist, veter inary surgeon and mechanical or sci entific operator, (in an incorporated public hospital. In the room of a «ick patient on the physician's pre- iption. Where shall liquor not be kept : In anv hotel or place of public enter- nnient. in any society or club in- corporated or unincorporated, in any assembly room or hall, in any board- ing house or lodging house where there are more than three lodgers. In no=other place whatsoever: shall li- quor be kept save with one exception. What is that exception: The pri- ¢ dwelling house. A person may keep liquor for beverage purposes in his own private house ii he desires thus, to use 'it. The expression *'pri- vate dwelling house" means a dwell- ing actually and exclusively occupied as a private residence. The moment such a private residence is suspected of being a rendevous for drinking it ceases to be a private dwelling'house under this act and is subject tq the penalty provided. : A How shall the individual wishing to' keep diquor as a beverage in his pri vate house, sicwme said hiquor : He hall .not procure it irom a druggist or physician, or brewer or distiller, "or warchouvse, anv other person or place whatscever within the Province of Ontario. He must procure it 'from outside the province. and said liquor must sent direct to his private residence in unopened or unbroken packages or vessels froin the place of purchase. or be These are the main restrictions and | the Maine Ex- cla rm regarding pmivileges of the act.

No r n- justice could he ofiered to men of high integrity. It is an unwarranted and basclss insult. They tel us in their pamphlet that warehouses jor the storage of liquor wil be open to all who wih tb secure intoxi-ants, as a beverage, a statement absolutely; in- correct in the light of the act itself, which enacts that every warehouse that keeps liquor shall keep it solely for export purposes or for sale to a wholesule drugpi-t, and no other busi- ness shall be permitted on penalty of severe punishment for violation. See liguor act, section 155; sub-section 2. They tell us further that the 'finan- cial svstem of the province will be, in peril if the act passes. With 816,980, 000 now wasted in strong drink, then saved; with the brain and muscle, time and talent of thousands turns 'to productive labor; with the produce? of the field no longer destroyed; with the cost of pauperism, disease ani ciime reduced to a minimum, nothing is more absurd than thescry of finandial ruin. None are so blind as those who will not see. | In conclusion I quote tha words lof the pamphlet issued by the liquor party : "lt is the bounden duty of every voter in Ontario to express his ;opivion on this subject. There should be no shirking responsibility." I s«in- cerely hope that advice will be heed- ed. Those who, through indifference or any other cause, refrain from vot- ing are virtually upholding the liquor wraflic.

Suppose you feed a man 10 pounds of sugar, (which is nearly all pure nour- i-hment). Would his system absorb 10 ,pounds ? He would probably be made sick and really lose weight and strength.
