Be You Remember? The old-time Bar-Room and Liquor Shep, with their disgusting sights and sounds and smells; The staggering, cursing, drunken men who jostled us on the streets and on the cars-- particularly on holidays or at public demon- strations--and who filled our jails; The poor, battered, bedraggled hulks of men and women--=God's children, our broth- ers and sisters, every one of them; The destitution, misery, wretchedness, squator, filth and disorder in many hovels that might, and should, have been homes; : The vice, the immorality, the crime, the debauchery, incited by liquor, that appalled © good citizens. The 8.7.A. Has Made Good Contrast those conditions with the situation today. The Ontario Temperance Act has brought immeasurable improvement. Drunk. enness has decreased, Crime has been lessened. Homes are happier. Children have been given a better chance. Savings Bank de- in sed. All down the line, been written into the history OFFICIAL RECORDS PROVE ALL THIS! The following table shows that, in Ontario under the O. T. A., there has been a sub- stantial decrease in the offences that are NOTE THE CPINION OF OUR MANUFACTURERS: "Does Prohibition, under the O. T. A, result in mere comfortable homes and better supplies of food and clothing for wives and children?" When this question was asked of leading Ontario manufacturers by the Ontario Board of License Commissioners, 1,165, or 82 per cent., answered "Yes", while only 239, or 17 per cent., said "No", All Systems of Government Sales Have Failed So-called "Government Control" has nrov- en a dismal failure wherever tried, Drinking, drunkenness and _ bootlegging have reached appalling proportions. Every Canadian Pro- vince that has tried any form of "Government Sale" has already learned a hard lesson. Take BRITISH COLUMBIA: Hon. H. H. Stevens, M.P., in a public address in Van- couver recently, declared: "Never, in the history of the country, was bootlegging comparable in magnitude and murderous results to what it is today." Or, MANITOBA: Figures furnished by the Chief of Police of Winnipeg show an increase of 45 per cent. in the number of For the Honor of ©id Ontario g liquor as a beverage continue to lished and conducted by the Government? §] Since September 16th, purposes has been prohibited.

There is not a man or woman of a bar-room or liquor shop in the Province of Ontario. Now, it wants to come back. It seeks not only TA new genera- Older generations may 29 years of age who has legally seen the inside {| Booze is banned! It is a discredited and dishonored e-instatement, but that the Government itself shall be drunk and disorderly cases in the first five months under Government Sale, as compared with the corresponding five months of the previous year under Prohibition. And, finally, QUEBEC: The following resolution was unanimously adopted by the Presbytery of Montreal, April 15th, 1924: "That we regard it to be a patriotic duty to make it known that the drug traffic flour- ishes here as never before and is on the in- crease, bootlegging flourishes in and from this Province as never before, that drunken- ness is on the increase and that the Quebec system of Government Control is sodially injurious and not a success." Ontario Must Hold the Line If a majority vote for "continuance", it means that we will have a better law more effectively enforced, with correspondingly improved results. The Government, through the Prime Minister, has definitely pledged itself to "strengthen" the Act and "give it active and vigorous enforcement", If a majority vote for "Sale", it means the re-establishment of the old, discredited Liquor Traffic, in the guise of respectability under a system that makes the Government the bar- tender and every citizen a partner, acting as sales agent for the brewers and distillers and making profit for them out of the destruction of life and happiness. | res ESS Rich Tab!

The infant is a delicate organism and answers rapidly to any adverse in- ' fluence exerted upon it; therefore, it is necessary to ensure a high standard of health by removing adverse in- fluence. Poverty of parents is a most important factor for evil in this conne 1 In all our large cities af the present time, the nurses and workers in Child Welfare are handi- capped by the shortage of houses, the cvercrowded state of those that exist, and in many cases, the unsanitary | dwellings that are necessarily allowed {to be inhabited because there is no accommodation for their inhabitants if these dwellings were closed. The provision of additional housing ac- .commodation is most urgent, but this problem in too many instances is not with the vigor which its urgency demands. ! Among the causes of infantile death the following are the most importnat:: ' climate, season, housing, alcohol, veneral disease, diet, poverty and em-~ ployment, From these primary causes, two others stand out forcibly: 1--Want of knowledge 2--Want of Character Infants die from lack of knowledge ° on the part of the mother or fathem or of others who have prsonal super vision «of hem, but they also die from the ignorance of the statesman, legislator and the municipal eouncillo : Infants however, die from selfishness | ing of infant life, than to impart that spirit of self-sacrifice and unselfishness which is necessary if his knowledge is to be put into operation. instance, far easier to make moher un- affords her infant the best chance of survival Day or Night Calls Promptly 'AUTO TIRES AND TUBES than it is to induce her to make the necessary sacrifice of pleasure or re- numerative employment which are often involved if this maternal duty is ntéended to. Again, it may be quite easy to make our municipal outhori- the ; It is, for APR Ts ,of the same individual, both in their | private and in their public capacities. 3 It is much easier to acquire the dis- i seainate that knowledge of mother- | craft which is necessary for the sav- |i 21 i ties understand that bad housing con- ditions, overcrowding, tuberculous . mates, and impure water supply, and bad scavenging of the streets are never associated with a low infant morality and a high standard of health ! but, it is quite another thing to induce them to incur the risks and unpopu-: - larity which the czrrying out of the indicated reforms would entail. A want of appreciation of these esienit- ally haman elements in the problems explains many of the failures of other- wise admirably designed schemes of welfare work. In some cases, efforts of reform have unex pectedly met with { (-] most, encouraging success, owing again | . Stoc to the magnetic influence of some com- ow : mn by manding personality who has succeed- | orl in compelling socievy to make the necessary sacrifice, whether personal for attaining the desired end.
