Jonathan Gotorth that, while im conversation with a delegate to the Presbyterian General Assembly at Owen Soun he dis- eovered the smell of liquor on his breath, goes to show what a great advance temperance has made dur- ing the last fifty or sixty years. is not more than that length of time since the bar wa8 abolished from the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland where it always had a place for the convenience of the commis- sioners in attendance. There are still residing in this county men who were present at the Assembly meet- ings when this was a feature—Mil- verton wm OUR ATTITUDE Though the editor ff this pa- per, editorially and otherwise, is giving support to the temp- erance cause, and in connec- tion with the present issue fav- ors retention of the Ontario fobnauahe Act and any and every measure intended for making it more effective, there is the possibility, im the face of thig, that some readers will be inclined to question the con- sistency of our stand in allow- ing advertisements of those with views rymgeteld to ours to =o in this wish our a be be franks and clear. In deciding to throw our advertising col- umns open for the discussion of the issue, pro and con, we are simply . doing what the great majority of the newspa- pers of the province have seen fit to do, among them the Tor- onto Globe and London Adver- tiser, two papers that are giv- ing outstanding support to the temperance cause. That the monetary question was of no weight conse~ quence, as far as effecting our decision,’ most readers will be ‘charitable enough to concede, for this is a trifling cousidara- subterfuge by advancing that such adver- tising is permissible to-duy be-~ cause’the issne is not what it has been in years gone by, a simple choice between wet” and “dry,” for in cur opinion n be purchased ‘by individuals? whom may it be sold? What will be the hours for dispensing it. To these and other questions we have no an- swer aS to what the Government pro- poses in the.event of the O. T. A. be- ing defeated. Government Control is not the proper term. It should be called “sovernment sale." The present O. T. Av was passed by the government and is enforced by government of- ficers. What is really provided in the ballot is a choice of the present law and the sale of liquor by Government. Wherever this Government sale has ‘been tried it has been a failure. It has failed in Sweden where -it originated, in the United States, in Quebec, in British Columbia and Manitoba. Conditions in the western provinces and ec are reported as being infinitely worse than under our loosely enforced O.T.A that Government Con- trol will do away with bootlegging. Rev. W. . Peck, Secretary of the Prohibition forces in British Colum- bia, stated in Blyth last week that there are six bootleggers to one dur- ing prohibition and the illegal sale is the despair of the government. The bootlegger can wundersell the Government and his hours of sale are not limited. Others say that under Government Control the taxes would decrease, (owing to the great revenue coming ‘into the provincial coffers. The same gentleman referred to above produc- ed tax papers from Vancouver show- that on the same assessment a tax . $68 in 1919 had increased to $140 "the same promises and statements ae by the Moderation League in C. are being made to-day in On- tario.

Just yes- terday I heard a mother use it. “Blow your nose, you dirty boy. I should think you'd be ashamed.” I am asking parents to substitute the word “wipe” for “blow.” Blow- ing the nose has done damage to thousands and is one of the most pro- ductive causes to catarrhal deafness. The necessity for giving special attention to the toilet of the nose is most pronounced when one is afflict~ ed with an acute nasal catarrh, he t when inflamed excrete an unusual a- moant of a mixture of mucous an serum which creates at first a wat- ery, rather acrid discharge, thin e- nough so that it flows altogether too freely for comfort. Such a discharge must be wiped from the nose fre- quently to allow any degree of com- fort. It does not prompt any severe “blowing But Teaitensogsly with the dis- charge is a swelling of the mucore membrane. Sometimes this swollen ee blocks the nostrils to such n extent as to make nasal breathing very difficult t ig at this stage that the inclin- ties to blow the nose seizes the pa- tient. The blowing is genefally worse than ineffective, for a swollen mem- brane ¢annot be dislodged in that way. ‘Indeed, the swelling mey in- crexse with the . blowing. «But the Worst. feature does not Hein the In- but fase positive. harm that it does.
