' All nlaces sell ins linuor are aoe-
daily mentioned in this law. There
Is another law which prohibits the

While the direct restraining order Is
a matter of Importance only to those
directly affected, indirectly this is
important In deciding the question
whether to make the order perma
nent, the court will doubtless express
views as to the constitutionality of
the law.

will be an unusually fine program
for this evening. This Is the final :
contest In a series which begins with I

Why olU Are Itauftwotift.
Because you have contracted or
dinary colds and recovered from
them without treatment of any kind. ;
do not for a moment Imagine that :
colds are not dangerous. K very one j
knows that pneumonia and chronic 1
catarrh have their origin in a com- '
m on cold. Consumption is not ran-;
sed by a cold but tne cold prepares
the system for the reception and de-
velopment of the germs that would
not otherwise have found lodgment. I
It Is the same with all Infections dis- ;
eases, Diphtheria, scarlet fever, 1
measles and whooping cough are I
much more likely o lie contracted
when the child has a cold. You will i
see from this that more real danger
lurks in a cold than In any other of
the common ailments. The easiest ;
and quickest way to cure a cold is to '
