revenue. Also Mr. Miller reminds the
operators of stills that they are run
ning afoul of the law.
Plenty of agents will be available
for ferreting out prohibition law
breakers, is the cheerful announce
ment of the collector of internal rev
enue, and the public, individually and
collectively, may as well understand
now as later that "they can't get
away with it."
"By the terms of the national pro
hibition act, the enforcement of which
is placed In charge of the internal
revenue bureau," says Mr. Miller, "any
room, house, building, boat, vehicle,
structure or place of any kind where
intoxicating liquor is sold, manufac
tured, kept for sale or bartered in
violation of this act, and all intoxicat
ine: liauor and all property kept and
used in maintaining such a place, isl
declared to be a public and common
nuisance, and any person who main
tains or assists in maintaining such a
place shall be guilty of a misde
meanor, and upon conviction shall be
fined not more than $1000 or impris
oned for not more than one year, or
both.
Burden . Placed on Owner.
"This places a burden upon the
owner of property which may be used
for illicit purposes, and if such person
has knowledge that his property is so
occupied for use. the property shall
be subject to a lien for and may be
sold to pay all fines and costs as
sessed against the occupant of such
building or property.
"Owners of property should there
fore be extremely careful as to the
use made of their property when
rented, and they, in common with the
state, countv and city officials, and
civic organizations, should co-operate
with the bureau of internal revenue to
the end that prohibition may be thor- j
oughly and effectively enforced and
that the' reputation of the American
people as law-abiding citizens may
not he brought Into disrepute.
"No law can be effectively enforced
except with the assistance of the law
abiding element, and we are putting
into operation the necessary organi
sation to co-operate with the public
in the rigid enforcement of the pro
hibition measure. The penalties pro
vided by the law are very severe, the
fines being as high as $2000 and im
prisonment as much as five years.
Collector Imnucs Warning.
"A word of warning is issued to
those who feel that they see an op
portunity of making a good deal of
money through the illicit manufacture
and selling of liquors. A large force
will be available for ferreting out vio
lations. "A person may not manufacture a
still without paying a special tax as
such manufacturer, and a certain tax
on every till manufactured. There
fore, any tinner or plumber who man
ufactures a still or worm to be used
by any other person violates the law,
unless he first pays a special tax as
such manufacturer and a tax on
every still manufactured.
"It is urged that men engaged in
the metal trades should be very cau
tious in accepting orders for anything
that may be used in connection with a
still and to report to my office in the
event that they are solicited to- man
ufacture such articles.
Property May Be Forfeited.
"This office has in the last few
niotit hs taken up a large number of
sti I Is which were in illicit operation I
and it is found that the operators of,
these stills usually make the plea that!
they are set up for personal use and
not for commercial purposes. They
then try to plead ignorance of the law
and ask for leniency, but this cannot
be granted because the very act of
sotting up the still is criminal, and
immediately renders the owners or
operators subject to arrest and vigor
ous prosecution. If the still is oper
ated on rented property the owner of
the pi operty is also compromised and
the property may be forfeited for the
payment of any fines or penalties as
sessed against the renter.
"My office will rigidly follow the
law and regulat ions, and will not
show any favoritism. The man who
engages in illicit traffic in and manu
facture of liquor is a law-breaker
and he cannot look for leniency. The
people of this country, at every op
portunity they have had, have spoken
emphatically in favor of prohibition
and it is the function of the govern
ment to follow the will of the people.
"I urge any one who may feel that
he can get away with the manufac
ture of liquor to bear in mind that
he is bound to be caught and when
he is caught he will find the conse
quences extremely unpleasant.

TRY A LITTLE SALTS IF
AND BLADDER ARE
TROUBLING YOU
Salts Flushes Kidneys Without
Injury, Also Neutralizes Uric
Acid ; Ends Bladder Irritation.
Kidney and Bladder weakness re
sult from uric acid, says a noted au
thority. The kidneys filter this acid
from the blood and pass it on to the
bladder, where it often remains to
irritate and inflame, causing a burn
ing, scalding sensation, or setting up
an irritation at the neck of the blad
der, obliging you to seek relief two or
three times during the night. The
sufferer is in constant dread, the wa
ter passes sometimes with'a scalding
sensation and Is very profuse; again,
theri is difficulty In avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, mobt folks call
it, because they can't control urina
tion. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ail
ments to overcome. Get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from your phar
macist and take a tablespoonf ul in a.
glas of water before breakfast, con
tinue this for two or three days. This
will neutralize the acids in the urins
so it no longer is a source of irrita
tion to the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders
caused by uric acid Irritation. Jad
Salts is splendid for kidneys and
causes no bad effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effer
vescent lifhia-water drink, which,
quickly relieves bladder trouble. Adv.
