The measure is designated to make conviction of liquor law violators easier and to make sentences heavier. Butine** V*. Boose The Northwestern Christian vocate in an editorial answers question, “What becomes of money that used to be used booze?” “Five years ago the prophets said that in prohibition the hotel business had received a mortal blow, Great1 hotels have been built in a thousand' cities since then; the business is a respectable rival of radio, the mov-i ies and the automobile in its attrae-! tiveness to capital seeking profita- ble investment. Facts such as these could be giv- en in large variety and in endless detail, They help to answer the question, ‘What becomes of the money which used to be spent for booze?’ “Pohibition, as everybody knows, is here to setay. Sut it is the busi ness of every decent citizen to see that lawlessness isn’t. In most' communities the crystallizable senti-' meat is strong, at any moment, to put the bootlegger out of business.” We carry a large variety of Luncheon Meats In these fine spring days, when ‘Old Sol’ begins the warming of the earth in preparation of bringing forth the harvests of the fields, one’s am bition is renewed—one’s pulse beats faster, and the appetite is a little keener.

Corn, peas and string beans 7 tins A survey was recently conducted by the Christian Science Monitor, when the heads of organizations representing 13,500,000 Americans, were interviewd. It was reported; then: “The results of this exten-j sive inquiry are significant and en- couraging. Replies indicate that instead of the threatened collapse of the dry sentimeint, the prohibi- tion forces were never stronger than they are right now. Prohibition, it seems from the Monitor survey, has virtually nothing to fear, although watchfulness on the part of those whose special duty it is to support and enforce the law is vitttally necessary. The great body of sta ble thought which has beein shown to lie back of prohibition carries with it the assurance that, given a reasonable length of time and the continued, active support of the Christian people of the United States, the opposition of the prohi tion amendment will fade away into complete insignificance.
