Consumption of ice cream has decreased; soda fountains show a loss of trade and many former attendants are looking for a job. A greater evil, however, than the reduction of material comfort is the increased number of new drinkers. The beer parlours are the brewers’ recruiting stations. All the glam­ our of bright lights, attractive sur­ roundings and social custom would combine to break down the opposi­ tion of youth to what is called “The Harmless Social Glass of Beer.” Promising youth is the raw material what is the finisher product? A candid liquor salesman admitted that while he- had never known an habitual drinker to have been help­ ed by liquor, he had known scores who had lost self-respect, whose in­ tegrity had been undermined, whose whole experience had been lowered by a habit that dismantled his clothes ragged promise of life. The greatest traffic is the moral waste, A secre­ tary of the Big 'Brother Movement made an investigation into the an­ tecedents of forty-eight boys under Pearce to the Provincial the two hundred by the Provincial Prohibition Union. emptied his pockets, home, made his and destroyed the waste of the liquor twenty-two who are now in Domin­ ion penitentaries and submitted the report to the Canadian Council of Child Welfare. These showed un­ satisfactory home conditions to be the cause of delinquency and those conditions were not caused mainly by poverty, but by fathers who had court records or were drunkards and by mothers, dead or who had descri­ ed their homes or were divorced. The liquor traffic disrupts the home and is a real factor in creat­ ing crime. In provinces having the. beer par­ lours statistics show that the money expended in the beer parlous ex­ ceed the amount spent, in the liquor stores. It io quite plain that by increasing the number of places in Ontario for the sale of beer we may look for an increase in juven­ ile delinquency and boys and appearing in criminal courts.

BETTER CAKES and PASTRY and a GREATER YIELD per bag/ "Extra value” is the reason why so many thousands of women all over Canada use Five Roses Flour for every home-baking purpose. Mrs. Lambert P.Wigle, Essex County Bread Champion in the Five Roses Baking Contest told us: "My hus­ band says that he never tasted better pies and cakes than those that come out of my oven — they are so even, light and nice-tasting, and, while I have always been successful in turning out good food, I have had my very best results with Five Roses Flour. MI can warmly recommend it to other women who take a real interest in baking, and who wish to avoid acci­ dents like ‘fatty’ pastfy and soggy undercrusts. "It really saves you money, too, be­ cause it is always the same quality, so you can be sure of good results as long as you use good recipes. And it gives a bigger yield per bag.” Mrs. H. G. Powell, Essex County Cake Champion said: "My baking success is due to many things, but principal­ ly to using tire best stuff—‘fresh eggs, fine sugar and best shortening, good oven, sound common sense, and Five Roses Flour. I cannot over­ emphasize die importance of the last, for the flour is the keystone of die lot, and an ordinary flour can hard­ ly be expected to give the same splendid results in flavour and nourishment” OTHER COUNTY CHAMPIONS - JAN. 16 to 23 KENT—Cake.* Mrs. G.
