PROTECT YOURSELF
FROM INSECT BITES
The season has now arrived during
which -those “winged demons” of for
est and field, the bloodsucking mos
quitoes, black-flies and biting midges,
appear, and often make life uncom
fortable for man and beast. Outdoor
Workers and others, whose occupa
tions or pleasure-seeking activities
expose them to the attacks of these
insects may secure considerable re
lief by the use of one or several re
pellent mixtures recommended in a
pamphlet 'prepared by the Dominion
Entomological Branch, and available,
on application, from the Publicity and
Extension Branch, Dominion Depart
ment of Agriculture, Ottawa. These
preparations are made by mixing cer
tain essential oils in a base or carrire,
and are applied to the skim Their ef
fect is only temporary, but they are
of great value in warding off attacks,
especially when the insects are very
numerous. Several df tbe recommend*

Making Temperance Easy
# This advertisement is inserted by the Brewing
Industry in the interest of a better public understand
ing of certain aspects of the problems of temperance
and local options
Mt
Prohibition, it has been definitely proved, does not make
temperance easy. In fact it makes drunkenness ''smart”. s
We—the Brewing Industry—submit that the path of
moderation is the way' to true temperance.
We realize that our championship of the present law in
Ontario will be ascribed by prohibitionists to self interest.
For it is true that we are in business to earn money. In fact
directly and indirectly we provide a living for thousands.
This circumstance however does not prevent us from having
the same sense of social responsibility as other decent citizens.
In fact, to make temperance easy is our only sensible policy,
because in a temperate community agitators for prohibition
can get no foothold.
And we know that in fact only by temperance winning its
battle, can we defeat the bootlegger and save this province
from the evils he brings*
Consider what has already been achieved since the repeal
of prohibition...
Respect for law and order is being restored ... ‘
Secret drinking has been reduced to the minimum.. .
Illicit manufacture has been made unprofitable ...
Youth is no longer faced with the temptation to consider
law-breaking clever, drunkenness a distinction!
Let us maintain these advantages. Let us not play into
the hands of the bootlegger by substituting prohibition for
self-control.
