It proved a failure: intemperance increased; illicit stills could group of opinion should be represented in not be controlled. They have now adopted the representative body in proportion to what is'called the Blatt System of Indi- cts your strength -that majorities may viduat Control. This has been so satis- factory that it is abou' to be adopted by Norway. The :ale of liquor is confined to a few companies controlled by the local authorities. Throe companies must pay afl profits over five per cent. to the Gov• ernment. Every person who wants to purchase liquor must first obtain a license to buy from the nearest vendor. The license limits the amount which may be purchased. It may be refused for good reasons and may be cancelled if the license is abused. Every license bears the signature of the purchaser. and has coupons attached which are held as vouchers for liquor sold. A card system is kept by the vendor, with the record and duplicate signature of every licensee. A committee of sensable men could easily formulate a scheme along these lines which will tit this Province. The under- lying principle is control of the consumer. I have given the outstanding points Of this system. There are other regulations which make the control compete.

Ottawa. Oct. 7. -Thorough endorsation Of the Victory loan of 1919 is expressed by Hon. W. L.

Mr King lays emphasis upon the necessity for the maintenance of Canada's reedit and the desirability- that the money required to meet the pressing obligations of the nation should be raised at home. That is his letter: "Ottawa, Sept. 10. 1919. "My Dear Sir Henry.- I am pleased to join you in commending the Victory loan to the people of Canada.

TELEPHONE service, like other public services, undoubtedly suffered through the war. Hundreds of skilled telephone workers went overseas. Many trained operators sought temporary positions in munition plants. There was a world shortage of the materials that go to build a telephone sys- tem. Our reserves of plant and equipment were drawn upon until they were practically exhausted. Necessary- repairs and mainten- ance work had to wait. Then came the armistice. The business world sprang into intense activity. The de- mand for new installations all over our system was enormous. Now comes the task of getting back to normal—restoring our reserve plant, over- taking arrears of maintenance and repairs, hurrying new construction of local and long distance equipment to meet pressing demands for service. Our plans for this year involve an outlay for extensions and replacements of over $7,000,000. We are giving intensive training in our operators' schools to hundreds of young women to prepare them for central office positions. Our chief concern is that our subscribers should get the best possible service under all conditions. Skilled workers, adequate equipment, a resolve to do our hest, while realizing that we are all servants of the public --these are the factors which, we hope, will. result in the maintenance of the pre-war standard of telephone service. And we ask the kindly co-operation of all telephone users in - Making sure of the number by consult- ing the directory before calling; Speaking distinctly, directly into the mouthpiece; Answering promptly when the bell rings.

Notwithstanding the above facts. the makers are aaare that the public has a short memory and to curtail on the advertising would invite forgetfulness, so rather than risk this forgetfulness they continue to pay the premiums on their "business insurance" policy. Scott's Emulsion will be found adver- tised in this paper. and if the makers think well enough of our publication to use it as their medium to gain publicity, consistent use of our columns will surely give standing and a definite asset fur future expansion to others.

MacVicar North side Square, Goderich To the Voter TO establish that the 2.51% beer to be voted on—the "Beer of the Ballot"—is not intoxicating, The Ontario Brewers' Association deposited $5,000 with the ' Canada Per- manent Trust Company on September 16th. q On September 19th, The Ontario Brewers' Association formal!), challenged the Refer- endum Committee through the Press to deposit an equal amount with the same Trust Company to support their con- tention that this beer is intoxi- cating. ntoxi- cating. q That challenge has never been accepted—clear admittance by the ReferendumCommittee they do not consider that they have a case. It is too late now to make the tests and render a decision before the day of voting —October 20th—but the failure of the Referendum Committee to answer our challenge will not be overlooked by the man or woman who votes on facts and evidence, and not on sentiment or false statements. 41 -We again assert that 2.51% beer—"The Beer of the Ballot"— is not intoxicating. Tests have only recently been made which prove this conclusively —v. c will mail a copy of the test to anyone — sufficently interested to -write for it. q Moreover, while the " Beer of the Ballot" has an alcoholic strength of but 2.51%, official tests made by the laboratory of the Inland Revenue Department —published in Bulletin 196— showed that the beers on general sale before The Ontario Tem- perance Act and Prohibition were enacted, had an alccholic content ranging as high as 7,;,:' by welg t meararr--•-r. ct:ca'i'y three times as t. beer to be voted on October 23th. Even such American beers as were sold in Canada and always spoken of as as very light, non -intoxicating b:.ers," were over fifty per cent. stronger than the "Beer of the Ballot." q The " Beer of the Ballot " is a mildly stimulating, healthful and refreshing beverage, brewed from a high grade of malt and hops—containing only sufficient alcohol to make it digestible and nourishing. 3 Ontario Brewers' A ssoci; It i ()1
