THE "PRACTICAL" SIDE
ThOsie who look ou the "practical"
elite of things find many reasons for
refusing to give the liquor traffienny
firmer foothold lu Ontario than it haP

misnomer. The system propeeed by
Premier Ferguson really Melilla legit

Under whatever 'lame it means a less'
restricted sale of liquor and a greater
consumption of liquor. That is why
