1,942,989 gallons of whiskey loss were
taken ont of bond for consumption in
1086 than the average taken out for the
dve preceeding years. The consumption
of beer and ale, according to the Blue
Book, was twenty-one percent less for
1886 Chau the average for the ten pre-
oeeding years. The pebple can't drink
more if they get less. Mark this.
In order to get rid of :the Scott Act the
liquor men' are now crying out for High
License. But high license does not alter
the moral character of the traffic:, nor
does it diminish the amount of drinking.
