Then he said: "Daddy, if it got out of its cage and ate you up, what's the number of the bus I must take to get horse?" 111 Frequent di/For reIiecingdi8- comforts of chest. colds and night coughs, rub VapoRub on throat, chest, and backatbedtime.

J. Irvin, secretary of the Ontario Teutperanre federation. "The recent verdict of the supreme ,count of Ontario was that the Canada 'T'etn'pera:me Act is the law, of (he land," said Dr. Irwin. "It would seem that inview of that judgment it should 'be respected," in announcing, he 'had instructed all law enforcement officers to `ibear down" on offenders m jurisdictions where •re the C.T.A. was recently ruled to be in force, Attorney'General 'Con- ant said: `These instructions are en- tirely consistent with the govern- ment policy, previously announced. We will not enforce the C.T.A. !Mit we will enforce aggressively the I -C, A. to the fullest extent the law per- mits." "We appreciate the decision of the ,verument to enforce the law," said Dr. Irwin, "It is an improvement. The 1.. C.A.. in any case, will cover several offenses. But if the Ontario go,•ernanent succeeds in its attack on ;he Canada "Temperance Act it will not only destroy .for the whole prov- ince the p t slhility of comity local option, but it will immediately open to legal sale of liquor communities there it is now iiilegal under the C.T.A.. communities many of which ,have voted against such sale.
