Aims of the
NAVY LEAGUE
OF CANADA
To emphasize Canada's
opportunities and respon-
sibilitieson the sea.
To raise funds for the
relief of our merchant
seamen, injured In rose
mar, and fer dependents
of those who were killed:
To maintain tailors' homes
in our ports.
To train boys and young
moo for our merchant
ships by the organisation
of Boys' Naval Brigades.

Today, if you have any question in your mind
asto whether you should support the work
of the Boys' Naval Brigades, study the
matter with an eye to the future. Get clearly
in mind the tremendous importance of Can-
adian products reaching foreign markets,
which can only be assured by the building
of a great Canadian -Mercantile Fleet, maw
sod with Canadian Stamen!
We may build ships by the thousand, but if
we cannot man them ourselves our position
is still economically unsound. If we do not
train Canadian lads to man our merchant
fleet, we shall be left behind in the race for
export markets—we shall have missed the
greatest opportunity for trade expansion in
all history)
What will YOU do to help some Canadian
boy who is anxious to learn seamanship, and
so be of the greatest service to his country?
Let your contribution to the fund be a
worthy answer. Help them by giving)
of Thonk God I have done my duty!"

Brother of„Late Premier Whitney
Says Dry Law a Great Advantage
Mr. E. C. Whitney of Ottawa, bro-
thel of the late Premier, Sir James
Whitney, -writes an unsolicited ap-
peal for a dry Ontario in a recent
letter to Sir Wiliam Hearst. Mr.
Whitney was, perhaps, the late
Premiers most trusted adviser.
"As for Prohibition,"Mr. Whitney)
writes, "I was not originaly prohib-
itionist, but since the law has been in
force I have seen that it is a bene-
fit
enefit to the human race. I also know
from men I met form all parts of
Canada and the United States that
prohibition is proving a great- ad-
vantage to both countries.
"Last wek I met a gentleman who
travels all over the Dominion, and,
x
although .at first an opponent of pro-
hihiton he states that the decrease in
drunkenness has satisfied him," that
it Is a wise and necessary law. You
were, in my judgement, justified in
adopting this measure as a war pol-
icy and if the people vote to sustain
it permanently believe they will
make no- mistake.”
The officialform of ballot is shown
with the "X's" marked in the .proper
places to insure the benefits of which
the late Premier's brother writes.
'A ballot not marked four times is a
spoiled ballot. There is only one
method by which men and women
•cal keep the province clear of the
limir traffic. That •is by marking
four times in the "no" column as is
shown in the accompanying form.

O YOU KNOW—
that the beer sold in
Ontario previous to
prohibition ranged up to
over 7% alcoholic content by
weight measure, whilst the
"Beer of the Ballot"—the
beer for which you are
asked to vote October 20th
—has a strength of but
2.51%?
DO YOU KNOW—
that such well-known beers
manufactured in the United
States as Blue Ribbon, Bud-
weiser and Schiltz—always
spoken of as "very light
)anon -intoxicating beers"—
ranged up to 4.19%—sixty
per cent. stronger than the
"Beer of the Ballot"—the
beer for which you are
asked to vote October 20th?
CI DO YOU KNOW—
that in Maine, where pro-
hibition has been in force
over sixty years, the courts
have held that beer of 37.

intoxicating --and any beer
of under 3% strength was
permitted to be sold as
freely as ginger ale?
kl� DO YOU KNOW—
that in Sweden, Norway
and Denmark -as a result
of the findings of Govern-
ment commissions ap-
pointed to determine what
was an intoxicating liquor--
beer
iquorbeer of practically the same
strength as asked for in the
coming Referendum is re-

To ° the Voter
O establish that . the 2.51
beer to be voted on—the •
"Beer of the Ballot" --k
not intoxicating, The Ontario
Brewers' Association deposited ,
$5,000 with the Canada Per-
m ahent
er-manent Trust Company on
September 16th.
( On September 1.9th, The
Ontario Brewers' Association
formally challenged the Refer-
endum Committee through the
Press to deposit an equal
amount with the same Trust
Company to support. their cone
tention that this beer is intoxi-
eating.
Eli That challenge has never been
accepted—clear admittance by
theReferendurnCoanmittee 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 Ilan or
woman who votes on facts and
evidence, and not on sentiment
or false statements.
We again assert the 2.51%

mail a copy of the test to anyone
sufficently interested to write
for it.
Moreover, while the "Beer
of the Ealiot" 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 alcoholic
content ranging as high as 7.33%
by weight measure—practically
three times as strong as the
beer to be voted on October
20th. Even such American
beers as were sold in Canada
and always spoken of as "very
light, non -intoxicating beers,"
were over fifty per cent. stronger
than the "Beer of the Ballot."
jf 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
