A government in- spector comes along and a sample is seat to Ottawa, where the analysis proves that the article is adulterated, The merchant is fined $25, and costs. That law is poor. Why does the gov- exnment not go after the fraudulent manufacturer instead of the innocent storekeeper? • Prohibition, comes into force in On- tario after Seaptemb'er 16 of this year. This gives the license holder nearly four .mooths to sell his stock. Once i4a force prohibition will stand until June xaf 1919, when a vote of the people twill be 'taken to continue or repeal the measure. In case probibi- tion rs •.epealed in 1919 it will nota - feet .municypalities now under either local option or the Canada Temper- ance Act. This test of prohibition for ¢nearly three years will enable the public to try the measure thoroughly. How often do we hear a person say., "Oh, never mind a xeceipt; I'll only wear it out in array pocket." This atti- tude is more creditable to aperson's heart than to hats head, Don't follow such an example, Keep your receiiats. :A, business man may dies or fail, and sonteotne els have to collect his ac - Mints. In such a case if your pay- ment be not credited you will be ask- ed for payment of the account again. You could probably have convinced the mann to whom youipaid, the money Eat that man is gone.
