Dr. Howard Crosby, who is doing so good it

proves of the use of ale, beer and light wines.
He said to a reporter the other day : " Thee
there is the ale and beer license. Of that I
thoroughly approve. if wish there was an ale
and beer saloon in place of every grog shop in
the city. what I hope to see accomplished is
the prevention of crime, v'hieh can bo directly
traced in alanost every instance to spirits. I
too not believe that beer causes crime. It may
,stupefy then when drank in groat quantity, but
it doss not inflame."
