from a moral is well as a popular
standpoint, reduce drunkentteaa and'
stamp out illegal traffito. If tills can-
not be done under the system, it is
not likely that the life of the new
legtion will be long, for it was
obvWus that a majority wits rolled up
for government control at the recent
plebiscite under the belief that the
illicit selling and lawlessness that
obtained under the former act would
, be stamped out when the government
became sole vendor of liquor in the
province.
Because they are new and conse-
quently novel, the proposed provis-
ions of the British Columbia system
of control are exceptionally interest-
ing. Every resident of'the province
who desires to quench his thirst at
the fountain of Bacchus must carry
a permit issued by the government
for which he will be assessed five
dollars per annum and non-residents
seekigg similar privileges, under the
sed act, would pa}l five dollars
r a thirty -day permit. Permits of
those convicted of excessive drinking
may be cancelled by officials. Two
quarts was to be made the limit of
a single purchase and uniform price
was to be established all over the
province, the government paying ex-
tra shipping expenses to points dis-
tant from their shops. Tender the
proposed act, consumption of liquor
is to be permitted guests in hotel
rooms, but no drinking is to be al-
lowed in public places and drunken-
ness in any place is to constitute a
punishable offence. No person less
than 21 years of age is to be served
with liquor and the new law will hold
a host responsible for drunkenness
occurring on his premises or in his
home. Another provision to be in -
eluded is that individual municipali-
ties are to receive half the profits
resulting from the government sole
of intoxicants.
The administration of the new law
is to be in the charge of what is
known as the liquor control board, a
commission to be appointed by the
lieutenant -governor -in -council- prob-
ably a board consisting of a chuirrnar
and two other members. Broad
powers are to be vested in the liquor
control board, subject,,, of course, to
the regulations laid down for them to
enforce. They are to have complete
charge of the government liquor
stores and of the officials and clerical
forces thereof. The members of the
liquor control board are subject to
removal from office for cause.
There can be no transfer of per-'
sonal permits to purchase liquor, and
on cancellation of a permit all gov-
ernment stores will .be notified. In
buying liquor the holder of a govern-
ment permit must write out his order
and sign it, stating on the order the
serial number of his permit. Per-
mits trust be produced for inspection
when purchases are made. Only in-
dividual permits are to be legal, none
being issued to any corporation, as-
sociation, society or partnership. All
liquor purchased under permit from a
government store must be in a sealed
package which may not be opened on
the premises or partaken of in a pub-
lic place.
The B. C. act will permit of limited
sale of intoxicants by druggists, but
only. in cases where liquor is prescrib-
ed by physicians for medicinal pur-
poses. Even then the druggists must
sell the intoxicant in the sealed pack-
age as obtained from the government
store and at the government price
marked on the package. Dentists,
veterinaries and heads of institutions
caring for the afflicted are also al-
lowed to keep a limited stock. The
'Indian lister' will still .be barred since
no permit may be issued to any per-
son to whom the sale of intoxicants
is forbidden under the Indian act.
The proposed penalties for infrac-
tions of the B. C. act are perhaps
the most drastic in the Dominion.
Six months' imprisonment is prescrib-
ed for all first offences under the head
of illegal sale of liquor, no fine be-
ing mentioned, and a second offence
is liable to bring the convicted one
twelve to twenty-one months on the
rock -pile. Corporations are to be
levied a fine of $1,000 for a first of-
fence and $2,000 to $3,000 fora sec-
ond offence. Inspectors will be em-
powered to enter any premises, priv-
ate or otherwise, for the purposes
of search.
While the individual municipalities
receive half the profits from the gov-
ernment sale of intoxicants, it is also
obligatory for them to enforce the
law and should they fail to do so ac-
tion may be taken by the liquor con-
trol board with the cost of such ac-
tion being charged against the negli-
gent municipalities' share of revenue.
From the boundary of British
Columbia in the Rockies east for a
distance of about 700 miles as the
crow flies is an area of almost abso-
lute drouth, and should Ontario pass
the referendum this month it would
make the direct length of the "near
bone-dry" area one thousand four
hundred miles with a depth from the
limits of the Northwest territories
and the shores of Hudson's Bay to
the international boundary line.
The three western provinces, Al-
berta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba,
previously under prohibition by virtue
of the Canada Temperance act, voted
on a referendum on October 26th,
1920, to prohibit importation of in-
toxicants and carried it only a few
days after British Columbia had vot-
ed to abolish its temperance act in
favor of government control system,
by a heavy majority-thopgh it was
apparent a great number of electors
didn't seem sufficiently interested to
turn up at the polls to , vote either
way.^ Once he leaves Elie Rockies
coining east it is impossible for the
devotee of the flowing,bowl to secure
an intoxicating drink legally while
traveling over the fourteen hundred
miles mentioned, and doubly difficult
to secure it even illegally before the
train passes over the Mantoba bound.,
sty into Ontario. Not till Quebec
province is reached can liquor be pur-
chased legally for beverage purposes.
In Alberta, Saskatchewan and Man-
itoba as the bootlegger's pre -referen-
dum stocks grow lower and lower the
illegal sale of liquor is becoming eor-
reepondifbegly less and leas, but he
stfll p his trade and no doubt is

still importing a certain amount of
intoxicants by devious means in spite
of the act. A great deal of difficulty
in proper enforcement was for a time
experienced through a certain few
doctors issuing prescriptions for
liquor indiscriminately, but this has
been pretty well obviated by prosecu-
tions and convictions of offending
physicians.
As to whether the three prairie
provinces will remain under the tem-
perance act with importation forbid-
den permanently is a piece of history
still in the lap of the gods. There
have already been agitations started
in all three provinces for a plebiscite
on the question of sale of liquor un-
oer governmentcontrol, similar to
the system thatnow obtains, ur is
to obtain, in British Columbia. In
' order to obtain such a plebiscite at
lerst eight per rent. of the people
must petition for it, but in view of
i, the difficulties in which British
Columbia foul itself with regard to
preventing importation after the
passing of government control, west-
ern legislators are inclined to wait
and see just how their sister province
at the coast comes out, In other
words, British Columbia is going to
be allowed to play the part of buffer
with government control until her
sister provinces see just what she
makes out of it, If her trial of gov-
ernment sale of liquor prove a failure
it will likely never be tried else-
where, except in Quebec, which pro-
vince has its own original ideas of
liquor legislation.
The province of Ontario, which
votes on the question of prohibiting
importation, has perhaps been in the
spotlight more than any other princi-
pally because of the sensational hap-
penings in connection with the at-
tempt to stop booze -smuggling opera-
tions along the Detroit river border,
the shootiltg; of Beverley Trumble
during a r ouse raid and the sub'
Sequent trial on a charge of man-
slaughter of Rev. J. 0. L. Spracklin
license inspector, who slew him, as
the jury found, in self-defence. Since
the wartime prohibition in January,
1920, when interprovincial traffic in
liquor was made legal, bootlegging
has been carried on extensively in
Ontario in spite of the heapy fines
and jail sentences imposed on those
convicted. The value of liquor con-
fiscated in the last twelve months is
quoted by the Ontario license cora
missioners in their annual report as
$108,138.75, not including questionable
intoxicants which were destroyed.
The government dispensaries also
seem to have been doing a thriving
business. According to the commis-
sion's report during the year ending
April 30, 1920, the gross profits of
the head office and .the seven branch
dispensaries throughout Ontario .were
1$1,380,920.35,' which, after deducting
all expenses. On the outside Quebec's
attitude on the liquor question has
been wrongfully judged, to a large
extent by what has been going on in
Montreal and Hull, and when a visitor
from the dry provinces mentions those
particular situations, the Quebec man
shrug's his shoulders, smiles and re-
torts, "Yes, yes, but you know Mon-
treal has shipped $34,000,000 worth
of liquor to the other eight provinces
in a little better than a year and a
half."
Quebec's.new liquor law by which
the government takes over exclusive
ownership of all hard liquors in the
province, though receiving its promi-
nence in the public mind through the
unqualified support of Premier L. A.
Tascherepu, who said his government
was prepared to stand or fall by it,
is really the brain -child of J. A.
Begin, comptroller of provincial rev-
enue, who has made a close study of
the liquor situation .as it obtained in
all civilized countries for the past
thirty years.

One important feature of tihe new
Quebec enactment is that any or all
separate municipalities in the prov-
ince may exclude government depots
from territory inside their boundaries
by referendum of the people or by-
law passed by their elected municipal
councils- The "Indian list" under the
Quebec act is quite drastic and, on
application to the commission, any
dependent of an individual may have
hien or her placed on the interdicted
list if it is shown that their abuse
cf '.ntoxicants is injuring themselves
or c thers.
New Brunswick is under the Fame
ri gulations as Ontario. I'rohib,tion
forces nave been working hard for a
referendum on the importation ques-
tion similar to the referendgm soon
to be taken in Ontario. Nova Scotia
has the same prohibitory legislation
us New Brunswick supplemented by
an act forbidding importation of in-
toxicants and is on a plane with the
prairie provinces.
Prince Edward Island is Canada's
only "bone-dry" province. There full
advantage is taken of the provisions
of the Doherty act. In 1917, P. E. 1.
passed an act giving complete con-
trol of the handling of intoxicants to
a commission composed of six church-
men --three Roman Catholic priests
and three Protestant clergymen. A
wholesale distributing centre is lo-
cated at Charlottetown and retail de-
pots at six points throughout the
Island. The commission further has
jurisdiction over all intoxicants dis-
posed of for industrial, medicinal,
sacramental and other permitted pur-
poses. Importation into P. E. I. by
any other than the authorities is for-
bidden, and private individuals are
not allowed to keep a stock on their
premises. The P. E. 1. act was draft-
ed by W. E. Bentley, K.C.
Dominion -wide importation of
foreign intoxicants provides interest-
ing official figures. For the fiscal
year ending March, 1920, Canada
imported 1,829,120 gallons of harder
intoxicants, valued at $8,000,881, of
which 314,341 gallons were for in-
dustrial purposes and 693219 gal-
lons of non -sparkling wines and
champagnes, valued at $1,222,769.
Tonal intoxicants imported to Canada
for beverage purposes for the fiscal
year amounted to 2,234,993 gallons,
valued at $5,228,826, and the duty
collected therefrom amounted to
$4,401,285.
Importation of intoxicants by the
provinces during the calendar year
ending December 31, 1920, were as
follows: Ontario, 338;569 gallons;
Quebec, 3,306,019 gallons; Nova Scotia
64,666 gallons; New Brunswick, 81,-
244 gallons; Prince Edward Island,
14,000 gallons; Manitoba, 199,839 gal-
lons; Saskatchewan, 254,177 gaTlona;
Alberta, 135,539 gallons and British
Columbia, 323,264 gallons. Figures
for importation to Yukon Territory
are not available. -By Charles Chris-

PAIN IN THE ABDOMEN
Colic, or pain in the abdomen, pop-
ularly called stomachache, is a bless-
ing. The person who suffers the
acute pain of appendicitis or of renal
or gallstone colic might question this
assertion; but hemust not forget
what help it gives to the doctor who
is called to relieve the pain in de-
termining what is the trouble. In
appendicitis the pain is great; it
usually becomes acute when anyone
presses the abdomen on the right side
below the middle. When the pain
subsides slowly it indicates that the
inflammation is reduced, but when it
stops suddenly it often indicates that',
gangrene has set in.
Imagine a perpendicular line drawn
through the middle of the abdomen
from top to bottoms. Pain in the up-
per part of that line indicates trouble
in the stomach; pain iii the middle
indicates trouble in the small intes-
tine, and pain At the bottom indi-
cates trouble either in the large in-
testine or in the bladder.
The upper part of the abdomen or
pit of the stomach is the seat of pain
in so many ailments that, unless
other more distinctive signs are pres-
ent, it is of small value as a guiding
symptom; it merely means that there
is something wrong.
Renal colic makes itself felt main-
ly on the right or the left side of the
abdomen just below the ribs; the colic
of gallstones is usually situated in
the centre or a little above and to
the right -a spot in which the pain
of ulcer of the stomach also fre-
quently shows itself.
Sometimes the patient feels a
definite pain in the abdomen when
nothing is wrong with the abdominal
organs. For example, a patient with
locomotor ataxia or Pott's disease of
the spine often feels a dull ache in
the abdomen, and a patient with
pneumonia, especially if he is a child,
may sometimes feel much pain there.
Sometimes a man with heart disease
feels the pain in his abdomen instead
of in his chest; and eyestrain not
infrequently excites paroxysms of
"stomachache," which disappear
promptly if the sufferer is given pro-
per glasses. Moreover, some people
have more or leas abdominal pain
whenever they are exhausted either
mentally or physically.
