Maryland passed a law prohibiting the aale of liquor into dry states. He said four Baltimore, Md., liquor dealers made a deal with Joseph-B. Wenger, operator of a Cairo wholesale liquor firm, in 1949 to supply liquor ito their outlets in the Carolinas. i Under the plan, Wenger pretendI ?d to ship liquor to dummy wholesalers under the names Os Wayne 3. Morris at Bristol, |Tenit. and WIL mer E. Harris at Laurel Creek, W. Va., Hart saidl ? ' Actually, he said, rhe liquor went to three confederates 'in North Carolina: Grpfton G. Burgess and : J. Cohen Icenhour of Taylorsville and Ervin R Davis of WinstonSalem. \ ii Hart said Morris is ,a' resident of Winston-Salkm and Harris lives at Lexington> bt.C. All six persons were indicted, along with Rubin Wishnia, Washington. D.C.. and Frederick P. Winner, Julius Markoff and Lou Jacobson, all of Baltimore. / i- :l \

Hart said Avishnia and the Baltimore meh had a business firm in Baltimore Tcnown as the Foster or Empire Distributing Co. Under the deal, the four got 50 percent of the gross profits, he said. 4 “To give you an idea of the size ojf this operation.” he said, “we eistijnate the 50 percent of the gross profits paid the Baltimore dealers for the first six months of their deal was <approximately $64,000.” Hart said it’s not illegal to ship liquor ,'into dry areas, so long as "proper records are kept and proper tax paid." The taxes were paid in this case, he said. The men were charged with making false listings on treasury department forms of the firms they did business With and with “aiding and abetting in such false entries.” Advice of Her Mother-In-Law Proves Helpful t Bit-- aB IA - t'' v |v • r1 X UcxXilfr — Mrs. W. O. Jones There .are a lot of jokes about methers-in-law; 'in fact, comedians just can’t seem to perform without making some reference to them. Bui there are many, many wonderful mothers-in-law in this old world who have the best interest of their sons-in-law and daughters-in-law at heart. Mrs. ' W. 0,1. Jones, 7244 N. Bell st., Chicago, 111., can certainly agree to that for when Mrs. y Jopes wasn’t" feeling well, her motherin - Ikw recommended HADACOL. And seemed to be just what Mrs.) Johes needed, and HADACOL may bring you the relief- you are seeking if you are weak and run-down due to lack of Vitamins Bi„ B-!, Niacin and Iron. ,1 Here is what Mrs. Jones says: ”1 am a housewife and mb|hklr of three children. I had b|en feeling very rtin-dowp, would fire :o easily, and just feel listless. -My mother-in-law suggested; I take HADACQL, as she had heard of it through friends of hers.| I just took it for a few days, when 1 noticed I was feeling stronger ' and seemed to have more lenergy. 1 continued taking HADACOL and it hVis certainly (milt up my strength. I am- no longer run-dowp, don’t tire |, nearly as much. I am now On my sixth large bottle of HADACQL, gnd intend to continue taking lit.” 5 HADACOL can help you if you suffer such deficiencies.
