'PROHIBITION CAN BE MADE REAL’ (Continued From Page 1) wrong; it <g either injurious to us as a nation or it is not; it Js either an evil, morally and socially, or it is not. If it is not wrong, not injurious, not an evil, let us entirely repeal the - amendment and stop fooling. Make Law Drastic Ts it is wrong, is injurious, is an evil, let us not moderate our enforcement laws, but, on the contrary, make them as drastic as possible. Is it reasonable to suppose that persons who may buy, sell and otherwise unlawfully handle liquor of 40 per cent alcohol, through preference alone, when the legal limit is less'than *4 of 1 per cent alcohol, will, through preference alone, voluntarily shift to a 7 per cent limit? I say through preference only, for why should a man confine himself to 7 per cent liquid just because it has become legal when for years he has used 40 per cent stuff, which was illegal? He prefers 40 per cent drinkables and will continue to use them no matter what laws we have. Is the object of prohibition to stop drnukenncss? If it Is, we must shut off all liquors with alcoholic contents. Break Up Wliole Trade Kven in Philadelphia, with practically no help front the courts, and other legal aid, with k only two or three judges sincerely pdoing their best to help, a few hundred policemen put a big dent in the rum trade, and had the support been genuine, all along the line, it would have been extremely difficult to buy liquor in Philadelphia. If liquor is wrong, we should make every effort for the benefit of succeeding generations, and not weakly fold our hands, lie down and say it is too much trouble. Such a course is not worthy of us as a nation. Face the Issue squarely, lay aside aij political bunk and either knock it out with a club or let It re main, but by all means stop this shadow boxing.

Prohibition Stays, View Prohibition has come to stay, I am convinced. It is no longer a national issue, but a local one. Metropolitan cities like Philadelphia are wet, but the people as a whole are dry, and I believe Philadelphia would go dry if an honest vote of the whole people could be taken. I have frequently been asked if the law Is a success, if It can be enforced. In answer I say that the constitutional amendment is certainly the first great step in the right direction, that the national enforcement act is a second, but should have more teeth in it, that the enforcement act of Pennsylvania is de|citledly faulty and probably was Biever intended to accomplish anything, but curb the use of liquor on the part of the so-called working classes, while it does not and was never designed to interfere with the so-called personal freedom of the well-to-do and influential. Better Than None However, it Ik better than no law, and if it does nothing else it gives the opportunity to keep the issue squarely before the people, who will eventually see s o-it that completely efficient laws are passed, that proper find drastic punishments are provided for violators and that honest men, faithful to their oaths, are Placed in public office. In other words, no confirmed drunkards will be placed on the benches of our courts, and no bootleggers appointed to positions

of importance to the success of enforcement—as was sometimes done in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. The principle of prohibition Is right, but the methods by the majority of politicians, who always play to the influential, to put it into effect have be&n nothing but bluffs of the most dangerous kinds, dangerous because they, give the people a false idea of ohr national ability to bring about a reform and lead the people to believe that all public officials are being debauched by this unjust law. Majority Stand Just . There can be nothing unjust in the majority insisting that the minority cease a habit the pursuit of which l is the source of 90 per cent of our crime and which, if allowed to run unchecked, would destroy our ascendency as a nation, commercially and otherwise. The present day enforcement may not have dried up all the liquor sources, but it has acutally gotten a good start and no one has ever prophesied where we would have been at present if wo had not made this effort to curb this vicious habit. The principle of the abolition of liquor and its use in America has not advanced farther because the great mass of otherwise well-behav"d people Is not convinced that the moderate use of alcohol is a crime, and that viola tors are criminals and should be treated as such. The majority of the people of Ameriia are undoubtedly dry, but will not fight for it. Having passed a dry laww of some kind they have satisfied their consciences and are through with It. Prohibition can only be completely successful by the dry majority becoming as viciously active for as the wets are most viciously active against its enforcement. The man voting dry says nothing, does nothing, gives nothing, while the wet Is busy, day and night, in doing everything to further his cause. Enforcement will drift along in a half-hearted way until someone

DR. W. B. CALDWELL AT THE AOE OF 83

To Dr. W. B. Caldwell of Montieello, 111., a-practicing physician for 47 years, it seemed ¥ruel that so many constipated men, women, children and particularly old folks, had to be kept constantly "stirred up" and half sick by taking cathartic pills, tablets, salts, calomel and nasty oils. While he knew that constipation was the cause of nearly all headaches, biliousness. Indigestion and stomach misery, he did not believe that a sickening “purge” or "physic" was necessary. In Dr. C&ldwell's Syrup Pepsin he discovered a laxative which helps to establish natural bowel "regularity” even for those chronically constipated. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin

gets hurt, then, as we did in the matter of slavery, people will suddenly discover that the use of liquor must cease and then It will, but not before. „ Prohibition can bo strictly enforced. Wo inuAt, first of all, have honest and eonseientious public officials—honest police vigorously directed, an honest, efficient and eonseientious group of magistrates, an Interested district attorney and courts that will mete out justice according to law. If dishonest officials are run out of office, the* public will find a suffi dent number of honest and willing men to take their places—men who will perform their duties acceding to their sworn oaths of office. I)rys Too Quiet The general public may be interested, but It doesn't show it. If there are any "drys” in Philadelphia, and there Vnust be hundreds of thousands of them, they are never in evidence. Those against liquor, the so-called "wets," are proud of their stand and talk and work constantly for repeal, while those known as "drys” are apparently ashamed of their position and keep quiet. I am not referring to the professional drys—these I place in the same class with all professional reformers. We found that wt men stand up better than men on the question of prohibition, and; in fart, on all questions of law enforcement and efforts for decency. In Philadelphia the police, despite everything, did their part in enforcing the dry laws. They raided, raided and raided. But what happened? The magistrates discharged most of the offenders; the grand juries refused to indict a part of the others; the district attorney's office was slow and apparently unanxious to institute criminal proceedings, and wnen some of the cases did finally reach the courts some of the learned jurists criticised the police efforts., thus prejudicing the minds of the jurors. Prohibition can be enforced, but not by police alone. It is exceedingly dangerous to

Inventor Cuts Gasoline COST AT LEAST 25* Now you can cut your gasoline cost as much as one-fourth. An amazing new invention makes practically any car give at least 25% more mileage to the gallon. Many run from 37 to 57 miles and up to 61 miles a gallon. This wonderful invention is the work of Mr. J. A. Stransky of Pukwana, South Dakota, Already it is being used by over a million satisfied car owners—on all makes and models of cars.

Fits Any Make or Model Here’s how this wonderful little device works —how it adds more powe-r find mileage to a motor: Every carburetor is adjusted to make starting easy—it gives a rich mixture to start a cold engine, llut once the engine gets heated up, the mixture is far too rich, resulting in faulty explosion. There is too much gasoline and not enough air. Half the gasoline is drawn into the cylinders in a raw state and, instead of exploding, it burns. This causes a heavy deposit of carbon. But with this startling little device in a car all this is changed. As soon as the engine warms up, this device automatically begins to admit a much larger volume of air, thoroughly vaporizing all the gasoline, giving it fully 50 per cent more power—breaking it up so that it explodes instead of burning. Imagine a ear running 28% miles on ordinary air—it doesn't seem believable, does it? This same car rui®2}%> miles on a gallon of gasoline. Hut with the use of this amazing new device it did 56 miles on a gallon—a gain of 28% miles, due simply to the introduction of Free Air. A Carbon Remover Not only does this invention save twenty-five per cent the gasoline, but it also saves the expense and time of having carbon scraped out —a

Dodge Makes 54.8 Miles on a Gallon of Gas I put one of them on my Dodge and gave it an acid test and found it to be all you represented it to be. Sold the other one for $4.00. I disconnected the gas pipe on vacuum tank and connected hose to the tank. I then went out on the pike, taking with me one quart of gas in a jug. Run the car until It stopped anj found I had gone 10.1 miles. I came back and connected the Vaporizer and used the hose and same amount of gas as before. Went out on same pike and run the car again until it stopped and the speedometor showed 13.7 miles.— R. C. Dempsey. * Truck Saves 14 Gallons Per Week After using your Vaporizer I find it will do everything you recommend it to do. lam driving a school truck and have been using 25 gallons of gas a week.

CHURCH BODY TO BACKSHUMAKER Praised in Address at Federation Meeting. Active exercise of church influence in behalf of Superintendent E. S. Shumaker of the Indiana AntiSaloon League at his hearing May 11 for contempt of the State Supreme Court was forecast by applause of delegates at the annual meeting of the Indianapolis Church Federation Monday night. The Rev. F. A. Hayward, federation secretary, in the principal address. declared. "We thank God for the Anti-Saloon League and its noble standard-bearer. Dr. Shumdker.” Attorney Earl It. Conder, 25 Meridian PL. was re-elected president for the third time. Other officers elected: Thomas C. Day, Thomas C. Howe, the Rev. Virgil E. Rorer. the Rev. F. A. Hayward and the Rev. Frederick E. Taylor, vice presidents; P. R. McAnally, recording secretary, and E. A. Hendrickson, treasurer; members of the executive committee for 1927 vacancies: the Rev.MV. A. Shullenberger, and the Rev. Eldeu H. Mills: for 1928 vacancies, the

Tell him to take Cod Liver Oil for a couple of months and get enough good healthy flesh on his bones to look like a real man. Tell him, It's the only way to take those grave-ltke hollows from his cheeks and neck. Tell him he won't have to swallow the nasty oil with the nauseating fishy taste because the McCoy Laboratories of New York, are now putting up Cod Liver Oil in sugar coated tablet form. Ask for McCoy’s Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets. Hook's, Goldsmith Bros, and every druggist sells them—--00 tanlets —00 cents. Any man or woman can put on five pounds of healthy flesh In 30 days or your druggist Js authorized to refund the purchase price. One woman put on 15 pounds in six weeks.

job costing from $5 to $25. It prevents carbon formation and it removes carbon after it is formed. No dangerous drugs or chemicals are needed. Simply pour a little warm water and soda through the valves of the vaporizer and the carbon comes right out through the exhaust pipe. The Stransky Vaporizer also reduces spark plug trouble, prevents overheating, makes engine start easier and prolongs the life of motor. It is absolutely automatic and self-regulating. It has no springs, shutters, diaphragms or delicate parts to get out of order It requires no adjustment—you can attach it in three minutes. It will lengthen the life of any car—and it’s guaranteed to last the life of your ear. The Stransky Vaporizer actually cuts the cost of gasoline by making eaeh gallon give more power and more mileage. Unless you use the Stransky Vaporizer, you are actually wasting gasoline?—for every ten gallons you buy you arc losing from one to five. One Million Satisfied Usprs With this wonderful new invention auto drivers in all parts of the country have chalked up records of from 37 to 57, and even 61 miles, to a gallon of gasoline. Every day we hear of some now record—some difficult feat such as pulling a car through deep sand or up a mountain on half the usual gas.

King and Hudson Show Marked Savings h I surely do agree with the claim that your attachment will reduce gas consumption. It has been tried both in a King Roadster and a Hudson Sedan with marked savings of gas. This makes me more interested in your Vaporizer.— Albert O. Krohn. Cole 8 Makes Same Mileage as Ordinary Ford That Vaporizer is doing big business on my Cole 8 and I am making about the same as if I had a Ford or any other small car. When you can have the pleasure of a big car with the same expense as you have with a small one it is worth the price—A. E. Jacobs. Makes 40 Miles on a Gallon of Gasoline 1 have been using your Vaporizer and like it fine. Made a test drive last week and It went 40 miles on a gallon, which may sound strong, but I didn't have anything to do with the testing. All I did was drive. —F. H. Ferguson. Cleans Out the Carbon My engine was dirty. It would knock going up most any grade. Now I-sel-dom hear a carbon knock and have passed a good many gas pumps without being obliged to stop.—A. L. Rogers. Ford Averages Over 40 Miles to the Gallon I tested the No. 1 Vaporizer on my 1923 Ford Coupe with the following results: 1 qt. gasoline without Vaporizer, 8.1 miles; 1 qt. gasoline with Vaporizer, 12.7 miles. On three 1-qt. tests I averaged over 49 miles to the gallon.—C. li Mulvahlll.
