If you have not already supplied yourself with holiday "spirits," then you may as well reconcile yourself to the thought of eating your Chrlstma dinner without any stomach-warming appetiser containing more than the much-abused one-half of one per cent. Terhaps the reader will give vent to a little snicker of disbelief as he lovingly fondles a card in his pocket bearing the latest quotations of bis favorlto bootlegger. But real honest-to-goodnes liquor will be mors scarce this holiday season than foot-warmers In the tropics, according to prohibition officials here.
