DISTILLERS TO MAKE NATIONAL 'DRY' LAW TEST

Steps to be Taken to Attack Constitutionality of Federal Act. s (By Associated Press) NEW YORK. March 21. The committee of distillers of the United States representing the entire distilling Industry, announced Thursday that steps were being taken to attack the constitutionality of the federal prohibition amendment and the war-time prohibition act. Levy Mayer of Chicago, counsel for the organization, was instructed to arrange for a suit to test the emergency prohibition law after the treaty of peace has been signed. Action to bring about a judicial review of the eighteenth amendment, it was stated, would await the outcome of referendum elections in thirteen states where petitions calling for a popular vote on the "bone dry" enactment have been filed or are in circulation. Mr. Mayer advised the committee that In states having referendum laws and whose legislatures have ratified the amendment the ratification would have no effect unless a majority of the votes cast In the election favored the amendment. Pin Faith in Referendum The attorney also gave an opinion that If the war-time prohibition act la unconstitutional manufacture of distilled spirits, forbidden by the president under the food conservation laws rould be lawfully resumed as soon as the war Is ended. In their discussion of measures to nullify the federal amendment, the distillers named California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, New Mexico, Colorado, Michigan, Ohio, Missouri, Maine and Nebraska as states where referendum petitions have been circulated. As forty-five state legislatures ratified the amendment, nine more than the necessary three-fourths the distillers' announced plan of action could not be carried out if the reople of more than four states approved the decisions of their legisla

tive bodies.

Ohio Courts Must Decide How Dry State Will Be COLUMBUS, March 21. Nobody knows how dry Ohio will be after May 27. It will 'up to the courts to decide whether the state will be bone dry, dry, damp or downright wet. - That is because the house did not pass the emergency clause of the Crabbe prohibition enforcement bill. Since the senate is expected to take similar action, the law cannot take ef-

j feet until November because there unI doubtedly will be a referendum on it. The courts will have to say whether liquor regulations will be in force after May 27. Drys suggest they may file Injunctions in Common Pleas Court. These cases could be carried to the Supreme Court and, if granted, sale of liquor would be contempt of court.

Nine People Out of Ten Have Acid Stomach and Indigestion Acid in Stomach That Sour and Ferment Your Food Should Be Neutralized With Laxcarin to End Indigestion. "While there are many forms of stomach trouble," says a physician who has made a special study of stomach disorders, "I believe that fully ninety percent of these cases are traceable to the excessive secrtion of hydrochloric acid in the stomach with consequent food fermentation, gas and delayed digestion. The stomach needs a certain amount of acid for proper digestion, but many people have an unnatural tendency to secrete more acid than their stomach requires. This excess acid makes all the trouble. Their stomachs are almost constantly in a state of sourness and ferment, extremely irritating and inflaming to the stomach lining and most everything they eat disagreed and turns to gas. No wonder we have so much so-called In-, digestion and dyspepsia. An "acid-stomach" should be neutralized or sweetened daily with som simple, harmless anti-acid like laxcarin tablets, which instead of merely artf ficially digesting the acid food, as do so' many pepsin and digestive acids.

counteracts or changes the acid, soothes and heals the sore, inflamed stomach and permits normal healthy digestion without pain or trouble of any kind. Laxcarin is no cure-all and it will not cure Cancer, or any organic trouble, but for Nervousness, Indigestion, Sour Acid Stomach, Flatulance, Heart Palpitation caused by the stomach being filled with gas, there is nothing that will reach these troubles like laxcarin. Laxcarin relieves quickly and harmlessly all stomach disorders. "Laxcarin Is sold by the Laxcarin Products Co., Dept. E-94, Pittsburgh, Penna.

DANDRUFF SURELY DESTROYS THE HAIR

OS

Girls If you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't. It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash It out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liouid arvon: apply it at

night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it 'in gently j

with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or

more applications will completely dis-j solve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inex-I pensive and four ounces is all you will j need, no. matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never j fail3. Adv. j
