It was the duty of the Mayor to place before cltlzens in hls nddressatrue state- ment, Instead of passing compli- ments to all and sundry. The claim made that; they dldso greatly better tn managing the finances than was done ln the previous year ls also incorrect. The real estate and personal property taxes collected for 1938 amounted to $176,870.93, but. 1-8 of this amount; of $22,121.86 was contri- buted by the additional 1-4 of one percent added by this Council to the rate of the previous year.

THE CAUSE AND CORRECTION OF BAD BREATH There ls no question but that, the use of the mouth warhes so exten- sively advertised helps to Sweetie“ bad breath, but as there ls always a cause for this condition, that cause should be sought; while the mouth washes are being ired.

And one of the benefits received was that the breath lost its bad c ‘er for scme tune after the barium meal was used. Another" treatment; mentioned a few months ago was the use of kaolin-a form of clay used in making: china-which likewise swept; the large" lntetlne clean ant‘ sweetened the breath. Kaolin used ln the form ot‘ a dry powder ls blown into the throats of lndlvld- uals known as diphtheria carriers- thosc who do not suffer with diphtheria but can infect others u the diphtheria. organisms are ol- ways prewnl: in‘ the throat. This destroys the organisms.

LePage, West Toronto, appears in the West Toronto Week- ly o! the 4th inst. Mr. LePnge ls a cousin of the Hon. B. W. LePage of this clty, and has been a rest- dent of Toronto for some years.) To the Editor of the West. To- ronto Weekly: At the beginning o1’ the present; century ‘there was n man called Billy sundav. a DOV-Tl baseball player and sportsman, whose early limited Bible gospel education must have denied him the will power to resist over-tn- dulgence 1n strong drink, which was undemlnlng hls constitution and character. When he heard a real Gospel sermon about our Saviour eating and drinking in the market place with publlcans anu sinners, with his strong personal- ity telling them of the sin of over. indulgence in eating and drinking, and heard hls reply to the high priests, scribes and Pharisees - "they that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. I came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance." That sermon changed the current of his life, and, like John B. Gough, Richard Weaver and many others. he became an earnest preacher of that same gospel. Who has not heard of the Rev. William Sunday? He was the man who brought many thousands into the Klnglom of God through his gospel service re- vlvals. At the height o1 hls popularity he got the idea. that the Goseipl proces was too slow to convert the world tn hls time, and bring in the millennium age, and the Kingdom of God on earth as it 1s in Heaven, and started preaching the law of prohibition. as the only means and panacea for the evtl of lntemper- anee, until it, became the law 1n 1920. Among the many expressions he used was that there was enough beer and distilled llquors made in the United States and imported each year to make s lake long, wide and deep enough to float the United States navy, and that the government was receiving a revenue of many billions each year from breweries, hotel and saloon llcenses, duties on imported liquors-all blood money; and all those who granted licenses, sold or drank beer or liquor would be eternally damned. ' l Looking back after ten years of this nightmare of prohibition sow- ing, what has the harvest been? We are still reaping its ghastly re- suits. Loss o1’ farmers in feed to 500.- 000 teams of breyery horses, hay, oats and corn, and sale of barley, rye and hops to breweries amount. tng to many mtlllons each year. Add to this the closing up of the wagon or dray factorles, horse- shoes and nall factories, black- smlths, buckle and harnessmsk. ers, tanneries, tan bark, lumber, caskmakers and many other tn- dlreet industries created, such ns hotel and bar fittings, mirrors, bottles and glasses, etc, which would add to the above in income and other taxes another btlllon or two. This ls n. summary or rough estt- mate of the losses to the people of the United States by trying to enforce prohibition and a. pm rota. amount to the Dominion o! Canada's twelve million. This drove the western farmers to specialize on ivheat, and over- production caused the price to drop so 10w there was no profit when sold, and farmers bad to mortgage their farms to the llmlt. to pay their bills and carry on. with high interest and increasing taxes ruining many of them. The hotel and saloon proprietors sold out and invested their money in stocks and bruks, which through rash and terrain-rt dealing, callapsed ln 1930 l‘l‘l m; the heads of fam- ilies, widows nnd many manufactu- lng industries. These conditions drove many of the brewery employees to erect stills Lo make illicit beer and whis- key. the bartenders to become bootleggers and sell all kinds of alcoholic drinks and canned heat. ivhieh poisoned thousands and ‘in mmly cases leaving widows and children 11;; c1452.. on the comitry and dope fiends to flll our usylums. Besides all this the remaining public, taxed to the breaking-point to pay an army of dry agents, and a flotilla of gun-boats and gunners to prevent the smuggling, llllctt. stills, bootloggmg and speakeasles. All this costing billions each year with no revenue coming tn to pay this army of government men, and so the whole nation had to borrow btlllons with interest. Attempted prohibition dried ID the streams and rivers o! revenue that turned the wheels of industry, ruined millions of good business men, causing robbery and bandltry, fllllng our prisons wltli criminals, creating an army of unemployed, and clvlllzatlon ls being demoraliz- ed by unprlnelpled political graf- ters, selfishness and greed. The standard of truth has fallen in the streets and ls being tramp- led upon (Isaiah 50-14: “And judg- ment ls turned away backward. and justice standeth afar off; for truth is fallen ln the street and equity cannot enter?) and the teachings of Christ are not; practlt ed by those in high authority 1n the government and many of the v c1 chea. (Matt. 5-13: "Ye are the salt of the earth: but lf the salt has lost its savour wherewlth shall lt be salted? It ls hence- forth good for nothing but to be cast out. and trodlen under the foot of mam") In all the lndlvldunls and na- tions of the world there seems to be no Great.

This innovation seems to be an- other production of the law of prohibition which all goes to prove that trying to make people good and sober by the law of prohibition was the mam cause of the depres- sion 1n the United States and Canada-causing all those lama, revolutionary strikes. bank rob- beries. murders and the demoraliz- incs of civilization. practicing of the gospel of Jesus Christ will not save the world and civilization then no man-made laws can or will do 1t.

What would you think o! a nuller who stopped all the streams that. fed hln mill-dean and expected his mill to run without the water- power and then blame every other cause but hls own folly, because 1t would not grind his grist.

Conunentlng editorially on Mr. hePagek letter, the West Toronto Weekly says: "Most people resent being told that they must not do this or that. There ls something 1n “ an na- ture that rebels when prohlbltory measures are presented to them. They feel that their rights are be- ing interferred with and thus they delight: in testing the prohibltory laws. You see this every day 1n business dealings, 1n athletic ec- ttvltles. tn social associations and tn religious ltfe. The individual ls prompted by the prohibition to taste of the forbidden fruit. Some say that the present beverage room menace is the outcome of prohibition of liquor over this con- tinent. Certainly the present alt- ustlon is one that Ls to be deplor- ed. Beverage rooms as they are now run are not 1n the best inter- est: of the public. Yet it. would ap- pear that these very conditions will educate thirpeoiple to the need for creating something that will be more attractive to young people and less detrimental to their phy- sical being and mentality. It is not. prohlbitory measures that. are needed, but positive leadership that will show the fallacy of doing the thing that ls detrimental to the body and soul. The old Jewish negative laws were put Into the discard for the new interpretation by the greatest Leader o! men, the Nazarene. He taught men to love the thing that was good and reject that which was wrong. This love for the better‘ life lead men and women to give up that. which was wrong and strive to ‘ p that which was good. This 1s the spirit that should be lnculeeted 1n the heart. today. In tlhe minds o! the youth, the middle aged and the old there should be set a de- termined attack m present the reason and the need for an nb- stinence of those things that; des- troy. If this would be presented forcefully to the people there would be no more desire to surround West Toronto with hotels, nor would there be need for restricted areas or licenses. Once the revenue 1s cut off the hotels and all other evlls will disappear. These evils must because some persons, syndi- cates, or governments are reaping a. big return from the license ls- sued. Educate the people to the right ideals and the whole prob- lem will be solved. Prohlbltory laws do not stop evll practices." U. S. MARKETS CLOSED TODAY (A.
