The whole town was ‘here, for the

for days. The President of the Town
Council, rapping for order, said:
“Ladies and Gentiemen, this summer

was done in huge army cantonmen's;
it can be done here, and you are go-

Doctor Simpson quieted the storm
of applause which greeted him, and

He told of the death rate of infants
which increases with the advance of
the fly season and lessens with its de-

“Flies,” he continued, “mean always

the chairman, “but it has never been

Some More Ammunition for “Pussy-
foot” Johnson.
i A recent English visitor to Ameri-
ca, writing in The British Weekly,
i warns his readers not to credit the
stories against prohibition which ap-
| pear sometimes in American newspa-
| pers, and are cabled to England and
i Scotland. They are liquor propagan-
da, he tells his fellow countrymen (a
| fact which we in America under-
| stand), but they are being used as a
| weapon against prohibition i in Britain.
‘Here is one of the things that have
| helped persuade all America that pro-
hibition is a good thing. The Juve-
nile Prohibition officer, of Cuyahoga
county, Ohio, in which is the city of
Cleveland—now possibly the fourth
or fifth city of the United States in
size, has just issued his annual report.
He declares that since the advent of
prohibition, neglect of minor children
has decreased fifty per cent., and “the
situation is improving steadily.”
Numbers of fathers on parole, who
used to spend their chief earnings in
the saloon, now take their pay envel-
opes home with them intact. Such re-
ports furnish the best kind of ammu-
nition for “Pussy-foot” Johnson, the
doughty American prohibitionist who
is bombarding the strongholds of the
British liquor interests.
